| Thinking about investing 100% of my money in SQ BUT.. Posted: 31 Mar 2018 07:35 AM PDT Buying ATM LEAP protective puts against them so that way I know EXACTLY to the penny how much my loss would be in the absolute worst case situatuon. Let me elaborate. I have 50k to invest, I'm thinking about buying 900 shares at 44k and taking the remainder 6 grand and buying at the money LEAP puts that expire in 293 days at the $50 strike price. What does this trade accomplish? Well, im very bullish on SQ over the nexr year, BUT since i consider it a speculative play, I want to hedge. If SQ literally drops to $0.00 per share, I am only out the price I paid for the puts (6 grand) that is the absolute WORST case. If SQ is same price, I'm out 6 grand. BUT, if SQ doubles to $100 per share, then I make net profit of $83,000, ($89000 minus the 6 grand I lost on the puts) For me to break even, SQ would just have to be up by $7.00 and that pretty much erases the 6 grand loss in the puts I bought and I break even. To me, this seems like the PERFECT way to play some of these high risk/high reward plays like SQ, TWTR, SNAP etc. Thoughts? Bottom line is at absolute worst case scenario, I atleast know I can literally do no worse than a 12% loss on this trade. Not a bad deal in my opinion for a high flying stock like SQ.

| Massive amounts of US Debt bearish for long term equities? Posted: 31 Mar 2018 02:02 PM PDT Now I'm not an economics major, so please someone, correct me if i'm off base on this... Through tax cuts and other measured Trump has created approx 1.2 Trillion in debt, while the Fed is trying to slowly unload its balance sheet near 600 Billion in Bonds. Obviously these bonds aren't going to flood the market all at once but 1.8 Trillion in bonds at any rate is significant and will send yields to the moon. Wildcard China (one of the Largest holder of US treasuries) tries to strike back at the US for its trade sanctions and floods the markets with its US bonds. Even worse. (hard to picture them doing this because it would hurt them severely too) I'm not bearish on the market at all, but these things have really got me cautious. Any counter arguments I havent considered here? [link] [comments]  |
| [ADVICE REQUEST] About to come into a substantial amount of money (100k+) and looking for advice! Posted: 31 Mar 2018 06:08 AM PDT Hi r/stocks! I'm a long time lurker here and find this sub to be very insightful. I've had an interest in investing (primarily stocks) for a couple of years now but have up to this point only been dealing with smaller amounts 5-10k USD. As I'm about to receive an inheritance of at least 100k USD, I'm looking for some advice. My strategy up to this point has been focusing on markets and "concepts" that I know and believe to be profitable in the long term. I'm thinking I'll continue with this approach and am considering a portfolio centered around the following concepts and stocks:
Any general thought? Also I'm not yet sure about how I want to allocate and distribute my capital among these. Please remember I'm an amateur and a relative newbie at that. Thanks friends! [link] [comments]  |
| Invest in companies that earns a lot, but breaks even after all the costs. Posted: 30 Mar 2018 03:28 PM PDT I came across an interesting company that were growing at a fast rate, but part of their growing strategy is to get more staff and equipment. Their revenue and gross margin is great, but after employee, equipment and other costs they break even. They provide services and equipment for COPD patients. They have over 200 employees that helps the patients with the medical devices. So business strategy is to grow the patient number, as long as they do this they need to buy more medical devices, and also hire more people. As long as they grow the business they won't be able to have any cash left after all the costs, is it smart to invest in companies like this? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 31 Mar 2018 09:29 AM PDT I post an text about making mistake about accidentally exercising option contract. After reading some posts on Reddit, I noticed many people novice or expert saying "no weeklies". My understanding it that because of time decay weeklies is not profitable. However, what if i plan to buy & sell on the same day, would it be same? What is the best option contract length? A month or two? When should I be closing a week prior to expiration or two weeks? Thank you. [link] [comments]  |
| Intel, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Micron or AMD? Posted: 31 Mar 2018 01:11 PM PDT Have a few thousand to invest, looking for a holding in the semiconductor/hardware space - which would you chose from the above? Intel seems the safest, nvidia seems incredible but am I too late to the party? [link] [comments]  |

