    Anyone buy a franchise having very little?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2018 08:11 PM PST

    Is it possible to get a small food franchise or something with great credit and about 90k married gross income? Do you recommend it or should I just invest my money somewhere?

    Scottrade -> TD Ameritrade

    Posted: 25 Feb 2018 10:29 PM PST

    I don't have much to say I just felt like venting and this seemed the appropriate place. I have traded with scottrade for maybe ten years and have never had problems. They were always helpful when I had questions and I liked their mobile app. Well I finally got logged in to the TD Ameritrade app, since I think tomorrow is the first day scottrade will be officially done, and everything is significantly different and I'm annoyed. Anyone else?

    Is there any way for the average investor to get decent industry insights without having to pay thousands of dollars (or at least for a reasonable price) for research?

    Construction sand shortage

    Posted: 25 Feb 2018 01:29 PM PST

    There seems to be a shortage on construction sand at the moment. The problem is, that desert sand is to round to make good concrete. I could imagine this becoming a problem in the long run, especially if a construction boom should start in Africa. From what I hear some Arab countries are just gathering ocean floor. Are there other approaches to solving this problem? Some lightweightconstruction maybe? Are there any companies better equipped to handle this than others?

    Has any one here looked into this?

    Time to pull the plug on GEX?

    Posted: 26 Feb 2018 02:27 AM PST

    When I first started investing 5 years ago, since I'm a lazy prick and didn't want to research individual companies, I bought ETFs of sectors I thought were good long-term bets. General economy (VTI/VOO), tech (PNQI), and alternative energy (GEX). Happy with the first two, but 5 years in GEX has an annualized return of only 1.6%.

    I'm a buy-and-hold investor I generally plan on holding everything for 20-30+ years, but does that paltry gain over such a bull market mean it's time to cut my losses and reinvest that money elsewhere? Or is this just the hard part of holding and I should just keep my head down for another few decades? I'm happy to sit tight, but I feel like I might be making an error of omission.

    It was ~30% of my invested assets when I started, but it's now down to only 4-5% of my portfolio, due to gains and further investments in other areas.

    Oh gurus random internet strangers, please share your wisdom with me.

    Broker of choice by country.

    Posted: 26 Feb 2018 01:55 AM PST

    I usually see threads asking about the cheapest broker. The answer is always robinhood which is only in the US.

    Come and share which broker you use, which country you're from and why you use said broker.

    Im sure we'll get a lot of the cheapest option for each country but im also curious to see the which brokers are more expensive but worth the price (and waiting with baited breath to see some good australian options)

    How can $TLT go higher in a rising interest rate environment?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2018 06:17 PM PST

    My understanding is that $TLT is a 20+ year treasury ETF.

    If interest rates will now continue rising from historic lows — what are the conditions that would make TLT continue to rise?

    Won't higher interest rates result in a lower TLT value, unless the bond curve inverts?

    Thanks in advance.

    Berkshire holdings vs. holding Berkshire?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2018 05:10 AM PST

    I was looking at the annual report and realized a lot of the stocks with lower % of my holdings are also Berkshire. Combined these stocks make up 5% of my portfolio (very small holdings)

    • KHC
    • PSX
    • KO
    • CHTR

    Does it make more sense to sell them and get a larger stake in Berkshire?

    Any thoughts/recommendations are welcome.

    Guide to UK Gilt

    Posted: 25 Feb 2018 04:18 PM PST

    I have done a fair bit of reading in the past year and I would like to start passively investing in UK gilts to get my toes wet.

    Following the news, I am under the impression that there will be a rate rise soon in the UK by the central bank which means it is the perfect time for me to get into bonds. Is there any up-to-date guide on purchasing UK gilts as a UK non-resident? Additionally what are the tax implications as a foreign investor? Also the different broker fees/commissions etc. Some actual concrete numbers would be very helpful.

    Inflation mutual funds.

    Posted: 25 Feb 2018 03:22 PM PST

    • Losing money with friends.

    Greetings fellow investment gurus and goons.

    Can you invest in a inflation protected corporate bond mutual fund in the same way TIPS work? Furthermore, international ones?

    If so, can anyone point out any cheap examples?

    I was wondering if you could tell me what adjustments to earnings do you make to find the 'true' earnings. Adjustments besides the dilution of stock options. Thank You.

    Can investing in short term US treasury bills be a very profitable strategy?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2018 04:01 PM PST

    I just realized today that the yield of a 1 month US treasury bill is almost 1.4%. I know this value fluctuates and has been much lower, but anything over 1% compounding interest (assuming you reinvest what you make) with a lot of money over a decent period of time can really add up. Why would you buy anything longer term? Is this something that anybody does? I've never heard of anyone buying short term bills over and over. It just seems too easy.

    Pros and cons of carmaker industry right now?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2018 06:54 AM PST

    I was looking for a great car maker company, and I saw one that looks quite good, Daimler AG.

    By the numbers, I like the company, by their fundamentals I also like it (holded by big car makers such as Geely (possible buyout in the future?), giving it a great shot at the chinese market, great R&D investment effort and hitting hard the electric segment in the close future. I also love the brand itself and I think that the segment of customers that buy those cars are going to perform better a crisis. That would be better in a luxury carmaker such as ferrari or lambo, but daimler has a wider segment).

    The thing is, that I'm not sure that buying it right now should be a great idea, I mean, imho we are in the last 2y of the economic cycle, and being this industry cyclical, maybe is not a great idea to enter right now. But I'm considering opening a small position and buy more shares once the cycle ends.

    I still have to take a deep look at the company in order to see their strategy and know the why to their negative FCF.
