    Advice for new investor

    Posted: 06 Sep 2018 08:31 PM PDT

    What is some advice that you would give somebody that is new to investing?

    Anything you wish you knew then that you now know?

    Also, are there any books or blogs I could read to help inform me on investing.

    I know with any investment is a risk. I'm just wanting info from people that have been doing this for a bit and I want to learn a little from those folks.

    Investment Education Apps?

    Posted: 06 Sep 2018 10:03 PM PDT

    Are there any reliable learning apps that offer lessons about investing and stock trading? I am thinking of something to the tone of datacamp.com for data science. This resource offers video lessons and hands on learning opportunities. They offer a website and an app that provide the learning. Is there a resource like this for investing/stock trading?

    Better (faster) news feed?

    Posted: 06 Sep 2018 04:34 PM PDT

    TL;DR: I'm looking for something that be faster than what I'm getting. Schwab's news ticker tends to tell me important news that will affect a stock price long after it's already affected the stock price.

    I'm on Schwab's Streetsmart Edge. A few of times recently, I've seen a stock moving wildly with no explanation. I check the news ticker with that stock symbol. Nothing. Then, hours later, a I get a report about the reason, all in past tense.

    A good example: I had some CRON puts, The stock plunged; I checked Edge's built in news feature with the stock symbol and couldn't find any reason. So, figuring it was just a fluke, I sold all my puts for a profit.

    But the stock kept going down. And down.

    Later, a story finally shows up: Cronos Drops 25% after Citron Report

    Seriously? That's the first I hear of this news? AFTER it's already dropped?

    I would have expected to get something about the report being released. Clearly, everybody else did.

    It doesn't help me much to know that the stock dropped a couple hours ago. And tell me the reason why?

    If there's a fire at a company's facility, I'd like know about it at roughly the same time everybody else does, not in a story about the company facing bankruptcy, with a an explanation that the fire yesterday had something to do with it. Which is kind of how I'm feeling about Schwab's new ticker.

    (I've tried making some Google alerts, but I must be using that wrong, because I'm not getting them the way I expected.)

    Is this why people pay for something like Bloomberg news?

    Noob question about bonds

    Posted: 07 Sep 2018 01:34 AM PDT

    I'm reading the yield on bonds goes up when interest rates go up because people sell the bonds as they're interest rate is less than the latest bonds.

    So am I right in saying it's a good time to buy bonds when an increase in interest rates is announced?

    Should you wait until the interest rate is "high" before buying them? What is a "high" interest rate?

    Now would be a bad time to buy bonds right?

    And also let's say interest does rise but you have bought a bond, is that such a terrible thing? You're still getting a % gain right?

    How do you sustain steady investing over long periods of time

    Posted: 06 Sep 2018 09:18 PM PDT

    I'm a passive investor, not into market timing at all. I'm also not trying to get into valuations and math.

    Yet, over the past ten years, I'm investing lesser and lesser because of discomfort with prices. I bought Amazon when it was $200, Google at $300, VTSAX at $36, a house when it was $200k that currently costs $350k. I have cash to invest, but find myself unable to pull the trigger because now it's too expensive.

    There must be others who have the same hesitation as me. It probably has a name. No, it's not because I think things are overvalued - it's simply that I bought it cheaper so now I'm unable to buy it at the higher price.

    I've been buying all manner of new etfs to help with this since they have price histories that I'm not familiar with but I don't want to fragment my investments anymore since I'm not a savvy investor. How do I deal with this dread? I haven't previously used automatic withdrawals to invest, but I'm going to try that over the rest of the year.

    How do I explain my friends they are wasting their money on a scam?

    Posted: 06 Sep 2018 09:54 AM PDT

    All of my friends have been trying to recruit me for a pyramid scheme masked as a forex trading group that asks for 200 euros initial investment, and then basically they want them to recruit more people, meaning the people at the top are earning while the ones at the bottom are dreaming of being at the top.

