| Posted: 05 Oct 2018 09:49 PM PDT The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey is simple but brilliant! This is not a new book, it's been around for a while, but I feel that with the culture of consumerism that we live in today, the book is only becoming more and more relevant. The book talks about how to manage your money – personal finance – by changing your spending and saving habits. The focus is on changing our habits and controlling impulses, thinking about the big picture and the long-term plan and living your way to a wealthy retirement. In my review, I talk about what I liked, what I didn't and most importantly how the book changed the money management habits! r/https://smartestdanalive.com/2018/09/23/the-total-money-makeover-book-review/ [link] [comments]  |
| Vanguard Portfolio Diversification Posted: 05 Oct 2018 08:04 PM PDT Hello r/investing, I'm a 21 year old in college planning to invest ~5,000 as well as monthly contributions. After reading some advice here and doing some additional research I've decided to invest in some Vanguard ETF's. The break down of my planned portfolio is as follows:
My risk tolerance for this account is fairly high and I want to invest for the long term (minus the trading funds). I also may want to withdraw some money in the future when it comes time for things such as a down-payment for a home. What do you guys think? I would love to hear any advice or criticism.

| Posted: 06 Oct 2018 01:25 AM PDT Reddit! Help an investing idiot make sense of bombs, I've been trying on my own for months. Basically, I can't wrap my noggin around the whole world is interest thing.... Obviously a hot topic right now. Basically, what I THINK happens is the yield goes up, which means those bonds will pay the bearer more. However, for some reason (I'd be interested in hearing why) the fed can't actually let bonds be too good of an investment, so when the bond yield goes up, they attempt to balance that out by raising the interest rates, which makes it 'more expensive to borrow' whatever that means..... Like, if the yield is going up, isn't it already 'more expensive to borrow'? Since when I buy a bond they're borrowing my money, and when the yield goes in they pay more and I make more, right? So is it the interest rate increasing that effects this, or not? Also, is this good or bad for bonds? I know that's stupid, but seriously, if the yield goes up my bonds should pay me more, but then if the fed raises the interest in response, THAT makes the bonds worth less? But if one is done in response to the other, why wouldn't they just balance, and it would be a net nothing? Is what's happening right now good for bond buyers or bad? [link] [comments]  |

| COST is down 5% today after reporting earnings. Posted: 05 Oct 2018 10:45 AM PDT Costco Wholesale (COST) is down 2.7% to $225.33 after reporting fourth-quarter earnings. The discounter earned $2.36 a share on revenue of $44.41 billion. Analysts were expecting earnings of $2.34 a share on revenue of $44.17 billion. However, it warned it will report material weakness in internal financial control in its coming 10K. That said, Moody's also upgraded Costco's debt, to Aa3. Can someone explain what "material weakness" means in this context? [link] [comments]  |
| Could some one explain to me the "opensecrets" financial webpage data? Posted: 06 Oct 2018 04:35 AM PDT This is a bit off topic. But it is investing, in it's most elemental sense. Could someone explain a few things on this page for me? https://www.opensecrets.org/personal-finances/net-worth/Susan-Collins?cid=N00000491&year=2015 So, when I look at the net worth, it seems like she went from ~$200K in 2011 to $4M in 2015. How did she do this? That's a lot of return in 4 years. That's %2000 interest. Also, when I look at the "Transactions" tab, it seems like she made a purchase, of at least $5M, but less than $25M in "3M Co" stock, in 2015. How would she be able to do this, if her net worth was $4M at the time. What mechanisms exist for me to buy stock worth more than my total assets. Thanks [link] [comments]  |
| Is there enough lithium to make electric cars a viable product? Posted: 05 Oct 2018 07:48 PM PDT If you take an average smartphone, it has a lithium battery with some 2000 mAh capacity at 3.8 volt, which equals 7.6 Wh (Watt output over an hour). A Tesla P100D has a battery with 100 kWh capacity, this is more than 13,000 times the capacity of an average smartphone. Given the fact that not every Tesla has the big battery and for the sake of simplicity: One Tesla battery equals 10,000 smartphone batteries. In 2017, Tesla made 100,000 cars, this equals one billion smartphone batteries. The worldwide production of smartphones in 2017 was about 1.45 billion units. So, the tiny car company Tesla, which made less than one per mille of all cars worldwide, used a battery capacity which equals about 75 percent of all batteries used in the entire smartphone industry worldwide. Imagine 50 million cars.... [link] [comments]  |
| Why would one small-caps Indian etf HANDILY outperform another small-caps Indian etf? Posted: 05 Oct 2018 06:39 PM PDT I'm referring to how SMIN handily outperformed SCIF, and it's not even close. Their fees are relatively similar, I don't think that would account for a 20-40% performance difference over a few years. . . Don't feel compelled to look into these specific ETF's by any means if India isn't your thing: why would any country's one small cap ETF severely outperform another small cap ETF from the same country when neither is leveraged? Thank you so much. [link] [comments]  |

