    Back when orders were sent verbally on the trading floor, did errors ever erupt 'I said buy not sell', etc.?

    I couldn't find this by searching, but from watching old movies I used to see the circles on the trading floor where stocks or commodities were traded, and with all the shouting there had to be mistakes made I am sure.

    I was just wondering if anyone ever went through that, was it common and how it was it handled.

    Thanks

    So basically I wanna know how I can get fast news on important stuff that is happening in the market for example it would've been wonderful to be one of the first to know about Chipotle's E. coli problem or when united airlines booted that guy off the plane. Basically I just wanna know how to stay in the loop with an app or something.

    I’m new to the market.

    Posted: 01 Dec 2017 07:12 PM PST

    New to the market and I feel as if things haven't been performing well the past week. My brother is new to the market as well and he keeps talking about "the correction" I'm wondering if anyone thinks that is a plausible concern at this point in time? Seeing red for the past week has got me spooked.. but I know I am new to this and I've done pretty well since this past week. Are my fears warranted? Should I sell if I keep losing money and rebuy to cover my losses? Or should I HOLD ON FOR DEAR LIFE? Any input will be appreciated. Thanks.

    Beginner's Guide to Picking Stocks: Step 4 of 10.

    Posted: 01 Dec 2017 01:57 PM PST

    As always, you can read this on my blog, or read it on Reddit.

    Step 4 of 10: What is company's business and/or growth strategy?

    Once we figure out the company's competitive advantage is, we can kind of get the feel for what the company should focus on and how the company should operate because we would want the company's strategy to either focus on protecting their moat or trying to go after other weak moats to grow their own moat. We should also watch out if the company to spreading out too thin since one company cannot do everything.

    Let's quickly summarize what Apple's competitive advantages were.

    Premium brand

    Network effect

    Ease of Use

    Customer Service

    Apple's 2016 annual report under business strategy, their first sentence is:

    "The Company is committed to bringing the best user experience to its customers through its innovative hardware, software, and services"

    This state is perfectly in-line with the competitive advantage that we wrote down in Step 3 of 10. We said that ease of use is one of their competitive advantages.

    Here is another statement made by Apple:

    "The Company believes a high-quality buying experience with knowledgeable salespersons … the Company's strategy also includes building and expanding its own retail and online stores and its third-party distribution network to effectively reach more customers and provide them with a high-quality sales and post-sales support experience."

    This statement is in-line with customer service being one of their competitive advantages.

    Expanding the network:

    "The Company also supports a community for the development of third-party software and hardware products and digital content that complement the Company's offerings."

    The more users, the more developers, which will create more apps, which will more value for the end user. This will increase Apple's network advantage.

    TL; DR

    • Check back what the competitive advantages are.
    • Check the company's business strategy.
    • Do their strategies revolve around protecting their competitive advantages?

    Rite Aid & Amazon

    Posted: 01 Dec 2017 09:51 AM PST

    It's been rumored for a short while that Amazon is trying to break into pharmaceuticals and that the company they're likely to acquire is Rite Aid. Do you think they'll actually go through with this acquisition and what would this mean for shareholders of Rite Aid if they do (I have a bit of an idea, but I just want to hear other's thoughts)?

    *I'm a bit new to this.

    The domain name has been reserved, anybody have any knowledge from investor relations of the company going international because I can't find it if there is. The company is performing very well with upgraded guidance, the recent pullback is a buying opportunity.
