    Tesla sedan in Autopilot mode hit a parked California police car

    Posted: 29 May 2018 11:26 PM PDT

    https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/29/tesla-in-autopilot-mode-hit-a-parked-california-police-car.html

    driver of a Tesla Model S crashed into an unoccupied, parked police vehicle in Laguna Beach, California, on Tuesday and the driver told investigators the Tesla was in "Autopilot" mode at the time, police said.

    The driver suffered minor injuries, Laguna Beach Sergeant Jim Cota said, who posted photos of the crash scene showing extensive damage to the front end of the Tesla and the rear side of the police vehicle.

    Tesla's Model S owner's manual warns some Autopilot functions "cannot detect all objects and may not brake/decelerate for stationary vehicles or objects especially when traveling over 50 mph (80 kph)" and when a vehicle ahead of the driver "moves out of your driving path and a stationary vehicle or object is in front of you."

    ELI5: Why does CNBC mostly use the DOW as a metric for the overall market instead of the S&P 500?

    Posted: 29 May 2018 09:43 AM PDT

    The S&P 500 is more diversified and is weighted by market cap instead of price

    LifeProTip: If market sells off this year, use the opportunity to convert traditional IRA shares then to Roth and have a lower tax charge

    Posted: 29 May 2018 09:07 AM PDT

    There is a silver lining to market meltdowns. Good time to convert an IRA if you were planning to do it anyway.

    Options - puts calls thought

    If you buy a put and call option at the same value, will you make money if the stock swings wildly in one direction say 5-10%?

    Costco ahead of Thursdays earnings

    Posted: 29 May 2018 07:54 PM PDT

    Looking to add a retailer and can't think of a better company than Costco. I know it has run up a bit but I've been looking to start a position in this company for a while. I've noticed that a lot of top retailers are selling off even after good earning reports because of high expectations. It seems to be a trend across retail to buy the stock in anticipation of earnings and sell it before the announcement because even if they beat expectations, the beat is already priced in. Is that the case for Costco as well? Should I wait until after earnings or is the upside worth the risk that they might report earnings well above expectations?

    Maybe I can buy a little before and if it dips dollar cost average and buy the dip because no matter what I intend on holding and not trading. I am 33 years old.

    Cornering the Market: "Silver Thursday"

    Posted: 29 May 2018 03:22 PM PDT

    Since people seemed to like the post about the "Salad Oil Scandal" I figured I'd post another one.

    _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Q: What happens when you combine greed, boredom and several offspring of a Texas Billionaire?

    A: You end up with those brothers trying to corner the silver market resulting in massive price inflation, a massive market correction, fears of a bank collapse and the implosion of a family fortune.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rather than type out the entire story, here's links to summaries with better writers than me:

    Wikipedia - Silver Thursday

    Investopedia - Silver Thursday

    Priceonomics - How the Hunt Brothers COrnered the Silver Market and then Lost it All

    Fun Fact: This is the same Hunt family that owns the Kansas City Chiefs

    Youtube channels to analyse and share opinion on markets?

    Posted: 30 May 2018 12:30 AM PDT

    Hi all,

    I am looking for youtube channels where people analyse and share their thoughts on the financial news globally. For example analyse and say what happens with Italy, what are the causes and the effects or about the 25% tariffs etc etc.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Best Investment Strategy

    Posted: 29 May 2018 08:15 PM PDT

    Hi, I am currently in Acorns and switching to M1 Finance (more options and more control). What would be the best investment strategy for me?

    I am 20 and will be contributing $20/week. I am thinking about doing $10/week in a 2060 Retirement Target Fund (several funds that change as I get older). Then the other $10/week will be to individual companies (Apple, Amazon, NVIDIA, Baidu, Mictrosoft, Berkshire Hathway, Netflix).

    Is this a good strategy, what should I change? What should I keep? Are these good companies? Should I invest in individual stock at all? What has worked for you?

    Anything else I should know before I start?

    Thanks!

    Why were Financials down 3% today?

    Time to Buy the S&P 500's most boring sector?

    Posted: 29 May 2018 08:15 AM PDT

    The S&P 500 Utilities Sector (XLU) was up 3.10% last week, outperforming SPY by 280bps! Widening spark spreads, driven by higher natural gas prices support profitability for utility companies. While the sector is down ~4.7% YTD as we head into summer, perhaps we are witnessing a sector rotation? Last year, S&P Utilities as a sector returned 11.4%. Natural gas inventories are 33% below last year's levels as we head into summer which support both higher natural gas prices + power prices going forward. Time to buy the S&P's most boring sector?