| Chinese stock market and others in Asia traded higher at the end of this week (3.29) Posted: 31 Mar 2018 09:38 AM PDT This week, the stock market in Asia traded higher on Friday for the last trading day of the quarter, indicating the gradual recovery of the market. In the Greater China region, Taiwan's Taiex gained 60.30 points, or 0.56 percent, to 10,906.22. The Shanghai composite gained 8.48 points, or 0.27 percent, to 3,169.01 while the Shenzhen composite added 23.62 points, or 1.29 percent, to 1,853.72. Japan's Nikkei 225 rose 295.22 points, or 1.4 percent, to 21,454.30 while the Topix added 12.30 points, or 0.72 percent, to 1,716.30. In South Korea, the Kospi rose 9.48 points, or 0.39 percent, to 2,445.85. Fears of a trade war between the United States and China appeared to ease this week and some analysts said they're confident the two countries will negotiate a deal. (see detailed report on the "trade war" between US and China in FuninUSA) Commented by the analyst Mike Dong in FuninUSA, the initial market response to President Trump's proposed tariffs on China was an overreaction. It's predicted that China and the US will eventually reach a negotiated solution both in terms of trade and investment restrictions. Since it needs time for things to be done, the market nervousness around this issue will linger for a while. [link] [comments]  |
| Anyone here gamble with biotech stocks? Thinking about buying in on RIGL Posted: 31 Mar 2018 09:23 AM PDT Rigel Pharmaceuticals is awaiting PDUFA signoff on their fostamatinib drug mid-April. Tempted to play this and see if pays off. Chances look good since FDA OKed all of their clinical trial results despite the fact that phase 2 had a noticeable fuckup, and there is ~90% institutional ownership which sounds like they think it's a slam dunk. However this stock did crash to $3.50 when it was hovering around $4.50 before. Thoughts? [link] [comments]  |
| Can some please ELI5 Options to me? Particularly puts. Posted: 31 Mar 2018 08:39 AM PDT Hi all, I need just a quick explanation on puts and how, under what conditions I can be profitable buying a specific put for a specific date. Or rather, which put I should buy, given my prediction for price action over the coming months. Basically, I'm of the belief that a crash is fairly likely in the next year, let's not get into that particular debate but let's just assume this is my mindset. I want to buy puts on such over-valued gems as NFLX and TSLA and maybe FB and TWTR and GOOG given the recent FUD on those names and the potential crash I see. But I can't figure out which option to buy and will be profitable at the time closer to expiry if said crash does happen. Let's just do NFLX as I can extrapolate my belief systems about the others and pick the proper puts once I figure this out. So I suspect NFLX will be sub $200 by next January. I want to buy puts that will be very profitable next January if indeed we see NFLX sub $200. So, should I be looking at the strike price primarily? Obviously I'm looking at January 2019 puts right now. I see $200 strike price, the premium is $9.50ish right now. So what does that mean, like if I buy that option for $9.50, under what conditions will I be profitable come next January or come the crash say if it hits in June or September or whenever if it is well ahead of January? I know I should probably not buy puts if this stuff isn't clear to me, I have not purchased any and I won't until I am clear on this stuff. This is what I'm trying to do. So let's just look at a few January 2019 NFLX puts, and can you guys explain the various conditions that may take place for that put to be profitable? $200 strike, $9.50 premium $150 strike, $4.20 premium $100 strike, $0.70 premium And if I wanna go real YOLO with maybe just a few contracts. $50 strike, $0.15 premium. Or is it easier for me to just say, NFLX, January 2019, if it is $175ish at the time (my belief is it could be there abouts by then) which put should I buy today for the best return? If I get the $200 put for example, and by January 2019 NFLX is $150, then that's bad and I lose either way? Or do I win simply because NFLX is significantly lower then than it is now? This is kinda where my confusion is laying right now. The plan is probably not to hold until expiry, just hold until it is a highly profitable position, or I guess until what? NFLX reaches the strike price or lower? Then I can exercise for profits? See this is where I'm getting confused here...I'm just not sure, for all of these puts, just how low NFLX has to go for them to become highly profitable positions whether via trading, or via exercising. If NFLX falls to $240 in the next month, do we expect to see really any rise in the $50 strike price options, for example? Damn options are confusing, I think I get calls a bit more. Like You get a $300 call for $45.58, if by January 2019 NFLX is $345.58 or higher and the option expires, you can buy NFLX shares for $300 + the $45.58 you paid for the option so you are profitable to some extent or another, like if NFLX is $400 you've profited over $50 per share if exercised, I get that, that seems pretty straight forward. But puts are confusing me a bit more, and I'm currently looking bearish, so I want puts not calls of course. Thanks so much whoever takes the time to read and explain to an options noob like myself. :) Also do I really need to worry about covered calls? What exactly is that compared to just "calls"? And are there covered puts? Or a "covered call" equivalent in puts? Thank you :) [link] [comments]  |
| Favorite Pharmaceutical Company Which Pays Dividends? Posted: 30 Mar 2018 10:34 PM PDT Right now i'm looking into JNJ and ABBV. My biggest concern with ABBV is that over 50% over their revenue is derived from Humira. What are your favorite public companies and what are you holding in this sector? [link] [comments]  |
| Line Chart --- but without close/open connections Posted: 30 Mar 2018 05:11 PM PDT Some years ago, there was a wonderful way to view stocks which was basically a line chart, but one in which the close price of one day wasn't connected to the open price of the following day, and as a result the stock's progress for the month was visible as a series of line segments rather than one continuous line. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1TPZnPl6fHG2xXkJnLWxhLtd5tRysZ8Vb Does anyone know of any current tool for viewing stocks this way?

"increased its parcel rates, Amazon's shipping costs would rise by $2.6 Billion." This Post Office scam must stop. Amazon must pay real costs (and taxes) now!

| What are the most risky derivative trades? Posted: 30 Mar 2018 04:16 PM PDT I think the least risky is writing a put or selling a put, but I want to have a list from the least risky to the most risky of all of the derivative trades with a brief explanation. I just want to know for curiosity-sake, I am only planning to use write puts to buy attractive stocks at an attractive price. [link] [comments]  |
