Quotes of the Day

Carbs help maintain blood glucose during exercise and restore muscle glycogen during rest and recovery from exercise. The recommended daily intake is a minimum of 130 grams, or 45-65% of daily calories for adults, independent of age or activity level. This is the minimum needed for your brain to function. It's recommended that athletes consume 6-10 grams of carbs for every kilogram of body weight per day. The majority should be in the form of less-refined, less-processed foods with a low glycemic (blood sugar) load. If you're on a low-calorie diet (fewer than 2,000 calories per day), it may be difficult to achieve the recommended 6 grams of carbs per kilogram of weight each day. [2015] - Vonda Wright

The terms "REO property" and "foreclosed property" are often used interchangeably, but both refer to the same concept: a bank-owned property. Today, REOs are usually listed on the MLS. The homes are listed through local real estate agents and sold to the higher or best buyer. REOs can be exceptionally good for investors for two reasons. 1. There is usually something distressed about the property. Many people simply avoid these properties, because they don't want to deal with the problems. 2. Banks are not likely to get offended by a low offer and will look at your offer analytically, not emotionally. For this reason, banks are often willing to drop their price fast to get the property sold and off their books. [2015] - Brandon Turner

Changing investments from interest earning investments to dividend earning investments gives us the greatest planning opportunities. And it is also the easiest. How can you do it? By buying preferred shares, or by investing in an investment fund that holds preferred shares. People, who have always been comfortable depositing money with banks in exchange for interest, may now consider purchasing bank shares instead. This way you can earn a piece of the billion dollar profits earned each year by Canadian banks. [2007] - David M. Voth