    Why can no one else use Amazons "no profit" strategy

    Posted: 29 May 2018 08:52 AM PDT

    OK, so obviously Amazon shareholders are happy with Amazon basically not declaring profits because they trust Bezos to basically lead Amazon to monopolistic dominance in x years. How did this work in the beginning, when it wasn't immediately clear that Amazon would be as dominating as it is now. I understand that retail/e-commerce is a low margin industry.

    Let's take a competitor for example. Alphabet has the most ridiculous profit margins. It's just the nature of the online ad business and Google's dominance of it. Google is getting into e-commerce more and more (Express and Shopping) but as said, this is a low margin industry. So Google has less to gain in terms of profit than Amazon has to gain from getting into the ad business in turn.

    But why are shareholders making such a fuss when Alphabet sees rising costs? Obviously they're gonna invest tens of billions into Cloud Platform and especially AI (differentiating factor), because they have to. They can't let Amazon continue to dominate with AWS. Is this just good old short term thinking on the investors part. Because it seems to me that in tech, and especially and the level of AMZN, MSFT, GOOG it's all about capturing the market and having the dominant (or at least competitive) platform with the most engagement and developer activity.

    What do you think`?

    Even Bloomberg Live on YouTube and Bloomberg.com requires a subscription...

    Posted: 29 May 2018 12:36 PM PDT

    When the news came out I thought Bloomberg would only require a subscription for their articles, but today I couldn't find the markets live stream on YouTube (just some stream of rehashed segments). I went to the website Bloomberg Live and noticed that it said 26 minutes of viewing left. That's pretty disappointing.

    I understand that they need/want to make money, but I really enjoyed having Bloomberg on YouTube playing in the background in the morning or just seeing what's happening. Anyone else disappointed? I guess I'll just have to wait for the select clips they edit and post on their YouTube channel or on the website.

    Don't they make enough money off the Bloomberg terminals that they could leave the live feed free?

    Good time to invest in the financial sector?

    Posted: 29 May 2018 02:22 PM PDT

    Financial stocks dropped 3% today. The sector has a much lower price to earnings ratio than other sectors such as tech. Banks will stand to benefit as interest rates around the world rise, which sooner or later they will. Is now a good time to invest in a financials sector etf?

    The World Isn’t Prepared for Retirement

    Posted: 29 May 2018 02:09 PM PDT

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-05-29/the-world-isn-t-prepared-for-retirement

    ...take a look at this question—which only 45 percent of people around the world got right:

    Q. Do you think the following statement is true or false? "Buying a single company stock usually provides a safer return than a stock mutual fund."

    Sixteen percent of people got it wrong. "Do not know" was chosen by 38 percent. In the U.S., 46 percent of workers got it right. Good for you, America—though Germany beat you handily. (The answer, in case you were wondering, is false.)

    It was an inflation question that had the highest percentage of wrong answers, however. More than 20 percent of workers didn't grasp how higher inflation hurts their buying power.

    Across the board, though, workers didn't seem to recognize the huge impact that basic changes in the labor force, technology and the climate will probably have on their retirement plans, said Catherine Collinson, president of the nonprofit Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies and executive director of the Aegon Center for Longevity and Retirement.

    Many workers may well be in denial about how long they can actually work. The survey found workers generally plan to retire around age 65. "The sobering reality is that 39 percent of retirees globally retired sooner than planned," according to the report. "Of those, 30 percent stopped working earlier than they had planned for reasons of ill health, and 26 percent due to unemployment/job loss."

    TL;DR: A large portion of people don't know how to prepare for retirement.

    The article also shows a picture of the 3 question survey, including one that asks about inflation: "Imagine that the interest rate on your savings account was 1 percent per year and inflation was 2 percent per year. After 1 year, how much would you be able to buy with the money in this account?".

    Bear Market ETF - Thoughts on HSD?

    Posted: 29 May 2018 04:40 PM PDT

    Hi everyone,

    I heard of this ETF today, under the ticker HSD.

    Looks to be a bear ETF that tracks the S&P500. If the SP500 goes down by 1 point, the ETF goes up by 2 points, and vise versa.

    With the last decade of bull run running out of steam, and the turmoil in Italy bonds affecting the market, what do you guys think of this ETF to hedge against a potential recession / bear market / market crash?

    Any better options out there?

    Thanks!

    Does anyone know of a site that builds you a portfolio of ETFs based on your age, risk tolerance, investment preference, etc?

    Posted: 29 May 2018 09:04 AM PDT

    I don't mean just an ETF database like etf.com, but an actual portfolio builder tool.
