| Amazon Is Now a $700 Billion Stock-Market Gorilla Posted: 31 Jan 2018 10:06 AM PST Amazon.com Inc. is pushing its weight around in the stock market. The e-commerce giant's rapid climb in recent years has only accelerated in 2018, pushing the company's market cap above $700 billion for the first time on Wednesday. That puts it in rarefied territory alongside Apple Inc., Alphabet Inc., and Microsoft Corp. Assuming the company finishes the session with a market cap above that milestone, it will have made the move in record time by multiple measures. The stock's 25% surge this month pushed the market value from $600 billion to $700 billion in just 16 trading sessions. The next fastest hops between $100 billion milestones for Amazon were the 135 sessions that it took to clear two separate hurdles: $300 billion in 2015 and $600 billion earlier this month, according to The Wall Street Journal's Market Data Group. And it's made the jump from $600 billion to $700 billion faster than any other company: Apple took 119 days, Alphabet took 372, and Microsoft took 4,548. The milestone is the latest sign of just how much weight Amazon has to throw around in the stock market. And recently it's been doing just that. On Tuesday, it sent health-care stocks tumbling after the firm, along with Berkshire Hathaway and JPMorgan Chase, said it is creating a company to figure out how to reduce health-care costs. The news was far from the only thing that pushed stocks down for their second consecutive session on Tuesday, but that certainly played a key role. The S&P 500 health-care sector fell 2.1% on the day, under-performing the broader index's 1.1% drop and making it the worst-performing sector. Shareholders of the healthcare giant UnitedHealth Group Inc, for example, took the news particularly hard, as the Journal's Morning MoneyBeat newsletter noted on Wednesday. The stock fell 4.4% on Tuesday, subtracting 74 points from the Dow Jones Industrial Average, or more than a fifth of the index's total decline. Amazon's foray into new industries has been known to derail entire stock market sectors from grocery stores to apparel makers. The market cap rise shows that Amazon and its technology-focused peers have ever-more influence in the broader stock market.

That's up from 1.7% at the end of January last year, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. Amazon's massive market value and its ability to impact other companies' results expose investors to the risk that any news from the tech giant has the ability to single-handedly determine the direction of large swaths of market, investors say. It comes at a time when stocks are already trading at a high level relative to earnings, and some investors are growing nervous about complacency in the market. Of course, shares of Amazon itself haven't been falling. Even as the broader stock market was reeling on Tuesday, Amazon shares rose 1.4% to a fresh record. On Wednesday, the shares were up another 1.5%, poised to set yet another new high.

| Posted: 31 Jan 2018 05:58 AM PST Many of you asked for a checklist that was similar to the stock checklist, but for ETFs. While stocks carry more idiosyncratic risk, Exchange Traded Funds are not riskless. They are essentially a tool for giving broad market access to the masses. They also help you get exposure to sectors or asset classes that you may be unable to otherwise. The popularity of indexing, though, has fed on itself and instead of thought, momentum has ruled the decade. I believe momentum and herd mentality are synonymous. In any case, below is an ETF checklist for those who would like to have a quick due diligence sheet to check off before they buy. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Yet another noob question...please forgive me. Posted: 31 Jan 2018 09:13 AM PST Hi all. I'm a 35 year old man who is looking to start investing. Now, let me be clear. I'm getting into this to make money. I don't care about trading. I don't care about excitement or flair. I care about security. I'm not saying no-risk, because I know this is a lot of risk, but I'm looking to start learning how this all works. Most of the resources I'm finding linked here and at r/stocks seem to be geared toward people that have a basic understanding of the stock market. Or, even more popular are resources about being a day trader. I really don't want any of that. I want something that can give me a primer. A beginners guide to stocks that assume the person studying doesn't have the first clue what they are doing. I've read enough to know that I want to invest heavily in ETFs, but I don't know what ETF stands for or why it's different from individual stocks. I hope that gives you an idea of how little I know! Video tutorials on YouTube or podcasts would be my preferred method of learning, but I'll take anything that you all believe would be important. Like, what would you give your teenager to get them to start learning about this? Thanks in advance for the help! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 31 Jan 2018 03:25 AM PST I've seen people who purchase and sell stocks the same day, how do they do that? How do they gather information at such a limited time and still manage to gain profit? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 31 Jan 2018 01:03 PM PST If apple beats earnings and gives good guidance, how long will it take before a price jump levels off? If they report underperforming earnings, how long will it take the drop to settle? I'm newer to this so I'm trying to get a feel for how the fall out from earnings usually goes for this stock. Thanks for any responses. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 31 Jan 2018 09:26 AM PST I want to invest in visa because the chart shows continuous growth. However, is it better to buy before or after earnings? I'm assuming they will beat earnings but so did McDonald's and they went down after earnings.... [link] [comments]  | ||
