| Etf retirement portfolio or Pension Fund Posted: 24 Feb 2018 03:57 AM PST So, that's the question. I own an account with which I trade with stocks, options, currencies, etc. but I want to create another thing in order to save for retirement apart from my company private pension fund. So right now I'm doubting between creating an 'all weather' etf portfolio or investing in some funds/pension funds. My view of an all weather portfolio is aprox (FI is greater to compensate the greater volatility of stocks): -50% bonds -30% stocks -10% gold -10% commodities I would put around 2000-3000€ a year at the moment. So, what do you think? Is it a good idea? I'm doubting between those two ideas because the etf version would also help to be a saving to buy a house in the future if needed (paying 600€ of rent right now). [link] [comments]  |

One of the slides in the article shows GE dominating the older F-Class gas turbines, but Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems and Siemens taking the largest market share of the newer advanced turbines. I looked up about the "F-Class turbines", and came across this article from 2015 which talked about the newer classes overtaking the older F-class: http://www.power-eng.com/articles/print/volume-119/issue-8/features/the-fall-of-the-f-class-turbine.html
The F-class took off in 1987, and the newer turbines started to take off in 1990-2000s. The article from POWER Engineering said that the F-class turbines were being pushed out by increasingly more integrated electrical grids, which allows the newer turbine classes to run at a lower cost (and also allow more wind/solar generation to be built without causing massive volatility in the transmission systems). Continued from the Reuters article:
From my understanding, GE doubled down on gas turbines right as the power market started to stagnate, and seems to be having a harder time selling their newer advanced gas turbines compared to their competitors. I am currently researching why their competitors are selling more advanced class turbines than GE is, but that may take a while. EDIT: I am well aware of the wind/solar limitations, and that even with their rapid growth, most of their new generation capacity is being used to replace nuclear and hydro power plants that are being decommissioned. However, the electricity market is facing the challenges of reduced demand from better efficiency of various devices, such as lighting and appliances. That has resulted in electricity consumption stagnating even as the economy continues to grow. EDIT2: WSJ had an article that focused more on GE's management issues, which were likely the contributing factor to GE getting into this mess in the first place. https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-jeffrey-immelts-success-theater-masked-the-rot-at-ge-1519231067 [link] [comments]  |
| Question about commissions in Online Brokers Posted: 23 Feb 2018 11:30 PM PST Hello everyone. Let's say I open an account in Ameritrade or Fidelity doesn't really matter. The flat/per trade fee of 6.95$ or 4.95$ applies to every executed trade, regardless if the order does not fill at once due to system or liquidity reasons? For example, if I place a Buy 1,000 AAPL order to the Ameritrade and I buy these 1,000 shares in 4 blocks e.x. 100, 500, 30, 370 due to liquidity or smart routing etc, am I gonna pay 6.95$ or 4*6,95 $ ??

| Posted: 23 Feb 2018 10:19 PM PST Investing for long term dividend Everyone and their mother says buy coca cola, it's going no where, invest invest invest . After looking at it, it has good div. Return and affordable price so I can buy a decent amount for my portfolio, however after looking at sales it's just a downward slope over the past couple years. So my question is, Is it really a good investment for the next 10-15+ years? Do I need to worry about bankruptcy or are they just going through a slump right now? Thanks in advance [link] [comments]  |
| EXTREMELY Confused with P/E Ratio Calculations Posted: 23 Feb 2018 04:07 PM PST I'm trying to calculate the P/E ratio for FLIR Systems (FLIR US), however I keep seeing different p/e ratios from the bloomberg terminal, analyst reports and various websites. One of which is roughly 26-28 and the other being as high as 62. I believe one is using Actual GAAP EPS and the other EPS Adjusted. Which one should I use, and what is EPS Adjusted in the first place? Please help! [link] [comments]  |

