    It's moronic Monday, your chance to ask any of those lingering questions without fear of harassment.

    We encourage all our visitors to ask those investing related questions they were always too afraid to ask.

    The members of /r/investing are here to answer and educate!

    NOTE 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!

    Morgan Stanley Predicts Ford to Cut 25,000 Jobs in Overhaul

    Posted: 03 Dec 2018 11:16 AM PST

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-12-03/morgan-stanley-predicts-ford-to-cut-25-000-jobs-in-restructuring

    Ford Motor Co.'s $11 billion restructuring could cost 25,000 employees their jobs, exceeding the cutbacks General Motors Co. announced last week, according to Morgan Stanley.

    Ford has yet to detail its job cuts, but Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas predicts they could be larger than GM's in a note to investors.

    "We estimate a large portion of Ford's restructuring actions will be focused on Ford Europe, a business we currently value at negative $7 billion," Jonas wrote. "But we also expect a significant restructuring effort in North America, involving significant numbers of both salaried and hourly UAW and CAW workers."

    Ford's 70,000 salaried employees have been told they face unspecified job losses by the middle of next year as the automaker works through an "organizational redesign" aimed at creating a white-collar workforce "designed for speed," according to Karen Hampton, a spokeswoman.

    "These actions will come largely outside of North America," Hampton said of Ford's restructuring. "All of this work is ongoing and publishing a job-reduction figure at this point would be pure speculation."

    The Flattening Yield Curve Just Produced Its First Inversion since 2007

    Posted: 03 Dec 2018 11:43 AM PST

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-12-03/the-flattening-yield-curve-just-produced-its-first-inversion

    Edit: it's only on the 3-5 year. Clarification to reduce click baitiness.

    Some analysts attributed the short-end underperformance to demand for riskier assets as global trade tensions eased following this weekend's tariff truce between U.S. President Donald Trump and China's Xi Jinping. Others pinned it to modestly higher expectations for Fed hikes next year after the summit between the two leaders. Either way, the five-year is faring better because investors anticipate the end of the central bank's hiking path beyond next year.

    Curve flattening over the past two years has signaled investors' concern that rising interest rates against a backdrop of slowing global growth could harm the U.S. economy. Inversion -- where yields at the short end of the curve rise above those at the long end -- has been a reliable indicator of recessions.

    Emphasis mine.

    Edit. Personally I'm not selling my LT holdings, so I'm not saying we are doomed or any such alarmism. I'm long term after all. But I am going to DCA any new cash, not lump sum drop it in. "Time in the market" over all :)

    Thought this was a significant development on the ever flattening yield curve that would be of interest to people in this sub.

    Penny stocks.

    Posted: 04 Dec 2018 03:47 AM PST

    What's the deal with penny stocks? Are they legitimate businesses like your regular stocks? What advantage would a company have been listing themselves as a penny stock? Wouldn't help their price stability to keep their prices outstanding small enough where their share price doesn't enter penny stock territory?

    Investing in meat substitutes and plant proteins?

    Posted: 03 Dec 2018 10:12 AM PST

    I think that in the coming decade, there will be a huge boom in meat substitutes and plant proteins; it's kind of started already. I'm thoroughly impressed by the Beyond Meat burger, but the company is still private and is only 5% owned by Tyson Foods. I know Maple Leaf Foods is also investing in plant proteins.

    What companies besides these two could I invest in today to bet on the rise of meat substitutes and plant proteins?

    Qatar to Leave OPEC

    Posted: 03 Dec 2018 03:14 PM PST

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-12-03/qatar-announces-opec-exit-days-before-pivotal-oil-cuts-meeting

    Qatar said it will leave OPEC next month, a rare example of the toxic politics of the Middle East rupturing a group that had held together for decades through war and sanctions.

    Qatar, a member since 1961, is leaving to focus on its liquefied natural gas production, Energy Minister Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi told a news conference in Doha on Monday. He didn't mention the political backdrop to the decision: dire relations with Saudi Arabia, which has led a blockade against his country since 2017; and a rhetorical onslaught from U.S. President Donald Trump against the cartel.

    Is it dumb to invest in both IVV and VTI?

    Posted: 03 Dec 2018 07:57 PM PST

    What's the probability of the market being +20% at least once during any given calendar year? Do you see where I'm going with this ...

    Posted: 03 Dec 2018 07:52 PM PST

    If you buy, let's say, SPY, or VTI, on Jan. 1 of any given year, what is the probability of your position being up 20% at least one time before Dec. 31 of that same year? (or this can be calculated as 'at least once in every 12 year period')...

    Depending on what this probability is...might make sense to buy on Jan. 1 (or any date really), and hold until it hits +20% exit, and sit in something safe the rest of the year, then repeat. why not?

    I guess why not would be what happens if it goes down. Set a stop loss? Realize you have a long term hold position now in an index? not bad.

    But if it's not down, then you're still up, just not 20%. I'm thinking about that sweet sweet compound at 20%...

    Keep going down and down. Yield down today even as the market goes up.

    .17 spread between 2Y and 10Y

    10Y is lower today than before the last rate hike.

    How far fetched would it be to relate investors to cattle, in theory?

    Posted: 03 Dec 2018 08:53 PM PST

    How far fetched would it be to relate investors to cattle, from the perspective of a financial investment advisor, in theory? Reading text and reports about investment theory as an advisor really outlines to me the role a farmer has when herding cattle. How far fetched would this be to relate? I know people don't really like to be referred to as cattle, let alone sheep, but the same comparison of herding and blindly following can be made in supermarket design and behavior in the stock market, i.e. lemmings following each other even if it's off a cliff. Do you believe that this relation would be accurate to compare to an investor and investment advisor?