    While I understand this is a scam, I can't argument against the fact that if they reach a comfortable position on the pyramid they will make some money (which I think is illegal because it is not taxed).

    How do I explain them that they are wasting their time and money?

    Day Trading

    Posted: 06 Sep 2018 01:56 PM PDT

    The amount of people who come into this sub and ask about day trading is way too damn high. In 100% of these cases it's a terrible idea. The only people it makes sense for are not coming to Reddit for investment advice.

     

    I briefly browsed the FAQs and didn't see a portion devoted to risky investment vehicles, specifically things centered around dreams of getting rich quickly (uncovered options, day trading, penny stocks, crypto, etc.); is there not a need for a section specifically devoted to this?

    App which summarizes net profit as graph

    Posted: 07 Sep 2018 12:05 AM PDT

    Hi r/investing

    Anyone knows an App which I could use for the following use case:

    - Enter how many stocks I purchased by date

    - Enter how many stocks I sold by date

    -> App sumarizes net profit over time as graph.

    I see the net profit as integer in the app from my trading acc, but I care how the number changed over time.

    Thanks

    Mutual Funds and Taxes

    Posted: 07 Sep 2018 03:31 AM PDT

    I understand this gets complicated quickly so I'm making an attempt to simplify the question.

    Mutual funds generate tax bills (how much and when is variable, I know, but stay with me). Mutual funds can also grow quite large over time. It would seem to me that monthly purchases of a mutual fund, spanned over years or decades, would eventually generate a tax bill that I wouldn't be able to handle.

    As a very simplified example, suppose I had, over time, put $500k into Vanguard's [VFIAX](https://investor.vanguard.com/mutual-funds/profile/VFIAX) (what I understand to be their S&P 500 index). That fund has distributions which, to me, means a tax bill. And at $500k worth of shares, it would seem to be a rather large one at that.

    Is this the point where I'd have to start looking at other vehicles/funds or am I overthinking this?

    How do you make a really rough guess about whether a company is likely to pay a dividend in a few years based on their financial statements?

    Posted: 07 Sep 2018 02:58 AM PDT

    Let's pretend DCF is the whole story and we know the discount rate. All companies go out of business eventually and dividends move that risk away from shareholders; but let's not get too caught up on whether dividends actually matter.

    Reddit's favourite company Micron hasn't paid a dividend for 22 years. Is there a way to look at historic financial statements and say 'yes that makes sense'. Are there clues in the financial statements that would make you guess a dividend might get paid soon?

    What are some public co. that specializes in hoverboards, electric skateboards, electric scooters and ebikes?

    What’s the fastest way to roll 250us that you can put aside monthly into finance instruments in order to buy a second property to rent out for example. I’m 28 and living in Norway.

    Posted: 07 Sep 2018 02:42 AM PDT

    I'm wondering what's the quickest way to grow 200-300 us that i can put aside every month (sometimes more) in Norway to buy an apartment to rent it out. I already have my own house and a full time job and i'm paying the loan for the house. I have no other loans.

    Interested in RobinHood App But....

    Posted: 07 Sep 2018 01:21 AM PDT

    I got through most of the setup for the app until I got to the bank information section. I'm not sure I'm comfortable with an app having my bank login information, is this really necessary? I'm not talking routing and account numbers, I'm talking username and passwords. That's completely absurd if you ask me, in any scope of the word.

    Stocks Vs Forex Vs Commodities Vs Indices - Which is your favourite

    Posted: 07 Sep 2018 12:34 AM PDT

    Hi there investors of Reddit. I have been investing for a very long time on a very small scale and have very little experience in all of the instruments mentioned above. It can get overwhelming when there is too much to look out for and too much going on. So I have decided to specialize in one of the four above, improve at trading the instrument and start making some money. I obviously won't be completely restricted to that instrument but I will spend most of my energy and time working on the said instrument. Which one is your favourite and why?
