Where do you go to find out WHY a stock is rising (or falling) quickly as it's happening? Posted: 28 Jan 2018 05:15 AM PST Hi all, I'm just looking for recommendations on good ways to find out why a stock may be rising quickly as it's happening. So, for example, if I see a stock in the morning going up sharply, where would you turn to first to figure out what news (or rumors) may be behind it? Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
How to invest with only $200 a month. Posted: 28 Jan 2018 06:54 AM PST Hello everyone, I am new to investing and I just wanted to get an opinion on something. With my finances, I am only able to invest $100 out of my paycheck every two weeks. I have started a mutual fund, but I have a question on stocks. Should, I just continue to invest in my mutual fund? I want to invest in companies I know, but they are around that $100 share price. Should I find cheaper companies to invest in more shares or should I just buy one share at a time? [link] [comments] |
Can we expect a decent dip for BA after their lost case? Posted: 28 Jan 2018 11:26 AM PST Was planning on getting in soon - can we expect the recent news to hold them back for a while? Anyone else planning to add? [link] [comments] |
Tips on how to use Stocktwits and an informational user I follow Posted: 28 Jan 2018 01:12 PM PST Stocktwits is correctly called a cesspool by a lot of people, but it's also an r/stocks meme that gets parroted a lot. There are tons of zero follower pumper shills, bad traders, trolls, 100-200 follower pumpers and bashers etc. But it only takes a couple of days before you start to screen out all the junk automatically. My brain shuts out the 'buyout coming', 'contracts in a week', and the repetitive pump posts now and it only takes less than a minute to open a new tab and see if another user is legit or not. There are also slightly more subtle P&D tactics, a tricky one at first is the "INSIDER BOUGHT LAST MONTH! TO THE MOON" when they were code A acquisitions (a director was gifted x amount of stocks) and the insider didn't actually buy at open market, which is code P. You can always double check by going to fintel.com. If it's a code S (an insider sold), there will always be someone to fact check if it was a preplanned divestment or not. On the INTC board the Krzanich sale got argued/debated to dead horse territory with lots of slurs vs. here on reddit and the finance and tech sites it's a several weeks/couple months lag. So where is the real value? ST is ultimately a social platform but the real dialogue takes place off of it after you connect with someone. Two users following each other can dm each other and you can reach out and offer to exchange contact details (mostly discord), the worst that can happen when you reach out to someone is they just don't respond. Everyone is looking relentlessly for an edge, and finding likeminded people with the same goals is part of it. The most important thing about following ANYONE is that you still have to be your own trader/investor and know when to exit on your own. A year ago I thought pretty cynically that these guys don't post exits a lot of the time. But now I look at it another way: thousands of $$ are at stake, they're managing 2-3 day trades or 5 or 6 swingtrades at a time and it can get hectic if two runners are going at the same time. In the 30 seconds it takes to sell a stock at an intraday's top or the swing's top and to jump back onto ST and post that they've sold, the stock can already tank. Then if you're not following the action and you don't have the sell order already there with the cursor on submit/confirm, or maybe you hesitate after seeing a post, it's already two minutes into the panic selloff/profit-taking. If there's a circuitbreaker or halt, you are going to be paying 100% attention to your own trades. There's not enough time for handholding. It's the market, everyone's priority is to protect their own capital and make money for themselves 1st and foremost. With that said, I wanted to share an informational, non-technical user that I follow: https://stocktwits.com/HedgeMind - insider and institutional buys, the main 'follow the money' update source I've found. They're more geared to hedge fund and institutions. I used to follow https://stocktwits.com/cctranscripts/ideas - conference call transcripts and news releases. This one also does insider buys and sells, but a lot of them are just small sells by the odd director which creates a lot of noise. It's not a buy reason alone but you can check the board and see if bigger names pop up, look at the chart, check finviz and see what the company has been doing the last couple months, start the DD process. The two other functions I use Stocktwits for are to pick up watchlist candidates and keep track of the overall market. I think most of the users you should follow should be the traders/speculators so you have a pipeline of stocks to rotate into after one batch runs. I also follow a few guys who are good readers of the SPY, the bear/volatility ETFs, US Dollar Index etc to keep track of the economic background and market sentiment/price action. For example, in the week of Jan 15th with the government shutdown and SPY double-topping, I only made two trades, took a 2-3% loss for each, just waited it out. I didn't hedge but there were guys that didn't want to liquidate their positions, so they correctly timed picking up UVXY and then ended up green on a week most traders/investors were down or flat.

Thinking of investing in MYM.CN Posted: 28 Jan 2018 09:03 AM PST Anyone have extra insight/thoughts into this company. They're making moves and have big plans, but not many things set in stone. What do we think about these guys, worth the risk? [link] [comments] |
HMNY owns majority stake in Moviepass. What happens if Moviepass also goes public? Posted: 28 Jan 2018 02:12 PM PST I'm fairly new to investing in the stock market and want to know what usually happens when a public company that owns majority stake in another company, and that company goes public. Back in August, HMNY acquired majority stake in Moviepass. There are rumors Moviepass plans to have its own IPO. If that does happen, usually what happens to HMNY's stocks and their price?

