More than 20 years ago, Stansberry Research founder Porter Stansberry hired me (Dave Lashmet)...

He wanted me to write about the economics of medicine for the everyday investor.

The engagement ring was contingent on Lisa Robillard dropping several dress sizes...

Most brides-to-be want to shed a few pounds before the big day. However, for Robillard, the goal came with some extra pressure. Her fiance would only marry her if she lost weight.

Shannon Bream awoke to an assailant stabbing her eyes. But the horrific pain didn't come from a murderous intruder in the Fox News host's bedroom...

It was all happening in her eyes... every time she got an hour of sleep.

Around the eighth hole, Ike started really regretting all of those Bermuda onions...
