Posted: 29 Jan 2018 04:05 AM PST We encourage all our visitors to ask those investing related questions they were always too afraid to ask. The members of /r/investing are here to answer and educate! NOTE If your question is "I have $10,000, what do I do?" or anything similar. There is no single answer to this question, but we will also need A LOT MORE information if we are to give some sort of answer How old are you? Are you employed/making income? How much? What are your objectives with this money? (buy a house? Retirement savings?) What is your risk tolerance? (Do you mind risking it at blackjack or do you need to know its 100% safe?) What are you current holdings? (Do you already have exposure to specific funds and sectors?) Any other assets? House paid off? Cars? Expensive girlfriend? (not really an asset) What is your time horizon? Do you need this money next month? Next 20yrs? Any big debts? Any other relevant financial information will be useful to give you a proper answer.

U.S. consumer spending rises; savings drop to 10-year low Posted: 29 Jan 2018 09:29 AM PST https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-economy-spending/u-s-consumer-spending-rises-savings-drop-to-10-year-low-idUSKBN1FI1NJ I thought the decrease of consumer savings was interesting and I'm curious to see what the coming year holds, especially as the income tax changes go into effect. submitted by /u/gregoriousginge [link] [comments]

Dow drops more than 170 points on rising rate fears in biggest decline of the year so far Posted: 29 Jan 2018 01:19 PM PST https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/29/us-stocks-interest-rates-earnings.html I personally think that the bond rate will correct soon, so nothing to worry about. A part of me, however, is slightly worried about this. With all of the baby boomers now reaching retirement age, more will be seeking to roll over their stocks into (much safer) bonds. If the 10 year bond yield does exceed 3%, I believe that it would be enough of an excuse for the boomers to start rolling more money over. And the thing is, baby boomers have A LOT in the market. However, a correction is due in order to stay healthy. I expect that one will occur, and the extreme growth will slow. What do you guys think? submitted by /u/tannerkubarek [link] [comments]

Now that Capital One Investing (COI) is moving to Etrade, what's the best alternative broker to COI? Posted: 30 Jan 2018 03:39 AM PST If the purpose for choosing Capital One Investing was to have automatic purchases of stocks, coupled with automatic dividend reinvesting and a very low cost, what's the best brokerage alternative? Does any other broker offer the same 'advantage' plan that COI does - where you could invest into 12 stocks for $12 a month, effectively costing you $1 per trade for the stock? submitted by /u/DividendPortfolio [link] [comments]

Any “free lunches” for accredited investors? Posted: 29 Jan 2018 05:04 PM PST With the markets continually hitting ATH's regularly I'm guessing that there are more and more "accredited investors" out there. Realistically, does reaching that milestone open up any no-brainer investment options not available to non-accredited investors? Or should regular folks who have become accredited simply stick to what has worked for them and stay the course? submitted by /u/RandomGenericUserID [link] [comments]

Foreign Exchange Hedging Problem Posted: 29 Jan 2018 04:04 PM PST Hey there r/investing, I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I have an interesting situation. I have a professor who has about 70,000 euros in bills to pay in April, and he is currently losing money because the euro is going up relative to the dollar (at the time of his investment, the exchange rate was $1.18 dollars/euro, at the time of writing this it is now $1.24 dollars/euro). He tasked me with hedging his investment, and has given me access to his cash account. He told me that he wants me to find something that acts like a 3x leveraged option that tracks the euro, and invest $5,000 into it. That way, if the euro continues to go up, the $5000 investment will yield a high return, and if the euro comes back down, he will lose the $5000 investment but his initial investment will yield a greater return. I know that you normally can't buy options on leverage; do any of you have suggestions on how to find something that acts like a 3x leveraged option on the euro? submitted by /u/klumpbin [link] [comments]

VMware May Acquire Dell in Reverse Merger Posted: 29 Jan 2018 09:44 AM PST https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-01-29/vmware-plunges-on-report-it-may-acquire-dell-in-reverse-merger VMware, which was absorbed by Dell in its $67 billion acquisition of EMC Corp., could now turn around and buy Dell, CNBC reported, citing unidentified people familiar with the matter. In a reverse merger, VMware would issue shares to Dell's private owners, which could then sell the stock on the public market, giving them a way to profit from having taken Dell private in 2013 and to help pay off some of its $50 billion in debt, CNBC said. A few days ago, Dell considered going public again in order to pay off debts from acquiring EMC. I guess this is one way of going public. submitted by /u/COMPUTER1313 [link] [comments]