Is entering the stock market at this point a good idea? Posted: 28 Jan 2018 01:49 PM PST I'm interested in investing some of my money into companies I support and can see grow even more in the next 4-5 years, but the market looks at an all time peak and many shares seem to be overvalued with insane price growth over very short time. Is it still worth investing in a company I expect to grow even when I think the current market is overvalued? Sorry if that sounds stupid I'm only a few days into my investments research.

Posted: 28 Jan 2018 01:29 PM PST Looking at open text long term. Good revenue growth, decent earnings despite lots of acquisition, PE isn't cheap but in line with growth stocks. They pay out a dividend and as somebody in tech I can say they are the big player in a lot of pillars they participate in. [link] [comments] |
when shorting a stock what if who you borrow off sells aswell Posted: 28 Jan 2018 07:13 AM PST Im struggling to figure out how shorting works. If you 'borrow' stock of someone, then sell it, then want to buy back at a lower cost to return to the owner for a profit why the hell would the owner still want a falling stock? Or what happens if you are waiting for prices to hit 60% less but the owner of the stock sees the stock bombing and wants to sell at 30%? Are you obliged to get it back to them? Bear with me as just learning [link] [comments] |
Where do I get information to do research? Posted: 28 Jan 2018 12:49 PM PST I'm fairly new to investing, and was just wondering if anyone had any specific method on how you zero in on a certain industry or company when going to do research on their financials? Should I be looking for news about promising start ups, or profitable industry sectors? New Government regulations, or new product launches? [link] [comments] |
Why do people buy shares when options trading is much more profitable? Posted: 28 Jan 2018 12:23 PM PST Help me understand, because the gains are astronomical on options trading [link] [comments] |
Liquidity issues overblown with low-volume ETFs? Posted: 28 Jan 2018 11:10 AM PST I've read about how ETFs are much more liquid than their average daily volume would suggest thanks to "Authorized Participants" (APs). Essentially, if there is a increased demand or supply, shares can be created or destroyed by APs in exchange for the underlying assets. So in theory if you place an order, you don't necessarily need to cross the spread in order for it to fill, you just need to cross NAV. However, such in-kind exchanges by APs are done in very large lots, so the ETF price could theoretically veer quite a bit from NAV before it makes sense for them to do such an exchange. Also, since APs essentially profit on the spread between SP and NAV, it's in their interest to let that spread grow as large as possible before cashing in on it. For example, XIV, despite being one of the most liquid ETFs, recently hit over 5% premium to NAV. So it doesn't seem particularly clear to me how to gauge the liquidity risk of ETFs, especially low volume ETF with liquid underlyings. Does anybody have any insight in how this actually all plays out? Specifically, I'm looking at a couple "hedged" strategic-style ETFs with like 15k-20k volume -- HTUS and DYLS. Since I'd probably hold these through a crash/recession, seems like I could just wait until the premium/discount is neutral or in my favor. Is there any reason why the low volume on these would pose a significant liquidity risk? Would I ever be stuck sacrificing my PvR to the spread? [link] [comments] |
$UPS before or after earnings? Posted: 28 Jan 2018 10:18 AM PST I currently own just five shares of UPS but am looking to add more. I like them as a long hold but have read that historically they dip post-earnings. I'd like to pick up another five to ten shares but should I grab them now or wait until sometime Thursday after earnings? [link] [comments] |
View into ETF holding and adding total shares Posted: 28 Jan 2018 10:16 AM PST Has anyone built a tool to calculate holdings within multiple ETFs and add with other ETF holdings? Want to take, for example, the S&P500 Index Etf (VOO) and calculate $ holdings of each ticker. Additionally, add in other ETFs with those same holdings, i.e VIG. since JNJ is in both, to add the % from each together to get total dollar value of each ticker. Hoping to get true allocation of capital across all ETFs and individual tickers. Had a rudimentary Excel sheet prior to Google Finance changing their UI. Has anyone else done this, and how are you calculating your data now? [link] [comments] |
Is it too late to jump on SHOP? Posted: 28 Jan 2018 10:10 AM PST They have been on the rise lately, been watching them since around $95 and the stock is trading right now at $129. Do you guys see Shopify going much higher? [link] [comments] |
Veering from weed to tech for diversification Posted: 28 Jan 2018 09:30 AM PST I've had a solid Marijuana portfolio since last April that has done extremely well. I'd like to get into some tech stocks, but don't won't to sell any "green chips" to fund them. I really want to invest in this ETN called $FNGU. Because it's potentially volatile, I probably won't hold it for very long. I need to come up with some quick gains for my next portfolio, which will be comprised entirely of artificial intelligence and blockchain ETFs for a longer term investment. That's my plan. Thoughts or suggestions? [link] [comments] |
