    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.

    “the US looks good for now but the situation over the course of the next year or so is going to deteriorate rapidly, and potentially traumatically so”

    Posted: 30 Dec 2018 11:59 PM PST

    https://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/countingthecost/2018/12/economic-developments-watch-2019-181229064109297.html

    This article is so well written I wanted to post it here. A lot of stuff to watch out for in the new year. I'm optimistic to an extent but am waiting for a hard crash because our economy has been quite recklessly managed.

    The stimulus and tax cuts will potentially lose its leverage over anymore momentous economic growth after a year while the debt and the deficit will have increased tremendously.

    The article states it's possible another era of Reaganomics. So much for financial control on government spending by "fiscal conservatives".

    We think stock market "corrected" the last couple of months. I think there's more negativity coming. Just give it enough time. It looks similar to the early 1990s recession

    when will higher interest rates and lower wages actually begin to occur because of federal debt and interest payments on that debt by the government?

    Good time to buy Microsoft?

    Posted: 30 Dec 2018 08:42 PM PST

    They've got a pretty good chance of winning the defense cloud contract which would give them control of 25% of the cloud market overnight. And they've really been gearing up to win the next gens "console war" when the new generation of xboxes do launch here in the next couple years. Would now be a good time to buy?

    Walmart Wants to Deliver Groceries Right to Your Fridge

    Posted: 30 Dec 2018 07:03 AM PST

    https://www.fool.com/investing/2018/12/29/walmart-wants-to-deliver-groceries-right-to-your-f.aspx

    Amazon.com is probably further along on this idea than anyone. Using a special smart lock set and an Amazon security camera, the Amazon Key system allows packages to be placed inside your home. Using a smartphone, you can watch the door opened, your package placed inside, and the door closed and locked again.

    Walmart is testing a similar system in Silicon Valley in partnership with smart lock maker August Home where a Deliv driver puts away your order while you watch him through a smartphone app connected to your home's security cameras. The person gets in via a one-time access code. While the access code and surveillance could build trust, Walmart has perhaps a higher hurdle to get over than Amazon.

    China begins approving video games again, excludes Tencent

    Posted: 30 Dec 2018 08:17 AM PST

    "China on Saturday approved the release of 80 online video games after a freeze on such approvals for most of the year.

    However, the approved titles ... did not include games from industry leader Tencent Holdings Ltd

    China, the world's biggest gaming market, stopped approving new video games in March amid ... growing criticism of video games for being violent and allegations that they were causing myopia as well as addiction among young users."

    Any studies of investors blindly estimating a companies value/stock price?

    Posted: 30 Dec 2018 08:23 PM PST

    Similar studies have been conducted with wine or other goods to see if professionals can accurately estimate the value of goods. Has there been such a study with stock value?

    Anyone buying Israeli Bonds?

    Posted: 31 Dec 2018 01:55 AM PST

    I was looking at Israeli bonds and while reading the prospectus I read

    "there is no secondary trading market for the bonds and transferability is limited."

    If I understand this correctly you are obliged to hold the bond to maturity if you ever want to have your money back. And thus this bond is very much illiquid.

    Is there anyone on here has experience purchasing them?

    I was interested because they promise an attractive yield and are in USD.

    Is the buyer or seller favored in a Limit Order?

    Posted: 30 Dec 2018 05:33 PM PST

    Say you own a share of ABC and put a limit sell order in for $50, which I take to mean sell at $50 or better.

    If a buyer comes in for $50, obviously the trade happens. But what if the buyer comes in at $51? Does the buyer get it for $51, or $50?

    What about the opposite? If a buy limit is put in for $50, then a sell limit order is put in for $48 (Maybe by accident). Does that buyer get it for $48 or $50?

    I'm trying to think about how it would work in person. In real life I think the first person to announce their price loses (The seller first asking for $50, or the buyer first offering $51), because the second person would just scoop up the better offer without giving away that they'd pay more / accept less.

    Thanks!

    Noob VMMXX Questions

    Posted: 30 Dec 2018 06:17 PM PST

    Ive got a little money I put in VMMXX so I could earn some interest. I have a couple questions....

    1. I know the interest is paid out monthly, how is this calculated, is it by the average balance spread over the month?
    2. Is it paid monthly and compounded monthly or is it paid monthly but compounded daily?
    3. Does Schwab have any funds that are the equivalent of VMMXX? I know they have some index funds but Im curious if they have anything similar in the money market fund arena.

    Sorry if some of these questions are basic but Im new to directly investing.

    My 2019 bear case list

    Posted: 30 Dec 2018 07:48 AM PST

    1) corporate debt all time high

    2) home mortgage debt about to reach 2008 levels

    3) PE ratios still high

    4) 2018 market instabilities

    5) 10 year bull run must end sometime

    6) possible impeachment

    7) every form of high risk market trading is very high: options, leveraged trading , teens trading on phones as entertainment

    8) democrats gain a foothold in Washington

    9) increased level of hands off investing ( misunderstand indexed ETFs and that market risk extends to those ETFs)

    10) government shutdown

    CDs and US Treasuries

    Posted: 30 Dec 2018 07:43 PM PST

    Since Certificates of Deposit in the US are FDIC insured, they're about as risk-free as you can get. The baseline interest rate for a risk-free investment would be US Treasury securities. That is to say, if a prospective investment pays less than US Treasuries, it's not worth it.

    Plus, Treasuries bought through your broker can be re-sold easily, whereas you can't cash out a CD early without incurring a penalty.

    Looking at CD rates in the area, it's hard to find a reputable bank offering them at rates greater than equivalent Treasuries.

    Am I missing something? If I am going to tie my money up for, say, a year, why not just buy a 1 year T-Bill?

    anyone have experience with Yield Street?

    Posted: 30 Dec 2018 10:14 PM PST

    apparently they offer alternative investments for individuals that don't neccessarily correlate to the stock market. sounds like an interesting move to perhaps balance out my risk profile.

    anyone used it before?
