    Good thing I passed over an investment opportunity here and put it in Moviepass instead.

    Mercedes Unveils First Tesla Rival in $12 Billion Attack

    Huawei Caught Cheating on Mobile Benchmarks

    Posted: 04 Sep 2018 10:19 AM PDT

    Provided example is Honor Play phone, which has benchmark ("BM") detection (think VW emissions scandal, but reverse goal). Phones turn off thermal & power limiting to achieve far greater test results than in real-world. What makes story notable is just how far Huawei skewed their data. Kirin 970-equipped Honor Play (marketed as a "gaming phone") saw benchmark fps ~double with BM detection enabled. Kirin is a subsidiary of Huawei, and, like most, is licensing from ARM, using TSMC for fab.

    After being confronted at IFA conference with discovery, Huawei's president of software, Dr. Wang Chenglu, stated this was done to compete with other Chinese manufacturers engaging in the same unfair practices and that they'd ensure "future benchmark data in presentations is independently verified by third parties at the time of the announcement."

    https://www.anandtech.com/show/13318/huawei-benchmark-cheating-headache/

    Huawei made up ~10% smartphones sold worldwide in Q3 2016, China making up a total of ~20% of global market share. Unclear how much backlash Chinese smartphone makers will suffer from this (tbh, doubt very much, but worth being mindful of anyway).

    How does something like buying fund that tracks VIX work?

    Posted: 05 Sep 2018 12:02 AM PDT

    How does the fund get the money if VIX rises since you can't directly buy VIX?

    How is Amazon supposed to be evaluated?

    Posted: 04 Sep 2018 08:29 PM PDT

    so my guess is amazon is valued closer to potential profits or cash out profits. i know they are a growth stock and not a value stock such as apple.

    i took a look at their net income, and even if i ignore R&D expenses, it seems that they are way behind apple in net profit.

    How are growth companies like Amazon valued? is it expected that amazon will beat apples net profits eventually?

    (my curiosity came from all the people saying amazon is overvalued and that its only worth 300M)

    Tesla: Don't Panic, Buy The Dip Instead

    Posted: 05 Sep 2018 03:48 AM PDT

    The big question is: has the bloodshed stopped? I believe it can still go to $220-$250 range as the SEC pressure on Elon because of the tweets intensifies and eventual company-specific news continue not to beat expectations (related to Model 3 specifically).

    Daily advice thread. All questions about your personal situation should be asked here

    Posted: 04 Sep 2018 05:05 AM PDT

    If your question is "I have $10,000, what do I do?" or anything similar. There is no single answer to this question, but we will also need A LOT MORE information if we are to give some sort of answer

    • How old are you?
    • Are you employed/making income? How much?
    • What are your objectives with this money? (buy a house? Retirement savings?)
    • What is your risk tolerance? (Do you mind risking it at blackjack or do you need to know its 100% safe?)
    • What are you current holdings? (Do you already have exposure to specific funds and sectors?)
    • Any other assets? House paid off? Cars? Expensive girlfriend? (not really an asset)
    • What is your time horizon? Do you need this money next month? Next 20yrs?
    • Any big debts?
    • Any other relevant financial information will be useful to give you a proper answer.

    Be aware that these answers are just opinions of Redditors and should be used as a starting point for your research. You should strongly consider seeing a registered financial rep before making any financial decisions!

    Could someone explain why Brazil economy is in such a bad state right now? Will it recover anytime soon

    Posted: 04 Sep 2018 10:23 AM PDT

    From my (very brief) understanding Brazil's economy is in a bad situation right now due to high unemployment levels, a weak Brazilian real and over population issues as well as the fact workers (specifically truckdrivers) will strike yet again very soon. I was wondering if I should invest in Brazilian stocks right now, they are on offer quite cheap but is their economy going to recover quite fast or anytime soon? or is it just going to keep plummeting

    Are there any other reasons I am missing that have resulted in them being in such a bad state right now? Maybe there are other reasons that I have missed - would love to be informed by those who know.

    Also is their economy likely to recover anytime soon (e.g 4/5 months) or will it be messed up for a much longer while. All answers are appreciated

    Does anybody know what the price of Argentinean farm land is doing in the face of the recent economic turbulence there?

    Posted: 04 Sep 2018 06:36 AM PDT

    I've always thought farmland is an interesting hedge against economic disruptions, as its existence is limited but is a fundamental necessity. Anybody know what is going on with hectare pricing as of the past week in Argentina? I can't seem to find any information on it.

