| What are all the parts of a stock you look at before investing? Posted: 09 Dec 2017 11:34 PM PST When you see a spread sheet or a stock in general, what pulls you in and is always consistent with what you observe? I hope this makes sense, thanks! [link] [comments]  |

| I'm buying Netflix January 2019 Puts Posted: 09 Dec 2017 09:15 AM PST I've finally decided to pull the trigger. Here is my reasoning in a very brief nutshell: The company has ~109 million subscribers at the moment. The world has about 1.2 billion households, only 50% of which can afford a Netflix subscription at the current prices, so there is a limit to the upside. The question is: what will the next 500 million subscribers bring that the first 100 million didn't? In order to attract subscribers, the company must spend massively to build original content, so the free cash flow is horrendous. The company has diluted shareholders massively, and has taken on a mountain of debt. At the same time, the shares are trading at multiples that assume a very profitable future will magically appear. It doesn't make sense to me and I think that over time, the shares will fall from these levels. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Dec 2017 05:13 PM PST Hello, I am in my mid 20s was just looking for some advice on how I should change up my investments relating to retirement based accounts. When I joined the military a few years ago, I decided to invest in mutual funds on my own instead of contributing to the military investment plan known as the TSP (Thrift Savings Plan). When I initially opened the account I made it a Roth IRA and have focused on high dividend yielding funds for long term stable gains, which has done very well since I opened it. I spoke to my father-in-law today about helping my wife start her retirement savings (I don't plan on having us jump into short term investments until we both become more educated on trading) and he brought to my attention that I should postpone any further large investments into my Roth. His stance was that the pre-tax contributions would push our taxable income even lower and save us more in the long run. Since we can control our income stream at retirement assuming we are just drawing from investment vehicles, we essentially get to choose what tax brackets we fall into as well. I wasn't even thinking about that when I first started. Should I begin investing more heavily into a Traditional IRA through TSP, and if so, should I reduce my Roth contributions or keep it the same if it won't hurt me financially? I'm just wondering if it's necessary to even open a Traditional IRA and if it will dramatically effect me in the long run if I don't, assuming I can only swing contributing the maximum allowed by a Roth. Thank you. [link] [comments]  |

| what are the risks involved in buying a house as an investment with bank loaned money? Posted: 10 Dec 2017 02:53 AM PST A friend and I were interested in the idea that buying a house is relatively risk free, because if you can't make the payments or don't want to make the payments, you just go bankrupt (we're both single and have no family, responsibilities etc). So you are allowed the bank's money to invest in something with a potentially big upside, and if it doesn't work out you only have to deal with the consequences of bankruptcy. I have made many assumptions and may have A LOT wrong here, please let me know what you guys think. [link] [comments]  |
| Market cap diversification - why? Posted: 09 Dec 2017 08:43 AM PST I've seen this in many diversification articles - you should diversify by market cap (not only, ofc, but also). This never made any sense to me. Why? Market cap has no bearing on how easily can you survive/shrug off difficult times - what matters is mostly how in order are your financials and the sector. The reason large caps, in general, might weather a storm more easily is simply because they are established and therefore their financials are generally more healthy, while many small caps are still struggling or borrowing a lot so that they can grow. Imagine (an extremely small) portfolio - just for exemplification purposes - composed of 4 stable/growing and low debt small caps: one funeral care company, a discount retailer, a foreclosure company and an healthcare products provider. This portfolio should overperform any random large/mega cap during any recession. Am I missing something? [link] [comments]  |
| Advice for getting into the investing game with small amount of expendable income? Posted: 09 Dec 2017 12:39 PM PST I'm a student who recently was let go from an internship. I was honestly a little happy since this gives me more time to focus on school and enjoying my last break before I graduate from college and begin my career. One of the bad things though is that I lost the benefits of working at the company, namely the investment and retirement plan, which I had been contributing roughly 70% of my salary towards (50% to 401k and 20% to Roth IRA). My 401k was transfered to a standard 401k, which is good I guess but the money I had in the roth IRA was returned to me in the form of a check. As I don't necessarily need the money at this moment in time, I figured it would be better to invest it for my future. The amount if a little less that $2000, which doesn't really make it ideal for investing in stocks. Despite that, I would like to put it away into some long-term type investment option. Don't really know how to go about that though. Are there any others out there who have been in a similar situation or know of how I can best invest a small some of money for a moderate amount of time (predicting 5-7 years minimum). Thanks!

