"Dollar Cost Averaging" in an index fund is a pretty good way to minimize risk while tracking the overall return of the market. It avoids the general "timing" risk of buying too high because you are putting the same amount of money into the market at essentially all price points, so that your investment is tracking…

I don't know why people are being lambasted for stating the obvious: If you hit someone, they may hit you back. Whether you are a man or woman, you cannot claim to be the victim if you are the one who initiated the physical violence.

I find that many American micro-brewed IPAs are packed with flavor, often because of (and sometimes despite) the hops. The hops usually provide flavors and aromas of citrus and pine, bu there can be many bold or even subtle variations depending the age and style of the hops used. Many of the seIPAs have significant…

you were too late.

Didn't know he was the resident expert on West Africa

true.

There is a reason for weight classes in boxing. A 250lb man beating up a 165 lb man proves nothing except that the 250 lb man is a coward for not fighting someone his own size

He traveled.

You beat me to it. I'd be willing to bet that Burke had never heard of Burkina Faso or its capitol until the plane crash.

I am not saying that what Ray Rice did was self-defense, but I recall from the reports of the incident that his wife struck him first (apparently the video from inside the elevator shows this). I don't know enough about it to pass judgment. If she was relentlessly attacking him, then maybe he was justified…

It is possible. If a woman tried to rob you would you let her? What if she tried to kidnap your child or kick your dog? The dog example actually happened to me (not my dog, but I threw the woman to the ground so she wouldn't kick the dog again).

THERE A MANY CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE IT IS OKAY FOR A MAN TO HIT A WOMAN.

There are times when it is okay to hit a woman. Being a woman is not a license to commit crimes against men.

I assume that this list assumes that each of the fillings are perfectly seasoned and cooked, right?

I am fairly hirsute man (I grow a thick and full red/brown beard within a week or two of not shaving and I've got chest hair that you can run your fingers through) and these pro-hairy comments are greatly reassuring. Keep up the good work ladies.

Perhaps this is because you use a double negative in a sentence and thereby render your meaning the opposite of what you intended?

Isn't this just a math and liquidity question that applies to paying off any debt versus the alternative of saving or investing? If the debt you have carries an interest rate which is appreciably higher than the rate you can reasonably expect to gain by investing, then pay down the debt unless you have a level of…

What? This is mind-blowing news.

I can agree with you about Ketchup on steak. Never done it (other than in a London Broil marinade, but that is pre-grilling). Steak = salt, pepper and olive oil before cooking and nothing after (unless I'm making some special topping like Gorgonzola butter or chimichurri)

I have never really understood the argument that working out with others is motivating. Are people so incapable of being self-motivated that they need a buddy or a team of people cheering them on? Other than perhaps the need for a spotter, I generally workout better alone. Is it that hard to set your own goals and…
