Quotes of the Day

Avoiding diabetes and related metabolic dysfunction-especially by eliminating or reducing junk food-is very important to longevity. There appears to be a strong link between calories and cancer, the leading cause of death. The quality of the food you eat should be as important as the quantity. If you're eating the SAD (Standard American Diet), then you should eat much less of it. Conversely, if your diet is high quality to begin with, and you are metabolically healthy,, then only a slight degree of caloric restriction-or simply not eating to excess-can still be beneficial. [2023] - Peter Attia

If you're in a bidding war, cash is the king. Write subject free cash offers. It is uncommon for sellers to take an offer with subject clauses over a subject free cash offer UNLESS the offer with subject is MUCH higher than the asking price. Include a copy of your bank draft deposit with the offer. This shows that you are really serious. [2015] - Gary Wong

If your account has a bond index, a domestic stock index, and an international stock index, you'll have a good chance of success. A rule of thumb is that you should have a bond allocation that's roughly equivalent to your age. Some experts suggest that it should be your age minus 10, or if you want a riskier portfolio, your age minus 20. Common sense should be used here. A 50-year old government employee expecting a guaranteed pension when he retires can afford to invest less than 50 percent of his portfolio in bonds. [2017] - Andrew Hallam

If it appears that the risk on a trade is too large, the trade is not a high probability one and should be avoided. Don’t worry about missing trades. [2003] - Marcel Link
