    Is expected volatility actually causing less volatility?

    Posted: 31 Dec 2018 09:05 AM PST

    So for the last week people have been mostly expecting highly volatile markets during the month of January, but the past 2-3 days we have seen the exact opposite. The daily changes in the market have been very small <1% changes in the market.

    Is the fact that we all expect volatility actually causing people to feel more comfortable holding their stocks, actually causing less volatility?

    Meanwhile many people see this low spot as a time to buy which could be causing the small increases we are seeing in the market. Is it possible that traders gained some confidence and that this could be when the market starts rising again?

    As we wave goodbye to 2018, what are your stock market resolutions and goals for 2019?

    Posted: 31 Dec 2018 02:13 PM PST

    For me, my goals are only indirectly related to the market. I've been trading full time since 2013 but have, over the last 2 years, let trading take a back seat to bigger goals, namely building and growing LazyFA, and honing my fundamental research skills.

    In 2019 I'd like to grow the app to at least 20,000 users (currently just under 4,000) and would like to develop a mobile app for it as well. Aside from that I've got a goal to read one new book each month, and will continue to hone my development skills while trading options on the side, mostly selling SPX spreads. If the volatility continues as it has been for the end of 2018, this should be very profitable and fairly low maintenance.

    If you're just starting out, sometimes it can help to put your goals out there in public, but regardless of your experience, what are your trading/investing/personal goals for 2019?

    Happy new year and best of luck to everyone in whatever your endeavors!

    Devil's advocate for the use of Shillers PE ratio?

    Posted: 31 Dec 2018 03:06 AM PST

    I heard that Shillers PE ratio is not useful as of now, due to greatly elevated PE during 2008-9 due to financial crisis when PE went through the roof due to reduced earnings, and since Shiller PE is usually trailing 10 years, 2019 would have much "better" Shiller PE compared to 2018 due to exclusion of the worst years in financial crisis.

    Any truth to that? How useful is Shiller PE for US stock market valuation in your opinion?

    Squeezing money out of a community bank - Activist Investor Lawrence Seidman increase stake in BWFG to 7.29%

    Posted: 31 Dec 2018 02:58 PM PST

    Today, Lawrence Seidman, the activist investor who in the past has been characterized as Mr. Potter from It's a Wonderful Life (see this old Forbes article for some background on Mr. Seidman) has increased his stake in Bankwell Financial Group (NASDAQ: BWFG) to 7.29% in the community bank.

    Seidman's first 13D filing in BWFG was made earlier this month on Dec 13, 2018.

    Purpose of transaction: "​The Reporting Persons originally purchased the Shares based on the Reporting Persons' belief that the Shares, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity."

    Siedman also stated that he had been having several conversations and meetings with management. Subsequent to this first 13D filing, on Dec 19th, BWFG announced a 400,000 share buyback program.

    The current stock price of ~$28.65 (mid-day) is just slightly above Siedman's average purchase price (based on latest 13D filing) of $28.15.

    This is a post from my blog: 13D Filing Blog

    Are stocks P/E ratios artificially high due to tax changes?

    Posted: 31 Dec 2018 12:09 PM PST

    The Corporate tax cut has been a huge boon to many companies. Has the increased profit caused P/E's to be artificially low? If so, will they rise as soon as the tax benefit ends?

    College kid seeking advise

    Posted: 30 Dec 2018 09:31 PM PST

    Hi guys I'm a junior in college and am looking to start investing using Robinhood. Right now I only have about $300 to start with but I've been doing some reading and trying to learn. With these being my first time in the market though I don't wanna jump in blind. Because of this, I'm asking for your best recommendations for how to spread or put my money in Robinhood with a little bit about why to put it in these stocks well. Thanks again for helping out a 21 year old looking to grow up a little.
