    Coming from the recent r/bestof post, how can I invest so if the Chinese real estate market crashes I can make money off of it?

    Posted: 01 Mar 2018 05:29 AM PST

    Will there be ripples in the us economy that I could use? Should I try shorting Chinese companies directly? (That is if it actually ever happens)

    Partial Stock Shares Question

    Posted: 01 Mar 2018 04:46 PM PST

    Quick question, does anyone know if you can purchase fractional shares of stock through Wells Fargo? Like would I be able to buy 2.5 shares of a company, or would I have to round it to 2 or 3?

    Thanks

    Ranking of Publicly-traded Toy companies in terms of Market Capitalization

    Posted: 01 Mar 2018 02:32 PM PST

    The Toy Industry is experience a tough time [RIP Toys R Us] but there is hope for growth from long-term investors. So here is all the publicly traded toy companies in terms of market capitalization (stock price x all shares in the open market):

    • Jakks Pacific: $52 Million market cap (USA)
    • Funko: $360 Million market cap (USA)
    • Mattel: $5.4 Billion market cap (USA)
    • Spin Master: $5.8 Billion market cap (Canada)
    • Hasbro: $11.7 Billion market cap (USA)

    Stock Tickers: JAKK, FNKO, MAT, TOY, HAS

    Note: With all the rough rides if I was to invest in these Industry (Sector) it will be Hasbro and Spin Master, because of their strategies in film, TV, online, and Technology adoption. Mattel used to be the biggest in terms of market cap but bad management and missteps change all of that fortune [here is hoping Hasbro is allowed to buy them]. Lego Group (Denmark), MGA Entertainment (USA) and Playmobil are privately-held hence their absence on the above list. And lastly, it sad to see Toys R Us go, here is hoping it not a big impact on the Toy Industry.

    Fair Play: AT&T’s Remaining Argument for the Time Warner Deal

    Posted: 01 Mar 2018 05:25 AM PST

    The narrative that President Donald Trump's dislike of CNN caused the Justice Department to unfairly block AT&T Inc. from buying Time Warner Inc. just won't die. But after last week, it could be on life support in the courtroom.

    AT&T will need to focus on its other argument about why the merger should clear. It says the merged company will be better situated to compete in a rapidly-evolving video industry that includes giants like Google Inc., Apple Inc., and Amazon.com. The outcome of the trial will likely turn on that assertion, which has garnered less attention in the press. The trial begins on March 19.

    The "Trump was involved" angle is being treated as a sideshow in court. U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Judge Richard Leon Feb. 21 put the brakes on AT&T's request for DOJ documents that AT&T said might lead to evidence that the White House meddled in the merger review. AT&T made a big ask – for all the exchanges between the DOJ and the White House about the merger and all the email correspondence between the antitrust division and the White House about it. But Leon said the log of written exchanges that the DOJ has already surrendered "indicates that there were 'no untoward' communications between the White House and the antitrust division."

    Judge Leon's ruling that AT&T can't access those documents effectively closes the door on AT&T's argument that the DOJ is singling out its Time Warner merger for a punishment that it didn't bestow on other deals, namely Comcast Corp.'s 2011 merger with NBCUniversal. AT&T can still raise the "You said they could, so why can't we?" argument at the trial, but since it can't look for any evidence that the DOJ was demonstrating favoritism, it'll make for a short presentation.

    That leaves the core legal argument that AT&T and Time Warner must merge so they can compete with the likes of Big Tech. It should ring familiar to anyone following the recent spate of merger announcements. CVS Health Corp. and Aetna Inc. are trying to team up to compete with Amazon when it comes to prescription delivery. Albertsons Cos. Inc. and Rite Aid Corp. want to merge for the same reason.

    If that argument carries the day, AT&T will have made the first successful entrée into an unbreached antitrust sphere – how to take on companies like Amazon and Google. That's tricky in traditional competition analysis because it's hard to pin down exactly which markets Amazon, Google, or Apple compete in, especially in a field as amorphous as video. Those tech companies don't fit neatly into any one industry categorization. AT&T, by contrast, is clearly a telecommunications and internet provider.

    AT&T has the ability to mount a Big Tech defense. It devoted more than half of its response to the DOJ's complaint to the evolving video industry and the challenges facing a conventional pay-TV company. How does DirecTV, which AT&T owns, compete with YouTube TV, Snapchat Olympics coverage, or Twitter-streamed NFL games? Google is one of the most powerful companies in the world, AT&T says, and its presence means an AT&T/Time Warner tie-up is necessary to improve competition.

    The government claims the merged company would have too much power over rival distributors who need "must-have" content like HBO's Game of Thrones or, even if Trump doesn't think much of it, CNN. AT&T will all but own that market and dictate its terms if the merger proceeds, the DOJ says.

    Judge Leon has made it clear that he doesn't want to waste precious trial time on debate about the rightness or wrongness of DOJ's past decisions or about any antipathy some members of the administration might have for Time Warner's CNN. That means the discussion, and his decision, will shed much-needed light on how to look at the fast-evolving video market and how to peg dynamic tech companies like Snapchat.

    No matter what happens, it will put some meat on the bones of the burgeoning question of how competition and technological development mesh.

    What's Happening On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral argument in Ohio v. American Express Co. about how to analyze markets that serve two distinct sets of customers.

