    Bundesbank suggests Italy should expropriate 20% of consumer's wealth to reduce debt load

    I am not sure what is more crazy that this is being proposed at all or that the proposal comes from a high-level official (deputy economist, head of Bundesbank public finance) of another government. Says everything about the German interpretation of "solidarity".

    Do housing prices always go down in a recession?

    Posted: 27 Oct 2018 04:14 PM PDT

    The 2008 recession, which stemmed from the subprime mortgage crisis, drove down housing prices everywhere. Does this happen (to an extent) with every recession? What about during a correction/bear market? Or did it only happen during the 2008 recession /because/ of the subprime mortgage crisis?

    2002 financial collapse

    Posted: 27 Oct 2018 04:39 PM PDT

    I was a teen at this time but I remember the collapse being blamed on 9/11 and how it caused the markets to collapse due to war time fears or something like that.

    Is this true or did ENRON cause this collapse and just dodged the blame ?

    Just looking for insight from the people that lived and lost during those years.

    I've got ~$5,000 in the bank that is not earning much interest (~0.2%). Would rather invest it but don't know where to start?

    Posted: 28 Oct 2018 03:38 AM PDT

    I have heard that Vanguard is a good idea, but wanting other options so i can invest in multiple areas to minimize potential losses. And is it worth waiting a little bit and invest in companies when the S&P 500 and the ASX (aus stock exchange, I'm an aussie) likely falls a bit more and shares are cheaper?

    U.K Banks and Financial system

    Posted: 27 Oct 2018 06:30 PM PDT

    We have all seen bank stocks tumble during 2008-2009. My question is, why didn't UK banks recover like most other financial systems. US banks came out much ahead post recession (expect for Citi and BAC). Canadian banks all recovered post recession. But UK banks tumbled and never really recovered. I mean most dropped from trading for thousands of pounds to double digits. Also, why do they not pay any dividends?

    Was there share dilution? Reverse splits? Shitty recovery?

    Tax Loss Harvesting

    Posted: 27 Oct 2018 01:07 PM PDT

    I just reallocated into VTSAX, right before this correction. Hence I'm considering to do some tax loss harvesting in my taxable account, since the latest market drop has caused me a loss of -14k$ currently. YTD I have ~2k realized taxable gains. So I'm hoping to offset around 12k for the next 4 years from my income tax ;)

    I am planning to exchange VTSAX to VLCAX on Monday. Other funds I own:

    • HSA: VIIIX, VSMAX

    • IRA (Trad., Roth): FZROX

    • 401k: VINIX, VEXAX

    Last dividends received by VTSAX on 9/27.

    My plan is to stay with VLCAX indefinitely, possibly changing back to VTSAX if there are no or minor capital gains after 30 days, or if it drops further...

    Do you see any issues with my plan?

    Conservative options trade for anyone looking to buy VTI after a bit more of a decline

    Posted: 28 Oct 2018 04:42 AM PDT

    VTI is currently ~10% off its highs (down to 135 from 151) and I know many aren't confident in the market's direction right now. With options premiums being high right now, there are some nice opportunities for anyone wanting to take a longer term position but also take some risk off the table.

    The November 120/125 VTI put front spread is trading for a $0.45 credit right now, so you can sell two of the November 120 puts and buy one of the November 125 puts for a $45 credit. If the market stays flat or rallies, you get to keep the $45, which is a 0.4% return on $11,455 in capital, assuming you cash-secure the put. That's 2.6% annualized, which isn't bad at all.

    If the market drops another 10% (max profit on this trade is with VTI at $120) you make $525, which is a 4.5% return (30% annualized), but you'd also have the opportunity to assess and roll this out a month or two.

    If the market tanks, you can get assigned your shares of VTI at $120 but also collect the initial premium for the short put AND the max profit on the put debit spread, which means you are effectively buying VTI at $114.55, which represents a 25% "discount" from the ATH. Even if we get another 2008 (and that's very unlikely) 25% off the ATH seems like a great price to buy in for a long term hold.

    Thoughts on Grubhub (GRUB), is it oversold?

    Posted: 27 Oct 2018 09:41 AM PDT

    Why has grubhub fallen so hard?

    Background: Grubhub is a food delivery platform that operate gruhub, seamless, and eat24.

    It peaked in mid september at 144, now trading at 88. They beat top and bottom line and increased guidance.