| Before anything, should'nt you try to match the market? Posted: 23 Feb 2018 11:01 PM PST I thought of this when the thought of the idea of beating the market. According to pretty much everywhere on-line and my portfolio management class professor, beating the market is very possible, but after fees, transaction costs, and other things its hard. With that in mind, i'm starting to think your money is better invested trying to match the overall market (most likely through indexing) then looking to invest in individual stocks/etc. that you believe will do well. Does my train of thought make sense, am i possibly missing something? [link] [comments]  |
| What do you guys think of the InvestTalk podcast? Posted: 23 Feb 2018 11:40 AM PST Found this podcast on Spotify a couple months ago and enjoy the consistency. Anyone have any insight? They are value investors and take callers who ask about specific stocks so I like the perspective. Thoughts? [link] [comments]  |
| Advice on what to do with money Posted: 23 Feb 2018 09:11 PM PST Let's say a person has 100k extra money lying around. What are the best avenues of investing to pursue? I have considered buying a business outright; restaurant, car dealer, mechanic shop, etc, but don't want to just buy a full time job. I have considered partnering with someone to buy some land or a house, but at best you're looking at a monthly income of $1200 from the land you buy and subsequently rent. Upside of land is it's stable and a long term asset. Now I'm considering investing in equity stocks only, no bonds or interest yielding investments. I'm really interested in the electric and solar energy sector as I believe it's the future, things like Tesla and their charging stations are looking bright. What do you guys recommend? Personal success stories would really be beneficial. [link] [comments]  |
| Is $50,000 too much to keep in a money market account earning 1.40% APY? Posted: 23 Feb 2018 07:26 PM PST I've been adding to this account over the past year - about $15,000 of it is my EMERGENCY FUND and the rest I plan to use for a down payment on a house in the next 6 months to 2 years tops. I add about $1000 to the account every month. I have been told to keep emergency reserves in a liquid account so that isn't going anywhere; however, with the additional $35,000 (which I will continue to grow) is it recommended to keep that in a money market account if I plan on buying a house in the next two years at absolute most? Obviously a relatively short time horizon. I also have long term investments in stock index funds but will not touch that for 10+ Years, and bond rates are so low my house fund doesn't seem worth the extra risk and hassle. Thanks for the help friends. [link] [comments]  |
| Why not use both fundamental and technical analysis? Posted: 23 Feb 2018 06:54 PM PST Newbie question: Why is there such a divide between fundamental and technical analysis? Why doesn't everyone use both? Wouldn't that give a person a better idea on how a stock is performing? [link] [comments]  |
| Which brokerage do you use and why? Posted: 23 Feb 2018 06:54 PM PST |
| Posted: 23 Feb 2018 06:52 PM PST I'm reading through a company's recent 10-k and I found this passage. I cant find much information on capped calls but my understanding is that these convertible notes have a valuation cap of $86.28. Which means if the share price is above this then the company will lose money if investors exercised their convertible notes. The company is also currently running an aggressive share buyback program. With all this information can I assume the company will not buyback shares above $86 or because of the capped calls can the price go up to $120.79 before the company will lose money? "In February 2014, in connection with the issuance of Convertible Notes, we paid approximately $123.8 million to enter into capped call transactions with respect to our common shares, or the Capped Call Transactions, with certain financial institutions. The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion of the Convertible Notes in the event that the market price of the common shares is greater than the strike price of the Capped Call Transactions, initially set at $86.28 per common share, with such reduction of potential dilution subject to a cap based on the cap price initially set at $120.79 per common share."

| Posted: 23 Feb 2018 08:53 AM PST I was wondering if there is ever a smart time to not reinvest the dividend payouts into that same company. Here is my particular example in question. I own shares of MMM which are currently trading around $235. MMM has a dividend yield of 2.3% I also own other stocks that are much cheaper like F or T. For example, T trades around $35 currently, but has a dividend yield of 5%. My question is this. Should I take the larger dividend payouts from MMM and use that to buy more shares of T, or keep reinvesting them back into MMM and only buy small fractions of MMM? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
