Quotes of the Day

Depth of Corrective Waves: Corrections, especially when they themselves are fourth waves, tend to register their maximum retracement within the span of travel of the previous fourth wave of one lesser degree, most commonly near the level of its terminus. On occasion, flat corrections or triangles, particularly those following extensions, will barely fail to reach into the fourth wave area. Zigzags, on occasion, will cut deeply and move down into the area of the second wave of lesser degree, although this almost exclusively occurs when the zigzags are themselves second waves. "Double bottoms" are sometimes formed in this manner. [2001] - Robert Prechter

Spending tends to slow down as people age. When my father was in his late eighties, he barely spent more than his monthly CPP and OAS payments. He didn't travel. Most retirees realize that the first 10 years of retirement, regardless of whether they retire at age 48 or 68, will be the best 10 years that they have. Using the average in Canada, a male aged 65 can expect to live another 15 years, 8 of which will be in good health. Females can expect to live another 19 years, 9 of which will be free from major health problems. Some planners contend that income projections should extend until the younger of two married partners is 90. The majority of those about to retire today will make it into their eighties. [2019] - Daryl Diamond

You will learn and grow the least in your areas of weakness. [2007] - Marcus Buckingham

The key is to find a market where rents are sufficiently strong while at the same time having a low-enough purchase price. There is a sweet spot to be found in the outlying areas of most major centres. Keep in mind though that outlying areas tend to have less diversified economic bases than major cities, so while the cash flow may be greater, it may not be as stable. You would be very hard pressed to find a property with such strong cash flows in major cities, but you can still find positive cash flow. Finding great cash-flowing deals can take a bit of time. You have to do the research and be patient for the right deal, and you will need a few connections, but it can be done. Working with a world-class real estate agent makes searching and negotiating far easier. [2017] - Calum Ross

Slower speech makes you appear stronger and more confident. Women prefer a voice that is "bright" and capable of a variety of inflections but is of low timbre and without a large range of vocal pitch. In other words, one that is expressive but not all over the field. [2006] - Leil Lowndes
