Quotes of the Day

Lots of companies are busy developing their own ‘social sentiment indicator’ for Bitcoin and other cryptos. One of the first to launch was the Bitcoin Social Sentiment Indicator from the Finatext team developing the Pipster trading app. The financial research company MarketPsych is another pioneer in this area. Its team developed a sentiment metric they call the MarketRisk Index, which quantifies the characteristics of speech on media and news sites, as well as social media. Sentiment really does often start changing before the price changes direction. These tools are very new, experimental and not yet widely used. Once they do become widely used, they may in fact lose some of their predictive power because the potential gains will be arbitraged away. [2019] - Glen Goodman

I like to buy on breakouts because it gives the crypto that extra oomf at the start of the trade and therefore makes it less likely that I will quickly hit my stop-loss. But this is not a key consideration. You could buy at any random point in the early stages of a trend and still make good money as long as you learn to sit patiently during an upward trend and then sell at the end in a disciplined way. [2019] - Glen Goodman

You can lose friends by knowing too much about them--even if they tell you! [2009] - Leil Lowndes

Will gold price go up in a straight line? Of course not. No market ever does that. I expect one or more corrections along the way--sharp plunges by as much as 20 or 25 percent. But these will be mere bumps along the road. In fact, savvy investors will treat them as the buying opportunities that they are. [2009] - James DiGeorgia

If you chop the broccoli (or brussels sprouts, kale, collards, cauliflower, or any other cruciferous vegetable) and then wait 40 minutes, you can cook it as much as you want. At that point, the sulforaphane has already been made. (You can also buy bags of fresh greens and other crucifers that are prechopped or shredded, which can presumably be cooked immediately). If you don't have 40 minutes to spare between chopping and cooking, or if you're using frozen greens, just sprinkle the crucifers with some mustard powder before you eat them. The addition of powdered mustard seeds to cooked broccoli significantly increases sulforaphane formation. [2005] - Adam Ginsberg
