    OK, who twisted Dave Ramsey's tits again over index fund investing?

    Posted: 04 Jan 2018 08:06 PM PST

    Caught Dave's show today and he ranted about how his mutual funds average something like 12% or 13% annually and if you want to be an average loser then go with index funds. He is really trying to push his endorsed local financial advisors vis a vis loaded mutual funds, isn't he?

    It is recommended that people in their 20's keep 10% of their portfolio in bonds, but what bonds specifically?

    Posted: 05 Jan 2018 01:27 AM PST

    There is a lot of discussion on the equity portion of the portfolio, but a lot less regarding the bond side. What types of bonds should be considered to make up the other part of one's portfolio? Are bond funds acceptable? What about higher-risk bond funds, like investment grade corporate bonds?

    Edit: I am also interested in explanations about bonds separate from financial advice about bond allocation in my 20's. What kind of bond funds do you own, how and why did you choose them, etc.

    Am I an idiot for selling all my cryptocurrencies at a loss a year ago?

    Posted: 04 Jan 2018 11:11 PM PST

    Gave up gains of 2000% due to feeling like crypto was never going to recover from its 2015 highs and selling. Today I read that the ripple founder is the richest man on the world, which I find absurd.

    This month has been difficult watching the meteoric rise of all cryptocurrencies. Today again I felt like a fool for liquidating early. While I still think they're a ridiculous bubble part of me is kicking myself for missing out.

    How come (from my experience) only some stocks are available for after hours trading for a seemingly random amount of time?

    Buying weekly puts as insurance

    Posted: 04 Jan 2018 08:43 PM PST

    Just want to know what you guys think of this plan. I want to use put options as insurance, but insuring year round becomes very expensive. I realized most of my major losses came from bad earnings reports, so why not buy weekly puts to protect downside just before earnings release? They seem to cost next to nothing compared to the investment in common stock, and could be well worth the money if the stock dips hard. I plan on buying these before every quarter release.

    This obviously does not protect against a broad market crash, but I view that as an opportunity to average down if fundamentals are still solid and am therefore okay with a temporary drawdown. If there is something fundamentally wrong with the company, the option gives you a exit strategy without losing half your initial investment. They are also so cheap that it does not matter if they expire worthless.

    I don't wish to wake up to 30% overnight losses anymore due to bad earnings and guidance and think this strategy could help for companies with option chains. Please let me know if you guys have tried this or see something I currently do not about the strategy.

    Why is natural gas down?

    Posted: 04 Jan 2018 02:52 PM PST

    Seems like supply is about to tighten up and demand is about to skyrocket with the cold winters (gas production taken offline in Dakotas due to extreme weather) - yet natural gas stocks plunged today... what gives?

    Why is it that today, all cannabis industry stocks are going down?

    Posted: 04 Jan 2018 07:07 AM PST

    I mean, is there a reason for it, something I can learn... I know it will go back up at some point, it will be a bumpy ride up... but why today, why is it going down today while it was going up yesterday?

    Daily advice thread. All questions about your personal situation should be asked here

    Posted: 05 Jan 2018 04:05 AM PST

    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.

    Be aware that these answers are just opinions of Redditors and should be used as a starting point for your research. You should strongly consider seeing a registered financial rep before making any financial decisions!

    invest in many stocks vs index investment?

    Posted: 05 Jan 2018 03:56 AM PST

    I wonder what your attitude about what is best of the 2 things. I buy many different shares and therefore no changes to the funds. Or whether it's best to pay the costs of a fund?

    Jeremy Grantham: Bracing Yourself for a Possible Near-Term Melt-Up

    Posted: 04 Jan 2018 06:44 PM PST

    What questions should I ask for in an initial consultation with a Broker/Financial Advisor?

    Posted: 04 Jan 2018 07:42 PM PST

    For context, I just got a really good paying job and I want to start investing some of the extra money instead of just leaving it all in a savings account. One of my friends recommended a finance adviser she knows to get me started. I tend to be skeptical when friends try to get involved, but talking is free so I said I would hear him out.

    Edit: The adviser is from Northwestern Mutual if that matters

    I know some of the basic questions that I saw in the sidebar such as asking if they are CFP, but I wanted to get a broader sense of what I should look for.

    Why is it important for a company to do well in the public markets? Haven't they already raised the capital with the IPO?

    There's a government crackdown over elections going on in Cambodia that can result in huge implications in SE Asia.

    Posted: 05 Jan 2018 02:19 AM PST

    What should we do if Cambodia goes into a full blown civil war in the short term, dragging the violence (ceasing of commerce) into Vietnam and Thailand?

    There are a lot of industries that rely on the cheap labor of those countries alone

    Real talk - Intel / AMD / ARM

    Posted: 04 Jan 2018 01:22 PM PST

    Intel is on record saying that this is an industry wide issue. AMD has said there is "near zero impact".

    Clearly, someone is not telling the truth. Is Intel playing damage control and not actually admitting this is only Intel chips? Or is AMD simply not 100% certain on the implication and took this opportunity to try and get market share (so far, stocks prices are way in AMD's favor).

    Does anyone here have FACTS, besides just the typical Intel bashing. The only FACTS I have, is that in the conference call that Intel had last night, stated this is an industry wide issue and that the research group contacted Intel with AMD and ARM about these issues. Granted, Intel has the biggest exposure and the most to lose so they'll try and downplay it... but by saying "Industry wide" isn't the implying that AMD and ARM are affected too? One analyst asked the question if this impacts other companies and the response was "You have to go and ask them yourself"

    If this exploit happens at AMD, there are a lot of cheap puts on AMD out there. Then again I haven't looked at IV so I could be talking out of my ass here....

    Need input re: savings vehicles for children

    Posted: 04 Jan 2018 09:46 PM PST

    When I was a kid, my parents tossed my cash presents (from birthdays, etc) into a vanilla savings account. Interest rates were much better in the 80's, so that wasn't a terrible play. These days interest rates on most savings accounts are quite low, so I'm playing around with possibilities and want input.

    My kids are 6mo, 3yo and 5 yo.

    Here is what I'm currently doing: I'm keeping a ledger of the gift amount and date it was received, but simply tossing the money into my own brokerage account. My plan is to do excel-fu later on and provide them a fair interest rate based on market performance and the date of "deposit". My wife and I are in our mid-thirties, both employed with low six figure jobs with good benefits, are moderately aggressive in our investments and max our tax-advantaged retirement plans. I'm not worried about us "not following through" on paying out.

    While I think it is likely this money will go toward college or something else big, I don't want to lock it into a 529. We are already contributing to those ourselves.

    At some point, I do plan on splitting this money out and setting my kids up with their own accounts and that is where I need input.

    1: Are there tax liabilities for giving the kids THEIR money, that I kept in my accounts?

    2: What child savings vehicles are out there that have no minimum or regular deposit requirements that actually give a return worth looking at? CDs and Bonds seem like chump change.

    3: At what age should I make my children more aware of this process? Right now, the five year old knows his money is going into the bank of mommy and daddy and I've actually set up pivot tables so he can look at his deposit history and current balance. I give him receipts when he deposits and he saves those receipts - but he still as no concept of the value of money.
