    China Dethroned by Japan as World's Second-Biggest Stock Market

    Posted: 02 Aug 2018 11:45 PM PDT

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-08-03/china-dethroned-by-japan-as-world-s-second-biggest-stock-market

    China just lost its ranking as the world's number two stock market.

    After a Thursday slump, Chinese equities were worth $6.09 trillion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That compares with $6.17 trillion in Japan. The U.S. has the world's largest stock market at just over $31 trillion.

    China's stock market overtook Japan's in late 2014, then soared to an all-time high of more than $10 trillion in June 2015. Chinese equities and the nation's currency have taken a beating this year amid a trade spat with the U.S., a government-led campaign to cut debt and a slowing economy.

    "Losing the ranking to Japan is the damage caused by the trade war," said Banny Lam, head of research at CEB International Investment Corp. in Hong Kong. "The Japan equity gauge is relatively more stable around the current level but China's market cap has slumped from its peak this year."China's stock market overtook Japan's in late 2014, then soared to an all-time high of more than $10 trillion in June 2015.

    Tesla short sellers are sitting on a more than $1 billion paper loss after stock rally

    Posted: 02 Aug 2018 11:00 AM PDT

    Thank you Fidelity for making my investing life complete today!

    Posted: 02 Aug 2018 07:22 AM PDT

    Fidelity just took away all the minimums on their index funds and drastically lowered the fee's on all of them.

    I know the talk around town is how they lowered two funds to 0.00%....But who cares, because the really great funds are ALMOST FREE now after the fee drop.

    I know have a fully diversified index portfolio of the following:

    Fidelity S&P 500 index fund PREMIUM CLASS

    Fidelity Extended Market index fund PREMIUM

    Fidelity Total Foreign Stock Market PREMIUM

    FIdelity Emerging Markets PREMIUM

    Fidelity Small Cap index Fund PREMIUM

    Fidelity Large Cap Value Index Fund Premium

    Fidelity Nasdaq Index Fund PREMIUM

    and Fidelity Medical Technology and devices Sector fund (just because I use the Machines these guys make at work).

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

    That is 8 premium class index funds with expense ratios of roughly 0.01- 0.08 LOL! (the sector fund is 0.7) and I only put $50 into each fund where in the past it would of cost $10,000+ to get into each of these funds.

    We have truly just entered the golden age of investing and it brings a tear to my eye!

    I no longer have to screw with my ETF's not reinvesting the dividends an logging in trying to place limit orders everytime I add money to my account.

    This really is revolutionary, and I feel Fidelity even topped Vanguard with this one.

    P.S.

    Not only is this a game changer for fidelity losing market share to Vanguard. I dare to say that this almost makes ETF's irrelevant for long term investors. ETF's were basically the only way to go for investors just starting out, or investors who did not have $50,000 to properly diversify a portfolio in the lowest cost premium funds.

    Fidelity destroyed the minimums, and undercut the fee's that were the two main advantages index ETF's held over index mutual funds. This is such a game changer I see zero reason to even buy the ETF's anymore unless you are an active trader. My mind is totally blown.

    Thoughts on TCEHY?

    Posted: 02 Aug 2018 05:07 PM PDT

    I have been dollar cost averaging into Tencent's holding company shares (TCEHY) since my entry into the stock at ~$42. Last year's performance took it to a valuation just above $60 - but since Tencent annouced shrinking margins and Naspers took profits on 3% of their holdings, there has been a sustained sell-off. For this reason, I am curious about your thoughts on Tencent's short-term payoff for shrinking profit margins in favor of ramping up investments into associated businesses and startups.

    Why do people rip into Tesla for gov't assistance when GM, Ford, and Chrysler got bailed out for $80B during the 08-09 crash?

    Posted: 02 Aug 2018 08:22 AM PDT

    Bears love to act like Tesla's business was 100% financed by the US government but no one ever mentions the big boys that had to get bailed out in 2008 otherwise they would cease to exist. I don't get the double standard. If the established auto companies have never received a dime of government money then we can talk, but we clearly know that isn't the case. It's a tired narrative.

    The (real) Cautionary Tale of David Einhorn

    Posted: 02 Aug 2018 11:14 PM PDT

    I ran across this blog post on /r/securityanalysis and thought I'd share it here - https://lt3000.blogspot.com/2018/08/the-real-cautionary-tale-of-david.html

    It's an interesting take on the dangers and dynamics of short selling and how if a long position goes against you it reduces your further exposure, while if a short position goes against you it increases your exposure.

