    are those commission rates normal?

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 07:36 AM PDT

    My bank charges me 25$ for each buy/sell if value below 10k, or %0.25 if value above.

    and 3$ commission every month for 10.000$.

    are those rates reasonable?

    And if you had 10k, would you split stocks and pay 250$ or buy a single stock for 25$ commission?

    Thank you.

    How is GE still climbing?

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 12:42 PM PDT

    A week ago it was hovering $11.50, news that a new CEO is on board spiked it 17%. Its now around 10% up over the past week.

    With a 23b write off, uncertainty about dividends, Moody's is reviewing a credit downgrade. What exactly is causing the rise?

    Unless this CEO is the second coming of Christ and can single handedly pull them out of the gutter there is no reason for GE to be going up?

    What am I missing?

    Amateur stock advice

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 09:56 AM PDT

    So I've always been interested in stocks but never really had the spare money to invest in them. I just turned 21 and I inherited 3000 worth of Walmart stock and wanted to start reinvesting it since it hasn't seen to gone anywhere in recent years. I was wondering how most younger people invest their money. One thing I noticed is Tesla's stocks being fairly volatile witching about 15 percent plus or minus recently. Do any of you guys buy that on a dip then seek when it goes back up or is that not practical? Also I've been fairly interested in weed stock since it has been growing greatly in the US and I'm thinking that some companies are bound to dominate the market and their stock should flourish. I don't know much but if anyone has any advice I'd love to hear it. Thank you

    Bought $300k of NIO at $6.02. Nio WILL bounce to $10 in the coming weeks. Here's why

    Posted: 02 Oct 2018 07:47 PM PDT

    First, thank you to the wonderful community at /r/stocks for giving me investment advice in my previous thread here. I made that thread because I had $300k lying around and NIO looked promising.

    This afternoon, I decided to go ahead with the decision to invest $300k into NIO at $6.02. After doing my due diligence, I sincerely believe that NIO will rise back to $10 in the coming weeks. My due diligence includes doing technical analysis, looking at their financials and website, and seeking advice from /r/stocks and /r/wallstreetbets .

    From a technical analysis standpoint, NIO appears to have bottomed out at $6 - there is overwhelming buy support at $6. In addition, NIO is the premier electric car maker in China and can easily gain market share. Finally, EV executives have cozied up with the Chinese government, meaning that China will have their back. Because of these reasons, I believe $NIO will rise back to $10 very quickly.

    (x-post from r/investing) An index-plus strategy where you buy the S&P and then buy the top performers in it would not have significantly improved your performance and in fact would have hurt it in the last 30 years.

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 12:13 AM PDT

    I see a common strategy that many tend to employ is to pick an index like the s&p and then pick some of the stocks in the top 10 of the index that they think are good companies. The idea behind this is to get a boost by increasing the concentration of the "winners". (I am guilty of this as well)

    For example buying the VFINX and then buying Apple, Visa and Microsoft because those are great companies and being slightly overweight on these great companies should translate to an above average return.

    I was curious whether history would agree with this approach. So, I went back ~30 years (a good time horizon when saving for retirement) to the year 1988 and found these were the top 10 companies by market cap in the s&p: IBM EXXON GENERAL ELECTRIC AT&T ROYAL DUTCH PETROL GENERAL MOTORS FORD PHILIP MORRIS MERCK DUPONT

    I constructed 3 portfolios.

    Portfolio 1: S&P 500 index only 100% VFINX

    Portfolio 2: S&P 500 + the top 5 companies in the index 50/50 50% VFINX 10% IBM 10% EXXON 10% General Electric 10% AT&T 10% RoyaL Dutch Petrol

    Portfolio 3:

    Top 5 companies in the index equally weighted 20% IBM 20% EXXON 20% General Electric 20% AT&T 20% RoyaL Dutch Petrol

    You can see the results here: https://imgur.com/a/iJRm4Ey

    Portfolio 1 had a CAGR of 10.65% Portfolio 2 had a CAGR of 10.42% Portfolio3 had a CAGR of 9.42%

    You actually underperformed by using the "index plus" strategy and if you just picked the hot stocks of that year you would have lost more than 1% in annual return.

