    S&P up 3.5% Investing

    S&P up 3.5% Investing


    S&P up 3.5%

    Posted: 26 Dec 2018 12:32 PM PST

    EDIT: UP 4.2% now. 4.7% now! WE RICH AGAIN BOYS!

    Dead cat bounce - or will it continue as the fools who sold yesterday rush to buy in on Friday when it's up another 5%?

    The good old sell low, buy high strategy.

    I'm calling it now - 2019 will be another good year as the economy continues to chug along and the fed pauses raising rates.

    Today was the biggest point gain for the S&P 500 ever. The 2nd and 3rd biggest now? October 2008

    Even if you look at percentages, the two biggest days in the past 80 years (post Great Depression) it was October 13 + 28 in 2008.

    Dow posts biggest one day point gain of all time!

    Posted: 26 Dec 2018 01:07 PM PST

    Edit: The title says point gain as to not confuse you with percentage gain. While 5% is not a bad number to post in a given day, it's not the largest percent gain of all time.

    https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/26/investing/stock-market-today/index.html

    Dow posted it's biggest one day point gain of all time.

    We are still about 15% down from recent highs but today's 5% rally shows how unpredictable the stock market is, short term.

    To everyone out there posting capitulation posts the last few weeks, know your risk tolerance and avoid emotional decisions.

    We are Now in a Bear market — here’s what that means (CNBC)

    Posted: 26 Dec 2018 05:18 AM PST

    Key points:

    • A "bear market" is when stocks see a 20 percent decline or more from a recent high — but they're also marked by overall pessimism on Wall Street.
    • Since World War II, bear markets have lasted 13 months on average, and stock markets tend to lose 30.4 percent of their value.
    • During those conditions it usually takes stocks an average 22 months to recover, according to analysis from Goldman Sachs and CNBC.

    JPMorgan to pay penalty of $135 million for misconduct that occurred between 2011 and early 2015.

    Posted: 27 Dec 2018 02:12 AM PST

    JPMorgan improperly provided American depositary receipts for foreign shares that weren't in the bank's custody, which led the bank to inflate the number of a foreign company's tradable shares, the Securities and Exchange Commission said Wednesday. https://stockmarketnews.today/2018/12/27/jpmorgan-to-pay-penalty-of-135-million-for-misconduct-that-occurred-between-2011-and-early-2015/

    Big positive moves during bear markets are a trap - Don’t get caught

    Posted: 26 Dec 2018 04:15 PM PST

    History shows us that the biggest positive days in market history occurred during bear markets.

    "Ten of the largest point increases for the Nasdaq composite, for example, occurred in the 2000-2002 bear market. Four of the top five all-time point gains for the Dow also came in the last bear market."

    Opinion: the terms bear / bull market are completely useless

    They're just oversimplifications of a very complex system. Convince me otherwise.

    Mr. Market is certainly unpredictable

    Posted: 26 Dec 2018 12:54 PM PST

    At Christmas Eve market dropped 2.7%, today without any news the market gained 4%. I guess the only thing retail investor can do is to stay the course and just let compound interest do its work.

    For the sake of accuracy, we are not in a bear market.

    Posted: 26 Dec 2018 03:35 PM PST

    Bear markets are generally accepted to be a period in which the major indexes are 20% below their most recent high, maintained for a duration of two months. We don't say we're in a bear market the trading day we trade below 20% because then we have situations like today where we bounce back out of bear territory during the next trading period. From a technical perspective this is important for those of us who model bear markets, because it's not unusual for a market to test around 20% (and some important moving averages) and then bounce for months before a true bear, if we get one at all.

    Of course, none of that is to say we won't enter the start of (what in hindsight turns out to be) a bear market tomorrow. But, we should fight for accuracy in the face of irresponsible media reports that conflate "bear territory" (something I've never heard analysts talk about) and "bear markets."

    Canadian markets were closed Wed (Dec 26), what will happen with Canadian ETFs with foreign holdings on Thursday?

    Posted: 27 Dec 2018 12:29 AM PST

    I'm sure all the gains will be captured, but I still don't get how and when the valuations of an ETF change, especially if the market is closed for a full day with all of this volatility around. Follow up: What if the US market goes down on Thurs, how is that balanced with the gains on Wed, and when is it priced in?

    I'm sure it has to do with the NAV and price but that's where I'm lost.

    Is r/investing become more like r/wsb?

    Posted: 26 Dec 2018 02:25 AM PST

    Is it just my imagination? I took a break from reddit for a year or two and back then I remember r/investing being more informative and mature. Now I feel like almost every thread contains a slight hint of r/wsb humor and tone.

    EDIT: become -> becoming. I was a bit tipsy when I typed this.

    Should i really use P2P-Creditcompanies to get returns out of it?

    Posted: 27 Dec 2018 01:49 AM PST

    Hello, sorry for my bad english im no native speaker. But heres my question: I'm 20 years old and started to work 18 months ago, i am trying to save up as much as i can in ETF and rarely pick certain stocks just sometimes for fun. I read about those P2P-platforms like MINTOS who „promise" good returns.. Has anyone some opinion about it and is it worth it, how risky is it? I planned to use about 500€ but I'm not certain if they would be better in my ETFs Thank you in Advance.

    What do you log on regular basis when keeping track of your investments?

    Posted: 27 Dec 2018 04:17 AM PST

    After reading the Market Wizards, I noticed many traders log their transaction details.

    As I think of my self more like long-term guy, I didn't do that, but now I tend to think that might be even more important in long term - as you will forget what was your main driver when looking at the position you entered two years ago, right?

    So what's your log books ideas? What kind of info do you log? Only info about specific stocks or maybe about their alternatives? Maybe overall market situation? Expectations, exit points?

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

    Posted: 27 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!

    Short Seller Citron Research turns from skeptic to a major bull on Facebook

    Posted: 26 Dec 2018 10:15 AM PST

    (Reuters) - Short-seller Citron Research on Wednesday backed Facebook Inc, saying the stock could hit $160 in 2019 as the company's revenue and user base have seen little impact from the reported data scandals and privacy issues this year.

    Shares of the social network rose as much as 4.4 percent to $129.57 after Citron's report. They are down 28 percent this year.

    "We believe investors will be rewarded by the shift of user behavior to Instagram shopping and the personalization of the commerce process," according to Citron's research note https://citronresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Citron-Research-Backing-Up-the-Sleigh-on-Facebook.pdf.

    Citron said Facebook has come a long way, turning the short-seller from a "one-time skeptic to a major bull".

    "As investors have become overly concerned about the short-term noise of privacy and propaganda, they have forgotten to look at the earnings power and potential of the most advanced advertising tool with global reach in messaging, networking, and the future of shopping," the short-seller said.

    What is the best website for monitoring the market?

    Posted: 26 Dec 2018 07:03 PM PST

    Only for monitoring the market. Not managing trades or whatnot. I just want a place where I can view how the stock market is performing other than google search.
