| If invest index fund is always profitable then why not invest in 3X index etf ? Posted: 04 Nov 2018 12:02 AM PDT I know fluctuations hurts 3X etf but it don't cost you any interest as the same time. [link] [comments]  |
| Change my mind: The S&P500 has become a large cap growth tech fund. Posted: 03 Nov 2018 05:24 PM PDT I know that the S&P is only 20-25% tech. If you have a 60/40 portfolio and your equities rise to 65% of your portfolio while bonds fell to 35% you would likely rebalance down to 60/40 effectively "selling high" and "buying low" or the opposite if equities fell to 55% and your bonds comprised 45% you might sell bonds to buy equities. Why is that an investor would remain overweight tech and not rebalance sectors? One of my biggest qualms with index fund investing only (such as 100% S&P500 or three fund portfolio) as that you are "at the will" of increasing and decreasing risk levels. If the S&P was 10% tech and shot up to 20% tech your original risk tolerance is no longer in line with the new allocation. Are investors taking considerably more risk than they are aware? Another problem I have is people who try to claim the S&P500 averaged 8% annually so it will continue to do so. The weighting of the S&P500 40 years ago is completely different than the weighting today. It would be like claiming a growth fund from 30 years ago that never changed holdings is still a growth fund. Likely it's now a value fund since a stock is unlikely to remain a growth stock forever. While I still see index funds as a great way to get broad exposure, I think a time will come when people realize how different their pie chart looks today from when it began if they don't rebalance their allocation.

| Help me understand why I cant wait till a correction Posted: 03 Nov 2018 08:38 AM PDT Hi guys, long story short, new grad looking to invest. Currently maxing 401k, but have extra money to invest. Now heres the part where i am confused. So I know i'm supposed to start putting my extra money in index funds and let it sit, but I cant for the life of me understand why. So lets say I put the rest of my earnings into a fund and let it sit where it will gain 8% a year. And comparing that to my savings account of pretty much 0, that looks like a good deal. But lets say I do put all my money into the market, and we see a recession or a correction within the next 10 years. I would be better off holding off putting my money in until that correction, and then going in. Lets say S&P was 1,335.63 in 2000, and 10 years later it was at 1,123.58 in 2010. It did go up a lot during those ten years, but i'm not taking it out at any of those times. Hypothetically, if I consistently put money in during those ten years, I would be down when a correction hits. Why wouldn't I just wait till the correction, (which is supposed to be overdue) and go in then? Sorry, if this is a stupid question, I am very money illiterate. I put this in personalfinance, but they just downvoted me and the one guy who I thought could help me, pretty much told to me to pound sand. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Nov 2018 02:09 PM PDT I am sorry for wording this like I had something important and revolutionary to say, but I want to bring something up. If AI is the future, and in order to train AI via machine learning, you need GPUs which are more effective than CPUs in this case, why are stocks of NVDA and AMD not increasing? Is it because of the recent news of chip demands going down? [link] [comments]  |