    Is there something big happening in this space, why would it fall 10% - or is it just a sign of the market feelings in general?

    It is still up 20% year to date, 44% 1 year.

    Is this just a reversion to proper valuation? I'm trying to decide of this is an entry opportunity. I don't know why I never thought about investing in Grub before, I use it all the freaking time. Granted it meteoric rise started April 2017.

    Its roughly an 8.1 billion dollar company

    As of thursday at 99/share (vs today at 88), GRUB has a P/S, P/E and P/B values of 10.63, 93.13 and 6.18 respectively. Its P/Cash is valued at 18.55.

    net profit margin for the 12 months at 15.2%. Comparatively, the gazes have a Gross margin 0%.

    ROE 10.8

    ROA = 8.2%

    ROI = 5.1%

    The EPS of GRUB is strolling at 1.04, measuring its EPS growth this year at 28.7%. As a result, the company has an EPS growth of 24.82% for the approaching year.

    Analyst's mean target price for the company is $140.14 while analysts mean suggestion is 2.2.

    Operating Margin is seen at 12.9 percent. Forward P/E of GrubHub Inc. is standing at 40.39.

    I'm just trying to throw up as much info as I'm finding about the company. I don't know how to put some of these numbers in context, any input would be much appreciated.

    How Important Is It to Balance Bonds Into Tax Deferred Accounts?

    Posted: 27 Oct 2018 05:51 PM PDT

    Hey,

    I've been doing a ton of reasearch and am going to be simplifying my investment strategy greatly.

    I'm going to be doing an 80/20 stocks/bonds distribution, with very simple vanguard ETFs.

    I've read some things that suggest to put bonds into tax deferred accounts and stocks in my taxable accounts. What I'm wondering is how important is this?

    It would be 'simpler' to have the same distribution of the same funds across my IRA, 401k, and taxable accounts - but how much am I leaving on the table by not overbalancing my IRA/401k towards bonds and my taxable toward stocks for an average of 80/20 instead of 80/20 in each?

    Thanks!

    Do index funds in 401k play dividend at all?

    Posted: 27 Oct 2018 05:39 PM PDT

    I am sure this is a dumb question, and the answer probably is yes they do pay. but I cannot find any documentation in my 401k plan where it explains if the SP500, small cap, and mid cap index funds pay dividends at all, and when? so I sent an email to the customer care, and they replied only the company stock pays dividends every quarter (I know that because I can see the dividend deposited in my account, I reinvest them), and nothing else pays dividend in my 401k.

    what is your experience with your 401k account?

    Is this a good way to manage risk?

    Posted: 27 Oct 2018 09:25 PM PDT

    So I saw all these guys on WSB make big bucks and decided to make a robinhood and I've made like 20% in 2 weeks but I kinda realize I should probably be smart about trading and not try to bet the farm even though I only put in a little I'm okay to lose

    So here are my ideas. One is I'd set goals like make 10% this week or make $100 dollars then close all my positions and say that's good enough.

    The other would be to either cash out like $100 or so every time I make that much and just keep my principal with the extra going to my bank.

    Or maybe I'd try to save up for something I want that costs $1000 for example and when I have enough I'd cash out. Could work although could make me a little to attached to the investments because I really want this thing.

    What do you guys think about these ideas? How do you manage risk or make sure your trading is safe?

    What happened to Weibo corp?

    Posted: 27 Oct 2018 09:03 PM PDT

    Weibo Corp is a Chinese based social media site. It has a huge market share in China and is known basically as the Chinese Twitter. They've shown incredible eps growth and revenue growth within the past five years but there is something fishy that doesn't make sense... It's been on a steady and steep decline since May.

    Weibo stock went from $16 in 2015 to $142 in 2018. The stock then went down with the market from February.

    Then on some magical day (May 8th) where there was a 650%. It has continued to steadily drop despite MASSIVE quartely increases in EPS and revenue.

    Anyone familiar with Weibo that may have some insight on why this is occurring? It just doesn't make any sense to me...

    What are signs of a scam?

    Posted: 27 Oct 2018 12:29 PM PDT

    Hi friends,

    I hope the weekend has started out well.

    I'm interested in what ways you're probably doing with a scam? Theranos? Bernard Madoff? Enron? etc.

    What questions would you ask to evaluate if it's a scam?

    Thanks

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

    Posted: 27 Oct 2018 05:04 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!
