| NYT: "Investment Boom From Trump’s Tax Cut Has Yet to Appear" Posted: 01 May 2018 08:37 AM PDT NY Times article which admits that short term data won't tell the whole tale. What do you think - long-term investment as touted or stock buy-back/automation implementation? [link] [comments]  |
| Apple Q1 Earnings: $2.73 vs. $2.67 EPS expected Posted: 01 May 2018 01:31 PM PDT Revenue: $61.1 billion vs. $60.82 billion expected by Thomson Reuters consensus iPhone unit sales: 52.2 million vs. 52.54 million expected by a StreetAccount estimate Apple said it would be increasing dividends 16 percent to 73 cents per share.

| Do you use the Leading Economic Indicators Index at all? Posted: 01 May 2018 04:34 PM PDT Came across this image from this article. I'm curious if anyone uses this information/approach at all? Would this be more technical? They do note: " In the near term, following trends makes sense, but when investing for decades, you can do the opposite of major equity price swings."

| What are your thoughts on $MTCH Down 22% on Facebook dating app reveal? Time to buy? Posted: 01 May 2018 04:13 PM PDT $MTCH owns OKcupid, tinder, and plentyoffish.com. All of these dating services have proven themselves over time. Facebook says they want the dating app to be used to find serious relationships. Not for hookups. If that is the case and the users stick to that. Then Facebook is only competing against one of the companies that MTCH owns. Also, if you look at the stocks past and earnings that have been doing very well since their inception. I know this isn't an indication of future success outright, but I think it shows that they have what is needed to succeed. They already have tremendously. Also, I think a 22% drop is crazy when Facebook hasn't even released their service yet. We don't even have a release date yet. (that I can find at least). For all we know, this won't even be released for another year. Even then it may be in beta for awhile. A 22% drop is massive considering it is based a lot on speculation. [link] [comments]  |
| What are the dangers of a market over-crowded with passive investors? Posted: 01 May 2018 08:53 AM PDT Just read an interesting article discussing the dangers of a market warning about the dangers of a consolidated tech industry and the rise of passive investment. Of course this is the argument all active traders make as they bill you for huge fees. Are these dangers warranted and if so how can one guard against them without getting killed with active trader fees.

| Daily advice thread. All questions about your personal situation should be asked here Posted: 01 May 2018 05:05 AM PDT 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

| Can someone explain how products like UVXY continue to exist? Posted: 01 May 2018 11:08 PM PDT If there are no inflows into this fund, it will trend towards $0 because of decay. However, there have been inflows into it (to the tune of $4 billion since 2012). Who exactly is willingly putting money into this? It just seems like a form of wealth distribution to futures contract sellers. [link] [comments]  |
| Question about insider trading. Posted: 01 May 2018 05:04 PM PDT If I have a family member who is on the board of directors of a large publicly traded company, and I notice at a family event that he seems sad or distraught, and so I ask him why he's sad, and he says he can't tell me. Would it be insider trading if I shorted his company's stock because I take the risk that his sadness is related to the company perhaps preforming poorly behind closed doors? Or even another situation where my personal knowledge of how he acts when hes sad or pretending not to be sad allows me to tell when hes sad or pretending to not be sad during a public hearing about the company which then allows me to predict whether or not the company is doing well behind closed doors. Would that be insider trading? [link] [comments]  |
| Former Autonomy CFO convicted for fraud Posted: 01 May 2018 07:41 AM PDT https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-jury-convicts-former-autonomy-cfo-of-fraud-in-h-p-deal-1525134860 HP acquired a company that was effectively non-existent. For years, Mike Lynch, the CEO of Autonomy, claimed there was no merit to the case and an investigation against him in the UK was actually dropped (in what is probably a coincidence, he is/was an adviser to the Govt). Indicative of the level of self-delusion going on here, Lynch has actually sued for HP for damages...which now seems illjudged. Autonomy was also heavily shorted (it was not particularly hard to see their accounts were fictitious) and, in the UK at least, it was a fairly contentious story as Lynch was thought to be one of the UK's leading tech entrepreneurs (he also has an OBE, the second highest honour that the UK govt issues). HP are suing to get their money back. [link] [comments]  |
| FTC challenges Lending Club’s “No Hidden Fees” claims - $LC Posted: 01 May 2018 08:47 AM PDT According to a lawsuit filed by the FTC, Lending Club, which bills itself as "the world's largest online marketplace connecting borrowers and investors," attracts prospective borrowers with direct mail pieces, online ads, and even paid blog posts touting that the loans come with "no hidden fees." For example, as a Lending Club-created paid-for post on a credit website promises, "Once you're approved, your money goes straight into your account, with no hidden fees." But as the complaint alleges, consumers are in for a surprise when they learn that what goes "straight into [their] account" is not the total represented during the online application process as the "Loan Amount." Instead, what they get is an amount reduced by hundreds or thousands of dollars. That's because Lending Club takes a hefty portion of the Loan Amount up front as an origination fee.

