    Grubhub Hit With Huge Class-Action Suit

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 01:51 PM PST

    The Wharton graduate, who "sparked Philly's Indian explosion" with his Tiffin concept, has filed a class-action lawsuit in Philadelphia's federal court against Grubhub, alleging that the company may have bilked its many restaurant customers out of more than $5 million in what Narula calls a "scheme" involving "sham telephone orders."

    AMA Institutional investor working for a hedge fund in the US

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 06:56 PM PST

    I enjoy reading this sub to blow off steam or learn a bit about personal finance (as my finance knowledge is not directly relevant to personal finance decisions). I'm bored watching a slow football game, so I'm happy to answer any questions you all have about investment professionals and how we look at the world vs retail investing.

    For full context, I'm an associate (~3 years experience) at a hedge fund that does equity and credit.

    P2P Lending is a Scam - Change My Mind

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 08:39 AM PST

    I was reviewing all the defaults and charged-off loans in my Lending Club portfolio earlier today and it just makes my blood boil.

    ​

    For Example consider this borrower, who stole $40K and faces zero consequences

    ​

    Seems like you can create a massive bump in your income by taking out huge P2P loans ($30K, $40K, etc), make one payment, and then run off with the money. It seems there's no reason to not do this when there are no negative consequences. The first few defaulting borrowers in my portfolio didn't even suffer a decline in their credit score for stealing all this money.

    Are REITs worth it?

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 11:27 PM PST

    I am a total newbie here and want to start off 'safer' first. But im not too sure if REITs are a good option as to my knowledge they are kinda a long term thing for passive income rather than buying and selling for profits. If so, what REITs do yall recommend?

    At what point will Buffett sell AAPL and what will happen then? Past examples?

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 05:10 PM PST

    I'm bringing up Buffett and AAPL just cause it is a famous example, but I'm generally curious, at what point an investor of the size of Buffet will exit such a huge holding of a stock?

    Do they have to give a warning? Does it happen all stocks at once? Who is the counterpart that can buy so many shares at once? What would it do to the stock price? Any past examples of such massive stock selling?

    Best Vangard ETFs for teenage investors?

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 12:55 PM PST

    I'm working with the Vanguard custodial accounts of my two 16-year-olds trying to help them invest about $8000 each (grandparent gift) for the medium term, say 10-15 years (part of a down payment for a house?) or possibly for the longer term. (Their college accounts are already fully funded, otherwise that would be a no-brainer.) They have a bit of experience with investing over the past two years (and have gotten burned with a few things), enough to know that they want ETFs rather than any individual stocks.

    ​

    For that kind of time frame, should we just do the BND, BNDX, VTI, VXUS that Vanguard says will create a fully diversified portfolio of domestic and international stocks and bonds? Or what else should we/they be considering? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

    Real fresh: index funds/LIC’s?

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 11:29 PM PST

    I'm just getting into my journey to be financially independent, and I'm really lacking knowledge.

    Honestly I need a guide into investing in the share market as this is where I'm currently at in my journey.

    I do know that I want to invest in an index fund or a listed investment company with the lowest fees possible. I'm Australian btw not sure how relevant this is.

    So: Index fund vs. listed investment company (i think?)

    Then: Which ones, and why?

    Then: When to buy and why?

    Down 20% in Vanguard for last quarter of 2018. I expected some, but not that much.

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 06:28 PM PST

    Caveat up front by saying I am very new to investing. I've had 401k funds all over the place as well as a small investment account and I finally consolidated everything this year. I researched all of my funds, went for diversified ETFs that were historically solid performers and then lost over 20% from September to December. Ouch.

    I am at 90% stocks, so I know I'm exposed and I expected to get hit by the downturn this quarter, however it seems like I did way worse than the average joe. Am I right? What obvious thing did I miss?

    [28M] Where do you locate your accounts when living abroad?

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 03:39 PM PST

    I'm French, living in the UK, and will soon be living in the USA.

    In general, would you advise to concentrate all your investment accounts in one country?

    Should I try to play it smart by investing where taxes on stock benefits are the lowest?

    I don't feel confident with scattering accounts all over the place, in different countries ...

    In the same time, I like Vanguard and its low fees, it's available in the UK/USA, but not really in France.

    On the long run, I think I'll spend my life in France, I don't want to change nationality, etc. So if my accounts are abroad and I'm living in France, how do I contribute/retrieve money remotely, is it even legal?

    Thanks in advance for your answers, I'm ready to finally invest into the stock market, but this technical problem bugs me.

    Ps: just to be clear, I'm talking about my accounts, not about "should I invest in the UK economy (Ftse 100)" etc.

    Why nobody should be investing in blockchain

    Posted: 06 Jan 2019 03:34 AM PST

    Hey everyone!

    Blockchain has become an incredibly popular concept in the tech world. However, as an experienced product manager, as well as blockchain expert, I have come to a conclusion that despite all the hype, blockchain is not useful for anything in the real world. I am also hugely skeptical of more generic blockchain applications, be it Etherium, smart contracts or all those other proposed ideas.

    To find out why I am skeptical, explore the Q&A below. It is written in a simple form of questions and answers.

    If you disagree and believe you have a satisfactory counterargument, feel free to comment or drop me an email. If you have an idea of a problem that blockchain is a perfect solution for, drop me a line as well. But please, read the Q&A first, at least some of it :)

    Good dividend stock - not a reit

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 07:47 PM PST

    Looking for a stock or maybe even a fund that pays a 6%+ dividend

    My plan is to buy a VERY strong company. I feel like the market can still go down a quite a bit and I want something that I can keep buying and adding to knowing it will eventually go back up.

    I don't want a real estate reit I don't have a good feeling about real estate in the coming years.

    Any good ideas out there?

    Trading platform for non-US resident

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 01:23 PM PST

    I live in Switzerland, and I would like to buy (and more or less forget) some funds and ETFs. When I was in Italy I had an account with my bank, and the costs were very low.

    It seems that here everything is much more expensive, instead. So I wonder if you have any suggestions for trading platforms that are open to non-US residents without too much of a hassle. I think Schwab is an option, but the more the merrier.

    Gold higher than Rhodium??

    Posted: 06 Jan 2019 01:53 AM PST

    I was looking up the prices for gold and Rhodium. Per gram ( because I am a proud Dane). gold is 41.37 https://www.moneymetals.com/precious-metals-charts/gold-price Rhosium is 39.22 https://markets.businessinsider.com/commodities/rhodiumpreis which seems like a big drop to me as it was more expensive a few weeks ago.

    can someone confirm and explain please?

    Basic question about the stock market

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 06:22 PM PST

    I thought that the point of having a company join the stock market was raising capital. Higher stock, means more market cap, means the company has more money to invest (or they can give dividends).

    BUT ... when I buy Amazon at 1500, that 1500 goes not to Amazon but to someone who selling his or her share. If I buy tomorrow for 1550 same thing. The price rising doesn't go to the company it goes to the seller right?
