    Coca-Cola Launching Chu-Hi, It's First Alcoholic Drink In 130 Years In Japan

    Posted: 07 Mar 2018 07:19 AM PST

    Coca-Cola is finally venturing into alcoholic drinks, after more than a century of creating carbonated drinks free of alcohol.

    Coca-Cola has created an alcopop drink called Chu-Hi — a mixture of distilled shochu alcohol and flavored carbonated water — and will be launched exclusively in Japan. No timeline was specified for the launch of the product, the Telegraph reported.

    "This is a canned drink that includes alcohol; traditionally, it is made with a distilled beverage called shochu and sparkling water, plus some flavoring. We haven't experimented in the low alcohol category before, but it's an example of how we continue to explore opportunities outside our core areas," Jorge Garduño, Coca-Cola's Japan president said.

    The product is not expected to be sold globally and is supposed to remain exclusive to Japan due to the "unique and special" qualities of the nation's market. However, with an array of similarly alcoholic beverages — ranging in flavors from kiwi to yuzu — already popular in the Japanese market, Coca-Cola's Chu-Hi has quite a competitive road ahead of it.

    Struggling to hire, some companies are relaxing corporate drug policies

    Posted: 07 Mar 2018 07:28 AM PST

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-05/the-coming-decline-of-the-employment-drug-test

    Last month, AutoNation Inc., the largest U.S. auto dealer, announced it would no longer refuse job applicants who tested positive for weed. The Denver Post, owned by Digital First Media, ended pre-employment drug testing for all non-safety sensitive positions in September 2016.

    Some jobs, such as those involving the use of heavy machinery, will always require drug tests. Excellence Health still drug-tests any employee working on a government contract, even in states where weed is legal. Companies are also reserving the right to test after an accident or if an employee comes to work notably impaired.

    Not all companies are ready to change course. Restaurant Brands International Inc., which owns Burger King, hasn't altered its corporate marijuana policy, said Chief Executive Officer Daniel Schwartz. Ford Motor Co. still treats pot as an illegal substance, according to a company spokeswoman.

    TL;DR: Low unemployment levels is forcing some companies to make compromises. I'd imagine there won't be as much exemptions for harder drugs, such as opioid and heroin.

    How likely is it that the S&P 500 will have a negative return in the next 30 years?

    Posted: 07 Mar 2018 02:44 PM PST

    I'm imagining something like the Nikkei where if you had put in money in the 90's you would've had a negative return till this day (about 28 years).

    How does Domino's Pizza get such a big valuation in the market?

    Posted: 07 Mar 2018 10:26 AM PST

    It has negative 2.8B on the balance sheet and makes 'only' 250 million in net profit a year for a 9B market cap.

    How is this even possible? It sounds like a terrible investment!

    if you didn't have to pay taxes, would you day trade SPX options versus holding SPY ETFs?

    Posted: 07 Mar 2018 04:29 PM PST

    title and serious.

    for example, if you had tax losses and you just buy SPX weeklies instead of holding SPY stock.

    anyone here familiar with a REIT called GOV (Government Properties)?

    Posted: 07 Mar 2018 01:03 PM PST

    Any idea why it's dropping?

    No interest in investing, but my firm (insurance co) owns stock in it, and I'm just curious why it's dropped so much over the past 6-8 months. I think the credit guys I work with thought it was supposed to be a super safe REIT since it mostly leases real estate to US government agencies. The share price obviously says it wasn't as safe as they thought lol.

    How come technology hasn't kept up with buying a bond as easy as stocks?

    Why does QQQ have a reputation for being a "trader's" stock and not something for a long-term portfolio?

    Posted: 07 Mar 2018 03:45 PM PST

    Seems like the only technology index that's fairly inexpensive (.20%). I was thinking of having 10% of my IRA be this because technology is, you know, the future.

    Any experience using CFD for Long term?

    Posted: 08 Mar 2018 02:15 AM PST

    Hi everyone, I am new to CFD and by extent to margin trading. Simple question: why is there no fund out there (with deep enough pocket to avoid margin calls) whose strategy is to invest in passive index with CFD type-leverage?

    I opened a long position 3 days ago of 2700€ on the SP500 with just 4€ margin. I placed a stop loss which gives me lots of free room in case of any consequent drop in the market and it is only representing a loss of 60€. The take profit will grant me 130€ which would double the size of my portfolio. Is there something I don't get about CFD before I start scaling that up?

    Thanks in advance

    When a stock goes down in the after-hours, does it still count?

    Posted: 08 Mar 2018 01:50 AM PST

    I assume no, right? Because the market is closed then.

    New to investing. Are I bonds a good short term place to park money? Is there something better I have missed.

