    Anyone invested in Canadian Lumber stocks?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2018 01:37 PM PDT

    Looking at companies like west Fraser, interfor, canfor, stella-jones, and they all seem relatively undervalued/overlooked. I'd imagine the recent dip some have seen is due to US anti-dumping and countervailing tariffs.

    Would like to know if anyone is long on any of these and what value they see in them.

    Stocks fell 18% after a ER best and raise. Looking to see what opinions are there for this as there's no real catalyst for the drop...Buy the dip, or run for the hills?

    Disclaimer: I own 200 shares already at 31.93.

    Thoughts on SPOT?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2018 01:22 PM PDT

    The only hope i saw for spotify is when they will be able to work directly with the artists. Which is probably the only chance for them to become profitable. But this is taking them a bit to long for me.

    Thats why i'm bearish now on spot. Because the competition is going to get at the same level of quality (AI recommandation, free offerings,...) within 1 year or so.

    CME Group growth strategy?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2018 06:13 AM PDT

    CME Group (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) recently came up as a Motley Fool recommendation and I wonder what's your take on them. I couldn't really find anything on their growth strategy as I'm only looking to invest for realistic growth.

    Stocks to Buy September

    Posted: 01 Sep 2018 09:36 AM PDT

    Hey, I am looking to create a post where people can talk about relevant stocks through the month of September. I will be posting what I want, thinking, and am investing in and I am just looking for feedback and good investing conversation.

    Here's what I am currently investing in:

    - Chronos (CRON)

    - Amazon (AMZN)

    - Micron (MU)

    - Advanced Microdevices (AMD)

    - Apple (AAPL)

    I am going to expand my portfolio with some ETF's soon. I was thinking about MJ, SPY, or Gold. Does anyone have any thoughts on long term moderate to aggressive ETF's?

    I am also thinking about investing into Aphira, TLRY, and EA.

    I am seriously considering TI and VISA as my next buys.

    Is VLKAY (Volkswagen) not trading anymore?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2018 08:35 AM PDT

    Bought a few shares about 2 years ago and now it says 0 in my portfolio and no chart info on Yahoo finance. Sorry for any ignorance, haven't really been keeping up with any news regarding it and was wondering if anyone knew. What steps should I take at this point?

    Sell Microsoft stock?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2018 08:16 AM PDT

    Hello, I'm new to this reddit and stocks (I don't really have an idea what I'm doing and am just buying what stock I feel like might be profitable. I know this is not the best way and I want to start reading about investing, but so far it's been working out pretty well for me). If I violate any rules or there's a better place to post this, please tell me.

    I bought 10 Microsoft stocks at 60€ each, now they're at 96€. I'm thinking about waiting till they hit 100€ and then selling them, because I don't want to lose everything again.

    Do you think this is likely, or will Microsoft continue to reliably grow (I'm kinda worried because I feel like it's been going too smoothly).

    Edit: I also have some more stocks, but they're all from tech firms (which I was lucky with so far, but I'm getting a bit nervous): Facebook, Alphabet, Amazon.

    Is this very risky? Should I diversify?

    What are some good stocks you recommend for Swing Trading?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2018 11:32 PM PDT

    Hi guys! I'm new to the stock market as I started 15 days ago. Currently trying to swing trade and I've been doing great so far. I'm currently up 8%. I think I've just gotten lucky so far and I expect some losses coming soon.

    Anyways what are the some good stocks to swing trade? I've been mainly sticking to Microsoft, Activision Blizzard, Cisco, Twitter, HP, and AMD so far. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

    How predictable are stock prices?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2018 09:14 AM PDT

    I'm a complete novice, and this is a theory I have on stocks, it would be nice if you could point out any wrong assumptions or conclusions I made.

    I'm thinking that either one of these statements would have to be true:

    1) Stock prices are (almost completely) unpredictable.
    2) Stock prices are (to a relatively big extent) predictable.

    If 1) is true, the question arises why there are so many magazines and online articles that give advice on trading? They would be mostly guessing and only be right about 50% of the time, so you wouldn't need to listen to their advice at all.

    If 2) is true, then I see the following possibilities:
    either:
    A) stock prices are easy to predict; there are a few factors (whatever they are, but they should not be hard to find out) that determine the growth of a stock. If you always act according to these factors, you would with very high probability win money in the long run.
    B) there are experts (for example people who write articles on these subjects) who can predict prices. So if you always do what these experts are doing, you too will win money in the long run.

    The only issue I see with this theory at the moment is that you can't (or if you can, it probably is very hard) predict big financial crisises, even if you are sure that you predict the price of a certain stock.

    It can't be that easy, right? Where are my mistakes?

    TTWO, a godly stock for the next few years?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2018 04:41 PM PDT

    With RD2 releasing in October with online and dlc and probably a similar business model to shark cards for GTA5.

    And then somewhere in the next 3 years, a GTA6 release with the same business model, shark cards.

    Their business model is insanely profitable and the player base for RD2 and GTA6 will be much greater than RD1 and GTA5. Thoughts on price predictions for 3 years time (assuming RD2 and GTA6 release).

    Hang Seng and China

    Posted: 31 Aug 2018 08:11 PM PDT

    I was looking over the chart of the Hang Seng and comparing it to the S&P 500 over the past year. Obviously where these two indexes take turns is right after the late January / Early February correction that basically every major index had. The S&P has recovered and made new ATH's in the process while the Hang Seng has struggled and actually gone even lower after the Jan/Feb correction.

    Obviously a lot of this has to do with tariffs and currency manipulation on the part of the Chinese, but the fundamentals of their major companies and players have not changed. What this tells me at least is the beat down on the Hang Seng isn't necessarily warranted, at least not as bad as it has been.

    Amazon has catapulted the S&P along with Apple and MSFT to name a few others. Nothing about their businesses is necessarily different than it was before the Jan/Feb correction, so why is the Hang Seng different?

    Has Tencent all of a sudden fallen off the face of the earth? Their revenue growth looked quite strong and their margin ratios falling were overhyped. Geely continues to improve and reported extremely strong earnings not long ago. I could go on, but the point I'm trying to make here is fundamentals of the companies in the Hang Seng have not changed dramatically enough to warrant a fall like this, especially considering the run the S&P has had.

    So ultimately my question to the forum is how long will it be before we see the Hang Seng catching up to the S&P and setting new ATH's? Can people, like myself, who are exposed to China use the tariffs in the meantime to load up on shares at lower valuations to cash in on the inevitable bounce back? It's not a matter of if so much, more so time.. how much time?

    Black Friday is coming. Is it usual to buy call's on retailers for Dec 2018?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2018 10:09 PM PDT

    I'm a developer in the ecommerce/retail space. Also a couple months new to investing so I'm playing with what I know.

    Is it pretty normal to buy call's on retailer's you know will perform during Black Friday leading into the December Holiday Season? Like Best Buy, Ulta, Walmart, Target.

    Why do some stocks move in straight flat lines with rounded angles (example $INS) day by day. While most stocks fluctuate enough to where there are no straight horizontal lines (example: 99% of stocks)

    Posted: 31 Aug 2018 08:51 PM PDT

    Title. It doesn't make sense to me why some stock prices do this.
