    Bubble-Like Stock Valuations Miss $3.4 Trillion in Hidden Assets

    Posted: 06 Jun 2018 11:15 AM PDT

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-06-06/what-s-a-stock-worth-in-new-economy-accounting-has-its-critics

    On paper, Autodesk Inc. is a bit of a mess. It's been losing money for almost three years, and its book value -- what's left if you sell off the assets and repay debt -- is negative. Yet over the past year, the stock has gained 23 percent, almost double the S&P 500.

    With its sky-high valuation, the software maker would appear to be a poster child for froth amid a nine-year bull run. But to some, it should be seen in a very different light -- as a company whose fundamentals are made to look a lot worse than they are by old, and increasingly useless, accounting rules.

    "You get numbers which are highly inflated for some companies, and are understated for other companies," says Baruch Lev, the New York University finance professor whose 2017 paper on the topic ignited a debate about valuation. "It doesn't make any sense."

    That talk rankles the old school, which hears it as an apologia for stock prices that seem to be bubbling over. But lumping it with dot-com-era gimmicks like price-to-eyeballs misses a larger point tied to the growing role of services in developed countries. As the economy changes, proponents say, accounting standards that made sense for shipbuilders and oil drillers are bound to lose relevance.

    What percentage of Tesla shareholders voted to kick out Musk?

    Posted: 06 Jun 2018 11:06 AM PDT

    Tesla rallied 7% which is pretty hefty based on shareholders "endorsement" of Musk. I was under the impression that it was one guy, a troll, planning on the vote.

    Why $10,000 Gold Will Not Be What You Think

    Posted: 06 Jun 2018 07:17 PM PDT

    For almost 7 years now, I have been actively engaged in the online community relating to investing opportunities. In fact, my first public article about a specific asset was when I called for a top in gold back in the summer of 2011, when most were certain we were about to easily eclipse the $2,000 mark. However, my expectation was that the $1,915 region would likely put a cap to this rally, despite the parabolic rally we were experiencing in gold at the time. And, as we now know, gold topped at $1,921 about a month after my top call.

    Since that time, I have not only written hundreds of public articles, but I probably have read much more than 5 times that amount regarding various financial markets.

    The one thing that has always stuck out in my mind is that the market rarely does what the majority expect. In fact, most still believe that gold is a safe haven from stock market volatility. While I have attempted to dispel that notion with actual facts from market history, many still hold fast to this fallacy.

    During my time writing publicly over the last 7 years, one of the other fallacies that has been brought to my attention is that if gold really rallied to $5,000 or higher, then the world will likely be in terrible shape. In fact, many have gone so far as saying that one would not likely want to live in a world of $10,000 gold. And, I just saw this reiterated again in the comments section in an article recently written by Doug Eberhardt.

    So, let's explore this line of reasoning a bit more.

    Back when gold was around $300 almost 20 years ago, many people were saying at that time that one would not want to live during a period of time when gold was at $1,000-2,000. In other words, they made an assumption that a significantly higher price for gold would suggest that the world was in disarray.

    Well, for those of us that have been living for the last 10 years, we have seen gold rally from $300 and almost strike that $2,000 region. And, with gold now over 4 times the price it was 20 years ago, we can attest to the fact that the world has not come to an end. Moreover, for those who were truly paying attention, much of gold's rally from 2002-2011 was accompanied by a rally in the stock market from 2002-2007.

    As we now hover around the 1300 region, which is still more than 4 times the $300 level struck in 2002, I don't hear anyone complaining about how we are now living in a devastating period of time.

    At the end of the day, I think many investors have certain notions they have developed about gold and what it represents. In fact, many hold fast to these views almost religiously. Yet, since most of these views are based upon outright fallacy, one may want to simply look at gold as another asset class, rather than impute some over-inflated wrong notion relating to the times in which we live.

    If you analyze what gold will do as an asset class well, then you will do well with your investment. If you view gold from an emotional perspective or a perspective not based in fact, then it will likely hurt your investment returns over the longer term. Just remember how most of the market viewed gold back in 2011, and were certain that gold would rally over $2,000. Remember how, at that time, most thought that revisiting the $1,000 region was simply ridiculous?

