| Posted: 28 Jun 2018 06:25 AM PDT Watch out FedEx, UPS, DHL and the U.S. Postal Service: Amazon is building its own last-mile delivery service. The e-commerce behemoth announced on Thursday its new Delivery Service Partners program — designed to let entrepreneurs run their own local delivery networks of up to 40 vans emblazoned with Prime logos. Each delivery unit will start their day at one of 75 current Amazon stations in the U.S. where parcels ordered from Amazon.com are picked up by drivers wearing blue-collared shirts with an Amazon logo and black hats. Algorithms will determine which packages are sent to these delivery stations, and which are sent to other delivery partners, like FedEx and UPS. "This is all about scaling cost effectively," said Dave Clark, senior vice president of Amazon Worldwide Operations. He said the new delivery program will help meet the growth in e-commerce. "We are going to have to meet this growth, and it's outpacing the growth of our core providers." This year, more than 40 percent of all e-commerce purchases will be made on Amazon, according to an eMarketer estimate. Clark said Amazon has "great relationships" with its external delivery partners. "We use everything in order to meet our scale and meet our needs. I don't see that changing in the future," he said. In its latest annual 10-K filing, Amazon noted the risk associated with relying on external partners like FedEx and UPS. "If we are unable to negotiate acceptable terms with these companies or they experience performance problems or other difficulties, it could negatively impact our operating results and customer experience." In the filing, Amazon said shipping costs — including sorting, delivery center and transportation expenses — ballooned from $11.5 billion in 2015 to $21.7 billion in 2017, and its shipping costs are expected to continue to increase. The new program brings more of the costs and customer service under its control, while letting entrepreneurs run the operations under the behemoth's name. The e-commerce giant said the program will enable "hundreds" of small businesses to get started, and it will ultimately hire "tens of thousands" of new delivery drivers across the country. This comes at a time when there is a trucker shortage in the U.S., adding to rising transportation costs for many businesses. Amazon isn't providing an estimate for how many or how long it will take to get more delivery stations built in order to get packages to these new 10s of thousands of delivery drivers. Each Delivery Service Partner can start a business with as little as a $10,000 investment. The partner is vetted by Amazon, and once accepted, will lease Prime-branded vehicles from Amazon, but the entrepreneur will be in charge of recruiting and hiring drivers. Amazon will offer discounts for costs incurred to run the business on expenses like fuel, insurance and benefit programs. The company says the program is set up so successful delivery partners can make up to $300,000 in annual profit. Olaoluwa Abimbola has been running his delivery service business in the Denver area as part of the beta test for the last five months. While his background is in computer science and not logistics, he says he's "loving" his new business and has already hired more than 40 employees who work "fairly regular hours" and "are encouraged to take breaks." This new last-mile delivery program is in addition to Amazon Flex, a delivery program in more than 50 U.S. cities that operates more like Uber or Lyft, with "gig workers" delivering parcels from their own vehicles for $18 to $25 an hour. Amazon's Delivery Service Partners is just another part of the company's own logistics network. It already has 7,000 of its own trucks and 40 airplanes which, along with external delivery partners, shipped more than 5 billion Prime items last year. While Amazon won't disclose the financials behind the new program, Clark says it's "much more about customer experience and meeting overall growth. We think this is going to be a cost effective way to do that." [link] [comments]  |

| Former Equifax manager charged with insider trading linked to cyber breach Posted: 28 Jun 2018 11:14 AM PDT https://www.politico.com/story/2018/06/28/former-equifax-manager-insider-trading-680781 The Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission charged a former Equifax software engineering manager with insider trading, prior to the disclosure that the credit-monitoring company had suffered a massive cybersecurity breach. Sudhakar Reddy Bonthu agreed to settle civil charges with the SEC and return gains he made through trades that the commission alleges were illegal, according to a release by the agency announcing the enforcement action. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Georgia filed separate criminal charges of insider trading against Bonthu. The SEC says Bonthu bought options before the company's data breach became public and sold them for a profit of more than $75,000. That breach exposed personal information of up to nearly 150 million Americans. The SEC says Bonthu lost his job at Equifax after refusing to cooperate with an internal investigation as to whether he violated the company's own insider trading policy. In March, the DOJ and SEC charged the former chief information officer of Equifax's U.S. unit with insider trading for allegedly selling stock before the data breach was revealed.

