| Posted: 02 Feb 2018 05:59 AM PST Hello everyone! Im a crypto trader here in his first steps on that sector. Although i started in crypto (and i genuine believe that's the place where i'll make at least my initial starting cash), i came to the conclusion that i enjoy so much doing it that couldn't care less if i was trading money, corn cobs or plain ole' dirt as long as the proccess itself remained the same. So in short, i like this. I plan to put effort on this and im asking anyone willing to point me to any free educational sources they think are worthwhile. TradingView and ChatwithTraders in youtube is what i use. Thanks all! [link] [comments]  | ||

| Apple has $163 billion to burn, and Tim Cook plans to spend it Posted: 02 Feb 2018 03:31 AM PST That's a lot of cash to spend on buybacks, capital expenditures, and potentially a few acquisitions SHARE Home Industries Computers/Electronics Apple has $163 billion to burn, and Tim Cook plans to spend it By Emily Bary Published: Feb 1, 2018 9:21 p.m. ET SHARE That's a lot of cash to spend on buybacks, capital expenditures, and potentially a few acquisitions MarketWatch photo illustration/Getty Images, iStockphoto Apple Inc. left things vague last month when it announced a plan to invest money from its sizable cash balance into the U.S. economy, but the company was more direct about its plans Thursday — it's going to spend more than $160 billion of its own money. "Our current net cash position is $163 billion, and given the increased financial and operational flexibility from the access to our foreign cash, we are targeting to become approximately net-cash neutral over time," Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri said on the company's earnings call. Translated from corporate speak, that means Apple AAPL, +0.70% plans to spend that $163 billion and eventually stop collecting huge stores of cash as it has over the past decade, when the company built up about $284 billion in cash reserves while using more than $100 billion in debt to fund shareholder returns and other activities. Pressed to elaborate on what "over time" actually meant, Maestri said Apple would say more in its next quarterly report, when the company typically updates its shareholder-return plans. The bulk of that money will likely head right back to investors. The company added $50 billion to its shareholder-return plan last year for buybacks and dividends, increasing its program to about $300 billion, and announced a $50 billion increase the year before, as well. Maestri said the company typically returns approximately 100% of its free cash flow to investors, "so that is the approach that we're going to be taking." If Apple decided to double its typical annual increase this spring, however, the company would still have $63 billion in net cash left to spend. There are a number of different ways that the company could use this money. Apple said in its January announcement that it would invest "over $10 billion" in data-center expansions. The company also set out to build a new campus and "create" 20,000 jobs — though it didn't actually say whether it would hire 20,000 full-time Apple employees. Apple could also spend some of its net-cash balance to scoop up other companies. Speaking to this point on Apple's earnings call, Maestri implied that Apple wasn't looking to change its strategy around acquisitions. "The thought process is always to acquire something that allows us to either accelerate our product road maps, filling a gap in our portfolio, [or] providing a new experience to customers," he said, adding that Apple looks "at all sizes and we will continue to do so." Apple made 19 acquisitions in 2017, Maestri noted, but all are thought to be smaller purchases, which has been Apple's typical approach. The company's largest acquisition to date has been Beats, which it purchased for $3 billion back in 2014. Some have speculated that Apple might make a splashy move, buying Netflix Inc. NFLX, -1.04% or Walt Disney Co. DIS, +1.67% . Those are well out of the company's price range even if it only increases shareholder return by $50 billion, though, with market values of $115 billion and $167 billion, respectively, and that's before factoring in the likely hefty premium one would have to pay to buy one of these giants. Apple will probably think smaller with its cash, looking for tuck-in acquisitions that add talent and give the company a base on which to build future product enhancements. Investors hungry for a piece of that cash sent shares up more than 3% in late trading Thursday. The stock was already up 30.3% over the past 12 months, compared with a 31.6% gain for the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.14% , of which Apple is a component.

| Recommendations on a big boy broker? Posted: 02 Feb 2018 05:48 AM PST I've been thinking about moving from RH to a big boy broker, which one do you guys recommend based on my situation?

