| Posted: 28 Mar 2018 09:04 AM PDT It absolutely blows my mind, by all metrics this seems to be a company that if not already failing is at high risk of insolvency in the future. Any other POV on this would be great, I am just curious as to what the rational is for people who are continuing to buy into this company. [link] [comments]  |
| Why is Kraft-Heinz’s PE ratio at 7? Posted: 28 Mar 2018 06:00 PM PDT |
| Wells Fargo’s Forward PE is less than 10, and has a dividend greater than 3% Posted: 28 Mar 2018 03:01 PM PDT I bought 500 shares because it's a pretty number. Earnings are coming up in around 2 weeks, and the premium on calls is fairly low considering how volatile the market has been in both directions. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 29 Mar 2018 01:50 AM PDT I think it is virtually impossible to price a stock like JD. It is down a fair bit now. For those buying JD, what's your price? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Mar 2018 01:50 AM PDT Good evening all, I have been lurking this subreddit for awhile, and have been trading for 2 years now. Over the past 2 years, I have lost money trying short term day trades/swing trades and options plays. Had some very good days, and very bad days. This whole greedy short term thing I was trying to do came to a head on Feb 5th with the implosion of SVXY/XIV. I was long both UVXY and SVXY at the close of that day, but obviously the correlation between the 2 broke down completely and I lost a disproportionate amount of money in SVXY. I didn't lose my shirt but it was still extremely painful. I have actually started taking everyone's advice on here with just passive indexing, but with a bit of a difference. I do own stocks that I never plan on selling, ever. XOM KO PFE PG GIS (bought after the drop recently) and EIX. Adding to these is not my priority at this time, just want to have some boring "safe" stocks in my portfolio that pays decent dividends. However, the core position of my portfolio is VTI. A little over half of my account balance is invested in all of these, with VTI being 22% of my current holdings. I will continue to passively invest in this monthly with money deposited into my account. The other half of the cash is tied up in limit orders for VTI; buying more if it drops 5% (this order already got triggered) 10%, 15%, 20%. I know I am essentially "timing the market" with this, but I guess the reason is I just don't know wtf is going to happen, and don't want to throw everything in all at once. I'm not ashamed to admit that last month shook me out, big time. The past 2 years I have been following the market and it just seemed to go up every day, especially last year. [link] [comments]  |
| Recommended allocation of REIT stocks in a mixed-asset portfolio Posted: 28 Mar 2018 01:51 PM PDT Curious to hear how much exposure to REITs that you have in your portfolio. Please explain your rationale behind your allocation %. [link] [comments]  |
| Why did $KHC get slaughtered? 35% discount to the highs from last year. Posted: 28 Mar 2018 11:42 AM PDT And moreover, down 23% since January. Ouch. Did y'all stop buying ketchup or something? [link] [comments]  |
| The Intelligent Investor discussion videos on YouTube Posted: 28 Mar 2018 05:13 AM PDT One of my favorite financial YouTubers is Sven Carlin. He's recently begun a new series where he talks for a few minutes about individual chapters from The Intelligent Investor, one of the most popular investment books. Here's a link to the playlist.

| Posted: 28 Mar 2018 02:59 PM PDT Curious what people in the IT industry think about various cloud companies like Amazon, Microsoft, etc. I think it's valuable to hear the opinion of industry experts. [link] [comments]  |
| Any more "active" (but sound) strategies for a regular investor? Posted: 28 Mar 2018 11:10 PM PDT So I've been investing for a few years in a Roth IRA through Schwab. Investing in Commission Free, low expense Schwab ETFs in an allocation I like, (50% Broad Market, 20% Small Cap, 20% International, 10% Bond). However things have gotten very mechanical. It's effective, but getting pretty boring. I know boring is often a goal of retirement investing, but it kind of feels like money going down a black hole sometimes. Are there other strategies, investments, or instruments out there I could be looking into still having a limited amount to invest? I plan on doing this in addition (not to replace) my Roth contributions. Higher risk is fine, but I'm still wanting something sound. Just maybe a bit more active than I have so far.

