| Posted: 11 Mar 2018 02:50 PM PDT Hi everyone, I just wanted to caution and stress to everyone the importance of doing your own research and due diligence with investing. There is a person posting (or should I say spamming) all the finance and investing subreddits about a company called Patriot One Technology. He plays naive asking what everyone's opinion on the company is and then has shill accounts post positive or optimistic comments of the company. My guess is he somehow believes he'll be able to influence stock price by driving investors to it who heard about it online. I created this post because I love this community and the world of investing. There are a lot of people coming here looking to learn and seeking advice from others. I know I've learned quite a bit from subreddits like this one. I love a good shitpost every now and then but I don't like people trying to manipulate and take advantage of those who are inexperienced, gullible, or new to things trying to learn. That crosses a line in my books as corny as that may sound. If you look into these posts and the comments at first, a naive or inexperienced person may think this looks like an attractive company full of potential listed at a bargain price. They may see others praising it and decide to put their own money into the company stock themselves. Yet, a little digging would show this poster is spamming all the related subreddits with this company, creating shill accounts to praise it, and even made a YouTube video all in an effort of trying to lure people into this Canadian pennystock that deals with security systems conveniently after the recent string of mass shootings in the US. Don't be fooled and let these people take advantage of you. Greed is a part of life, especially in the world of finance and investing. Do your own research, listen to others advice carefully yet cautiously, take time to learn how markets and companies work, and don't blindly follow the advice of strangers, especially those online in a forum involving money related matters. The mods here do a solid job of keeping this community running and I don't want this post to discourage discussion of new, small, niche, or exciting companies. If you see anything strange like the poster here, don't be afraid to call them out or report them to the mods. Let's keep this subreddit going strong. Thanks. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 11 Mar 2018 06:18 PM PDT I've talked to a bunch of friends recently and one thing they all have in common: either they "got in when everything was cheap", or they "wish they had". Most of them are referring to real estate, crypto, FANG equities, or heck... even $SPY. Cheap is relative, and it's really only a hindsight thing. You only know something was cheap when the price someone is willing to pay for it goes up over time. Look at crypto. Look at $AAPL or $AMZN. Which leads me to my question: What does everyone consider "cheap" right now? What's that thing that you believe people will be willing to pay much more for 1, 5 or even 10 years from now? $GE? Real estate? Bitcoin? $BLOK? $QQQ? Bonds? :) FYI, I'm not looking for short term gambles. I'm really interested in hearing about what the community is passionate about long term, and why.

| Bad idea to hold "too many stocks" so individual contribution of each is minimal. Posted: 11 Mar 2018 04:59 PM PDT I read an article online today (forgot to bookmark, source was generally trustful, but more a fluff piece) that said an investing mistake is to own a wide range of stock so the profit from any one is minimal in your portfolio. I have around 12 different companies right now but was planning to slowly expand. But this made me re-think... one owns a wide range of stocks, you might as well own Index funds instead. If I keep owning my 10-12, I basically am assuming (hoping) I'd outperform the market, which is probably unlikely. I've had good and bad year that probably fallout over time to be equal-ish with the S&P index. So again, I ask - is it worth it? I find it fun to follow stocks, so I enjoy investing. But I also hate to throw money away. Any thoughts from someone else who holds a range of equities? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 11 Mar 2018 11:46 AM PDT Backstory: I have just come out of Uni, 4 months into a paid internship. By the end of the year I will have earned around £25k (almost all of it disposable income) however this is by sitting in an office with little work to do all day every day. Obviously this is not a job I want to continue to do even though I'm likely to be kept on and be part of the company, as I don't want this kind of lifestyle. What I am asking is, do any of you have any tips / information you can give me as to what I should start researching and read up on to improve my knowledge of investing / day trading? Also perhaps recommending the best platforms to trade on and any books and websites that are useful. Because I will have all this time to study, I believe any sort of beginner material all the way up to a high level standard of information would be extremely helpful. Thanks for reading and any help is appreciated! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 11 Mar 2018 06:39 PM PDT Got some YOLO money and looking to create more YOLO money. Info on each looking for feedback. FNGU - tech hasn't disappointed since the dot com crash. Not a fan of FB or Twitter but Poppa Bezos makes it rain. Netflix is sweet but that valuation is making me sweat (groin area). DFEN - Big Donnie is not messing around. Significant increase in Defense spending per last budget deal. War is getting more automated. Kim Jon Un is nuts and Big Donnie is not afraid to get sendy with the big one. Both of them are meeting soon at Government building somewhere, prolly will go nowhere. Would be more productive if both met at great clips to get haircuts. Again, very bad haircuts, lots of bad decision making going on lately. Thoughts? [link] [comments]  |