Idk how much that limits me but I imagine its not insignificant. Thanks in advance for any advice you guys can offer :) [link] [comments]  | ||
| With Kazuo Hirai Out, Sony’s Entertainment Strategy Loses Its Biggest Champion Posted: 02 Feb 2018 11:43 AM PST Less than a month ago, Sony CEO Kazuo Hirai said he wanted to ensure his company was "in the driver's seat," one of the entertainment players able to buy, not be bought. He had once famously declared that there was no "For Sale" sign hanging on the water tower at the Sony Pictures Entertainment lot. On Friday, Hirai caught markets and Sony watchers by surprise with his decision to step down as CEO and into an advisory role as chairman beginning April 1. He will be replaced by Kenichiro Yoshida, currently Sony's CFO and internal head of strategy. Hirai's resignation means that Sony's entertainment assets are losing possibly their loudest and most powerful advocate within the company, and raises questions about their future in an era where consolidation, often on a colossal scale, is the trend of the day. Under Hirai, Sony had made an overture for some of Fox's assets before Disney produced a bigger bid; without him at the helm, the fate of Sony's own content businesses is uncertain. Yoshida, whom Hirai said he had personally recommended to succeed him, said his strategy as CEO would be broadly in line with that of his predecessor. The "vector of my approach" will be the same, but the expression of it will be different, Yoshida said Friday after Sony published its robust third-quarter earnings. But he offered no specifics. Tellingly, perhaps, he also made almost no reference to Sony's entertainment businesses, including its Picture Division, which groups together film, TV, music and games, and which recorded an operating profit last quarter after a period of heavy losses. His only nod to entertainment was to tout the creation of a new music label focusing on local talent, a deal signed earlier this week with China's Tencent. Instead, Yoshida emphasized the importance of the technology sector. "Market cap is not everything, but the top global companies now are all technology companies….Since Sony is a technology company, we feel a sense of crisis about that situation," he said, adding that he intends to manage the company "with the market cap in mind." Hirai has himself directed much of his attention to Sony's tech side, and leaves a legacy of tidying up its electronics business, exiting computers, and beefing up its semi-conductor business. With reinvested dividends and share price gains, investors have enjoyed a 226% return during Hirai's six-year tenure. But he was also a champion of Sony's entertainment side. After an internal review a couple of years ago, he came out swinging in favor of retaining Sony Pictures Entertainment, at a time when many in the film industry thought Sony no longer had the stomach for Hollywood. Hirai even took over as interim boss of SPE last year following the departure of Michael Lynton. Hirai said Friday that, as chairman, he would continue to advise Sony on matters, including entertainment. For Yoshida, who as CFO has taken hard-headed financial decisions and implemented painful cuts, it may come down to a matter of scale. Sony Corp. currently weighs in with a valuation of $62 billion – small compared to the likes of a combined Disney-Fox, Time-Warner, Comcast and Viacom. Sony is even punier beside the new-media companies that will shape the next decade: Apple ($861 billion), Google ($816 billion), Amazon ($669 billion), Facebook ($561 billion), Tencent ($553 billion), and Alibaba ($492 billion). The fact that Sony's Picture Division has returned to modest profitability could be used as an argument both for keeping and for unloading it. The success of "Jumanji: Return to the Jungle" means that Sony Pictures Entertainment has a healthy new franchise on its hands on top of some other recent hits. Equally, however, getting back in the black makes SPE easier to sell – to someone like Rupert Murdoch, for example. More so than their Western competitors, many Asian companies continue to espouse the virtues of a conglomerate structure, and to believe in having hardware and software under a single roof. Hirai appeared to believe in that path for Sony, and favored maintaining its entertainment assets as well as its tech ones. Now it is Yoshida who will likely make the decision whether to sell or to bulk up Sony's film, TV and music operations. Analysts say he might have other things to worry about first, such as the possible sales of Sony's phone handset business, its home entertainment and audio consumer goods businesses, and its stakes in Sony Financial and Olympus cameras. If those happen, Sony would have the cash for more acquisitions, including in the entertainment sphere. Whether it has the appetite is another question. Article by Variety (Variety.com) Link (Source): http://variety.com/2018/biz/news/kazuo-hirai-sony-entertainment-strategy-loses-biggest-champion-1202685374/ Note: If Sony want to sell their entertainment assets- TV, Film, Music, et.al- they can get a lot of money from suitors like Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Comcast, Verizon and more. If AT&T (which co-own GSN with them is not involved) then I can see Apple or Verizon winning any bid. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Dow and S&P 500 point changes by stock Posted: 02 Feb 2018 07:05 AM PST For the love of all that's good, I can't find this website. I saw a website a little while ago that presented a list of stocks in the Dow or S&P 500, and how many points that stock contributed to the index's daily increase or decrease in points. Anybody know what website this was? With the market being down so much, I'm trying to get a sense of how much of this is just google and exxon, vs the market as a whole. The visuals over at finviz.com are OK, but I would prefer the point breakdown. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Why Apple and Netflix Would Make a Perfect Marriage (Guest Column) Posted: 02 Feb 2018 08:23 AM PST The first trillion-dollar company? There's sound business sense behind the tech giant swinging for the fences and buying the streaming platform, writes an analyst and shareholder. Apple is the most dynamic and profitable consumer products company in the world, and Netflix is the most innovative entertainment company. If they got together, the combined entity would be an even bigger juggernaut. The idea of Apple acquiring Netflix has taken on new heat as the former prepares to repatriate up to roughly $245 billion in overseas cash thanks to the new U.S. tax policy. Wall Street has made good arguments for Apple's rationale for the deal: Apple could get immediate scale in premium video, increase its high-multiple services revenue, become less dependent on the iPhone, reduce its exposure to the mercurial Chinese market and guarantee that Netflix does not fall into the hands of archrivals Google or Amazon. All of these arguments are persuasive. Allow me to offer two more reasons that are rarely discussed: First, by acquiring Netflix, Apple would hand consumers around the world a giant win. As the linear television model breaks down, people are increasingly forced to pay for and navigate a hodgepodge of different digital content services. Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, HBO Now, CBS All Access — these create complexity and aggravation. People want their entertainment experiences to be simple and fun, not time-consuming and frustrating. Apple has the resources to dramatically expand the variety of Netflix's content offering, thereby allowing Netflix to meet the entertainment needs of more consumers. More people could find more of what they want to watch on Netflix without having to search through a litany of other apps. With Apple's $268.7 billion in cash on hand, Netflix could compete for sports rights, nonscripted event programming and a wider variety of films and TV shows. Not only would Apple turbocharge the worldwide penetration of Netflix's global subscriber base and build a library of long-tail intellectual property assets, it would become beloved by consumers for delivering an elegant, easy and comprehensive entertainment solution. The second reason for Apple to acquire Netflix can be distilled into two words: Reed Hastings. In 1997, a $40 late fee from Blockbuster for Apollo 13 set Hastings' dexterous, brilliant mind spinning: There had to be a better way. Twenty years later, against great odds, he has transformed the global entertainment industry and built one of the most valuable companies on Earth. Executive talent of his caliber comes along once in a generation. By acquiring Netflix, Apple would get Hastings, the equivalent of signing Muhammad Ali to fight for your team. Turning Hastings loose inside Apple, potentially as the next CEO, would be a lollapalooza for consumers and shareholders alike. Apple already is seeking to create shows for its own service, entering the scripted genre with plans to spend $1 billion in its first year. Hastings and his team could help provide the guidance Apple needs. An Apple-Netflix marriage may be a fantasy dreamed up by the media, hyped by bankers and indulged by doe-eyed shareholders like myself. But great stories never die; maybe the end of this one has yet to be written.

| Feb-02-2018: Market Recap and Next Day Review Posted: 02 Feb 2018 06:28 AM PST The markets continue to trade in a directionless manner as buying and selling activity is a bit muted at the moment. We still remain on a CAUTION BUY signal but very close to a SELL signal. While the majority of markets are currently oversold, it is definitely unclear whether the bottom is in yet. The $VIX remains above its 200 DMA and has backtested a very important level. What is this level and what could it mean for the markets ahead?