    Posted: 07 Mar 2018 10:27 AM PST

    Mostly new to investing but trying to learn as I go. I don't have a 401K but I have a Roth and its capped for the year so I'm looking to invest around 500-1000 a month somewhere. Also as a side note I have no debt to my name what so ever.

    So my question to those here who have more experience then me is are I bonds NOT a great place to store cash for say 1-2 years if the current market is looking scary to me? Is this a bad idea idea and if so why? Should I not be afraid of investing in the current climate?

    I don't know a lot but they say it's what you DON'T know that can kill you. I'm looking for short term investments with lower risk. The 2.58 on I bonds is not very good but it seems better then cash and I can't seem to find to many other places that off anything better. I looked at short term bonds or maybe parking some in gold if the dollar drops with the market but at the same time if NOTHING happens then I'm losing money in another way by being too careful.

    A little help for a newbie investor would be wonderful. Thank you for your time.

    What would you do with this strategy

    Posted: 08 Mar 2018 01:05 AM PST

    Hey all, hope you are doing ok.

    So as the title suggests, what would you do with a system that produced the following results backtested for the past 2 years:

    2016 Trades Winning Losing Largest Winner Largest Loser Total AUD USD 2 2 0 57 0 77 EUR JPY 7 7 0 165 0 723 GBP USD 5 4 1 132 -674 -369 USD JPY 8 7 1 296 -216 566 USD CAD 2 2 0 441 0 453 EUR USD 1 0 1 0 -205 -205 EUR GBP 4 4 0 272 0 343

    2017 Trades Winning Losing Largest Winner Largest Loser Total AUD USD 4 4 0 81 0 186.1 EUR JPY 2 2 0 46 0 52.3 GBP USD 3 3 0 75 0 172.5 USD JPY 6 6 0 169 0 402.8 USD CAD 5 4 1 60.8 -78.9 56 EUR USD 1 1 0 25.6 0 25.6 EUR GBP 2 2 0 25 0 36.4

    2016 Total pips = 1588 2017 Total pips = 931

    The entry and exit is based off the daily chart checked every day at 5pm UK time.

    I don't have lots of capital to invest in this, and it would take years and years to grow a small bank due to the small number of trades each year.

    What would be the best way to maximize the profit here?

    Thanks, Adam

    Why is venture capital's investment at fair value different from Net asset value

    Posted: 07 Mar 2018 08:46 PM PST

    Are these two completely not comparable?

    If not, what are the the main factors causing the difference? Is it debt and dividend issuance?

    Thanks

    Coinbase is launching its own cryptocurrency index fund

    Why do stock recoveries go up so much more than downturns go down?

    Posted: 07 Mar 2018 08:27 PM PST

    Why are downturns before, during, and after a recession so miniscule when compared to the recoveries afterward?

    If you look at a chart of the stock indexes while the country is in a recession you will notice a dip. But, how come this dip never lasts long? Even after "the great depression," the market was almost back to where it was before the great depression by 1937.

    How come markets always go up so much? I'm not talking about the past as much as the last few recessions. It seems like we have far fewer recessions than we did in the past. Plus the recessions are smaller and don't last as long. Why is that?

    If your portfolio includes a lot of tech, check out Hypernetwork and tell me what you think? I'm sold on their tech, but want to hear some different investment angles.

    Posted: 08 Mar 2018 12:00 AM PST

    As a former Google engineer, I certainly believe in the power and value of High Performance Computing. Hypernetwork is the first company I've seen to make big strides in this field in a long time. Anyone else with a tech heavy portfolio want to discuss their project?

    Affiliate Marketing advice in 2018!

    Posted: 08 Mar 2018 12:00 AM PST

    Hi everybody, this is my first post on reddit. I would like to ask you guys some advice about investing in affiliate marketing in 2018.

    I still don't know if starting a e-commerce business or trying AM. I have about 5k to invest and a lot of free time to dedicate. I have been selling on ebay/craiglist for years so I have a little bit of knowledge in selling stuff online but I don't have any skills in creating a website, directing traffic, landing pages etc...

    Which one would be the best option in terms of good investment? I'm not looking for ways to make 10k a month (at least for now) but earn a decent 1 or 2k a month and see how it goes.

    Thanks!

    Is there a case for American Funds (at NAV) over Vanguard index funds?

    Posted: 07 Mar 2018 05:16 PM PST

    Newbie investor here. Everyone at r/personalfinance seems to hate AmFunds with a passion. Is there a case for American Funds (I have a zero sales charge account) over a low cost index fund? I have about $40k in a roth with them and I'm nervous about moving it to Vanguard as I've been contributing for over 10 years now.
