    China loosens capital requirements to stimulate economy

    Looks like China is loosening up to make their economy more attractive. This may take some other Asian currencies with them. Will the US feel the need to respond sooner rather than later and what are the implications for stocks, bonds, etc..? (... and maybe the real economy?)

    Vanguard total stock market index fund?

    Posted: 08 Oct 2018 12:51 AM PDT

    I have $97,000 cash from selling my house. Not buying another. Going a different direction with my housing situation. With that said, I'd like to invest this money. One of my former colleague workers has had great success with this strategy of putting nearly all of his money in this fund. What do you think?

    Best day of the week historically to schedule recurring investments?

    Posted: 07 Oct 2018 06:37 PM PDT

    I deposit into my Betterment account every Monday. My portfolio is 64% stocks 36% bonds, almost entirely Vanguard index funds. I'm wondering what the best day to schedule these recurring investments is. Say, for example, over the past five years, VTI + VEA have opened 0.25% lower on Wednesdays, whereas on Thursdays they have, on average, opened 0.25% higher. Obviously, I would like to buy on Wednesday. Any insight?

    I thought about writing a bash/Python script to do this, but querying the Google API for every fund's open price every day for the last five years is basically asking for Google to block my IP.

    Do you rebalance your portfolio after a huge run-up in one of your holdings even if you still believe in the company?

    Posted: 07 Oct 2018 02:33 PM PDT

    I've been holding 100 shares of NVDA since it was trading at $32 per share. The good news is my investment has grown almost 700% in a little over two years. The bad news is that NVDA now takes up roughly 30% of my portfolio, which makes me vulnerable. I love the company and plan on holding shares for the long, long term, so short term drops like this past week don't shake me. That being said, I'm wondering if I should take some profits in the near future to balance myself in other sectors or just keep holding. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Am I Too Bearish?

    Posted: 07 Oct 2018 08:21 PM PDT

    I am wondering if someone can lay out the bullish case and/or dispute my current and personal view of the current market conditions as I see it. Not looking to push my opinions, rather to let me know am I being too bearish.

    This is the bear case as I see it.

    \- Baby boomer retirement and the resulting pension crisis and levels of debt must result in money printing. \- Unknown effects of quantitative tightening; whereas quantitative easing resulted in the rise of asset prices, tightening might result in the opposite. Tens of billions of dollars every month destroyed by the FED. \- FED hiking risk-free rate. \- Trade tensions. \- Peak(?) economic growth. \- Ill-timed fiscal stimulus, during the late bull phase. \- Excess multi-asset valuations inflated by quantitative easing. \- Nearing the end of a 35 yr bond bull market. \- Rising populism and anti-global, nationalistic sentiment. \- Unknown effects of market weighted passive indexed funds (e.g. SPY). 

    Am I missing something? Are these ill-informed fears? What is the bull case?

    The only bull case I can lay out is this.

    \- This might be a is a secular bull market. Historical examples of secular bull markets include 1949-1966 (17 years); 1982-2000 (18 years; disregarding the crash of 87.) \- The is a bullish consensus among 244 leading money managers, mutual fund managers, and hedge fund managers; especially on US equities. 70% favor U.S. stocks over other regions Net overweight position in U.S. stocks is 21% and rising 25% bearish on global economic growth next year \- Tax cuts.

    If you had to bet your life on one company still existing in 100 years what you pick?

    Posted: 07 Oct 2018 09:21 AM PDT

    Obviously you might not be around to see it, but ignore that hypothetical part.

    What company are you most confident will still exist in 100 years?

    Where do you define the boundary of your portfolio?

    Posted: 08 Oct 2018 03:10 AM PDT

    I currently have 25k in stocks making my portfolio 100% equities. However, I also have around 75k in cash (whilst I decide what to do with it - not necessarily for investing but an option) over and above an emergency fund so I could also consider my equities to be 25%. Furthermore I have around 100k in my mortgage, making equities around 12.5% of my net worth (ok I've ignored outstanding here for simplicity...)

    Where do you all define the boundary of your portfolios and how do you view your risk in this context? Ultimately it obviously comes down to "comfort" rather than purely a definition but interested in your thought procssess nonetheless!

    Looking back on a bankrupt company, are buybacks and dividends just as good outward cash flows?

    Posted: 08 Oct 2018 02:22 AM PDT

    Company A raises £100m in capital, operates for 40 years, paying out £1bn in dividends (uniformly) over its lifetime. In year 40, the business unexpectedly goes bankrupt.

    Company B raises £100m in capital, operates for 40 years, (uniformly) spends £1bn buying back shares at market value. In year 40, the business unexpectedly goes bankrupt.

    Investor in A, turning his £1000 investment into £10000 (investing this money elsewhere).

    Investor in B attempts to sell his shares into the market place to maintain an artificial dividend equivalent to investor A.

    What am I missing?

    Lots of companies seem to be increasing their buyback to dividend ratio. But all companies go bankrupt eventually. I guess you convert some of your taxable dividends into taxable capital games, but isn't this just a game of grenadiers' hot potato?

    Or does the liquidity available to investor B allow him to forgo stuff like house insurance for 40 years, or provide some other non-cash benefit?

    I'm ranting now, but can someone explain how I should view long term dividend payouts vs. long term buybacks for companies with a shelf life?

    Can anyone explain to me how a currency rate is formed/determined like a 5-year old?

    Posted: 08 Oct 2018 02:07 AM PDT

    Yes, I've watched a lot of videos, basically the theory is supply and demand. But the problem is I don't understand how it actually works from the very basic.

    Where do people buy currencies or where does the actual event (the trade) takes place? And how's the calculation of 15.180 for USDIDR? (how did you come up with this number)

    Does it have anything to do with the action of those forex traders? My friend told me that forex doesn't actually trade anything. On the software, we buy the currency but we don't actually buy it.

    Anyway, I can't even come up with a single question that represents what I wanted to ask. But basically, I just don't understand how the whole thing actually works.

    Role of Investment for a Secure Future

    I'm a noob, how do I invest in bonds?

    Posted: 07 Oct 2018 06:13 AM PDT

    Please don't treat me like a moron, but do treat me like I just heard about investing today. I'm a fast learner. So I wanted to use bonds as a long-term savings account in a way. I'll still have my normal savings account, but I want to put a little extra away to save for my newborn to have access to when she grows up. Hopefully gaining in value. I use Fidelity as my brokerage firm. Are $SPAXX and $FDRXX basically that? When I hold cash in the account, like paid dividends, it automatically goes into $SPAXX where I can withdraw at any time. If not, what exactly are bonds and how do I invest in them. My understanding is bonds are small loans to the government that gets paid back to you with interest, or at least in lamens terms, so can I invest in a long term form, like 10-20 years for max profit?

    Can you short options?

    Posted: 07 Oct 2018 10:53 PM PDT

    If yes is it possible to short options that are about to expire with a strike price far above/under the underlying price? For example shorting the S&P500 put option expiring tomorrow with a strike price of $1000 in s almost guaranteed to make you a profit since the option will expire worthless and the S&P is extremely unlikely to fall 60% in a day.

    Posted: 07 Oct 2018 11:57 AM PDT

    My Dad is in retirement, he plans in putting some in savings (ultra safe). But he has a lot of money sitting in a money market brokerage account (shit interest).
