    For those that are Dollar cost averaging

    When do you typically set your buy ? Are you buying the indices ? Or individual stocks

    Edit: looks like it's mostly based on paydays So are there typically patterns for which days of the week or month that stocks are historically lower ... even if it's a tiny variance it's still something

    3000% increase for life saving drug. How will this effect the companies stock?

    Posted: 10 Mar 2018 09:00 PM PST

    http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/health/second-opinion-procysbi-cystagon-march10-1.4570152

    I skimmed this article (linked above) and as a fairly new investor I was wondering what this will do to the companies stock who makes this drug. The company has now increased the price of the drug 3000% and it is a crucial drug to many who suffer from this disease. I really havnt looked into the company or anything.(Horizon Pharma). I was hoping someone could compare it to past similar situations or have some type of prediction. Again, just a new investor wondering how this will effect the SP of a company that does this.

    Can two companies jointly acquire a single company? (AMD/Intel/Nvidia)

    Posted: 11 Mar 2018 12:52 PM PDT

    There are some rumors that AMD is going to be selling their GPU business to Intel, while NVidia acquires the x86 side of the business. Is something like this theoretically possible for publicly traded stocks? Has anything like this ever happened before?

    I've never heard of anything like this so was just wondering if it was even possible. I believe there would be some agreements that would need to be made about x86 transfer to Nvidia.

    biotech/pharma stocks?

    Posted: 11 Mar 2018 05:24 AM PDT

    Do most of biotech/pharma companies get seriously overvalued during development phase or simply lack real profit? Several stocks, for instance the $VCEL and $PSTI, both had prices reached several hundreds and now around $10, that is despite they're closing to success (with proof not empty words) and $VCEL even has approved products.

    Also the performance of Virtus LifeSci Biotech Products ETF is much lower than Virtus LifeSci Biotech Clinical Trials ETF - almost one third only! Shouldn't their price soar once products are finally approved and they start to earn real money?

    Please be careful (cross post)

    Posted: 11 Mar 2018 03:06 PM PDT

    *I already posted this over in the investing subreddit but I just wanted to caution and stress to everyone the importance of doing your own research and due diligence with investing on this subreddit as well.

    Hi everyone,

    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.

    Are you making any moves between now and the March rate hike?

    Posted: 11 Mar 2018 01:18 PM PDT

    Thinking of selling a few positions after the recent rally and going more to cash as I anticipate the market will tumble a bit. However I'm not sure if the hike is fully priced in already. Any thoughts?

    Pay off mortgage, or invest in stocks?

    Posted: 10 Mar 2018 08:29 PM PST

    Im Interested if this sub share the same advice as investing, maybe I can just admit im wrong.

    Right now I have about 70k dollars. I owe 80k on my Mortgage. 50k is in my Merrill Lynch account, with 20k in checking and I have a credit card through BOA as well.

    I only have about 15k invested in stocks and 10k in stock derived ETFs. I also have 15k invested in ETFs that track short term maturity bonds, ones with almost no volatility like 13k in MINT and 2k in SCHZ. 10k I have in cash for when I see investment opportunities but Im thinking about throwing more of that into MINT cause why not. It only makes me like $20 a month, just slightly more than a savings account does. The only reason I use MINT and not a savings is I can get like 30 free trades a month by having over $50k with BOA(who owns Merrill lynch) so getting free trades is far better than putting it all in savings, like through Ally savings or the likes. It also increases the rewards on my credit card by quite a bit so im getting another $20-30 a month on just over $1k of spending. (CC is paid off every month obviously)

    Im curious if the sub thinks im taking unnecessary risks by even investing at all? I feel like investing in stocks helped get me to where I am at right now, so pulling out 100% would be quite boring. Ive already halved some of my investments and liquidated a few others to switch over to ETFs and try to minimize risk. Today I made about $350 only on a very strong day for example while having it all in SPY would have made me $870. Much less volatile.

    Right now my goal is to make it to 82k total then completely liquidate and transfer it all to checking, get a payoff quote, and then pay off my mortgage.

    Since I will be quite poor. I will quickly build an emergency fund and make sure I have enough to pay my property taxes, dividends, and capital gains next tax season(I claim 0 which will help). Finally next year I start up again with my new investment strategy, long term dollar cost averaging. I will probably have to switch to (free broker RH) as well because I will lose my free trades otherwise.

