    (Feb 1, 2018)

    Instead of worrying about the financial crisis, why not embrace the market and prepare for it. Many people make big bucks in the market by shorting the stocks. Let's start a discussion on the stock/ etf you would buy to Make money!

    Let me start:

    2) TMV - Another bear ETF, TMV works through short selling the 20 years+ treasury.

    Facebook is untouchable

    Posted: 01 Feb 2018 12:20 PM PST

    Facebook admitted in its fourth quarter earnings report Jan. 31 that users spent tens of millions of hours less with the social network each day. But that didn't stop the social media giant from posting yet another record-breaking quarter.

    The company reported 48% growth in revenue over the previous year's fourth quarter, generating $12.9 billion. Profit rose 20% to $4.27 billion from $3.57 billion. Facebook may have significantly beat analysts' revenue estimates, but the company's user growth slowed more than expected. Facebook signaled that the steps it's taking to revamp the News Feed are reducing the time people spend on the platform.

    While the results suggest that Facebook's business is as robust as ever, its stock price initially plummeted after the report. Facebook's daily user count, which analysts consider a crucial metric for the company's long-term health, fell short of expectations, totaling 1.4 billion, compared to estimates of 1.41 billion. But when Facebook began discussing its plan for the future of content on its site, Wall Street's view began to change.

    "2017 was a strong year for Facebook, but it was also a hard one," founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a release, glossing over myriad controversies the company has dealt with around fake news, metrics mistakes, and foreign entities meddling in elections during the year. "In 2018, we're focused on making sure Facebook isn't just fun to use, but also good for people's well-being and for society."

    Earlier this month, Facebook announced that it would be prioritizing posts from friends and family over content from brands and publishers, and that it expected user engagement to fall. Analysts tend to agree that while the move might cost the company in the short term, it's a good move looking forward.

    Zuckerberg said that, in the last quarter, the company's changes reduced time spent on Facebook by a whopping 50 million hours each day, in part by showing people fewer viral videos. "Helping people connect is more important than maximizing the time people spend on Facebook," he said on the earnings call.

    Facebook also added that the price of its ads has been increasing recently, meaning any loss in revenue from users spending less time on the site and seeing fewer ads should be offset by the more expensive ads.

    After initially dropping as much as 4.5% in after-hours trading, Facebook's stock price jolted back up when executives explained that the changes to the News Feed will likely not have any long-term effects on the company's guidance for 2018. Its stock was trading up 2.5% from its close at the time of publication.

    "News and video will always be an important part of Facebook," Zuckerberg added on the call.

    But there are still rocky roads ahead: Facebook is struggling to find new users as easily as it used to. The social network's monthly active users rose from 2.07 billion to 2.13 billion quarter-over-quarter—well over half the population of the world's internet users—but its user growth has slowed on an annual basis. Facebook's growth on its main site was 14.5% from a year earlier, compared with 16.9% in the same period last year.

    The US continues to be Facebook's main source of revenue, with the gap between Facebook's home market and others growing. However, daily active users fell in this money-making market.

    $400M Trade On $AAPL Today?!

    Posted: 01 Feb 2018 02:50 PM PST

    No longer diversifying, is this plan a good move?

    Posted: 01 Feb 2018 01:22 PM PST

    Im a college student who just invest my savings into the stock market to grow long term! Usually stay in the stock or Trust Fund until it doesn't do me any good anymore so really long term. I usually diversify and split up into 3 or 4 different stocks or trust funds but with the way Amazon is looking, should I sell everything and go all in on Amazon?! My reasoning is really just the way that Amazon is constantly evolving... they do just about everything now! Future I feel is very bright for them.... Thoughts? Concerns with my idea?

    Apple, Amazon, Alphabet: The race to a trillion dollars

    Posted: 01 Feb 2018 02:16 AM PST

    When it comes to predictions for 2018, most financial analysts agree on one thing: one tech firm is likely to become America's first ever trillion dollar company.

    The question is: which one will it be?

    On Thursday, we'll get a big clue as to who might hit that incredible milestone first, as the three biggest tech giants in the US release their latest results.

