Quotes of the Day

It is expected that more than half a trader’s trades will be losers—-that’s part of trading—-so in order to compensate, the winners have to be bigger than the losers. Taking too many small profits without letting good trades develop is a bad practice. [2003] - Marcel Link

The Galleri test looks at methylation patterns of the cell-free DNA, which are basically chemical changes to the DNA molecules that suggest the presence of cancer. In a study, the Galleri test proved to have a very high specificity, about 99.5%, meaning only 0.5% of tests yielded a false positive. If the test says you have cancer, somewhere in your body, then it's likely that you do. The trade-off is that the resulting sensitivity can be low, depending on the stage. (That is, even if the test says you don't have cancer, you're not necessarily in the clear.) Keep in mind this test still has much higher resolution than radiographic tests such as MRI or mammogram. Those imaging-based tests require "seeing" the tumor, which can happen only when the tumor reaches a certain size. With Galleri, the test is looking at cell-free DNA, which can come from any size tumor-even ones that remain invisible to imaging tests. [2023] - Peter Attia

As each new bar is made, whether a weekly or intraday time frame, new information is available. As the market structure (pattern) develops, it may provide important clues to the position of the trend and where a stop should be adjusted. Price targets will often be adjusted depending on the pivot highs and lows made as a trend develops. [2009] - Robert C. Miner

As entrepreneurs we raise capital from three groups of people. They are your customers, investors, and employees. If you have employees, your job is to get them to produce and make at least ten times more money than you pay them. [2008] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

Walking before eating can offset the detrimental effects of high-fat meals, lowering by 25% the levels of blood triglycerides (a type of fat related to how much sugar you eat, above-normal levels can lead to heart disease). Wait at least an hour after eating, and don't exercise too close to bedtime, as you may then take longer to fall asleep. [2021] - Gerald Lemole
