    Should I invest 10%of my salary into the S&P500 every month? Investing


    Should I invest 10%of my salary into the S&P500 every month?

    Posted: 07 Jul 2018 04:10 PM PDT

    So I'm 22 and getting my first paycheck from a professional job. The money isn't great but my only expenses is travel as I live with my folks and they refuse to take money off me.

    Is it a good idea to invest 10% of my salary into the S&P500 every month. I'm going to "forget" about this money and let it grow (I know it can fall also). This is for the long term.

    What's the best way to invest. Monthly as I get paid? Or save it up and invest every few months.

    I'm in Ireland btw

    With the yield curve flattening is now a good time to invest in bond ETFs?

    Posted: 07 Jul 2018 11:33 AM PDT

    I understand with rising interest rates the value of long term bonds is decreasing, and the value of many ETFs holding long term bonds have seen negative returns this year. Would this be a good opportunity to "buy low" if I plan to buy and hold for the next 20 years?

    Specifically, I have my eye on Vanguard's long term corporate bond fund (VCLT). I recently received a vacation payout from changing jobs, and I would like to add some diversity to my portfolio.

    ECB ending QE, a red flag for rising U.S. interest rates?

    Posted: 07 Jul 2018 04:25 PM PDT

    Link

    Richard Duncan, in his most recent blog post, harped on his interpretations of the ECB nipping QE in the bud by the end of the year. He makes the claim that rising interest rates in Europe will invariably lead to higher rates in the U.S. Can someone explain this train of thought? I am not a subscriber to his Macro Watch service but would be interested to hear people's insight.

    My rudimentary logic: Rising rates in Europe will make European bonds more attractive to savers elsewhere. This will cause demand for treasuries to fall as investors substitute for ECB bonds. Lower demand -> lower prices -> higher yield. I'm sure more goes into this but would appreciate everyone's thoughts.

    How much time should I spend learning/researching before putting money in stocks?

    Posted: 07 Jul 2018 12:57 PM PDT

    I'm brand new to investing and I've been watching YouTube videos, reading articles, looking at trends on Yahoo! Finance, etc. for almost a week now. I've purchased some books (Money Master the Game by Tony Robbins and The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham) that will take me some time to get through. I have a general idea of what I want to do, and purchasing one or two shares in an ETF seems simple enough until I get more knowledge to take an active approach to trading/investing. Is this a good idea, or should I take some more time to really get a grip on how the market works before jumping in?

    I'm itching to get involved because it's so interesting to me, but I don't want to jump the gun.

    How long did you all take to strictly research the market before putting a single penny into stock(s)?

    Investing wannabe: Have some questions and in need of general guidance

    Posted: 07 Jul 2018 04:01 PM PDT

    Everytime I sit down hoping I'm ready to make the plunge and put money into an investment, I end up having more questions than answers (if any answers at all).

    I went through the beginning of this tutorial, but felt kind of overwhelmed with all the reading and wanted to just start. But when I go online and go through a simpler guide, I end up going through a rabbit hole: tax-loss harvesting leads to ETFS which leads to index funds, and I feel like there's no foundation to pick things off of.

    Is the simplest thing to do to just bear through the sotck tutorial or read a book? Or is there a simple to follow beginner guide that can at least give me the headspace of knowing I can make an investment that's not totally stupid.

     

    My investment strategy at the moment is basically a two headed snake: some of my investment money is gonna go to 'safe' stocks that go to mutual funds, etfs, or roboadvisors (low risk low reward stocks). And then after enough studying and research I'm gonna try to hand pick a high risk high reward portfolio, maybe using somehting like robinhood. And of course I don't expect to get a single penny back from all these investments.

    What do you guys suggest I do to just put a dollar down? I feel as if there's so much information coming from a bunch of different angles that it's hard to create foundational picture of how to make the smartest investments I can. Everyone I ask gives me different advice (either yes or no to roboadvisors, lazy portfolios, etc.) that I just want to sit down, use the pareto principle to get the best information I can for the least amount of time, and start my investing journey from there.

    Thanks in advance!

    Newbie help with inheritance

    Posted: 07 Jul 2018 11:53 PM PDT

    I've gained 25k from an inheritance, and per the deceased wishes I am allowed to invest it or put it towards a car/house. I'm living at at a college dorm or with my parents and have a reliable beater car so the only option left is to invest it. I took a few personal finance classes in high school but I learned little. Where should I put this money? My bank has a student saving account that has a 2% interest rate till I'm 23 but I think I can do better elsewhere. I don't mind not being able to touch the money for a long period of time, I just want to know what to do with it.