    A question for those who run a spread betting trading portfolio

    Posted: 03 Aug 2018 04:08 AM PDT

    I currently run an equities port on IG (A UK based trading platform).

    Tl;dr, my investment style has been very passive since initiation, as I have a 30 day minimum holding period. Given this port has been running since February last year, I was curious to know whether it'd be possible to find what my current sharpe ratio is? Either YTD, or since initiation.

    Any guidance would be great!

    "Technical Analysis"

    Posted: 03 Aug 2018 12:21 AM PDT

    Why do people believe this crap? Just look at this video:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMlbVk2Bugc&t=29s

    I know it's CNBC, and they are a joke. But how is this guy not laughed out of the building? He's just drawing lines on a screen.

    He said Amgen is "ready to take off" after 4 years, without providing any insight into their clinical pipeline... Are there investors that actually give people like this their money to invest based off of this type of login?

    If I want to know what Nasdaq will open at when markets open first thing in the morning, it should be exactly what Nasdaq futures are immediately before the opening bell, is that correct?

    Dividend stocks, when are they useful?

    Posted: 02 Aug 2018 09:24 PM PDT

    Dividend stocks tend to have lower returns. Why do people fixate on investing in these? Are they more safe than tech or mid cap?

    The ''you will make a fortune'' sectors?

    Posted: 03 Aug 2018 01:04 AM PDT

    Like the petroil in 900th century ( Rothschild's fortune ) there will be tecnlogical advances in every century and those will make the fortune of the fewer who invest on it.

    If I would say to name some possible bets on which to invest in, what would you name?

    I would say:

    - Graphene or Maxene

    - CRISPR

    -STEEM CELL tecnological

    - robotic prostheses

    -Elium3

    -Asteroid mining

    Some are more futuristic 50 years from now on ( -Elium3, Asteroid mining on the moon/Mars), some others are JUST AROUND THE CORNER (CRISPR, GRAPHENE / MAXENE)

    What are your bets for a Rothschild fortune like?

    I'll start -- ISRG b/c robotic surgery is the future of a sector with massive barriers to entry that they have navigated pretty well already.

    Is investing in bonds necessary for a portfolio?

    Posted: 02 Aug 2018 09:24 AM PDT

    I can't stand bonds they have such a low yield and your money is tied up in them. Are they really necessary? I've read money master the game by Tony Robbin's and the intelligent investor and both of them say I should be investing in them. Even the intelligent investor says I should put a minimum of 25% in bonds. What do you guys think?

    Questions about interests of fund

    Posted: 02 Aug 2018 10:10 PM PDT

    Hello

    Based on the information I found online a fund pays its holders interest as a dividend. So are dividends your interests nothing more or does it "contain" other things as well? I thought that dividends were only some amount of money the company pays out when they make extra profit.

    My understanding is that those are the 3 elements which are/have a direct relation with the money you get:

    - interest payout as a dividend - increase in share price - extra dividend payout based on profit?

    Is the interest you get a fixed percentage (like at a bank as well)? I am currently investing in the swda fund, but I couldn't find how much interest they pay and when they do so.

    Thanks

    Time to invest into turkey?

    Posted: 02 Aug 2018 04:01 PM PDT

    1) "Be greedy when others are fearfull"

    "Turkey's Economy Is So Hot That It May Face a Meltdown" https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/10/business/turkey-economy-erdogan.html

    The Ishares Turkish ETF ITKY dropped 34% in value this year, this might be the bottom?

    2) Syrian war at the turkish borders is pretty much over since Assad is almost completely in control of the country again. Could help the turkish economy as they could play a role in rebuilding the country.

    Don't know much about Turkey to be honest, but my feelings tell me things might go into the right direction sometime soon. I am thinking of waiting it out a bit longer since I still feel like it will drop a bit lower. But that could indicate a good buying opportunity.

    What do you guys think?

    Hypothetical: how would you manage a charitable foundation's funds?

    Posted: 02 Aug 2018 09:54 PM PDT

    How would you allocate investments given the following facts:

    • original corpus is 30 million

    • you must distribute 5% (determined on Jan. 1st) per year to charitable causes

    • you would like to maintain principal for as long as possible

    • you owe no capital gains tax from profitable sales