Investing with "House Money" Posted: 29 Jan 2018 05:52 AM PST Prompt from Barrons: Most people have had the experience, at one time or another, of playing with the "house money" at a casino. You've won a few dollars gambling, and now you're feeling expansive with your winnings because, psychologically, it doesn't feel like it's your money to lose. It's house money. Such thinking might be behind why the market seems so resilient over the past year, with investors ready to pounce whenever stocks retreat. Scientific studies in behavioral finance and concepts like "prospect theory" are useful here, says Nicholas Colas , co-founder of DataTrek. The idea is that human psychology treats gains and losses very differently: A loss of $100 hurts much more than a gain of the same amount feels good. This goes against much of classical economic thought, he adds, which assumes marginal gains and losses weigh equally on the human psyche and do not affect future decisions. But they seem to, and it also is probably a good fit for the current market where investors buy any dip consistently, Colas adds. This second-longest bull market has effectively conditioned investors, most sitting on big gains, to bucket their "winnings" into "their money" and "house money." Forgotten are the awful bear markets of 2008-09 and 2000-02. The literature suggests, Colas says, that people are more willing to take risks with house money, especially in small incremental bets, than their own money. Hence, if the market should dip a few percent, investors with big gains feel more secure in buying that dip. That is, they are betting with house money. This pertains more to retail investors, but it clearly seeps over to professionals as well, he avers. Faith-based action is a lot easier to take when you are already sitting on a lot of gains. Hence, with the market up about 40% over the past two years, the index hasn't dropped in a big way over that time. Low volatility plus steadily rising markets made that possible. The psychology behind such behavior, Colas says, is that it's less scary to buy the dips because the investor is using "someone else's money," but that's not the case, of course. Once the money is in your pocket, it is yours, and all future decisions should resemble those made with your capital. But humans are funny that way. What sort of market setback would shift investor perceptions back to "my money" from "house money"? In other words, would a 10% pullback spook the market enough to alter the "buy the dip" reflex loop, or do we need to see 20%? Or more? Market bears will say we're overdue for another such journey, but the tape respectfully disagrees. Absent a genuine and large-scale geopolitical shock that dents consumer confidence and sends stocks 10% lower over a week or less, "house money" rules will hold in 2018 for U.S. stocks, Colas says. Buying the dips dampens volatility and keeps prices rising. This will end at some point -- trees don't grow to the sky. But you don't want to bet against the "house" yet, he opines. (END) Dow Jones Newswires 01-29-18 0836ET Copyright (c) 2018 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. I suppose this confirms that people should try to keep emotions out of their investment strategy. What do you all think? In particular, do y'all feel different about margin than your own money? submitted by /u/mepcotterell [link] [comments]

Best way to trade stock in a non-US stock exchange or OTC stock? Posted: 29 Jan 2018 11:46 PM PST What is the best (cheapest) way to place a trade for a stock in an international exchange (HK for example)? What about OTC stock?

Bad time to hedge against correction with bonds? Posted: 29 Jan 2018 09:22 AM PST Novice investor here. With interest rates slowly climbing and people anticipating a correction it seems logical to increase bond holdings, correct? However the fed may increase rates relatively soon. Would this overall situation and possible rate increase reduce the 'safety' of bonds currently? submitted by /u/zeus-indy [link] [comments]

Bought a product that is Very illiquid Posted: 29 Jan 2018 10:43 AM PST Can't believe there is even a product listed on the LSE that has so few traders The product is AMUNDI EPRA NAREIT GLOBAL and i bought it because it was one of the few global REIT ETFs available in GBP from the LSE I asked the broker why the price hasn't updated in my account and they said it updates on trades. And sure enough on the LSE website i can still see my trade from a week ago under last 5 trades! Surely there are other people buying this? What do i have to worry about regarding this product since its so illiquid? submitted by /u/jjscruff [link] [comments]

Leading Indicators Thread Posted: 29 Jan 2018 09:25 AM PST I posted a similar thread over on /r/wsb, but I figure there would be more intelligent discussion over here. Over the past few weeks, I have started looking into the world of the stock market and have decided that leveraged ETFs are amazing, but require a reasonable market timing strategy. Thus, the need to discover leading market indicators that aren't wildly inaccurate like the LEI was necessary. Over the past weekend, I went rooting around for these indicators, and here's what I've found: Strongest Leading Indicator - Motor Vehicle Retail Sales: Heavy Weight Trucks: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/HTRUCKSSAAR Strong Leading Indicator - New Private Housing Units Authorized by Building Permits https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/PERMIT Somewhat Strong Leading Indicator - Civilian Unemployment Rate (unemployment flatlining or starting to rise) https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/UNRATE Okayish Leading Indicator - Hotel Stock Prices Decline (Marriot, Hilton, etc) My question to all of you is, have you found any more? If so, please consider providing links to graphs that clearly illustrate your trend. We could easily put together a leading market indicator index based on trends that aren't total garbage. submitted by /u/WilliamNyeTho [link] [comments]

Good treasury vehicles to hedge against inflation? Posted: 29 Jan 2018 09:34 PM PST Hello! I am a novice when it comes to hedging with treasuries. I was wondering if anyone could give an explanation of when short-term, medium-term, and long-term treasuries are prudent to purchase and hold - especially in regard to hedging against dollar inflation over differing timescales? Additionally, I was wondering what treasury funds you recommend I buy to decrease the volatility of my portfolio in the event of rapid inflation? My main brokerage account is with Vanguard. submitted by /u/Beware_of_Snakes [link] [comments]

AAPL. iPhone X sales and earnings? Posted: 29 Jan 2018 09:16 PM PST I know this is only one data point, but I don't think I actually know anyone that has purchased an iPhone X and I don't hear anyone talking about it. Are we in for a big earnings disappointment from AAPL? submitted by /u/shinsmax12 [link] [comments]
