    We encourage all our visitors to ask those investing related questions they were always too afraid to ask.

    The members of /r/investing are here to answer and educate!

    NOTE 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!

    Fidelity ZERO International Index Fund (FZILX)

    Technically they only had $753.5M+$234.18M=$987.68M on August 31 but according to CNBC that's good enough to round up to a billion.

    Elastic files for IPO

    Posted: 06 Sep 2018 03:52 AM PDT

    Elastic, the provider of subscription-based data search software used by Dell, Netflix, The New York Times and others, has filed for IPO. They're looking to raise $100M.

    This IPO is similar to recent tech IPO's like Twilio, Mulesoft, and MongoDB, all in the Open Source SaaS space.

    Some Key Stats:

    • They're growing at almost 100%. Twilio filed for IPO growing at 70% per year. Mulesoft was growing at 60%. Mongo was growing at 50%.
    • Losing $50M on $150M of revenue (-33% net margin). In line with Twilio and Mulesoft. MongoDB was significantly worse at -60% net margins.
    • We'll probably see a valuation of ~15x the proposed amount they're looking to raise.

    An interesting company, with great tech solving a real problem. Do you think this will follow the successful trend of recent IPO's like $TWLO and $MDB?

    Posted: 06 Sep 2018 02:19 AM PDT

    I threw 50k I've been saving up at equity ETFs after much debate about the right bond/stock allocation % for my age. Old heads, feel free to shout at me for that, I'll wear it. And yes I have an Emergency fund :)

    What do you think? Being a basic bitch I went full Vangaurd:

    (US)

    VTI 26%

    VOT 22%

    VBK 20%

    (International & Australia (I'm Aussie)):

    VEU 10%

    VAS 12%

    VSO 10%

    The nervous, cash loving part of me is pleading: Did I make any MASSIVE mistakes?

    How to find average annual return?

    Posted: 06 Sep 2018 02:08 AM PDT

    Hey guys, I'm just getting into investing. I'm trying to compare the "average annual return" of stocks that my 401k offers to S&P 500. I've tried different websites but none of them say anything about average annual return.

    It seems like MACD is the default indicator. If I just look at the chart of S&P 500 and another stock and compare the MACD, does that show me the average annual return?

    If not, is there any way I can easily compare average annual return of different stocks?

    Thank you for your time.

    Fidelity Zero free funds vs more diversified Fidelity index funds. Pay nothing or pay to get slightly more diversified?

    Posted: 05 Sep 2018 01:06 PM PDT

    Would it be better to invest in Fidelity's free index funds or pay to be a bit more diversified with small caps with Fidelity's regular rock bottom low cost index funds?

    According to Fidelity, the Fidelity Zero Total Market Index Fund (FZROX) owns 2,500 companies, and the international stock fund (FZILX) has about 2,300 companies. Both of these funds are free, with a 0% expense ratio.

    The big difference between the Zero funds and the regular Fidelity index funds is that there are no small caps in the international fund and fewer small caps in the Zero total US market fund than their regular paid index funds.

    The Fidelity Total International Index Fund (FTIPX) which has an international small cap with an expense ratio of .06 has 4673 stocks. The Fidelity Total US Market Index Fund (FSTMX) has 3402 stocks in it.

    I am just starting to invest in a Roth IRA and don't have enough to buy to admiral shares at Vanguard yet. Vanguard funds are far more diversified than Fidelity. By comparison, the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) owns about 3,638 companies, and the Vanguard Total International Stock ETF (VXUS) about 6,149 companies.

    So to recap,

    The Fidelity Total US Market Index Fund (FSTMX) has 3402 stocks and costs .015%. Fidelity Zero Total Market Index Fund (FZROX) owns 2,500 companies and costs nothing.

    Fidelity ZERO International Index Fund (FZILX) has about 2,300 companies and no small caps but is free. Fidelity Total International Index Fund (FTIPX) which has a small cap with an expense ratio of .06 has 4673 stocks.

    All these funds should perform relatively similarly to the benchmarks equivalents except for the Zero International fund that doesn't have small caps. The difference between the Zero US Stock market and a more diversified fund is not the biggest difference as the small cap stocks have a much smalller cap weighting in the index, but small caps have historically had the best returns over the long term.

    Which way would you recommend I invest?

    Low cost alternative to GICS?

    Posted: 05 Sep 2018 03:07 PM PDT

    Institutional investors have GICS to map peers of companies from Sector all the way down to Industry Group. Are there other alternatives that can be used? I know there is SIC codes but I have found that these codes don't do a good job of mapping peers especially when you try to compare the classification code for the same company by GICS vs SIC. Looking for a reasonable cost alternative if one exists or ideas on how to map a group of peer companies?

    Justice Department Nearing Antitrust Approval of Health Mergers Combining CVS-Aetna, Cigna-Express Scripts

    Posted: 05 Sep 2018 12:04 PM PDT

    Worth noting and looking for your feedback on what you think this means for CVS:

    "The Justice Department has identified some competition concerns surrounding the nearly $70 billion CVS-Aetna deal, and the companies will be required to sell off assets related to Medicare drug coverage to resolve those concerns, people familiar with the deliberations said. The size of the asset sales couldn't immediately be learned, but one potential buyer in talks for the assets is WellCare Health Plans Inc., WCG +0.11% people familiar with the matter said. Final discussions between CVS, Aetna and the Justice Department about asset sales are ongoing, these people said."

    Question: are analyst's price targets their expectations of what the stock will do in the year (could be because of a lot of factors such as hype, or excessive pessimism etc.) or the result of an analysis of what the stock is worth?

    ETF and robo cost?

    Posted: 05 Sep 2018 09:52 PM PDT

    I recently learned holding ETF costs somewhere around 0.10% - 0.9% which would be not negligible if your asset is sizable. Robo advisors charges 0.25% - 0.50% (or more) *on top of these ETF cost* which sounds insane. How would it make sense? Would it be much better to just hold single stocks by myself?

    Investing savings account money in AT&T or Verizon for short/medium term? (3-6 months)

    Posted: 05 Sep 2018 12:58 PM PDT

    Hi All,

    What do you think of storing savings account money is a stock like AT&T for the high dividend? its currently trading a a low and has a Very Low P/E ratio already. I figured this is a better option then the 1.8% you can get at gold man savings account or something. ​ I have no plans to use the money right now, but maybe in 6 months I might use for a downpayment on another loan or something

    Thanks for the updates! Advice taken! What would be some medium risk investments you would choose? IE: if you were trying to save 100k for a house deposit over 3-5 years where would you park it? And consider it medium risk with you being OK to wait 1-2 years more if market crashes, etc

    VTIAX Performance

    Posted: 05 Sep 2018 07:05 AM PDT

    I've been less than impressed with the performance of this fund. Looking back it's only grown a couple of dollars since it's inception in 2010. Compared with VTSAX that has nearly tripled over that same time period. I know the recommendation is to diversify with both domestic and international investments but how can one justify owning VTIAX with it's dismal returns?

    Tesla acckunts for 20% of my portfolio, I went all out since the model 3. I left my Amazon calls (and a few dips and equities) yesterday after leaving them unattended after reaching that 1 trillion cap. Now I lost about 60k in one day. What to do now?? The remaining 80 is stagnant.