| Does anyone know the mechanism for expanding the money supply in the US through the 1960's? Posted: 09 Dec 2017 08:33 PM PST I'm watching Milton talk about the inflationary pressures of the era (filmed in '79, I think). The point of which is that inflation and monetary expansion are always correlated and revert to tracking together, yet with a delayed response. I'm specifically curious on how that mechanism might correlate to our expansionary era of QE. Thanks for the help! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Dec 2017 02:13 PM PST Hey everyone, Built this TSLA valuation model over the past few days and figured I'd share it for anyone interested link. Couple of notes: I have no experience valuing public companies so I would consider this more "advanced napkin math." There are A LOT of assumptions being made to get to these figures. If you have any information that would change these assumptions PLEASE share! The sheet is open for anyone to modify/comment! Cheers! [link] [comments]  |
| ETF with low daily trading volume (20k) Posted: 09 Dec 2017 01:53 PM PST The ETF I am looking to purchase (VCE) has a rather low daily trading volume, about 20k. Its market cap is not too bad, about $500m. If I were to invest in a relatively small fund like this, what are some of the implications? Will it be more difficult to sell? What is the maximum amount I should buy? [link] [comments]  |
| Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) to replace its core systems with a Blockchain by 2018 Posted: 10 Dec 2017 03:50 AM PST Announcement from ASX's website. Note, they never use the word "blockchain" (maybe they dislike the hype?) and opt to use the words "Distribute ledger".
I'm kind of confused though. Who does the mining in a distributed ledger without coins? What is the incentive for someone to verify buys/sells? Who is trusted to verify buy/sells? [link] [comments]  |
| How can I invest in the NYSE as a non US citizen? Posted: 10 Dec 2017 02:59 AM PST I'm currently a 22 year old student, and I'd like to trade on the NYSE but I'm not a citizen nor am I a resident of the US. Also I don't have enough to meet the minimum deposit requirements of most firms since I'll be starting with about 500usd . Any advice? [link] [comments]  |
| Time to invest in a 401k, I don't know what to do. Posted: 09 Dec 2017 11:08 PM PST These are my investment options. I'm deferring 7% of my biweekly income. My job matches 100% of the first 3% and 50% of the next 2%. I assume that means the last 2% won't be matched. Im not sure which options to invest in or why, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |

| Why I should not buy S&P500 ETF on margin Posted: 09 Dec 2017 09:53 PM PST SP500 averages about 10% annual return over time. Why shouldn't I open up a margin account with $10,000, and buy $20,000 worth of $VOO. The $10,000 margin loan would be at 2.66% interest rate from interactive brokers. Will pay the $10k debt off over 2-3 yrs. [link] [comments]  |

| My parents have $30K available for investing. Want to buy a house soon. What's the safe play? Posted: 09 Dec 2017 06:48 PM PST So, my parents wanted to buy a house soon (not like next week or next month) but in several months or could be end of 2018. I wanted to use their 30K which they have available sitting in their bank doing nothing and invest those money into some blue chip stocks. Since the rotation, everything in tech has been dipping. What are my option to this problem with the lowest risk? I don't mind small profit as long as the 30K can help them get some gainz so they can buy a house with some more money. Thanks, [link] [comments]  |
| Thoughts on Acorns vs Wealthfront? Posted: 09 Dec 2017 04:09 PM PST I have been using Acorns for the past year. I am happy with the product. However, they start charging $1/month and I am switching to Wealthfront (free under $10k). Any thoughts on this? or a better alternative. I am a recent grad with little money to invest.

| Posted: 09 Dec 2017 11:35 PM PST Hello all, I'm currently a senior at The University at Albany. With two semesters remaining until obtaining my bachelors in economics and business administration. I am looking for some hands on experience in the business world. Growing up in a lower class family I was forced to fend for myself. By the age of 12-13 I was a little hustler. I had my own business buying and selling quads off Craigslist. Ever since then I have been figuring out gigs for income to support myself. The drive to be successful is through the roof. Any help would really be appreciated. I feel as if I have something special to offer. Thanks again for your time ... [link] [comments]  |
| [Discussion] So I tested my portfolio diversification through a correlation test. Posted: 09 Dec 2017 07:16 AM PST Canadian newbie investor here hoping to have a friendly discussion to see whether my logic is correct When I moved to ETFs earlier this year, I followed a general guideline for young investors: 80% equities and 20% bonds (10% long term, 10% intermediate-term). What I bought: * VEE - Emerging Markets * VIU - Developed Markets * XUU - USA * XLB - Long-term Provincial Bonds * ZLC - Long-term Corporate Bonds * ZMP - Inter-term Provincial Bonds * ZCM - Inter-term Corporate Bonds Canada has provinces instead of states Recently I came across an youtube video about correlation and diversification. For those who are not familiar, correlation is an area of math where it tests for relationship between two things. It is a value that is somewhere between -1 to 1. If the value is negative, then two assets move in the opposite direction. If it's positive, they move in the same direction. A value of 0 would mean the two assets have no relationship with each other. With this mind, investors should aim for assets that negatively correlated to each other. When you rebalance, one or more of your asset will be bound to be underperforming, and you get sell high and buy low. I pulled the prices for each of my holdings (Dec 8 2015 to Dec 8 2017, only 2 years because VIU is that new) and used Excel to test for correlation, here are the results. On the equities side, Developed and Emerging Markets are highly correlated to the health of the American market (not really a surprise here as people often say when America sneezes, the world catches the cold.) On the bonds side, only my government bonds have a negative correlation to equities. Inter-term corp bonds are doing their thing, not much relationship with the equity market. Long-term corp bonds surprisingly have a high correlation. Out of curiousity, I tested a short-term government bond (BXF) and a blend bond etf (ZAG). BXF achieved the lowest correlation value of -0.72. ZAG has -0.56. I am now thinking of redoing my portfolio, using only USA, and a short-term government bond ETF. Which is what Warren Buffet's advice to his wife when he passes away, lol, what a coincidence. Has someone done something similar? Am I misinterpreting/misusing correlation here? Where does returns fit in all of this? [link] [comments]  |
