...there's absolutely no rational reason why a rally couldn't be considered the real thing. I've looked at all of the major stock market collapses that we've had (40% decline, or more) including this one. Since 1900, we've had six others, and two of them were Depression related - one was the beginning of Great Depression and one was in the middle of the Depression era, in 1937. And the other four were outside of that era. When you look at those, what you find out is, off the low of every one of those...
...financials sector has lost 45% this year. I don't think it's because the financial sector's fundamentals worsened by 45% in six weeks. We cut the value of financial stocks in half mainly because our leadership created a run on the bank stocks by openly debating whether they should nationalize banks. There are certain things you just can't openly debate as a leader, like you can't openly debate whether you're going to do a surprise attack on another country. Or you can't debate whether you're going to close XYZ Bank, because while...
...average, the study participants lost about 13 lb. after six months of dieting, or about 7% of their starting weight, regardless of which diet plan they followed. At the one-year mark, the dieters had regained some of the lost weight, and after two years, average weight loss was about 9 lb. Only about 15% of participants were able to lose 10% of their body weight or more. Across the board, however, patients lowered their risk of diabetes and reduced blood levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) while increasing good cholesterol (HDL) and overall heart health...
...figure out what to eat. Eating less of it is even harder. Researchers had hoped to get study participants to eat 750 calories less than they expended each day - an objective that proved unsustainable. Dieters adhered to the initial plan for the first several weeks, but by the six-month mark, they were consuming only 225 calories less than they expended - about a third of the goal - according to a calculation based on overall weight loss. "It's very difficult to reduce your calories enough to really sustain a lot of weight loss," Loria says. (See pictures of facial yoga...
Sulhani fled his home in Galilee for Beirut in 1948 - the year Israel was founded. Since then, there have been six wars and dozens of violent upheavals in Lebanon, and more often than not Sulhani's family has been caught in the middle. Abdullah's 59-year-old daughter Ahlam is still picking shrapnel out of wounds she received from artillery fire in 1975. The family survived the infamous Shatila massacre of 1982 by sheer luck, fleeing from Lebanese militiamen almost as soon as the slaughter began. When they returned afterwards, most of their neighbors were dead, and there...