| Why is investing not considered speculation? Posted: 28 Mar 2018 10:17 PM PDT We can think of this as buying an individual stock or we can even look at it from buying an index fund. Let's just say the S&P 500. So I buy the s&p 500 and I get a tiny portion of 500 companies. We can take those 500 companies, add up their revenue and net income. We can then view it as if it were just one giant holding company. When I buy that index fund I am basically saying "I think the price will increase and I will get a little bit of dividends". All else being equal, if the revenue and net income goes up....the share price should also go up as well and vice versa. So in essence, am I not simply speculating on the price of the fund? I don't really know if the revenue will keep going up at all. I am just assuming that it will BASED ON PAST PERFORMANCE. We look at the charts and say, "well, yeah it has gone up historically 10% per annum over the past 30 years" and then we conclude that it must continue like this. On this sub it is almost treated as a gospel...a guaranteed thing to happen. In classic finance classes we are told hat this type of investing is a fallacy of the sorts because past performance does not predict future performance. Yet this is basically what we are told to do. Can someone spell it out crystal clear. Why is it not considered just blind speculation? [link] [comments]  |

| Take a chill pill on the CRISPR stocks Posted: 28 Mar 2018 05:27 AM PDT Jennifer Doudna, the cofounder of NTLA, EDIT, CRSPR, and co-discoverer of the CRISPR/Cas9 system came to speak at my university. I asked her, "You have loyalties both to humanitarian efforts and to making your business run effectively, should we be investing in your company?" She made it very clear that scientific discovery is her first priority, saying "there are some things which are much easier and efficient to develop and discover through a company than through a traditional university" She said that she will be putting her efforts towards innovation first and investors second. I'm saying this as a Biology major in university. The technology is amazing and world changing, but more in the area of research, it's not exactly marketable at this point. So if you're going to invest in NTLA, EDIT, or CRSPR at this point, just know that these companies don't really have value right now, you're betting on human psychology at this point, which is no better than crypto. Sure, it will have value one day, but the whole market is hyped up right now from people who don't know what's really going on within this industry. And also know that this industry is being led by people who care more about changing the world for the better than stuffing your bank accounts. [link] [comments]  |
| Do you think now is a good time to invest in Facebook shares? Posted: 28 Mar 2018 09:28 PM PDT I'm a novice investor but I would love to hear the opinions of those who are really in the game. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments]  |
| What happens to a company's stock when it is acquired? Posted: 28 Mar 2018 09:12 PM PDT Title. I'm a bit confused because from what I've read, the acquired company's stock is completely absorbed by the acquirer and I would assume that the acquired company wouldn't trade anymore. However I'm looking at the case with Intel -> Mobileye and I can see just by googling that Mobileye's stock has changed in price after the acquisition. Could someone please explain? Thanks!

| What coursework would best prepare me for a career as a fund manager? Posted: 28 Mar 2018 08:51 PM PDT I was a Finance and Accounting student at Kelley School of Business, but I have transferred out last semester because I found that the undergraduate business curriculum is too easy (focusing on soft skills, group work, practical skills like excel rather than problem solving or thinking). I believe those business knowledge can be easily learned through books. I am currently majoring in Mathematics and am thinking about a double (or triple) major. I thought about Computer Science, but I just don't like CS. So I wonder what kind of education would best prepare me for being a fund manager? Would philosophy, economics be beneficial to my thinking skills? [link] [comments]  |
| If I want to get to know one sector very well, where do I start? What resources should I know about? Posted: 28 Mar 2018 10:50 AM PDT So, going forward I think I want to limit my trading of individual stocks (mostly do ETFs) to companies and sectors that I know pretty well. I will be working in healthcare, and have a natural interest in healthcare companies, so I figure getting to know that sector well and then following healthcare news/companies might not be a bad idea. Are there any good resources for someone in my position, aside from reading random analyst reports on company X Y Z, and following the news? I'd like to learn, but not sure where to turn to.
