    Mnuchin Called Top U.S. Bank Executives About Market Stability and Liquidity

    I think people think this is bitcoin and it's going to crash forever. Stocks represent companies most of which have earnings that are growing right now. PE ratio's are reasonable again. Don't forget these aren't baseball cards or bitcoins. If you try to to time it now you may miss the upswing and stocks always go up over the long term. I could be wrong but I don't think this is an 08 or 01 crash coming anyways.

    Any Roth IRA millionaires here? If so, how old are you now and at what age did you start contributing? What did you invest in to get seven figures in your Roth?

    Investing large amounts of money

    Posted: 24 Dec 2018 12:04 AM PST

    In 2025, I'll be inheriting roughly $150-75K in life insurance. I really won't be inheriting shit else— my dad was divorced, and sold his house.

    I'm 18 right now, in the National Guard with no debt. I'll be using the G.I. Bill to pay for college, so I won't have to worry about that. I'm not sure what the deployment status of my future unit is, so I wouldn't be able to say whether or not I'll be deployed anytime soon (or at all— there's not a huge need for my MOS right now).

    I've got no real expenses right now, and I do have a few grand tucked away, but I expect to be going through that money damn fast when I move to where my future unit is.

    What are some good investments that I'll be able to put that life insurance money into in the future, and what are some that I can get started in the meantime, without too much money?

    College student in need of advice for Roth IRA...

    Posted: 24 Dec 2018 02:03 AM PST

    Hi there,

    I'm a second year college student, currently a trader and just recently opened a Fidelity Roth IRA. I've been doing research and have invested in a few companies here and there...but I still feel slightly unsure about how to allocate and diversify.

    Do any of you experienced investors have advice or tips for Roth IRA investing? If you have any articles or readings to look at it would be much appreciated. My primary question is...what is the best way to allocate the account?

    Thanks.

    Everyone else who's stayed in index funds lost all their gains+contributions this year right?

    Posted: 23 Dec 2018 09:20 AM PST

    Good Lord. I'm essentially all in VTSAX and VIIIX and even after maxing my 401K, IRA, and throwing about 10K in a personal account, my number at end of year is now pretty much the same as it was at the beginning of the year. I'm not going to sell because I feel like it's already past the point of no return and may as well hold on. I'm relatively young and don't plan to retire in the next 10 years, but it sure is disheartening to see that much gains and contribution go just poof. I've been working since 2002 and weathered 2008-2009 fine because I did not have very much money saved up during then and just continued investing. Now that I've spent more years working since then and have a sizable nest egg built up, it's depressing.

    Lump sum into Roth IRA vs. Dollar-cost averaging

    Posted: 23 Dec 2018 09:42 PM PST

    I get it that trying to time the market is frowned upon, however I just started my Roth IRA and I'm young. Since this is Dow's worst week since the 2008 financial crisis... I'm thinking it's going to be much better over the course of my lifetime. Hopefully.

    Thoughts on me dumping 6k into my Roth IRA on January 1st instead of contributing $500 per month for all of 2019?

    I'm sorry if this is an absurdly dumb question. Thanks everyone.

    Is the WWE a good investment?!

    Posted: 24 Dec 2018 01:00 AM PST

    Hi all,

    I read this blog post and in there they said that WWE is a good investment.

    I didn't realize they had stocks *blush*, but now I'm curious.

    Is it a good investment, or will I be in for a smackdown?

    Looking for a previous post on portfolios

    Posted: 23 Dec 2018 10:47 PM PST

    I remember a few months ago I was browsing an investing related subreddit (either r/investing, r/trading, r/quant, or something related), and I came upon a decision tree that would specify what type of portfolio might be best for your situation/take on the market. I remember it having a markowitz optimized portfolio and many others. It was in the design of an up-side down tree if that helps.

    If anyone knows where this diagram is, it would be of great help.

    Thanks!!

    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.

    Is there ever a reason a legit company would bash its own stock.

    Posted: 23 Dec 2018 01:40 PM PST

    Legit in quotations. Legit meaning, viable for making a good profit in operations. Not morals.

    Why would a good stock allow relentless bashing, or even be part of it.

    To kill warrants?

    Preparing for market crash?

    Posted: 24 Dec 2018 02:20 AM PST

    Newbie to investing here. I have a bunch of stock that was handed down to me (MCD) and I'm trying to educate myself on what's best to do with it. Would it make sense to put most of the money into a high yield savings account, wait for a market crash and re-invest? I know that a crash isn't predictable, but if it's inevitable wouldn't that be a reasonable strategy?

    Regulators are pushing Amazon.com Inc. and other companies to disclose more about where they get their revenue.

    Posted: 24 Dec 2018 02:19 AM PST

    The Securities and Exchange Commission has pressed Amazon to tell investors how much of its revenue comes from its Amazon Prime customers, according to letters between the SEC and the company. Amazon declined, contending the information isn't meaningful... That has left many investors without the sort of deeper, granular information about revenue that they were supposed to get from companies under an accounting rule that took effect this year... https://stockmarketnews.today/2018/12/24/regulators-are-pushing-amazon-com-inc-and-other-companies-to-disclose-more-about-where-they-get-their-revenue/