    Trying a little experiment

    Posted: 04 Sep 2018 10:48 PM PDT

    I assembled 20 stocks - the FANG stocks, some stuff from the daily list of top gainers - that are generally monotonic (I.e. most of the time period options for their charts showed positive growth). I put them in an excel sheet simulating a equally weighted index with a starting equity equal to about $164K. I don't know what I expect it to do so it's not technically an "experiment" but I'm curious to see the minimum amount of information one needs to see a nice little profit. We'll see what happens.

    Why can't people invest in the S&P 500 directly?

    Posted: 04 Sep 2018 09:28 PM PDT

    This may sound like a stupid question. It may be a stupid question.

    Why can't people invest in indexes like the S&P 500 directly?

    I understand what the S&P 500 is: an index of the top 500 companies by market capitalization. If this index is so well-defined and so well-understood, why are there so many different funds that track the S&P 500? Why track the S&P 500 when you can copy it? And why do those funds perform differently? Shouldn't their values be identical to the value of the S&P 500 that's reported in the news?

    Is it possible to invest in a fund that is identical to the S&P 500? Why or why not?

    Anyone have any insight into Bell Canada (BCE)?

    Posted: 04 Sep 2018 07:52 PM PDT

    Rookie in this space. I've had some shares gifted to me. It's at a 2 year low and I'm curious about anyone's opinions on the current state of the Canadian telecom world.

    Appears Telus is near an all time high in comparison.

    Anyone using tight stop losses on SQ?

    Posted: 04 Sep 2018 03:42 PM PDT

    What is your strategy?

    This stock has been on a rip, and I'm sitting on some tasty gains. I want to protect my gains, but also don't want to get taken out by volatility and miss further run-up. This stock has been awesome to me, and I'm happy to keep holding. On the other hand wouldn't mind shifting some winnings from SQ into my core GOOG and AMZN positions.

    I'm thinking of selling half at a stop of 2% or around $87. Any tips here?

    What scam is this grant cardone guy running?

    Posted: 04 Sep 2018 07:16 PM PDT

    I stumbled upon this guy's youtube video where he bought a jet then watched some of his other videos.

    His videos seem to be primarily focused on "look how rich I am" and then telling people to put all their money into his cardone capital fund. What exactly is this guy selling? Apparently his fund buys large apartment complexes? and the people who put their money in the fund are basically investing into a REIT? I'm sure the guy is milking that fund with fees, if not something worse.

    Anyone know the inside scoop?

    The Value of Roku Stock & TheMotleyFool

    Posted: 04 Sep 2018 03:20 PM PDT

    Hey Everyone! I'm 16 and new to investing and the stock market in general. The Roku Stock is at $60 right now and I use one of these at my house. It's like a smart TV, but The Motley Fool is saying Roku is good for growth hunters, but not value investors. Why is this? They seem to have a solid foundation and good business. Do you guys think the price is too high for the value of the company?

    $AGLE maybe a potential swing trade?

    Posted: 04 Sep 2018 06:31 PM PDT

    Had a hard drop today, but maybe they have room to make a profit ? RSI looks good , watch for an uptrend back to $11 for a decent swing trade?

    Value, growth, day trade, etc... fundamental, technical, speculative, etc.... Stocks, bonds, forex, etc... What is everyone's investment style? Just curious.

    Posted: 04 Sep 2018 11:42 AM PDT

    Personally, I'm of the Warren Buffett school of thought. However, I recently started learning technical for shorter term trades. I used to dabble in Forex, but got hammered, so I quit, lol. I have never traded bonds. Day trading interests me, but it's out of my circle of competence, and seems very dangerous.

    What is going on with MAXR and why it's time (or not) to buy?

    Posted: 04 Sep 2018 11:39 AM PDT

    I've been looking at MAXR for a while and I don't quite understand why it's been dropping this low. As far as I know the evaluation is still at $64.63. Does anybody know why (or not) it would be a good time to buy? I'm looking for a long term investment.

    Best way to constantly pull closing stock prices into a google sheets document

    Posted: 04 Sep 2018 05:26 PM PDT

    Hi, as the title states I'm interested if a script/code exists that would constantly pull the closing price of a certain amount of tickers on a daily basis (as well as the S&P500 index).

    I've done some searching online, and I see that it definitely is possible, but am wondering if anyone here has experience doing it, and could share it if so.