| Chipotle shares tumble 9% as company sheds little light on future performance Posted: 28 Jun 2018 09:50 AM PDT Chipotle Mexican Grill's shares tumbled by almost 9 percent Thursday morning after the company announced its strategy to revitalize the fast-casual restaurant chain but provided few details on its future growth prospects. "The call was lighter on detail than we would have liked so we expect weakness in the stock today," Peter Saleh, an analyst at BTIG, wrote in a research note Thursday. Shares tumbled 8.8 percent to $416.89 as of 11:57 a.m. The company announced plans Wednesday to spend up to $135 million to win back customers and reposition Chipotle as a lifestyle brand. The expenses will cover a new ad campaign, digital investments to speed mobile and online orders as well as the costs of closing up to 65 underperforming locations. While CEO Brian Niccol told investors he can "easily see a future where Chipotle more than doubles revenue to over $10 billion," he was scant on how that will play out in the coming quarters. "[The] conference call disappointed in that it lacked meaningful near-term catalysts or fine tuned financial objectives," Matthew DiFrisco, analyst at Guggenheim wrote in a research note Wednesday. Chipotle executives declined to update or reaffirm earnings guidance set in previous quarters. The only hint about second quarter results came from Niccol who said positive sales trends seen in the first quarter had carried over. Executives also said the company will book up to $60 million of its restructuring charges during the second quarter. "We are watching sales and transactions every day and we look at it by region and by day part. And what we continue to see is good performance in all the day parts," Niccol said, adding that he was optimistic that would continue to improve. Saleh said he believes "management is firmly on the right path" to win back customers who lost confidence Chipotle after a series of food safety problems plagued the company beginning in 2015. Niccol's strategy uses much of the same playbook he used running Taco Bell — upgrades to technology and digital ordering, a fun and witty company voice and new menu items. However, many of these these changes are only in test phases or mentioned as long-term goals for some future date. Digital order pick-up shelves, which are meant to prominently display online orders once they have been filled, are only a prototype in a handful of restaurants and its plan to add DoorDash delivery to its app is also in test, with the aim of reaching 2,000 locations by the end of the year. Its long overdue menu changes are still in Chipotle's test kitchens or available in limited markets. The company is trying out a new iteration of the quesadilla as well as nachos, an avocado tostada and several frozen beverages. Executives wouldn't say when they would be rolled out nationwide. While the call "focused mainly on high-level strategies and did not contain many details related to near- or long-term financial targets," Baird analyst David Tarantino said in a research note that Niccol's plan should eventually improve Chipotle's revenue and profit.

| How do you find your entry point? Posted: 29 Jun 2018 03:30 AM PDT Inspired by u/dvdmovie1 comment from this thread, how do you find your entry point if it's not TA, which seems to get shit on a lot here. I just started reading about options mostly out of curiosity and I've been looking at charts and indicators, but I certainly fell into the "Oh a 3% dip, lets buy" camp, only to have it fall 3% more a few days later. Is there some disconnect between balancing "if you're investing, entry point doesn't matter" and "wait for a buying opportunity"? Or some tips on being patient wouldn't hurt either! Thanks.

| [SERIOUS QUESTION] - Topic: Intraday fundamentals Posted: 29 Jun 2018 03:05 AM PDT I've become more intrested in short-term trading, but i've come to realize that the odds are aginst me if i cant generate intraday trading-ideas. I've been quite successful with my long-term investments being able to base a lot of my decision-making on fundamental-analysis. The problem with short-term trading is that i am unable to find valid information that could be used to estimate which direction the equity is going to move. I am no fan of news since literally everyone has access to it, giving me no "edge" over the market. A fundamental-analysis would also seem pretty useless in a intraday aspect since fundamentals often only helps in the long-term aspects of trading. I read in an article on this topic and they said: "short-term traders capitalize on the emotions surrounding a stock" but i do not know if that is true, and how you would be successful doing it. I need to be able to generate intraday trading-ideas, teach be your philosophy on this topic! [link] [comments]  |