    While I still maintain the expectation that we are on the cusp of a major multi-decade bull market in the metals market, I don't necessarily expect the world to end. Nor do I buy into the common perspectives held by the overall market, as when most in the market believe something will happen, it rarely turns out that way. While I certainly see some very hard times setting up for our equity markets over the next 20 years, I don't see the stock market revisiting the lows seen in 2009, whereas I do see the metals market significantly higher in the coming decades.

    Just something to think about.

    Are there any REIT stocks based around specific cities?

    Posted: 06 Jun 2018 04:37 PM PDT

    Are there any REIT stocks based around specific cities or regions?

    Like if I wanted to buy shares of a REIT that focused on tier two cities like Philadelphia, Nashville, Austin, etc or even better could pick a REIT with ***just*** Philadelphia or ***just*** Austin, does something like that exist?

    If not, what are the challenges of bringing a REIT like that to market?

    Does Macy's Still Have Room to Run? Pressing 52-week Highs

    Posted: 06 Jun 2018 05:06 AM PDT

    Macy's shares are up at 52-week highs this morning around $40. It is interesting to see because a lot of investors were losing faith in the retail space. The most recent quarter just showed people not to give up on retail just yet.

    At this moment, seeing $M at $40 a share, I am kicking myself. Back when it was around $19 a share a few months ago I began looking at it. It was one of those moments when the price slaps you in the face and screams value. It sucks not being involved but it is nice looking back and knowing my gut was right at the time.

    What do you guys think about this? Is retail still dead? Will Macy's go back down from here or do you think it still has room to run?

    What is going on with Fastenal ($FAST) stock?

    Posted: 06 Jun 2018 08:20 AM PDT

    There was an AH -8% move that translated into a current -5.5% move today. No major news was released outside of the May 2018 sales numbers (linked). The sales numbers were solid, with 12.5% growth in net sales, and 12.5% growth in daily sales. It is worth noting that the 12.5% numbers are the lowest/near lowest the company has seen in 12+ months, but daily sales are above the 9.7% y-o-y growth seen in May '17. If the massive negative reaction today is solely due to the May '18 sales numbers, then it is my personal opinion that this may be a decent entry point, as my investment thesis remains intact.

    Does anybody have any additional information on what might be moving the stock today?

    Anyone else gearing up for a correction?

    Posted: 06 Jun 2018 11:01 AM PDT

    Regardless of the state of the economy and what you think about the tax-cuts or other policy implementations, I'm sure most of us can agree that the S&P 500 PE ratio of 25 is ridiculously high. So, I was just curious to know if anyone else shares this paranoia with me, and if so, what you guys are doing to prep for a potential downturn.

    Is ~325% return in 13 years something I should be proud of?

    Posted: 06 Jun 2018 02:45 PM PDT

    In September 2004 I got into the market. I invested a set amount and didn't contribute any additional funds to that account. Last summer, when I started making withdrawals (house purchase) I was up 325%. I calculated my annual rate of return at a little over 12%. Is that a rate of return that I have a right to be proud of?

    SPY VS Individual shares.

    Posted: 06 Jun 2018 10:18 AM PDT

    Recently a lot of people are coming into the stock market. Plenty of beginners looking to play around with some money. Asking around for strategy on making the biggest % with the least amount of risk. The momentum of buying ETF is usually the consensus of the best bet due to the 10yr win streak. Surely the ETF fees are barely anything compared to the gains from it.

    I would like to shed some sunlight on actually looking at the components of the ETF such as SPY/VTI and do some DD on them yourself. A novice would usually be frown upon for buying outside of SPY because the individual cost of 1 of every stock in spy would be overwhelming.

    My thought is that perhaps looking into undervalue stocks that are held under spy/vti and buy some of them up. Since ETF managers has to maintain the % of shares everyday as designated by the Prospectus given.

    Hope this will encourage some thinking outside of the box.

    Are we in for a crash/bear market soon?

    Posted: 06 Jun 2018 09:29 AM PDT

    Don't want to sound pessimistic, but the market tends to be a cycle and we have been in a bull market for a very long time. Also, tech is reaching very high levels. With lower corporate taxes it might be sustainable with even more growth but I just want to hear some opinions.
