| Air France KLM shares down 13% after CEO quits Posted: 07 May 2018 12:40 AM PDT On Friday after employees rejected a proposal on salary raises, with labour unions demanding a faster raise, CEO Jean-Marc Janaillac resigned. This morning, French minister of Finance Bruno Le Maire said that the future of the airline is in doubt, and that the French government will not intervene in case of financial troubles. Strikes from mainly French employees of the airline have led to profits of the group to be vaporized. Financially, the Dutch part, KLM, has performed better than Air France. I don't think the French government will really let Air France disappear, but maybe a GM style 'reorganization', with investors losing all their money could be possible in the further future? And are there any major shareholders that would consider a demerger? note: I do not hold any shares in this company [link] [comments]  |
| Invest in an Index fund for now and pick individual stocks later? Posted: 07 May 2018 01:03 AM PDT Hi, I'm 30 Years of age and work a full time job earning $34,000 a year and saved a worthwhile portion of my wage during my decade of working. I've read: Rich Dad, Poor Dad, The Tao of Warren Buffet, Tony Robbins Money Master the Game, The Barefoot Invester, Fooled By Randomness, One up On Wallstreet and Building Wealth in the Stock Market. I did try the Intellgent Investor but it was too dry for me, although I think I can gain the gist of it. At this point, i'd like to get the compounding effect started as soon as possible since I'm not yet confident in picking any stocks yet. And I won't be needing the majority of my savings anytime within the next few years or more. I'm also thinking of doing this Youtubber's investing course: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnMn36GT_H0X-w5_ckLtlgQ/featured?disable_polymer=1 https://financial-education2.teachable.com/p/stock-market-investing-mastery Let's say I have $100,000 Is it worthwhile investing a large portion like 60% in Vanguard's SP500? Can I move that money out of said index fund and into individual stocks as I see fit whenever? In you best judgement, is it worth investing in said index fund when there is an expectation that the stock market will most likely crash this year? How do you narrow down stocks to find ones you would be interested in? [link] [comments]  |
| Why do you add depreciation and amortization to calculate free cash flow instead of subtracting it? Posted: 06 May 2018 06:01 AM PDT Here is the formula: EBIT (1-tax rate) + (depreciation) + (amortization) - (change in net working capital) - (capital expenditure) I understand that you take the operating earnings then subtract capex and change in net working capital but it doesn't make sense to me that you would add depreciation and amortization instead of subtracting it. You gain more free cash flow by paying for an expense that you are amortizing? [link] [comments]  |
| Nestlé and Starbucks bring together the world’s most iconic coffee brands. Posted: 06 May 2018 10:14 PM PDT As part of this transaction, Starbucks will receive an up-front cash payment of USD 7.15 billion for a business which generated annual sales of USD 2 billion. The transaction does not include the transfer of any fixed assets, which facilitates a smooth and efficient integration. Nestlé expects this business to contribute positively to its earnings per share and organic growth targets as from 2019. Nestlé's ongoing share-buyback program will remain unchanged. Approximately 500 Starbucks employees will join the Nestlé family to drive performance of the existing business and global expansion. Operations will continue to be located in Seattle. The agreement is subject to customary regulatory approval and is expected to close by the end of 2018. The agreement excludes Ready-to-Drink products and all sales of any products within Starbucks coffee shops. Nestlé will host an investor conference call led by CEO Mark Schneider and CFO François-Xavier Roger on Monday, 7 May at 7:30 p.m. CEST (1:30 p.m. EST) to provide further details.