    What the market does will affect how long it takes for me to have enough to pay off my mortgage. It could be as soon as next month if we rocketship past our previous highs(I get a $3k bonus in April) or it could take till the end of the year if things get really ugly. If I liquidate now I wont have enough till possibly October.

    Info I left out 26 years left @ 3.5%. Not enough interest for me to file itemized deductions so I dont even save 25% on it in taxes.

    TLDR: Are my current goals of saving up to pay off my mortgage with a split of stocks and bond etfs good, or should I sell my stocks now and put $60k in MINT which will only get me $100 a month almost risk free(same as savings pretty much)?

    [Discussion] Thoughts on China's recent removal on presidential term limits?

    Posted: 11 Mar 2018 09:37 AM PDT

    Over the weekend, China had approved the removal of term limits for its leader, in a move that effectively allows Xi Jinping to remain as president for life.

    How does everyone think this will affect the stock market? Will China's recent growth in tech stocks continue? What about censorship and social media? Will this affect anything market wise in the short or long term?

    What are your thoughts? Just trying to get a discussion going here.

    Is Amazon more vulnerable to a crash because they are in so many different industries?

    Posted: 11 Mar 2018 01:03 AM PST

    I've just read an article that Amazon is moving into the banking industry. And only recently they announced that they are moving into the healthcare industry.
    With so many different areas they're in, they naturally also have a lot more competitors.
    Does that make them more susceptible to a crash, because they have more cost centers?
    Or does that make them less susceptible, because they have more different income sources?

    Deterred by high short interest

    Posted: 11 Mar 2018 09:16 AM PDT

    As an investor, do you allow yourself to get deterred by a high (20% or more) short interest? I've been following $WATT as a highly speculative play but one (of many) reasons I haven't bought a few shares is the high short interest. The late 2017 bump leaves me feeling this could be subject to a squeeze but also that if over 20% of the shares are shorted that feels like a red flag.

    Bloomberg Radio

    Posted: 11 Mar 2018 09:06 AM PDT

    I like to listen to the Sunday shows on Bloomberg radio. I used to just say "Alexa, play Bloomberg radio" and she would go to the Boston station, which is what I want. Now I get the Bay Area. I haven't switched any settings. Has this happened to anyone or can you help me fix? Thanks.

    Can the entry and exit point be properly done using Market Depth ?

    Posted: 10 Mar 2018 07:55 PM PST

    Hi guys, I have a doubt whether this is really possible. I found a video in youtube saying that we can choose proper entry and exit price using Market depth. https://youtu.be/3atD0cam1rg

    According to that video, based on the High Volume Node on the Market depth the Price will obviously come to the HVN before making any big move.

    What steps do you take proactively to protect the gains?

    Posted: 10 Mar 2018 07:36 PM PST

    What steps do you take proactively to protect the gains of your stock to lose it all due to sudden change?

    One of the ways it can be done is to set up alerts to be received your phone on things that you prompts you to take action before things get worse.

    One of my wishlists is to get notified 5 days, 2 days before earning happens and post earning[if i decide to hold] alert me if stocks start dropping. Curious to know what people have done or wished they could do?

    A great strategy for stock investment: refuse chase sell!

    Posted: 11 Mar 2018 01:09 AM PST

    Recently, Hurun Global Rich List revealed the new globally richest man globally of 2018—Jeff Bezos, the founder of the Amazon. He successfully becomes the top of the list with his Amazon stocks of millions of shares.

    A $10,000 bet on Amazon at the market bottom 9 years ago would be worth $250,000 today. Bezos is obviously one of the biggest beneficiaries after the bull market beginning nine years ago.

    In 2009, when the S&P 500 hit its closing low during the financial crisis, buying the stock of Amazon would earn the investor 25 times the capital for each share. Investing in popular tech name Nvidia would have yielded even bigger returns. Investors who bet $10,000 on the chipmaker back then would have more than $300,000 today. Between the market bottom and now, Nvidia rose more than 2,700 percent.

    The examples above, therefore, well illustrate how sometimes the best time to buy is when others are most fearful. Though we, investors, couldn't actually call the market bottom and buy some quality stocks at those exact levels, we could still learn some experience and try to enter the market in a relatively good price.