| Can a university/college student invest? Posted: 05 Oct 2018 04:54 PM PDT Hello, would you guys say that it is possible for a student if devoted some time, properly invest in stocks or what ever other investing options there are out there? Obviously any one that has the willingness to devote some time to this path can invest, but, do you think it'd be a good idea to do so for a student? If so, what are the steps one should take? Thank you very much in advance for providing insight! [link] [comments]  |
| 19.78% per decade average return ETF fund Posted: 06 Oct 2018 03:35 AM PDT Hi all, I want to invest my money in the First trust NYSE arca biotechnology index because having conducted a bit of research, it seems to be the most well performing index/ETF fund based on average 10 year return. See this website https://www.financial-planning.com/slideshow/index-funds-with-the-best-returns-over-10-years-led-by-technology Apparently, it seems that this small fund is outperforming the S&P 500, NASDAQ 100 and many more. Is this really the most well performing index fund? If not, which fund the most well performing? If it is the most well performing then what's the catch? Should I invest in this or not? Also, if you do recommend this fund, from which brokers can I purchase it as someone living in Australia? Help much appreciated. Thanks [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Oct 2018 01:15 PM PDT This post got me thinking about things I have considered, but for some reason or another I never invested. I looked at the recently-renamed $LBCC (Long Block Chain Corp.) late last year. I thought about putting money into that, but now I am thankful I never put a single penny into it. [link] [comments]  |
| Question about bond ETF’s as interest rates rise Posted: 05 Oct 2018 11:54 AM PDT I understand that as interest rates increase the value of already issued bonds decreases because a $100 bond issued at 3% is worth more than a $100 bond issued at 2.5% and no one will buy the latter when they can get the former. I hold a fair amount of $ZAG in my portfolio and with the increase in interest rates the stock price has dropped hard (as far as bonds are concerned anyways). My question is, how long does it take for this to equal out? When will the dividend and/or the stock price increase as ZAG starts to hold bonds with a higher yield? How does this work? Is there any logic of dropping bond ETF's in favour of say CD's? [link] [comments]  |
| Has anyone switched to Fidelity's zero ER index funds? Posted: 05 Oct 2018 03:35 PM PDT These thread(s) were quite popular when when they started showing up here with several people saying they were going to switch to these funds. Has anyone done it so far? I can actually take some of the tax loss from selling a partial amount of the equivalent in Vanguard to move to Fidelity which is why I was considering it. And would add new money to it instead. Still getting an overall negative sentiment from the Bogleheads threads, but these seem like fairly biased opinions. [link] [comments]  |
| Is Facebook a bargain right now? Posted: 05 Oct 2018 10:33 AM PDT Hi all, I just wanted a bit of an opinion on Facebook. I see that the stock has had a significant drop in the last months, but I don't really see any events which would impair the value of the company as such (thus significant reduction of cash flows for example). Should one consider it as a BUY at this moment? Thanks for any insight! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Oct 2018 05:33 PM PDT Hi there, I am considering investing in an annuity. It seems like another tool in my toolbox of financial independent. I am in my 30s, self-employed. I have 2 questions regarding annuities.
