    Historical market data

    Posted: 01 Dec 2018 01:51 AM PST

    Hi,

    I'm building a simple APP that connects to my broker, downloads all my movements and gives me nice stats about daily/monthly performance, allocation, etc...

    The thing that I'm missing to complete this is simple accurate historical data from the markets. I think I just need open price and close price, the initial idea was to use Google finance API, but that's not possible anymore.

    Anyone has done something similar to this? Is there any API/webpage from where I can pull the data?

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

    Posted: 01 Dec 2018 04:04 AM PST

    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!

    Is AAPL now "cheap"? - charts inside

    Posted: 30 Nov 2018 06:43 AM PST

    I have not really done much fundamental analysis before so hopefully you all can help me out.

    Watching AAPL drop 25% over the past month had me thinking it was now "cheap" and a good deal to start buying but according to this PE CHART it's stock price to earnings is still near 2-year highs and appears to be above average over the past 8-9 years. So relative to itself, AAPL does not appear cheap here.

    So then I started thinking, maybe AAPL is cheap relative to the index (Nasdaq) in this case. Here is a 10 year chart showing AAPL's share price is still up 100% relative the Nasdaq. Chart Link Again, AAPL does not yet look cheap.

    Finally I thought maybe AAPL's PE at around 14 is "cheap" relative to all market PEs over the past 30 years. This Chart shows AAPL's PE (red x) relative to S&P500 historic PEs over the past 30 years. So here AAPL is actually start to look like a good buy as investors are paying less per earnings relative to the market average.

    To me the first two charts show AAPL as being at least fair or average priced right now relative to itself and the last chart shows it to be at a discount relative to the rest of the market. Am I doing this right or can anyone offer some insight here.

    Thanks.

    Currently Learning Options, what I experienced so far.

    Posted: 30 Nov 2018 02:41 PM PST

    I have been trading options for the past couple months and have been losing more than winning. What an educational roller coaster.

    - Buying Protective puts. but not selling when it was in the money due to fear of underlying stock going lower.

    - Buying puts when I should have bought calls.

    - Buying calls when I should have bought puts.

    - Buying expensive contracts with expirations dates too far away,

    - Buying too many contracts to dollar cost average then end up losing more money, decreasing my marginal trading power.

    - I tried looking at the biggest market gainers of the day, then buying puts on them. Seeing huge unrealized gains the next day only to find out that when i want to cash in, the no name underlying stock option doesn't have enough buyers and forces me to sell much lower than what I wanted.

    I read that playing stocks is checkers and playing options is chess. Am I wrong to say that Options are also like playing Black Jack with like 8 decks." Lower buy ins, greater streaks of losing or winning. Higher chances of you going bust. While trading stocks is like single or double deck black jack. Higher buy ins but better odds of winning / controlling your money.

    Does anyone have any principles or strategies they use to increase their chances of making money in options?

    Do you ever actually follow through with buying or selling shares when the contracts expire?

    What should I do when my financial advisor does not return my spouses or my questions?

    Posted: 01 Dec 2018 03:06 AM PST

    I'm very disappointed. My financial advisor was there speaking with me and my wife via video chat when it came to rolling over our accounts to his firm. Now that I have questions about issues he does not return my emails. What are the proper steps for me to take in such a matter?

    What to make of an in the money (call) options I purchased in a company that's agreed to be purchased for cash.

    Posted: 30 Nov 2018 07:55 PM PST

    I bought March calls for PACB and they're in the money. Since then they agreed to be purchased by ILMN ($8/share cash). I would have thought the extrinsic value would be 0 because the future value is a known quantity but apparently it's not as the options are on the market with a spread between bid and ask. I guess that reflects "it ain't over till it's over." (Is that correct?)

    Should I just close it or is there any great reason to wait?

    3 and 5 year treasury note yields only separated by 1 BPS - I know people normally refer to the spread between 2 and 10 and the curve is fairly flat - but is this an early sign of a coming recession as well?

    Thoughts and opinions about PEGI?

    Posted: 30 Nov 2018 08:14 PM PST

    PEGI is a renewable energy company with good dividends. I really want to support this company but they have been decreasing in value, I believe, over the past few years which has me worried for investing in them. I would love to hear some pros and cons about investing in this company to help make a decision.

    What gets us to new highs next year?

    Posted: 30 Nov 2018 02:51 PM PST

    Large cap tech has been leading the market the past few years and has taken considerable damage since the October selloff. I don't see how these valuations can get back to where they were again based on the earnings reports we saw this quarter in AAPL, NVDA, GOOGL, etc. So if we are just in a correction right now, what gets the SPX above 3000?

