    Stocks - If you're new here, read this post first!


    If you're new here, read this post first!

    First, welcome to /r/stocks and congratulations on taking steps to better your financial future.

    Before you make a post asking for advice or basic information, please consider these suggestions:

    1. Take a look through our wiki as a ton of info (or links leading to info) that people normally ask for can already be found there. This includes everything from the basics of what a stock is and how to buy stocks online to how to analyze a company as a potential investment.

    2. Join our chat room where basic questions can be answered instantly without the need to make a new post and wait for responses. With 70 users on during peak times, there is probably someone around to help you, though this is more likely during trading hours (9:30am - 4pm EDT).

    3. Use the search function as many questions you have were probably asked in the past.

    After doing the above, we understand you may still have questions and will want help with your personal situation rather than simply reading about other people's situations. However, lately we've been receiving numerous low-quality posts along the lines of: "Hi. I'm new to stocks. How do I start?" Please note these types of posts may now be deleted without warning. With the very large and obvious links all around the subreddit directing users to the wiki, there is no reason anyone should be making these types of posts.

    If you wish to make a post asking for guidance through the market/investing/stocks, please add detail about your current financial situation and the specific topics you need assistance with. Some questions that should be considered are: how old are you?, what is your income?, are you in debt?, what is your risk tolerance?, how many years of experience (or not) do you have?, how much capital will you be starting with?, do you have money in savings?, what topics have you read about and what do you still not understand?, are there any companies in particular you wish to invest in?, what kind of learning material are you interested in (e.g. books, articles, videos, websites)?, are you trying to generate an income from the market or just plan for retirement?, etc.

    Generic posts do not give anyone insight into your personal situation and thus no meaningful advice can be given to you. As such, these posts will be deleted as they are of low quality and do not contribute to the subreddit.

    tl;dr: If you would like people to put time into providing thorough advice for you, you need to put time into providing a thorough insight into your current situation. Generic, bare-bones, and low-effort posts will be removed.

    You should also consider flairing your post as "Advice Request" or "Question" once posted so that it stands out to other users. Normally I flair all posts on my own when I can, but you can expedite the process by flairing your own post to make it more noticeable.

    .96c dividend trading at 94.50 with massive growth potential. Recent phase 2 failure hurt but this seems like a steal right now In the 90s for the long term. Shocked it hasn't bounced back over 100 yet

    Dividends & stock price

    Posted: 29 Mar 2018 11:59 PM PDT

    When a special cash dividend is announced, the stock price will generally rise by approximately the value of the dividend, and then decrease by about the same amount at the ex-dividend date, correct? Doesn't this fail to account for the decrease in cash on the company's balance sheet? Does this hold true for regular cash dividends as well? For example, if a company has been paying a $0.20 dividend for years and there's no expectation that will change any time soon, would that be priced into the stock, meaning no increase at announcement? And would the stock price then decrease by $0.20 at the ex-dividend date, or would it remain steady?

    We all know that just taking advice from "experts" (Jim Cramer, etc.) isn't smart for picking stocks, but when was a time you guys listened and got lucky?

    Posted: 30 Mar 2018 10:16 AM PDT

    I've always been curious to see if people that actually went ahead with a stock pick/speculative purchase suggested by media figures actually came out ahead. It doesn't even have to be media, it could even be a passing mention from friends or family.

    Long term investing - is it really worth to wait for correction? How much we can lose by doing this?

    Posted: 30 Mar 2018 09:03 AM PDT

    Hey!

    Currently I'm still in process of thinking, if it's right time or not to buy stocks. I've been waiting for correction so long, that I missed a lot of opportunities, like great yearly return by investing barely in S&P ETF. Instead, I had small lose. That makes me sad. What's more, somewhere today I saw some recommendation about best stocks to invest for long term. Among shares I saw Tencent, which I have never took a look at. And I googled it and watched chart:

    https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/0700/charts?countrycode=hk

    They were kind of unstoppable, raising from 1 HKG to more than 400 HKG. Anytime you bought it during current bull market, you would be happy. So do you think it's worth to wait if you plan to buy value stocks or you will be happy no matter what, if you really buy value.

    Thanks!

    Losses of 100k+

    Posted: 30 Mar 2018 10:01 AM PDT

    Anyone here lost over 100k+ in a year? Would love your perspective on how you handled the situation. Were you able to get Section 475 Mark-to-Market tax treatment successfully? Did you have any trouble getting a loan for a home purchase in the future based on your unstable asset / tax statements? Any additional details would be entertaining and informative!

    I wanna dump some money in a long term stock. MSFT, DIS, or TCEHY?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2018 06:22 PM PDT

    I see all three as good options for outlook in 10-20 years. DIS probably the lowest in risk and upside, MSFT in the middle, and TCHEY the highest for risk and upside.

    Would love opinions - or what you're looking at for a long term hold because you have faith in the company!

    Study: high volatility is actually bullish for the stock market

    Posted: 29 Mar 2018 03:52 PM PDT

    The stock market has been very volatile recently. Contrary to popular belief, high volatility is a short term bearish sign but a medium term BULLISH sign for the stock market

    All stocks moving up and down together

    Posted: 29 Mar 2018 07:18 PM PDT

    I started trading last year and have never been in a bear market before. What I've noticed is that all the stocks tend to move up and down together regardless of their individual merits and fundamentals (what is the point of diversification). I'm currently invested in a stock that I really believe in and is undervalued, but if the overall market goes into correction, there really isn't any point in holding no matter the value of the company. Anyone have any insight?

    Posted: 30 Mar 2018 05:42 AM PDT

    I'm looking for US/UK/Euro listed stock that have direct exposure to a specific country. In this case South Africa.

    How would I go about finding those?

    Not interested in ETFs. Actual stock with big direct exposure.

    Best I can come up with is looking at dual listed shares, but wondering if there is a better way. Ideas?

    Facebook Stock, And Others Like It, Far Over-Valued - Is It Just Me?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2018 10:35 PM PDT

    Facebook makes money by selling information about it's users to marketers. With the recent revelation that Facebook is being overly generous with the data it has collected, it has taken a slight downturn with folks realizing the amount of data they have and the applications it's being put to use toward are less than innocent.

    I've always seen companies whose value is it's user-base as far over valued. So I'm going to be biased here, but serious question...

    How are you justifying the Facebook stock making even a bit of a comeback, or even being over the share price of their IPO, when they seemingly need to stop doing what makes them money in order to stay relevant?

    Better to focus on a sector or search multiple sectors for a discount?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2018 07:25 PM PDT

    I am trying to get more serious into investing and was wondering if I should continue looking for discounts all over the market or truly focus on a sector I can understand and master?

    If stock invests in a companies equity, how do you invest in their debt?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2018 07:35 PM PDT

    So from what I understand of investing, a company's assets is paid for in part by debt and equity. A company divies out shares of their equity as stock. How would one invest in their debt? What are the downfalls of debt investment? Constant returns vs a potential growth in the company (as is the case with stock shares/equity investment)?
