    Stock Market - Turning 18 on Friday. Planning on sticking my toes in the stock market


    Turning 18 on Friday. Planning on sticking my toes in the stock market

    Posted: 30 May 2018 07:52 AM PDT

    Hey there Reddit community. As the title explains I am turning 18 and plan on experiencing the highs and lows of the stock market. Fear not for I am not entering with a " get rich quick mentality ". Nor am I coming in with the mindset to double or triple my money. I am simply just amazed at some of the communities formed from the stock market such as this one. If I make an extra $20 or $30 from NKE or DIS then hey guess who's treating themselves to ice creme :). I plan on becoming somewhat active to the best of my ability and would love for any advice from the veterans to the intermediates. I plan on starting off by using Robinhood but am willing to try different sites. Please fill free to comment any extra stuff I should know.... again I repeat I am not here with a get rich quick mentality nor do I expect to double or triple my money. I just want to be able to say been there done that. Thanks in advance!

    Index equity returns over the last 10 years

    Posted: 30 May 2018 05:37 AM PDT

    Graph of this issue: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DeXoo5cW0AETM00.jpg

    US: +139% Germany: +20% France: +15% UK: +15% Spain: -20% Italy: -37%

    The S&P 500 has nearly tripled (up 194% to be exact) since its low point on March 9, 2009. The surge reflects America's recovery from the Great Recession.

    Yet the bull run has slowed considerably, especially in 2016. Stocks started the year with a scary plunge that was fueled by fears of a new global recession and worries about the downsides of cheap oil. Some even feared the bull market was near its death bed.

    "The more fun part of the bull market is probably over," said Russ Koesterich, global chief investment strategist at BlackRock. "It doesn't mean stocks can't advance. But the gains are going to be more muted -- and accompanied by more volatility."

    Still, the market freakout of 2016 highlights the serious challenges facing the bull market as it grows older.

    After soaring 30% in 2013 and 11% the next year, the S&P 500 was basically flat in 2015. Not only has the market stopped smashing records, it's down 7% from its May all-time highs.

    Seven may not sound very old, but in stock-market years it's practically senior-citizen status. Only two bulls have lived longer, led by the nine-year run that ended in March 2000.

    "Time to buy the bull an AARP membership," jokes Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indexes.

    In some ways, this bull market anniversary should carry an asterisk. That's because the record books may actually need to be amended if a bear market (20% decline from previous highs) happens soon.

    Do you think the US stock market will continue to outperform the european stock market?

    LOO vs Limit

    Posted: 30 May 2018 05:40 PM PDT

    I'm trying to understand the benefit of a limit-on-open vs simply placing a limit order. If for example you place a limit order to sell at 6c/share vs a LOO order to sell at 6c/share what's the difference? I understand if the order isnt filled at open it is cancelled but why do this? Why not just place a limit order to sell at 6c and if it reaches 6c throughout the day youll get your limit price?! I don't know if I make sense, hope so! or a LOC limit on close for selling I guess for the matter

    What is the deal with CBTWF, all signs would point that the legalization of marijuana would make this sky rocket and it has skyrocket the other way and almost lost 33% over the last 5 months. Thanks

    Why is Skechers trading on a forward PE of 12 after Q1 revenues and earnings grew 16% and 25% respectively?

    Posted: 30 May 2018 11:15 AM PDT

    The company plans to grow earnings by 50% over the next 3 years which seems reasonable since they grew them 75% between 2015-17. But the stocks down 30% in the past month.

    Share's reduced?

    Posted: 29 May 2018 08:58 PM PDT

    Forgive the completely newbie question. I bought 20 shares of Curis a few weeks ago. Today, I now have 4 shares, and "this stock is temporarily untradeable." I assume these two things are related, but can someone break down what happened?

    I assume this is what happened, but as a newbie to all this stuff, I'm just trying to be clear in my understanding of what is happening. This is a bad thing for the stock right?