| In the past, has there been a super large company that was broken up? What happened to investors? Posted: 11 Mar 2018 04:13 PM PDT Just wondering what would happen if Amazon was broken up. edit: I shouldn't have mentioned the word "Amazon." Would really appreciate if people could actually answer the question. What happens to your investment when the company is broken up? [link] [comments]  |

| Newbie question on stop orders Posted: 12 Mar 2018 12:27 AM PDT Is it common/advised to set stop orders to secure some gains you have made with individual stocks? I know that holding for the long run is pretty popular and if you found a good company, to do just that. But what are the downsides of setting stop orders to secure some gain? That you have to pay your regular tax bracket rate for capital gains instead of 15% (if you held it for a year or more)? Are there other downsides to setting stop orders or is it generally a good practice if you're looking to secure gains you've earned? Sorry if this is the wrong place or a dumb question. I seldom use reddit and am a newbie investor. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 11 Mar 2018 10:51 PM PDT Does anyone have a personal rule on stop losses? Or a certain percent to keep on hand in order to buy the dip? Obviously you do not want to miss out if the market does not dip, so where is the balance of trying to be extra cautious when you have a feeling it may go down relatively soon? [link] [comments]  |
| Vanguard like ETFs for European Investors? Posted: 11 Mar 2018 11:33 AM PDT Hi, Since 2018 I cannot buy vanguard ETFs like VTI, VOOG, through DeGiro, my broker, and also any other european broker, as Vanguard does not provides a "Key Information Document", see:
-- https://www.boards.ie/b/thread/2057822332 (more details: https://esas-joint-committee.europa.eu/Publications/Technical%20Standards/JC%202017%2049%20%28JC_PRIIPs_QA_Final%29_clean.pdf ) I tried to search for similar ones which are either on an European exchange or provide a KID, but there are so damn many and I'm pretty new to this world, so I'm do not have the means (yet) to find a good answer. So my question are:
Or naturally anything else which could help me or others. (obvious note: not a native speaker, also quite new to investing, so please correct any obvious dumb mistake I made) much thanks! [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 11 Mar 2018 10:10 PM PDT Remark a once promising company has once again revitalize interests of investors with their potential AI KanKan. They claimed to offer "disruptive solutions for Fintech, Targeted Marketing, Predictive, Analysis, Market Research, Competitor Analysis, and Consumer Behavior Analysis. A couple months ago their they release an extremely optimistic forward guidance expected to quintuple in 2018. They have an institutional holding of 16.38% which is quite substantial and notably one of their investor is CP group, a Thai Congolmerate who were the first to enter China when they opened their market to the world. Now this means absolutely nothing as they have money to throw around but it is important to consider that MARK has the eye of big investors. Unfortunately recent events have devastated the stocks and have investors scared. . If you have not read about it, this was the Reddit I heard about it from. https://www.reddit.com/r/RobinHood/comments/7ctau5/you_need_to_check_out_ai_led_remark_holdings_mark/ MARK shows some weakness in their management and public relations as recent events unfolded but it uncertain what maybe the cause of it. The recent bogus report that claim MARK was fradulent was eventually deletedhttps://www.jcapitalresearch.com/uploads/2/0/0/3/20032477/2018_02_06_mark_external.pdf, but stocks eventually tumbled under 10$ which show never had happened. Unfortunately MARK's weak rebuttal that was clean and clear but vague on exactly what they do perhaps to maintain secrecy against other AI companies. Their CFO have also recently sold his shares. Now this may mean nothing at all and perhaps we can give them the benefit of the doubt and this is where part of the risk comes from. They could simply be fully focused on developing KanKan while maintaining their other subsidiaries, but without investors that cannot succeed. I'm pretty sure the people who were on margins were devastated. And because MARK is a small market cap they could simply be inexperienced with public relations. . The other part of the risk is simply KanKan is a unproven technology in their early stages. Claims are simply claims, one that stood