After an Athenian jury sentenced him to death and his friends and followers in attendance began weeping, Socrates spoke… “What is this strange outcry? … I have been told that a man should die in peace. Be quiet, then, and have patience.” Socrates spent decades as a teacher – or, as he liked to describe himself, a “midwife to the soul.” But it was his manner at his death and his final words that sparked an entire school of philosophy… Inspired by the…
It’s that time of year again… The holiday season is over. There are no more Christmas gifts to be given, no more family dinners to endure… And if you’re like many people, you’re probably left with a stack of almost-empty gift cards in your wallet after trying to spend them at the mall. It’s hard to believe how many people let their gift cards go to waste. Of the estimated $130 billion worth of gift cards purchased every year, consumers leave an average…
William Shakespeare stole most of his plots. Take his most famous romantic tragedy, Romeo and Juliet… Shakespeare copied the plot from a poem written by fellow Elizabethan Arthur Brooke around 30 years earlier… And Brooke’s poem was an adaptation of a story published in 1554 by Italian writer Matteo Bandello… who lifted the plot from Luigi da Porto’s 1531 story Giulietta e Romeo. Bandello’s version had been especially popular at the time, and many Italian theatre groups converted it into plays. It’s likely…
Doc’s note: Today, I’m rounding out my series of the three things you need to do to live a healthier, wealthier lifestyle in 2019 with the one thing I see millennials doing better than other generations. No matter how old you are, it’s something you need to start doing today… I hate to say it… but “millennials” are…
“Why can’t you guys just agree?” It’s one of the most common questions I’ve seen recently. Folks don’t understand why all of the analysts here at Stansberry Research can’t agree on a specific topic… Whether it’s the price of oil… the direction of the market… or what the latest Federal Reserve decision really means for your portfolio (nothing, by the way), I often find myself on opposite sides of some of the other editors and analysts here, including Porter Stansberry and Steve…
Kneeling on the cold parking-lot asphalt was the last thing they wanted to do that winter’s afternoon… But my researchers are always in pursuit of new tips to share with you. And I’d asked them to go outside to work on my Hyundai. Specifically, I wanted them to focus on my old, cloudy headlights. We’ve all seen them… Maybe some of you also have them… And not only are they ugly, they are downright dangerous. A new study from AAA finds that the…
My team likes to tease me about having a travel bug. They never know where I am or where I’m going from day to day… and I like to keep them on their toes. Between my places around the country, Hampton Inns and other Hilton properties, I fly at least seven times a month. Some folks we’ve talked to have reported delays at major airports in the past few weeks. That’s because the government shutdown forced TSA agents to work without pay…