| Posted: 01 May 2018 09:39 PM PDT I'm 27 and a travel nurse. I have 30k I want to invest that's just sitting around. No debt or anything. Sometimes I take a couple months off work so I have money set aside for that. I dont have any retirement set up. Since I'm a travel nurse and switch agencies every 3 to 5 weeks, some agencies match 401ks, some dont. What do you think would be the best for me to invest in? Thanks in advance! [link] [comments]  |
| Options, futures and other derivatives book by John Hull Posted: 01 May 2018 08:37 AM PDT Is there a big difference between the old editions (1-2-3) which you can find for less than a pound, and the latest ones which are really expensive? I mean the fundamentals are probably the same right? What kind of extra information can justify such a gap? [link] [comments]  |
| Thoughts on this investing strategy? Posted: 02 May 2018 01:12 AM PDT I am curious what you guys think of the following approach:
4.1 (optional) If the stock goes down even further after you depleted your LOC, buy even more stocks using margins. Limit your margins to 20-30%. It is unlikely for the market to crash an addition 70-80%, especially when its already cheap. The nice thing about this strategy is that even if your timing is wrong and stocks drop even further, your'll never go bankrupt as long yields from your properties and dividends are enough to cover the interest. Your properties will also generate 5-7% return while you wait for the market to crash. [link] [comments]  |
| Are South Korean stocks a good play on a North Korean investment cycle? Posted: 01 May 2018 09:30 AM PDT With the market at a 9x P/E multiple it makes it interesting, however no certainty that Kim Jong-un will follow through... [link] [comments]  |

| Snapchat Q1 Earnings: ($0.17) EPS vs. ($0.17) EPS expected Posted: 01 May 2018 01:18 PM PDT Revenue: $230.7 million vs. $244.5 million, according to a Thomson Reuters consensus estimate Daily active users: 191 million vs. 194.2 million expected by a FactSet estimate Average revenue per user (ARPU): $1.21 vs. $1.27, per a FactSet estimate Snap shares plummeted up to 10 percent after the company missed revenue estimates in its latest quarterly report. Furthermore it looks like a rocky road ahead for the company, which said in prepared remarks its next quarter year-over-year revenue growth rate will "decelerate substantially" compared to this past quarter. Snap reported its Q1 earnings on Tuesday after the bell. Many of its issues may stem from a controversial redesign, which has upset some core users. The company said in November 2017 it planned to tweak Snapchat to make it easier for new people, especially older ones. However, changes have soured some longtime users on the platform. Some have started a Change.org petition to ask the company to revert back to the old version, while Snapchat power user Kylie Jenner tweeted in February she didn't open Snapchat anymore due to the tweaks, causing the stock to tumble 8 percent on the news. She has since returned to the platform. Redesign problems have persisted. In late April, the company said it would test another version of its redesign, leading to shares plunging as much as 9.5 percent the day after the after-hours announcement. One of the new updates would include moving friend stories back on the same tab as publisher and celebrity content -- which is what many previous users were asking for -- but with clear delineations. It's not all bad news for Snap. The advertising and businesses community seem to be embracing some of the changes Snapchat has made. Snap chief strategy officer Imran Khan said in prepared remarks advertising revenue hit $229 million during Q1, up 62 percent year over year. Chief financial officer Drew Vollero noted sales growth continues to outpace cost growth. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2018/05/01/snap-q1-2018-earnings-and-revenue.html [link] [comments]  |
| Small business investing... what is fair for both parties? Posted: 01 May 2018 08:44 PM PDT A good friend of mine is wanting to go into the gutter hanging business. He has previously been in the roofing business, which made over 750k for a couple of years. He got tired of it and sold it, but now wants to start a business hanging gutters. You need a "gutter machine" which bends the aluminum on site. Some old truck, a trailer, and the aluminum rolls for the machine to use. He lost big time in his divorce, and now doesn't have the means to buy the machine outright. He's got access to everything else, including employees to hang the gutters. But he doesn't have the $10k it costs to buy the gutter machine. I was thinking about being an investor for his gutter hanging startup, and purchasing the machine for him. Normally I'd be hesitant, but this man has pretty much the best work ethic I've ever seen. He's also run a successful business before, for 6 years. So there is no lack of investor confidence here. But what is fair for my end of the deal? I buy the machine and turn it over to him, and then... what? How do we sort out what is fair for a return on my investment? [link] [comments]  |
| Spectre and Meltdown security flaws: how dangerous are they?

How bad are the risks, what steps should be taken to mitigate? [link] [comments]  |