    Looks like a lot of money has been rotated the past few weeks into traditionally defensive stocks like MCD, JNJ, and PG. Healthcare also on fire lately too. But these valuations also seem stretched to me. You have MCD at a 25 PE and PG at 23. These are not growth companies, yet they are trading at growth multiples. Where you do have stellar growth is in Cloud/SaaS, yet these valuations are absolutely insane.

    Obviously a China trade deal would bring money back into a lot of beaten down industrial names that have been punished by the tariffs this year. That could keep us going for a while. But with interest rates still scheduled to increase next year, how long can this gravy train keep going and where will the money flow?

    How do futures get delivered to the buyer of the future?

    Posted: 30 Nov 2018 03:18 PM PST

    I was reading about futures the other day. It seemed interesting but I was wondering about one thing. How do they get delivered? Like do they come in the mail or does the company that you buy the future have a person deliver the item. I'm just wondering because if you were to buy a gold or silver future (which are quite expensive) and it comes in the mail then won't there be a risk of a porch pirate taking it.

    Could DR Horton be a bellwether for the housing market?

    Posted: 30 Nov 2018 06:52 PM PST

    I've done some analysis on DR Horton.

    For starters, they're the largest home builder in the United States. They operate in 78 markets in 28 states- obviously a broad representation of the US as a whole.

    Prior to the 2008 great recession, they peaked at $40ish a share in 05-06 and fell to a mere $5.79 in late 2008. Looking at the prices now they peaked Dec17/Jan18 at $52ish and have been plummeting ever since without any kind of major rebound. Today they're at $37, down 26% from peak value.

    I also listened in to their latest earnings call and they did describe some choppiness in their $300K+ demographic market and that same demographic they tracked are now purchasing in the $200k+ home models.

    Is this something we should pay attention to or be worried about in another housing crunch?

    stock advice

    Posted: 30 Nov 2018 03:05 PM PST

    I have quite a bit invested into the market currently.

    With recent events, my bi-weekly contribution to my personal account has sat in cash and I am leery of getting into a new position with the volatility of the last month and a half. My TD account is about 6 years old so I am not new to investing and I do spend a considerable amount of my time with my DD. But lately, my cash is just being horded and I am leery about even DCA into currently held positions.

    My latest thoughts are that I should obtain some REITS.

    So here are all of my positions and maybe you great folks here in r/ investing can help me decide on a new position or to simply keep feeding my current ones.

    For the record I am long in every position and have no realized gains....yet

    AMZN,

    AAPL

    APHA

    ARKW

    AVAV

    BECN

    BRK.B

    CGC

    DIS

    F

    FB

    FTCS

    LMT

    MMM

    MO

    MSFT

    ROBO

    RTN

    SQ

    V

    VOOG

    I realize I may be overextended in some areas but I really believe in most of these sectors with the marijuana stocks simply being a hunch and speculative. my gains in those areas are still very nice. So my question is do I get into a new sector or keep DCA in my current ones? Thanks!

    I am really after opinions so I can sink my teeth in that research I guess.

    Personal Investing Question

    Posted: 30 Nov 2018 04:48 PM PST

    Hi!

    My question was whether it makes sense to invest in the S&P500 index through Vanguard's corresponding VOO ETF for my IRA in addition to investing in that same Vanguard index in a general investing account (so not an IRA)? My reasoning for this- and please feel free to correct me- is that an IRA shouldn't be withdrawn until retirement age, but the S&P500 is a great way to invest "safely" and make good returns, so it would also be beneficial to invest in the S&P500 Vanguard index (VOO) so that I can make gains that won't be penalized for withdrawing early. Does this make sense to you all? Or am I missing something?

    My goal is to have my IRA contributions AND some realized gains in the near future (5-10 years) as opposed to my targeted retirement year (2065).

    Thank you so much for any feedback!

    Invest in s&p 500 index fund or pay off student loans

    Posted: 30 Nov 2018 04:27 PM PST

    Loans are at $15,000 with interest accruing quarterly. Investing account is at about $1000 balance with a $5 daily deposit. I still have about 6 semesters left of school. Should I only invest, stop investing and pay off the student loan debt, or do a little bit of both. I was thinking both but what are your thoughts. The average intersest rate on the loans is about 4%. The investing is through acorns.

    Bond funds for retirement

    Posted: 30 Nov 2018 06:32 PM PST

    I want to know what your opinions are on bond funds for a retirement account.

    For instance, let's say you're about 10 years from retirement- wouldn't it be smarter to look for bond funds with primarily short to medium-term maturity bonds versus a bond fund with mostly long-term maturity bonds. Any rise in interest would cause the underlying long-term bonds to decrease in price, which would in effect decrease the price of the etf- essentially meaning you would have to hold the etf until these underlying bonds mature. I understand there's less return potential with these short-term bonds but it seems like a better bet unless you're 20+ years from retirement.
