A good time-stop is three times the timeframe you’re using. If you’re using 15-minute charts, you might want to abandon the trade if neither your profit nor your stop loss is hit after 45 minutes. If you’re using 60 minute charts, get out after 3 hours. [2008] - Markus Heitkoetter

When in doubt, choose black. Black is a popular color for clothing because it's background--you get noticed before your clothing. For most people, it's flattering. It makes heavy people look thin and thin folks look elegant. Men: try a black turtleneck sweater with a jacket.

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
