    Stocks - TSLA uptick rule

    Stocks - TSLA uptick rule


    TSLA uptick rule

    Posted: 30 Sep 2018 05:51 AM PDT

    Just a quick reminder, since Tsla dropped more than 10% on Friday the uptick rule is still in effect Monday meaning shorts can't sell at market. This will make Monday's rally extra spicy.

    Simple P/E ratio question

    Posted: 30 Sep 2018 06:22 AM PDT

    Basicly the price earnigns ratio, the earning part is earnings per year , right?

    So a P/E of 150 = 150 years for that stock to earn what you paid for it at the current earnings rate of last year ?

    What are your favorite defensive stocks?

    Posted: 30 Sep 2018 08:12 AM PDT

    Looking to add a few defensive stocks and offload some tech stocks, what are your favorite dividend paying stocks that are a bit more on the defensive side? I am considering $BUD as it pays 5% dividend and is in a sector that outperforms in bear markets.

    Stock Market Thread for the trading week beginning October 1st, 2018

    Posted: 30 Sep 2018 07:38 AM PDT

    Hello traders of the r/stocks sub!

    Here is everything you need to know to get you ready for the new trading week of October 1st - 5th, 2018.

    S&P 500 posts best quarter since 2013 - (Source)

    • For the quarter, the S&P 500 rose 7.2 percent, its best quarterly gain since the fourth of quarter 2013.
    • Equities rose broadly as investors cheered stronger-than-expected quarterly results.
    • The major indexes closed little changed on Friday, however, amid lingering trade fears.

    Stocks could be bucking for new highs, even as the market deals with negative cross currents in what historically has been a weak month.


    Stocks closed little changed as investors wrapped up a quarter that featured strong gains.


    For the quarter, the S&P 500 rose 7.2 percent, its best quarterly gain since the fourth quarter of 2013. The Nasdaq Composite also notched a 7.1 percent quarterly gain, its best since first quarter 2017. The Dow Jones Industrial Average outperformed in the third quarter, rising 9.3 percent.


    Health care was the best-performing sector of the third quarter, surging 14.1 percent, its best quarterly gain since the first quarter of 2013. Industrials and tech, meanwhile, rose 9.7 percent and 8.5 percent.


    Equities rose broadly as investors cheered stronger-than-expected quarterly results. Calendar second-quarter earnings for the S&P 500 rose 25 percent on a year-over-year basis, with 77.6 percent of companies topping analyst expectations, FactSet data show.


    Heading into the fourth quarter, investors will face uncertainty amid a hotly anticipated mid-term election in November. Democrats are expected to gain a majority in the House as well as increase their seat count in the Senate. This could delay, or even thwart, the Trump administration's economic agenda.


    Trade concerns, which capped gains on Friday, will also linger heading into year-end. The S&P 500 fell marginally Friday to 2,913.98 while the Nasdaq eked out a small gain to close at 8,046.35. The Dow, meanwhile, climbed 18.38 points to 26,458.31 as Intel and Boeing outperformed.

    Is This Really One of the Calmest Markets Ever?

    As hard as it might be to believe, U.S. equities historically have been calm over the past few months. "If all you listened to was the news, you would think markets were having huge bouts of volatility. Turns out, that isn't true at all, as the past three months have been among the least volatile in history," explained Senior Market Strategist Ryan Detrick.

    As our LPL Chart of the Day shows, the S&P 500 Index has now gone 64 consecutive days without a 1% change either up or down, barely topping the streak of 62 days seen in 2014. Going back to 1990, only 1993, 1995 and 2017 had longer streaks without a 1% daily change, and those years are widely considered among the least volatile in history.

    (CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

    How many people would be aware of this? We are willing to guess not many, as even we were surprised, and we do this each and every day. This reminded us of a recent stat in Barron's, citing a survey from robo-advisory firm Betterment, in which 18% of the 2,000 people surveyed actually thought stocks had been down the past 10 years. Given the S&P 500 Index is poised for a tenth consecutive yearly gain in 2018 (on a total return basis), the perception that stocks have been down the past 10 years seems inconceivable.

    Let's sum it up like this: When it comes to investing, we need to remove our biases and simply follow the facts.


    October's First Trading Day Not So Great over Last 21 years

    Based upon data in the soon to be available Stock Trader's Almanac for 2018 on page 86, the first trading day of October is DJIA's fourth weakest of all monthly first trading days since September 1997. August, September and December have been weaker. S&P 500 has been down 11 of the last 21 years on the first trading day of October. DJIA's record is slightly better with 10 declines and NASDAQ's performance has been the worst of the group, down 11 times with an average loss of 0.35%. DJIA's current four week streak of declines on Monday (or the first trading day of the week) could easily become five.

    It seems like technical and fundamental trading involve wholly opposite philosophies but people tell me to use both for the best results.

    Posted: 30 Sep 2018 09:42 AM PDT

    I understand fundamental investing fairly well. You look at a company and value it based off of predicted future cash flows. If the price of its stocks falls it becomes a more attractive buy, if stocks goes up it gets less attractive. But technical traders do the opposite. If something goes up and has a bullish trend they are more inclined to buy even though they are now buying at a higher price which is riskier as it imputes higher expectations on the company. Technical trading doesn't seem be rational to me as you just buy stuff because other people are. Seems like this line of thinking has fueled all famous manias throughout history. Can someone resolve this dichotomy for me.

    Blockchain ETFs

    Posted: 30 Sep 2018 11:55 AM PDT

    Hey guys, does anyone know of some solid ETFs that focus primarily on block chain technology? I believe that blockchain is a big up and coming technology that will take off in the next few years. Anyone have good recommendations of companies/funds that are focusing heavily on the technology? Also what are your thoughts on this new sector?

    When do we expect a FB bounce back?

    Posted: 30 Sep 2018 11:20 AM PDT

    Seems to be holding out at ~160. Could definitely drop to previous lows with the recent breach. My question is, for how long will this dry period last for FB, and how important are the November earnings to the near term movements of the stock?

    I know this is impossible to know, but I thought I'd ask anyway. Thanks in advance!

I know we havent had a crash in a decade, but isnt it a gamblers fallacy to think something is due because it hasnt happened in a while? Which non-US equity would you suggest as insulation from a US bear market? Thank you kindly.

    Question about large stock price change right on market open.

    Posted: 29 Sep 2018 10:37 PM PDT

    Noob question: Take for example TSLA closes 9/27/2018 at $307 and drops 11% lower the instant the market opens on 9/28/2018.

    Does this happen because during the off trading hours people hear bad news and decide they want to sell at 'market' price and place orders before market open while at the same time buyers have set their limit orders to around $278 (also before market open).

    I guess without some sort of bad news over the night have buyers placing limit orders at prices closer to previous days close?

    Is that more or less what happens when you see these huge drops that basically happens the instant the market opens? I guess the reverse is true for instant jumps. Lots of people placing orders to buy "at market price" while sellers set their limit orders much higher.

    First-time DSPP investor

    Posted: 29 Sep 2018 04:08 PM PDT

    I'm looking to buy stock for the first time and think my best bet is to go the DSPP route rather than use a broker. I'm not wanting to invest anything large (>$200) for my first time, and wanted to get opinions on the best companies to go with. This is more experimental than anything, as it is my first time ever investing. Just wanting to see how it works and hopefully leave a little richer at the end of the day. Thanks for your help!