out to me is that they claim KanKan's War Room is like no other. This is just one of their many bold claim like quintupling of their AI revenue. But let see. The reason why MARK stocks went up last week started with a confirmed contract, and days earlier before these event they showed an example of KanKan, followed by a report by Shanghai university. On March 6 MARK signed a contract with 7/11 Thailand to deploy KanKan through 11,000 stores that is owned by CP group. This is incredibly important, CP group is not only investing but also implementing them into their system. https://twitter.com/RemarkHoldings/status/970994294453604353 It goes without saying you shouldn't invest in something you don't understand and invest in what you use like shaq's wheaties/fruity pebbles deal. Now the example they showed (March 2), showed absolutely nothing of value to the everyday investor, https://twitter.com/RemarkHoldings/status/969595666040147970 I am not tech expert but I am pretty sure its complex to track movements. On March 8, Shanghai university wrote a report on Kankan which is unfortunately deleted. https://twitter.com/jgrim375/status/971809430776971268?s=19 I actually forgot but I do remember they are would like to enter the Japanese market, although a weak growth economy they have a market opened to innovation. In a country high dependent on tech this would be fantastic if they could. Other big news that I don't think people caught on was Ping-An on cnbc spoke to use their AI system. And guess what AI they are planning to use. Your's truly KanKan. I don't think most people caught on since they didn't specifically state KanKan. https://www.cnbc.com/video/2017/08/17/ping-an-is-far-ahead-in-using-a-i-in-the-insurance-business-exec.html We want a a strong China in the coming months. We do not want a recession but that recession will not becaused by the steel and aluminum tariffs. There are a helluva more things that can topple the Chinese market before this. According to federal info we receive only 2-4% of steel from China, the concern with this is that there is some belief that steel is being shipped through transshipment by shipping raw material to other countries before the entering the US and that is what we record. Tracking transshipping is incredibly hard so it is uncertain. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2018/mar/08/angus-king/does-much-steel-does-us-import-china/ But shipping steel is also really heavy and expensive it would be absurd to transship (this is purely my opinion it wouldn't surprise me that china is doing it like russia is murdering journalists), there are claims that china is flooding that the market with steel at a loss in order to curb production but of course china dismisses this. http://www.bbc.com/news/business-36099043 So why is this important, it is not. This will not affect MARK as long as mark can attract subscription based customers from any market sectors. Forget 7/11, who the hell cares in fact, we want China and Japan but more importantly CHINA. Forget the tiny deal with 7/11. China is leaning towards being wallet free in major cities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75AXINUL47g Where we concern ourselves with privacy in the states. The chinese have allowed Alibaba and Tencent access to massive amount of consumer data. In china everyone is paying with either alipay or wechat (tencent). KanKan's supposed ability would be an invaluable tool and entering the Japanese market who are obviously technologically advance would be just another happy aneurysm. other stuff mark do and there are more this is one of them - credit score through social media that banks in china uses as a credible source. . The dip that came on Friday, and it is barely a dip dropping only 12 cents. MARK still shows some strong RSI. . TLDR: Don't fear MARK. Invest in what your willing to lose. I am absolutely not responsible for your decisions. Do your own DD. EDIT: Additional disclosure: My intent in redditing this to inform investors about developments related to Remark Media. I did not and do not intend to suggest any specific action by any investor or shareholder and strongly suggest that any decision made to buy or sell shares of this stock be made after consultation with an investment advisor as to the suitability of such an investment. I currently own shares of MARK outright and in some managed accounts. I may buy or sell shares at any time based on market conditions and the trading price of MARK. This is a small market cap, please be aware of the risks associated with these stocks. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 11 Mar 2018 02:07 PM PDT A year or two ago, I swear I saw a site like GuruFocus.com – except it was for regular investors to make their portfolios public to gain followers/investors/internet fame/whatever. The homepage showed the top investors and their portfolios. I have Googled every phrase I can think of, however, and even looked at "sites like gurufocus.com" to no avail. Does anyone know a site like this, or am I imagining it? I've found some sites that let amateur investors trade and gather followers/investors, but the site I'm thinking of was free and open and wasn't focused on getting people to sign up with their brokerage.