| Question: how are high level employees able to pay less for shares in the company yhey work? Posted: 04 Nov 2018 02:46 AM PST High level employees such as officers and even the CEO seem to be able to purchase shares a discount of 70-80%. Regular employees are only able to purchase at a 15% discount t every 6 months. Can someone explain how they are allowed to do this? [link] [comments]  |
| Stupid Question: Why (How) is inflation (in high levels) a net negative? Posted: 03 Nov 2018 07:03 PM PDT Economists generally consider inflation (in high levels) a bad thing for the economy. But how exactly is inflation considered a net negative? How can it be considered unambiguously bad? My logic only shows that it can be a net neutral effect on the economy. For instance, let's say an apple is $100, and it rises to $200. If people hold cash, this is obviously bad for them. However, there are other people selling the apple for $200, so isn't that good for them? Money isn't disappearing. If price levels rise, the amount of people making more money should perfectly cancel out the amount of people who has lost purchasing power. Note that $200 is the equilibrium level, so it's not like the sellers aren't pricing the apple at its optimal (equilibrium) point .So while inflation is a polarizing effect, it is a net neutral effect overall. Which brings me to — how can hyperinflation (or even inflation) even exist if it's unambiguously harmful for the general population or the economy? Aren't price levels an equilibrium point (the most beneficial point)? The reason why inflation won't jump 10000x next year is because if it did, there would be no one to pay for the items. So the seller pushes the prices down to the equilibrium point. So why is hyperinflation in Zimbabwe bad? If hyperinflation is truly bad (a NET negative) and it has eroded away the purchasing power of everyone, then no one would be able to buy goods, which would push the price levels back down to the most beneficial equilibrium point. But it isn't in Zimbabwe. The reason why price levels are only increasing is because there exists buyers to meet the continually rising prices. So which brings me to the conclusion that while inflation is a polarizing effect (very harmful for some people), it has a net neutral effect on the economy. Obviously, none of what i said is true, so there are a lot of complicated factors at play that I don't understand. [link] [comments]  |
| If average interest rates are historically ~7%... Posted: 03 Nov 2018 02:27 PM PDT Then how in the hell can we ever expect to return to this rate with current US debt sitting at 21 trillion (from what I just read, as of late Oct. that count is closer to 21.6 trillion)? Is it just me or are current debt levels only sustainable because of record low interest rates? At 2.00% interest, annual interest repayments on debt sits at 420 billion. At 7.00% that number rises dramatically to almost 1.5 trillion. Da fuq? With the fed controlling interest rates they'll never allow that to happen (unless of course they've understated the effects of what QT might do) but the point remains...does this mean interest rates can effectively never return to their historical average, or anywhere near them for that matter? In a slightly related topic, can anyone explain how the US government serviced debt in the 1980's with record high interest rates? I'm having trouble googling it! Edit: I made a fairly glaring mistake. "Only" 15.8 trillion of the national debt is held by the public, the rest is money the government owes itself. That's still interest payments of 316 at current rates vs 1.1 trillion at 7.00%. At 5% it's still almost 800 billion. [link] [comments]  |
| FNILX, Fidelity's Zero fee index fund. Question. Posted: 03 Nov 2018 07:26 AM PDT I'm shoving another 5k into a spousal IRA this year, and chose this fund for its low fees, was just curious about some wording in the prospectus... it says something to the effect of aiming to invest 80% of the funds assets equally weighted vs. The index. What does that mean? Shouldn't it be 100% weighted to the index? When I think index fund, I think a fund that completely mirrors the index, so what's this 80% business about ? [link] [comments]  |
| Comparing Portfolio Volatility to Indexes Posted: 03 Nov 2018 11:06 PM PDT I have the past returns of my portfolio and the S&P 500, DJIA, and Nasdaq. I'm trying to compare volatility between the four and make a graph in excel. Would I use sample or population standard deviation? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Nov 2018 03:19 PM PDT Recent news as surfaced that Amazon is narrowing in on Crystal City VA (near DC) as it choice for 2HQ. As such, is there a way an investor, from a micro perspective, invest on this possibility? Is anyone considering this? How are you approaching? Amazon 2HQ expected to bring local economic boom to city choice, bringing nearly 50k jobs in coming years. Thoughts? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 03 Nov 2018 05:54 PM PDT Looking for an iOS application for tracking stocks (do not like Stocks app that comes on iPhone). Specifically, looking for one that allows endless amount of "watchlist" with ability to add notes. Would also be a plus if the application could sync with an desktop/laptop application or website that would allow to edit lists / lists / notes from computer. [link] [comments]  |
| Using Enterprise Value ratios when the recent sell-off? Posted: 03 Nov 2018 09:00 AM PDT Does anyone have any specific value metrics they use involving enterprise value? I was looking through a few companies which have their market cap trading below their enterprise value, opening up some interesting "value" plays. What value-oriented metrics do you hone in on?

| Arrgghhh...keep your records up to date! Posted: 03 Nov 2018 09:27 PM PDT Facepalm. I have used Yahoo Finance to keep a record of my shares for 15 years and it is very good. The number of shares changes when new shares are issued in lieu of dividends or there is a rare bonus issue. So I update these when I remember knowing I hopefully actually have a few more than displayed. 4 years ago I noticed a space on the webpage for $ cash. So having an accumulating sum of money with my broker, I added it in. Made a nice boost to the total. And then completely forgot about it. Two years ago a close family member needed to buy a house so I took the money from the broker and gave it to her: a nice surprise. But...forgot about the Yahoo page - until now. Sob. My investment savings (for myself and our family) took a five figure hit. So instead of being pleased with rising markets here I am substantially poorer than hoped lol. Please keep your records current. [link] [comments]  |