    Also on Monday, Stanford University economics professor Alvin Roth will give the inaugural Jackson-Nash address at Justice Department headquarters. The speech series honors former Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson and Nobel Laureate economist John Nash. Roth's speech is titled "Who Gets What and Why." Makan Delrahim will also make an introductory presentation.

    On Tuesday, the House Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing about antitrust issues in the pending CVS-Aetna deal.

    On Wednesday, the Senate Commerce Committee will vote on four nominees to sit on the Federal Trade Commission.

    Quote of the Week "We have not yet closed the gap in the area of unilateral conduct. European competition law still imposes a 'special duty' on dominant market players, while we in the U.S. do not believe any such duty exists."

    --Makan Delrahim, speaking in Brussels about the differences between U.S. and EU competition philosophy, particularly in digital technology.

    Note: AT&T can still move on owning a massive wireless business in AT&T Mobility, premium brand in HBO, and Warner Bros. Film and TV Studios while selling a big chunk of DIRECTV and Turner. And buyout GSN and Otter which gives them Crunchyroll an anime powerhouse, VRV and Fullscreen.

    Part 2: What happened last time when market was so pessimistic regarding future interests rate?

    Posted: 01 Mar 2018 02:26 PM PST

    I have posted this question to a few subreddit with the intention to hear out more opinion.

    r/investing:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/813iwj/what_happened_last_time_when_market_was_so/

    r/stocks:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/813nbp/what_happened_last_time_when_market_was_so/

    r/stockmarket:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/StockMarket/comments/813l9s/what_happened_last_time_when_market_was_so/

    In general, the feedback I got was:

    From r/investing: Cannot really decide. Too small of a sample size.

    From r/stockmarket: 2 most upvoted comments was that the current fear of interest rate hikes is just NOISE.

    From r/stock: pretty good response. What I extracted out was: it is right to be fearful now.

    After hearing out the forum opinion, what I got out of it is:

    I cannot predict the future but I have to at least know where the market direction currently stands.

    You have a small amount invested in common stocks, mostly in the financial and tech sector. Your options are sell the stocks in the next few weeks at an apparent high, or hold for 7 months. Based on your expectations of the market, what do you do?

    Posted: 01 Mar 2018 10:49 AM PST

    So basically, to clarify, what is your outlook on tech and finance stocks in the next 7 months?

    I have a small portfolio that I will definitely be selling at the end of October no matter what (due to an investment strategy plan that I made a while ago).

    I'm wondering what people think about the growth prospects of stocks in the next 7 months. Would you expect a small profit over that time span? Are current conditions too volatile for you to speculate?

    If you had to decide now, would you hold for 7 months and ride the wave, or would you sell in the coming weeks in an attempt to avoid another, perhaps larger correction?

    Earnings estimate change alert

    Posted: 01 Mar 2018 04:11 PM PST

    Does anyone know of a site or service that would alert if the analysts average earnings estimate changes by a certain percentage? Estimize sends out emails but they are once in a while. Think TK used to have a graph showing estimates over time period, so you can see if the analysts have made upward or downward revisions.

    Wash Sale Question

    Posted: 01 Mar 2018 02:04 PM PST

    Hi everyone,

    I had a question for the wonderful people of reddit about the 'wash sale rule'. Since I am a day trader, at times I take a loss on a security (most winning trades thou 😜), but then I buy the same security the same day or a few days apart and take a profit. I read the official IRS wash sale rules several times, but the fine print still isn't clear enough for me. So my question is, as long as before December 31st I have no open position in a specific security, does the wash sale rule apply to any of the transactions I had in that security during the year?

    Thank you in advance all for your feedback!

    Best.

    PSA: you can cancel orders on robinhood. Hamburger button -> history -> tap the order -> cancel

    Posted: 01 Mar 2018 04:41 AM PST

    This works for Android I know.

    Hamburger button -> history -> tap the order -> cancel

    The hamburger button is the top left three line thing. Cancel is red at the bottom of the order panel.

    If this helps one person save their posistion I'm happy.

    Help reading financial statements (specifically consolidated statements of shareholders' equity)

    Posted: 01 Mar 2018 05:50 AM PST

    I'm trying to research companies' changes in equity but keep hitting road blocks. I'm trying to research the yearly change in a certain company's equity and see that they have a $22 million gain from "net gains and losses and prior service costs" (https://imgur.com/a/XuATQ). How would I further research something like this? Oftentimes when I look at a company's equity statement I see something like this (a random, sometimes reoccurring charge usually classified under "accumulated other comprehensive income") which is a problem because it makes it near impossible to project the said company's future equity. How do you guys further research these kinds of idiosyncrasies in equity statements? Is the information further broken down somewhere? Like is there an "accumulated other comprehensive income" statement or something or can this type of information not be researched more in depth? Thanks.

    (3/1) - Thursday's Pre-Market Stock Movers & News

    Posted: 01 Mar 2018 05:34 AM PST

    I want to directly buy stocks.

    Posted: 01 Mar 2018 01:47 AM PST

    This is a simple question maybe dumb. I want to buy stocks directly not trade them(CFDs) or use margin. If I am correct to hold a position using margin for long term you have to pay overnight interest fees which is not beneficial for long term. I also live in Malta(Europe) and soon 19.
