    From Trump's twitter

    "Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump · 39m

    If the E.U. wants to further increase their already massive tariffs and barriers on U.S. companies doing business there, we will simply apply a Tax on their Cars which freely pour into the U.S. They make it impossible for our cars (and more) to sell there. Big trade imbalance!"

    Why doesn't the media refer to a more comprehensive stock market index when talking about market performance?

    Posted: 03 Mar 2018 10:42 PM PST

    I've always wondered why the DOW and SP500 are the standard metrics used to asses market performance in the media when it only encompasses a portion of the market. There have been days where my total stock market ETFs and funds such as Vanguard's VTI have been positive while the Dow/SP have been negative and vice versa. Wouldn't it make sense to look more at the total picture and reference indices such as the NYA or something similar that's more comprehensive?

    Daily advice thread. All questions about your personal situation should be asked here

    Posted: 04 Mar 2018 04:05 AM PST

    If your question is "I have $10,000, what do I do?" or anything similar. There is no single answer to this question, but we will also need A LOT MORE information if we are to give some sort of answer

    • How old are you?
    • Are you employed/making income? How much?
    • What are your objectives with this money? (buy a house? Retirement savings?)
    • What is your risk tolerance? (Do you mind risking it at blackjack or do you need to know its 100% safe?)
    • What are you current holdings? (Do you already have exposure to specific funds and sectors?)
    • Any other assets? House paid off? Cars? Expensive girlfriend? (not really an asset)
    • What is your time horizon? Do you need this money next month? Next 20yrs?
    • Any big debts?
    • Any other relevant financial information will be useful to give you a proper answer.

    Be aware that these answers are just opinions of Redditors and should be used as a starting point for your research. You should strongly consider seeing a registered financial rep before making any financial decisions!

    Does anyone else have trouble dissecting, 'The Smart Investor' as well?

    Posted: 04 Mar 2018 03:11 AM PST

    I'm having trouble understanding a lot of the book. This is the first book on investment I've read and have no prior commerce background. Should I just re-read it a second time after I've finished or tried another book?

    Do Trump’s proposed tariffs on steel and aluminum imports require congressional approval?

    Posted: 03 Mar 2018 07:52 AM PST

    This is more of a political question with huge market implications. Can Trump make these tariffs part of an executive order or do they need congressional cooperation to pass?

    Will Steel Tariffs Lead To High Inflation/Faster Interest Rate Hikes?

    Posted: 03 Mar 2018 04:07 PM PST

    I work for a steel fabrication company and we've been getting killed on steel prices since the end of 2017. If a tariff is enforced on steel then we'll really see steel prices skyrocket and we'll have to start charging our customers a lot more to make up for the costs. Our customers would then have to start charging THEIR customers more to make up for the increased price of capital expenditures.

    We're obviously not the only manufacturer who uses steel so does this mean steel tariffs would have a ripple effect of price increases throughout the entire economy?

    Would we see a large rise in inflation and then a huge bump in interest rates to follow? A faster-than-expected rate hike could really hurt stocks so could that mean that steel tariffs bring down the market?

    4% guaranteed return per year. Why shouldn't I do this?

    Posted: 03 Mar 2018 11:00 AM PST

    A family friend is trying to sell me life insurance. Death payout is $500k.

    If I don't die then my payout after 36 years is $246k. My premium is $404 per month. So that's $174k of initial investment. Sounds like a total return of 141% in total after 36 years. In any case I can take the money out at any time it's not locked in.

    Return is 4% guaranteed per year plus an extra 1-3% depending on the market.

    He said there are no management or advisor fees. He probably gets a commission but we didn't discuss this.

    He said it's such a good deal he got it for his kids when they were young.

    What am I missing? Why shouldn't I get this? How can 4% be guaranteed per year when 30 year Treasuries only yield 3.1% right now?

    EDIT: Total return is 41% not 141%, sorry for the incorrect calculation and thanks for correcting me.

    Was Thorsten Heins the worst CEO of the past decade?

    Posted: 03 Mar 2018 02:18 PM PST

    Botched launch of BB10, no strategy for enterprise, lack of passion and zeal, dumb corporate rebrand. Oh and don't forget the stock dump

    If you were planning to buy your first property during the next dip, how would you allocate your cash/equity/bonds etc.?

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

    Posted: 03 Mar 2018 10:00 AM 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.

    Give me the best books on starting

    Posted: 03 Mar 2018 06:36 PM PST

    I am planning on beginning investing within the first 2 years (if all goes accordingly with my plans), in the meantime I find it very important to soak up information from all sources before I become ready, including redditors and above all BOOKS. Best way to begin is to first know what I am doing! I need SIMPLE yet accurate books on everything investments. From properly analyzing stocks to understanding how they work. I need material specifically composed for starters who are just starting out. List your top 3 suggestions.

    Thanks and I apprechiate all recommendations!

    Is it a bad idea to pair long term investment equities with their competitors? (example: Buy Visa and Mastercard; Pepsi and Coke; Ford and GM)

    Posted: 03 Mar 2018 07:28 AM PST

    It seems, for long term investing, they usually seem to rise together.

    Why not just buy both?

    Is there a name for this kind of investing so I can research it more?

    Thoughts?

    If I wanted to invest some money and then walk away and ignore those investments for 20 years what would be the best way to do that so they are still accessible later?

    Posted: 03 Mar 2018 02:45 PM PST

    This is mostly theoretical but let's say I wanted to invest $25,000 in a small collection of stocks and then just walk away. Maybe I move out of the country or maybe I disconnect from the electric world and decide to live in a hut on a remote island. Whatever.

    If I plan on coming back and cashing in those stocks down the road what is the best way to buy them now? In the old days you bought paper stocks and just locked them up in a box. But with everything being electronic these days I'm sure they would close your account if you didn't access it for 20 years.

    So how does one buy long term investments these days that require no direct involvement after initial purchase?

    Is it truly possible to mimic another's portfolio?

    Posted: 03 Mar 2018 11:48 PM PST

    I've recently been reading a book by the founder of Bridgewater and have been interested to invest in a similar style, to the point where I don't mind just copying the Bridgewater portfolio. However, I was wanting to know: by looking at the NASDAQ holdings (https://www.nasdaq.com/quotes/institutional-portfolio/bridgewater-associates-lp-699510), or the somehow seemingly more complete Whalewisdom holdings (https://whalewisdom.com/filer/bridgewater-associates-inc#tabholdings_tab_link), is it possible to mimic their portfolio? Or would there be a significant amount of information missing from either of these two things?