| From +90% to -14% gains , is this reasonable? Posted: 29 Jun 2018 12:35 AM PDT My dad let me manage a trading account and keep the profits (at first it was 50/50 split but I managed to convince him), anyway. I've been doing this on my own for 3 years and he was 100% against it at first, but over the years I showed him my performance and he became supportive, but he simply dislikes my "aggressive" style and high risk tolerance. Earlier this year in february I turned $2800 into $30,000 in 3 weeks, and then lost it all overnight because of an unfortunate event (margin call - but I was technically right on the trade and could've bumped it up to $70k if it weren't for a 1.9 tick change in price that caused me to be margin called and liquidated by my broker, only to see price reverse in my favour later, it's literally like putting a feather on top of a pile of plates and watching it all fall down). but anyway, I got good grades with school and we had made this deal. We funded a $20k account and he gave me really strict rules to not go past a 20% drawdown (i.e. not lose more than $4000), keep in mind with my own money I was risking 50-80% of my account at a time, but this was a game changer, so I took his offer because it's better than nothing, one week into it I make $1500, withdraw and spend it. Then I lose $2000, I'm down 10% now (on the 20k) and have $2000 more to risk (remember it's 4k risk max). Anyway at this point my emotions get the best of me and impacts my trading. I ask him if we can get rid of this "20% drawdown" thing but still be careful (not like before with my own money) and to be able to have more of a "cushion" to rely on with the $20k, it took a week to convince him and I had made $5000 in the meantime but it worked. Anyway, ever since then I was only risking the "profits". In the next week I went back to breakeven, and then a week later I'm up $18000 (90%). I return all his money and withdraw 2k for myself. Now I could finally risk big since it's my money and don't care as much, so I lose $14k in one trade, literally 15 minutes. and get angry and lose another $4k that day. My profits are gone and I use the initial 20k again. I took 2 weeks off and started over this week, I lost $2850 of the 20k initial capital, that's about 14% and he lost his mind (he completely dislikes risk and it took a big deal to convince him to do this whole thing). Is this reasonable/fair? I'm telling him since I was up 90% 2 weeks ago and now I'm down 14%, thats not bad at all, considering the variance, I know it's not heard of in the finance world but we're managing a 20k account, not a multi-million dollar portfolio, and this is trading not long term value-investing, so risk is essential to the process. Also, I have a very good strategy and winning rate, which I've shown him and he's been monitoring my trades Live, and I used to show him before/after pictures of my trade calls, but now he even receives a verified email from the broker at the end of each day so he can confirm it. It's just that whenever I'm winning he's super happy and supportive, but one small setback and he shifts his stance to an extent.. ----- Quick backstory to this whole situation. I am mainly "trading" (Forex and Futures) on a short term basis using high leverage, hundreds of times my capital. I have been doing this for 3 and a half years now Doing it part-time while attending college. I got the hang of it about a year ago and only then was I able to start making money and being profitable. At first I would just make and lose a coupe hundred bucks and was down about $2k over the course of the previous (first) 2 years. Then I "got it" and recovered that money in about a month, and started being aggressive and reached $10k by the end of the next month. That was the moment that changed everything for me as I realized that the "Sky is the limit" although I've literally been through hell back and forth since then, although I had thought I had "made it" at that point, but I kept coming back from failures and getting even better. I've turned several small accounts of $1-5k into 1000-5000% gains, and blew up a few accounts in the process. I am aware how risky and "unsustainable" this is as I mentioned in the 2nd paragraph above, but I've been able to be a part of several groups and met people who have done it successfully, used to witness people pull $20-50k a day in online chat rooms on a consistent basis, and a friend of mine turned $4600 into $750,000 in exactly 4 weeks. However that was after 6 years of insane dedication, failure blood sweat and tears. I know others who joined and barely put any effort, lost their life savings and just gave up on the first try too.

| Would Disney make a play for Sky if they lose Fox? Posted: 29 Jun 2018 12:30 AM PDT Disney and Fox have not made a new bid for Sky yet (which some have said is signalling to Comcast to drop Fox and take Sky). But if Comcast decide to proceed and win bidding for Fox, would Disney make an aggressive bid for Sky to ensure that Roberts loses one of the assets he most desires? Does this seem like a likely course of action? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 28 Jun 2018 04:19 PM PDT Listened to the CEO of Lennar on CNBC earlier this week, speaking about their top barrier - available desirable land. Found $NWHM, which looks to have good KPI's for movement (or even an acquisition): their low price has brought in management buying stock and stock buy back. Fundamentals look inline with industry, borrowing went a little high..but their undeveloped land portfolio is what is intriguing... Would love some opinions before buying in big. [link] [comments]  |
