Quotes of the Day

A strategy I often employ after a sharp rise is to take profits on part of my position and leave the rest open. It’s a particularly useful strategy after a really sharp rise, because quite often a sharp rise is followed by a sharp fall, so it can make sense to hedge your bets by taking profits on a portion of your trade. [2019] - Glen Goodman

It's the accelerate alternatives that save you the big bucks. When you pay weekly (52 payments per year) or biweekly (26 payments per year) instead of monthly (12 payments per year), the interest savings are minimal. With accelerated weekly (52 payments per year) and biweekly (26 payments per year), you're paying the equivalent of an extra month's payment every year. [2017] - Sean Cooper

Reflux treatment with acid-suppressive medications alone (e.g. PPIs, "purple pills") is not useful as a diagnostic test. If a chronic cougher does not respond to antireflux medication, it does not prove anything. Reflux may still be the cause of the cough. [2014] - Jamie Koufman

I love using limit orders because they allow me to go about my life without worrying about prices too much while the markets do their usual movements. I’m not a big fan of stop-losses. Volatile markets such as cryptocurrencies normally bounce back up from the lows as rapidly as they fall. That’s why by using a stop-loss order, you may end up getting out of your position prematurely and miss out on potential gains. Short-term traders are more likely to use stop-losses. Long-term investors are supposed to have made the risk-management calculation ahead of time, making sure they have enough time to wait things out. [2019] - Kiana Danial

If your gums bleed when you brush or floss, it is likely you have gingivitis. Often, gingivitis occurs when your body’s immune system is weak or compromised, such as during pregnancy, a period of stress, hormone fluctuation, menopause, or if your mouth is dry from the side effects of taking certain medications or using an asthma inhaler or antihistamine drug. When you notice bleeding, it is important to take action immediately to resolve this. If gingivitis is untreated for more than a few days, deeper damage can occur, and a gum pocket may form that is much more permanent and difficult to resolve. [2018] - Ellie Phillips