    Could it be Apple?

    That largely depends on its latest and supposedly greatest smartphone, the iPhone X.

    If sales are strong - and they'll need to be very strong - Apple's value will hurtle towards a trillion dollars in no time at all.

    With a higher price tag - $999 - the iPhone X wouldn't need to break sales records in order to draw record profits, and convince investors Apple still has the ability to bring innovation to its biggest product line by far.

    But there have been reports lately that suggested Apple could cut its production targets for the device by almost half. That's not what investors wanted to hear.

    Still, even if iPhone X sales are modest, the company is still expected to report revenue growth of more than 10%. That would put it nicely on track to hit a market value of $1tn by the end of the year.

    To increased synergies, and beyond But Amazon might get there first.

    Chief executive Jeff Bezos is now comfortably the world's richest man. The share price of his company rose by more than 50% in 2017.

    Most of that was fuelled by big growth in its cloud business - Amazon Web Services.

    But the company now also has Whole Foods in its portfolio. There is talk of "increased synergy opportunities" here - the overlap of Amazon tech and Whole Foods physical locations could be extremely lucrative. The opening of one concept retail store last month was enough to give shares a bounce. Surely just the beginning.

    What will probably hold Amazon's value back, however, is the rate at which it will spend money. It is expected to spend more than $4bn creating content for its Prime TV service as it continues to tussle with Netflix.

    There's continued investment to be made in its Alexa assistant. Last year, Amazon told us it had more than 5,000 people working on developing the technology, which is going toe-to-toe with Google's assistant system.

    And in an effort to bring quicker delivery of more stuff to more people, Amazon is also opening more fulfilment centres in markets all over the world.

    So that's a lot of spending - and that's before it starts building its second headquarters, wherever that may end up being. No wonder GBH Insight's Daniel Ives told Amazon investors they were looking at a period of "short-term pain" but "long-term gain".

    Alphabet's hardware play OK then, so what about Alphabet?

    The parent company of Google is expected to report overall revenues that are up by about 20% on this time last year. But, as ever, that's mostly from search advertising and YouTube, its big earners.

    If Alphabet is to get over that trillion-dollar mark, it'll need to boost income from areas other than advertising.

    Keep a close eye on how well its hardware is performing - the Pixel 2 phones came out last year, and there was a huge marketing push for its Google Home assistant.

    Did it work? When it comes to hardware, Alphabet isn't in the same league as Apple. But any promising signs there would have investors jumping for joy. So too would big gains in cloud computing - which is another thing analysts unanimously expect. Google's market dominance in artificial intelligence could be useful if it wants to close the gap on Amazon Web Services.

    As I write this, it's Apple, with a value of $860bn, which is closest to that $1tn mark. Amazon rests at just under $700bn, while Alphabet jostles at $817bn. Which one will make it past this phenomenal, symbolic milestone?

    You know, maybe they all will.

    Learning Tools

    Posted: 01 Feb 2018 05:40 AM PST

    What are some good articles to read and tools to use to learn more about the ideal spots to get in and out of a stock? I'm finding that when I find a good stock to buy into to, I often buy in too high. Furthermore, I'm uncertain if there's a good point to cut losses, and what the best point is to sell out to take a profit.

    Thank you!

    PYPL down -8% after Ebay drops them as payment provider

    Posted: 01 Feb 2018 06:39 AM PST

    Paypal was doing so well! I was just looking at the chart yesterday in awe of the impressive move.

    I do feel this is probably a good thing for Ebay, I dont know if this new payment provider will fix some of the issues, but so many people I know that sell stuff on Ebay get the short end of the stick when it comes to being scammed.

    Do you sell or buy on Ebay?

    Any horror stories related to Paypal?

    Is our current stock market be able to withstand a cryptocurrency breakdown?

    Posted: 01 Feb 2018 09:00 AM PST

    As many warnings has been raised about the risk of cryptocurrency, I have yet to see government takes serious actions to minimize the risk of a breakdown. The problem is, do you think if our current global stock market can withstand a cryptocurrency breakdown? Are we expected to see a chain reaction that will first devastate the housing market following with the stock market?
