Quotes of the Day

The monitoring time frame should be about 5 to 12 times higher than the one you are most comfortable looking at. When I’m day trading, I tend to look mostly at 5-minute charts, in which case I’ll use 60 minutes as my basis to make and monitor trades. [2003] - Marcel Link

Buying futures isn't much different from blowing $10,000 at the craps tables in Vegas. Futures prices depend on short-term, highly volatile price movements. As with gambling, you occasionally win when the market moves the right way at the right time. But in the long run, you're gonna lose. In fact, you can lose it all. Options are as risky as futures. With options, you're betting on the short-term movements of a specific security. The only real use that you may (if ever) have for these derivatives is to hedge (e.g. using put options allows you to postpone selling your stock without exposing yourself to the risk of a falling stock price). [2019] - Eric Tyson

Pension credit (federally) is applied to your first $2,000 of eligible income. Payments must be on a scheduled, periodic basis. For example, a monthly, quarterly or annual payment from a RRIF would be eligible for the pension credit, but lump-sum withdrawals from an RRSP would not. Non-registered investment income (with the exception of the taxable portion of non-registered annuities) or rental income are also ineligible. The pension credit is applicable to federal tax. When provincial tax credits are also factored in, this is worth approximately $320 to $580 in terms of taxes that you don't have to pay, depending on your province of residence. [2019] - Daryl Diamond

If you're investing in a smaller market (i.e., markets like Barrie, Red Deer, Medicine Hat, Weyburn, Port Alberni, etc.), make sure that the folks in the property management business in your area will take on a property like the one you're about to buy. [2013] - Julie Broad

Radishes are completely unable to stop pancreatic cancer cell growth. However, radishes were 100% effective at halting the growth of stomach cancer cells. Orange bell peppers were useless against stomach cancer, but they were able to suppress prostate cancer cell growth by more than 75%. A diversified diet, containing several distinct classes of vegetables (and hence of phytochemicals) is essential for effective prevention of cancer. [2005] - Adam Ginsberg