    Picking winners is very hard. IBM at the time was cutting-edge tech. If you had bought it and held until now, it would have given you a CAGR of 7.82% grossly underperforming the index. GE, which probably seemed unstoppable at the time, would have done even worse at 6.74%. You would have done just as well (and better compared to GE) if you had just bought Long Term Treasuries that would have returned 7.64% CAGR.

    This was a simple exercise and I'm sure you can find a myriad of exceptions but I think it illustrates the point that you most likely won't beat the market average in the long run.

    Now some of you might say that picking less well known stocks not in the index might have helped in outperforming the index. Maybe, but most amateur investors just buy what is well known (look at what is mentioned on this and other subs). If they ventured off this path and tried to buy obscure companies they likely would do much worse because valuation is very hard.

    Indexing isn't sexy. It's lazy. But it works.

    What do you think of FNJN? It seems massively undervalued

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 04:21 AM PDT

    IPOed in 2014 and promptly went down but recently had their first profitable year and like 100% y/y revenue growth.

    looking at their list of assets, they seem to have a solid number of old and new patents in cryptography and given the increasing number of security breaches, seem to have a solid market

    to top it off p/e is 3 compared with software industry average of 16. To me it seems like an amazing equity to invest in, besides low liquidity is there any reason I shouddn't?

    ATVI thoughts

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 12:23 PM PDT

    Currently holding ATVI through the CoD release on Oct 12. While the expectations of success may already be priced in to the stock, if this release gets a lot of attention over Fortnite, do you think the potential for a break out is there? Who else is holding with me? Anybody know if they release stats like number of pre-orders? Console preferences? etc..?

    A Musician's 'popularity' as an analogy to Stock Trading?

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 12:20 PM PDT

    My expertise in stock trading is limited to simple buying and selling of popular companies through a stock broker. But I feel like watching how the stock prices of companies wax and wane is similar to how I see popular artists move into and out of the spotlight.

    Some artists are high risk high reward like say, Kanye West. His popularity fluctuates...weekly? Daily?

    Some artists were great investments from the beginning and rarely faltered (Michael Jackson?).

    One-hit wonders, like PSY during the year of 'Gangnam Style', made some people very rich in a short amount of time.

    Lorde peaked after 'Royals' but then dropped off when she didn't release a new album for 4 years. Maybe some people thought she was done but others knew she was taking her time working on new content

    It feels like this analogy could be an introduction for younger people (who know tons about their favorite artists and love to talk about "who's the next big hit") on how stock trading works. For me, stocks never made sense until, someone told me to invest in markets you care about; for me that was video game and technology companies.

    Thoughts????

    $WMT and $MCD for long term?

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 01:21 PM PDT

    My portfolio is a bit diversified with some shares in Apple Microsoft Nvidia Amazon Google etc however I'm thinking about investing in a few shares of McDonald's and Walmart as well.

    I don't see either of these companies having too much growth or doing anything new or innovative, however I do see these companies succeeding or not falling if there's a market crash. In 2008 McDonald's and Walmart were the only 2 companies not affected by the crash and it's easy to see why.

    When people lose money they try to save what they can, so they shop at discount stores like Walmart and eat cheap at McDonald's.

    What do you guys think, is this a good reason to invest or should I just put more money into Microsoft Apple and Visa.

    Someone Explain Returns for Me?

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 12:46 PM PDT

    I just don't know how when a stock goes up say 10% some people are making absolute bank. I always assumed that there were 2 positions, shorting and longing (maybe that's not even correct) but basically, if I thought a stock would go up 10% I would bet $100, and if it did, I would get $110 back, and on a short I would borrow at $100, and sell back at $90 and keep the $10. Can someone explain how the outrageous 100%+ Gains are possible here (Without the stock going up 100%)?