    How to invest $100m?

    Posted: 08 Jul 2018 03:55 AM PDT

    Hello,

    This may sound like bullshit, but I am seriously looking for tips on how to invest $100m.

    It so happened that I was one of the early cryptocurrency "adopter" and low and behold, I am in the possession of the above amount.

    It's quite ridiculous to be making a post about it, but as an avid internet user I always want to find unconventional ideas, and I think asking the crowd is an interesting way.

    How would you invest this amount? Also, I am based in Switzerland, and things like Vanguard, etc, may not be accessible to me.

    It seems UHNWI are generally using the concept of a "family office", to manage the funds. But I am not sure how to get started on that.

    Etf price in 10 years.

    Posted: 07 Jul 2018 07:44 PM PDT

    If the value of ETF's keep going up, will they split at some point? I know IVV and VOO are 250-275, can someone help me understand if he price will keep going up or if it splits or becomes more affordable to people?

    Formula driven trading

    Posted: 07 Jul 2018 06:32 PM PDT

    Hi all,

    I have a trading strategy that works well, but I am not keen on waiting 10-20 years to build any substantial nest egg even though I contribute 20% of my income.

    My question to readers is what should I do? If you had a working trading strategy that beats your benchmarks, what would be your next move?

    Online brokerage firms for Japanese residents?

    Posted: 07 Jul 2018 09:39 PM PDT

    Hi everybody,

    I wanted to start investing some money in stocks, and I spent some time trying to figure out a suitable online firm.
    However, most of the articles around are heavily USA-oriented, and I'm having a hard time to understand my options.

    My situation is as follows:
    - I live in Japan, and I only have a Japanese bank account

    - I'm neither American nor Japanese

    - I'd like to be able to buy international stocks, as I'm more interested in the American and European markets

    - I can't read Japanese

    - I'm not experienced in stock trading

    What are my best bets?

    The first two points cut me off from most of the most respected online American firms. There are a few left, but targeted to highly experienced traders. The lack of language skills prevents me to use Japanese based ones.

    What would you recommend?

    How can I trade in options while paying long term gains?

    Posted: 07 Jul 2018 05:51 PM PDT

    The only approach that I am aware of is to trade in LEAPs. Of course, I can trade in my IRA account without having to explicitly worry about that, but that's a separate story. Which other ways can I potentially trade (long call) options, but limited tax implications? Rolling over the options doesn't look like will work.

    In other words, can I do leveraged investment, but still pay long term gains? Margin account only seems to be taking me to ~1.5X

    Financials Analysis of CVNA

    Posted: 07 Jul 2018 04:56 PM PDT

    Hi guys,

    Heard there may be some experts that can give me some second opinions on reading some financials in here.

    I was recently looking at CVNA, and while their revenue growth has exploded (over 100% Annual and almost 130% QoQ), their operating income has grown increasingly negative, their net profit margin has been negative this entire time, their current debt has been increasing to 350M while their quarter end cash and short term investments are only 200M.

    Net cash flow from operations is more negative this past quarter than ever. And their stock price is at an all time high.

    Is there anything obvious I'm missing here? I'm almost tempted to make a case for this company's inevitable bankruptcy, their balance sheet seems to suggest that at the very least, they will have some issues with staying solvent short term without raising more debt.

    I know markets can stay irrational longer than I can stay solvent, so I have no course of action planned - but I would like a second opinion on reading this stock / company just to make sure I'm not missing anything.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello, does anyone know of anything that is good at setting up auto notifications?

    I particularly just need a notification of a stock going below X amount relative to its opening price. Would be great if it auto adjusts its opening price every day.

    please help me get started in learning

    Posted: 07 Jul 2018 04:47 PM PDT

    I wanna learn how to trade stocks online or how to invest in the stock market and get consistent profits. I know absolutely nothing about how to do this.

    Please help me and refer to me resources to help me learn about everything and how to invest properly. I don't want to spend money though, pls keep the guides free.

    I don't have preconceived notions that it will be easy, I am just interested in it and I'm willing work hard to learn and master stock trading and investing. I also wanna be able to do it at home from my computer if that is a thing. Thank you in advance.

    Also, I'm still in high school but I don't want to wait until I'm 18, I want learn now. I read somewhere online I can have stocks under my guardians but with my name I believe, I want to know the specifics about that and if it is true.