| Posted: 06 May 2018 10:20 PM PDT Hey Everyone, I'm 18 years old and have 3 years left to go until I graduate from college. I am pretty new to investing and haven't invested in much yet except the 500 I have in betterment general investing. I have about 17k saved and work a full time job making around 2500 to 3000 a month. I wanted to know what the best options would be to help grow my wealth in the next 2-3 years to help with college tuition debt. I also want to invest long-term but saving for college is my main priority. I want to invest about 2500 but I am willing to put in more. I was watching stocks last year for a few months but then decided to wait until I had more money saved up and recently I have been watching the stock market again and trying to learn as much as I can about investing. I have interest in tech stocks like AAPL and MSFT and pharmaceuticals like JNJ. V is another one I have been watching closely. Would these be good investments or should I look towards ETFs such as VYM, ITOT, or SPX. I also understand that bonds are a steady income as well so I am also willing to invest in those if it will help build my wealth quicker. Any input is appreciated! [link] [comments]  |
| Are there target retirement date ETFs? Posted: 06 May 2018 08:43 PM PDT Background: American living abroad(aka someone stuck in a perpetual tax law nightmare) The best way to escape FATCA hell is to invest all my money in the US, but I was told that I cannot buy mutual funds, only individual stocks and ETFs. Through my previous employer I have a target date fund and I would like to do something similar now, but it doesn't seem like those exist. Is this something that is possible with an ETF or do I just have to sort of roll my own? [link] [comments]  |
| Why taking a loan to invest in the stock market isn't popular as investing in property? Posted: 07 May 2018 02:22 AM PDT I've been learning and investing in stock market since 2015, now I'm turning 22 this year, considering to expand my portfolio to include investment in property. In average housing market in my country have CAGR of 4~5% in last 35 years, at first I thought index fund like VOO are a much better option at that level of return, but that's not true because even with my Interactive Broker account I couldn't leverage as much as I can on property market. Since I'm not sure about the other places, but in my country I could own a house with 10~20% (depends on how many house I've owned) down payment, and pay an interest rate that's below the inflation rate! (I could also cover that monthly payment up to 50~80% with rental income). Did I missed something here? If not doesn't that makes housing/property a much more higher return investment option? (When I started to learn about investing I always though housing investment doesn't yield as much as stock market, plus it requires more cash and less liquidity.) [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 06 May 2018 04:51 PM PDT If you've given back the gains earned on a stock made over the course of multiple months or years and are now back at where you started when you initially purchased the stock, does it make sense to move on and put your money elsewhere or to continue holding the stock and what variables would influence your decision to go either way?

| Posted: 06 May 2018 04:30 PM PDT I'm a first-year finance undergrad and was unable to clinch an internship at any firm. At first I was bummed out but realized it will allow me to gain some #knowledge before entering my second year in september. Despite being a finance student, I have a rather rudimentary understanding of markets and investing being that most of my energy was devoted to schoolwork throughout the year. If anyone can share ideas, thoughts, book/video suggestions, tips etc., I think it could help not only me but many fellow redditors interested in investing. Thanks and cheers to a learning-filled summer (and good luck to those still in finals) [link] [comments]  |
| Calculating DCF with Gordon growth model? You may be doing it wrong Posted: 06 May 2018 11:40 PM PDT Hi! Would like to hear your opinion on the matter of popular misuse of Gordon Growth Formula. This is actually summary of my more detailed post in blog, but if you dont need detailed calculations, there is no need to read it in full. There are different ways to calculate project's Terminal Value (TV). In most cases, the default way is to calculate PV of future CFs with Gordon growth model. Most of the times when I see a DCF model, is calculated with the formula PV = D0(1+g)/(k-g). Wikipedia is quoting this formula as a go-to. When using the formula above, you imply that D1 = D0(1+g). And that is not always true. Well, for evaluation of a company or a project such assumption is actually false most of the time. If you try to actually calculate D1 CashFLows you quite often will get some absurd numbers. E.g. Change in NWC greater than revenue growth. An example of such calculation in a pic. The reasons are that the formula's denominator is actually a convenient shortcut to calculate "Dividend/CashFlow in the first terminal period". Growth Rate in Gordon model formula should apply to CF/Dividends. Yet we determine g based on estimated economic growth, which corresponds to revenue growth. In the end, it turns out that we took parameters which do not scale linearly with the growth rate and then tried to implicitly scale them in Gordon Growth formula. Such an formula misuese may result in up to 5-10% total error in EV/Equity. [link] [comments]  |

| What’s everyone’s prediction on the Iran Deal? Posted: 06 May 2018 09:46 PM PDT I think Trump will cave just like he has on the tariff exemptions and renew the deal at the last moment. The whole establishment is trying to sway him into staying in the deal. I feel like now would be a good opportunity to short or buy Puts on the energy stocks that have gone up a lot the past month.

| How good are analyst price targets? Posted: 06 May 2018 09:33 PM PDT Anyone done any analysis on analyst price targets, to see how often and how close they are to the right number? When an analyst sets a target of $x for a stock, what time frame is that usually in? Do they think it will hit the target next quarter? next year? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 06 May 2018 09:08 PM PDT I'm brand new to this, I just opened a Roth IRA through Fidelity. I've been a stay at home mom, but recently finished my Master's and will begin working soon. I will have a 401k through my company and my husband has a 401k as well, but we are just now getting started with Roth IRA's. I'm still pretty young and have 30-35 years left before retirement. I have no idea what to start investing in. I've heard to "diversify" my profile, but don't really know how to do that. Any tips or resources to look into? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 06 May 2018 02:31 PM PDT Hi All, I am looking to expand my portfolio into some tax exempt earning investments. I was thinking to start investing in my state (NJ) munis to hopefully lower the heavy taxes in NJ and also Fed. Anyone know the best way to do this? I was thinking of opening Fidelity and going into one of the NJ Municipal funds as I hear they do not charge to put money into their own funds? Is this true? [link] [comments]  |
