    Whether you like it or not, we may have a trade war. Are there any winners on the stock market if that happens?

    Netflix has officially surpassed 300 today ��

    Posted: 02 Mar 2018 04:17 PM PST

    Anybody else long on $NFLX?

    As everyone joins the cable cutting movement, I believe Netflix is going to keep on growing. With their firm investment in new shows, I don't see anything stopping them. Although I curious what Disney will offer.

    What are credit spreads?

    Posted: 03 Mar 2018 12:30 PM PST

    From 'Too Big to Fail':

    The commercial banks, who become scared and start deleveraging cause consumer borrowing to contract, which will push out credit spreads.

    Thoughts on IEMG (emerging market index heavy on China and India)?

    Posted: 03 Mar 2018 12:21 PM PST

    Europe seems to just follow the S&P, so for really diversification I'm thinking IEMG.

    Posted: 03 Mar 2018 11:27 AM PST

    I'm a noob, bought my first two shares of GE for $14.02. Do you think GE is a good long term investment? Any other stocks to look out for?

    You guys know of any informative youtube channels that could help me learn about the fundamentals? Or even channels that talk about their own portfolio and what stocks they like currently?

    What is the cheapest API that will allow me to obtain historical data for the London Stock Exchange (FTSE 100, 250, 350)?

    Posted: 03 Mar 2018 12:45 AM PST

    I want to get historical stock price information for a development project idea I have. Specifically, I want to get data for the London Stock Exchange (FTSE 100, 250 & 350).

    I don't mind paying for this, but I want to limit my costs.

    I found Intrinio by searching this sub, but it costs $50 a month, which is a little steep for me right now.

    I've looked at scraping Yahoo, but the data is incomplete (very, very incomplete). I also considered scraping Google Finance, but I don't want to risk getting my IP address blocked, as I want daily price information for each company on the FTSE 350 going back a couple of years.

    Any suggestions?

    I made a subreddit specifically for those of us interested in active investing.

    Posted: 03 Mar 2018 01:00 PM PST

    A lot of the readers on this subreddit choose to go with a variation of an indexing and risk parity strategy for their investing, which is great. However, as someone who is interested in taking a more active approach, it would be nice to have a place to talk specifically about strategy without getting into a debate about passive versus active or some variation thereof.

    I made a subreddit specifically for active management of portfolios and I'm hoping to have more conversation about specific strategies with whomever would like to do the same. If you're an indexer and just want to talk about strategy because you enjoy it, that's fine too. I only ask that any conversation about strategy does not devolve into active versus passive unless that is the topic of the thread.

    Mods, hopefully you do not see this as a competitive subreddit, and rather view it as a sub with a more narrow focus on active management.

    How the Trump tariffs may actually cause a recession, when? That depends

    Posted: 03 Mar 2018 08:45 AM PST

    I thought my comment would be more appropriate for a whole post, I believe not many people, including the Trump administration are not aware of the full repercussions of the tariffs.

    (Copying and pasting from my other post.)

    If someone is aware of basic economics they will realise that no one wins a trade war. I will try to make this short, brief, detailed, and easy to understand. This is a fairly easy concept but it seems as Trump and his administration haven't thought this out. Tarrifs would have chains reactions that would brutally affect us and allies/other countries

    • A trade war isn't that straight forward and will have a chain reaction felt globally
    • An example of the previously mentioned (chain reaction & not-fully-though-out detail) would be the trade deficit that Trump outcries.
    • The U.S. federal debt is getting bigger and bigger (currently $21 trillion) and could become $1 trillion more by next year.
    • The rising amount of debt the U.S. has, could lead to a hike in interest rates, because the U.S. Treasury would have to offer higher interest rates to borrow more money.
    • This would increase the cost of borrowing for consumers and businesses - including mortgage rates - seeing as the interest rates track government bonds
    • What happens when the cost of borrowing for American businesses rises? The businesses can't grow as easily and quickly, and they will also have to offset the cost to borrow by raising the prices of their own products.
    • Consumers of the products would have to pay more, the businesses would not make a profit/less profit if consumers can't afford the products.
    • The biggest buyer of U.S. debt is China, it owns more than $1 trillion of our debt (government bonds).
    • The reason why China is the biggest provider of the money we borrow is because of the trade deficit were in (which the president outcries).
    • The trade deficit we're in is an incentive for countries like China to finance our debt because they have something to do with the extra-cash they get from the deficit.
    • If this trade gap shrinks, China and other countries won't have much of an incentive to buy our government bonds anymore and that could make interest rates rise significantly (again, because interest rates of things like mortgages, etc tend to follow the interest rates of government bonds)

    Understood? Good, now take a look at what would happen.

    • If/when the Fed raises rates, tons of foreign cash will flow into the U.S. bond market because of the higher interest rates.
    • Because of this, the dollar will rise compared to other currencies.
    • When the dollar rises, this will raise the cost of U.S. exports and lower the price of things we import.
    • Corporate profits will decline, leading companies to do multiple unfortunate things such as laying off workers, etc. therefore U.S. stock market will decline. (There will be no more earnings beats, investors will expect negative of the companies, EPS will decrease, lesser/no more dividends, no more share buybacks, etc)

    If you made it through, well, be happy, because the tarrifs haven't even passed yet. This may be quite a ride from here though.

    EEM vs VWO

    Posted: 03 Mar 2018 09:43 AM PST

    I'm about to sell half of my GE stock (been holding for over 20 years, but want to see more growth with that money) and reinvest in VGT and either EEM (expense ratio = .69%) or VWO (expense ratio = .14%). It is for long-term growth (20+ years) so I'm a bit more inclined to go with the lower expense ratio of VWO, but I wanted to gather some other thoughts on the matter before going in.

    Swallowing my pride

    Posted: 03 Mar 2018 10:25 AM PST

    Okay, so. I started trading for the first time this January, and now my account is down 3% overall. I know this is considered miniscule to a lot of people, but I'm not happy with my performance even though I have been learning a lot in the process.

    What I'm hoping/looking for is someone who may be open to keeping in contact with me and sharing strategies and suggestions. I'm not asking for a handout and I don't want to be told which stocks to buy. I want help learning and understanding technical analysis better and becoming disciplined enough to pull consistent profits.

    I'm looking to learn about swing trading and shorter term holding more than anything right now.

    So if you consider yourself to be a consistently profitable trader and have been trading for several years, and would be open to talking with me I would appreciate any comments or direct messages. Thanks guys!

    $MNST potentially great dip buying opportunity

    Posted: 02 Mar 2018 04:02 PM PST

    Hey all!

    Just wanted to get your thoughts on $MNST (Monster Energy Drink). So for the past year MNST has been an absolute beast. The stock has been trading sideways. Yesterday after their earnings were released they took a massive tumble. Down something like 13%. Their earnings were concerning because they failed to generate growth. However, the company still has a huge margin (62.9%) But they are a little overvalued with a fP/E of 39. I wouldn't encourage anyone to buy just because it's on "sale". There are tons of profitable companies that are undervalued. The thing that makes this an attractive investment in the short term for me is that they just announced a $250 million buy back. This alone could make for a very profitable short term gain, along with the fact that it took a huge dip.

    Would love to hear your thoughts, and of course.. Your criticisms.

    Thanks!

    Cheers
