| Posted: 01 Jan 2019 04:55 PM PST Jack Bogle, founder of index fund giant Vanguard Group, is warning investors to prepare for 2019 by decreasing exposure to stocks and increasing investment in defensive strategies, such as fixed income securities like bonds. "Trees don't grow to the sky, and I see clouds on the horizon. I don't know if and when they'll arrive. A little extra caution should be the watchword," Bogle said, speaking in an interview with Barron's published this weekend. "If you were comfortable at a 70 percent to 30 percent [allocation to stocks and fixed income], under these circumstances you'd like to go back to 60 percent to 40 percent, or something like that."

Vanguard is the world's second largest asset manager with $5.3 trillion in global assets under management, as of September 30, 2018. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/12/31/jack-bogles-warning-invest-in-2019-with-a-little-extra-caution.html [link] [comments]  |
| So, uh, how do you do the actual investing? Posted: 01 Jan 2019 02:10 PM PST First of all I'm completely new to this and have a few thousand I'd like to invest. Is there like a website? Are there commissions paid for the purchase of shares? Do I need a specific type of bank account? Lastly, I'd love to hear about your investing styles and I'd greatly appreciate if you pointed me towards a resource I can study that will help. Thank you. [link] [comments]  |
| Did you beat the SP500 in 2018? Posted: 01 Jan 2019 03:50 PM PST SP500 had a -6.24% performance in 2018. Did you do better? What did you do to beat it? What moves did you do to lose to it? [link] [comments]  |
| Einhorn's Greenlight Extends Decline to 34% in Worst Year Posted: 01 Jan 2019 03:38 PM PST David Einhorn closed out 2018 with his biggest annual loss ever for the 22-year-old Greenlight Capital. The firm's main hedge fund fell 9 percent in December, extending this year's decline to 34 percent, according to an investor update viewed by Bloomberg. Greenlight posted some of the industry's best returns in its early years, but has stumbled since losing more than 20 percent in 2015. Other value-investing managers have also struggled, as a decade of historically low interest rates and the rise of passive investing and quant trading pushed growth stocks past their inexpensive brethren. Three Bays Capital and SPO Partners & Co., which sought to make wagers on undervalued stocks, closed in 2018. Einhorn has repeatedly expressed his frustration with the poor performance this year, while remaining steadfast in his commitment to value investing. Waning Returns Greenlight's performance hit its peak in 1997, the year after inception Source: Bloomberg reporting Greenlight, which posted gains only in May and October, underperformed both the broader market and its peers in 2018. The S&P 500 Index dropped 4.4 percent, including dividends, while the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index, an early indicator of industry performance, fell 7 percent through Dec. 28. A spokesperson for the New York-based firm declined to comment. Shrinking Pocketbook At the start of the year, Greenlight managed $6.3 billion in assets, according to a regulatory filing. By May, the firm was down to $5.5 billion. With redemptions and losses, it may start 2019 with less than $5 billion under management. Greenlight's largest holdings as of Sept. 30 included homebuilder Green Brick Partners Inc., insurer Brighthouse Financial Inc. and aircraft leasing firm AerCap Holdings NV, which each declined more than 25 percent during the fourth quarter. Einhorn has been a steady critic of Tesla Inc. and a prominent short-seller of the stock. In November, he told investors the third quarter "will be as good as it gets" for the electric-car maker, which slid in December but was up 26 percent over the last three months of the year.

| Terminal Illness and Investing Posted: 01 Jan 2019 08:32 PM PST Hi. I'm 36 years old and I have amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). I was diagnosed in April of 2015 and, thankfully, have a slow progression that has allowed me to work until this past November. I am now on short-term disability through an insurance company which will transition to long-term in a few months. Today I applied for Social Security Disability, which I am guaranteed to get with my diagnosis. Together, with the insurance, I will make 60% of my most recent salary. My parents just moved in with me to help with my care, as I will soon be in a wheelchair. I've been thinking a lot of my portfolio allocation. I have 56% of my money in various indexes (mostly S&P and TMI). I only have 3% in bonds. The other 40% is in various stocks, usually more growth-minded/risky. The thing about ALS is that I don't know how much longer I will live. I have a very slow progression (thankfully!), the average ALS patient lives 3-5 years after diagnosis. I need my cash to last me an unknown amount of time, but I probably won't make it 10 years. After that, I want to leave as much as I can to my daughter (currently 8 years old). I'm going to cut my spending and increase my investments...but I'm struggling with my portfolio allocation. I want to maximize my returns, but I know that you should go more conservative as you near the end. Any thoughts from the experts here on how to go about my investing? Thanks in advance! EDIT: I've already setup my will so my daughter gets everything at age 25 (assuming I'm gone by then). The executor has been instructed to leave everything as it is until that time. Then there are further instructions to her to hire a fee based advisor if she needs help with investing. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 01 Jan 2019 10:02 PM PST Sorry if this isn't the right place, new to reddit lol. I was wondering how everyone feels about Berkshire Hathaways Class B stock. Over the years Warren Buffet has scrutinized hedge funds and praised the S&P500. In the bet Buffett made in 2008; that the S&P would beat the funds-of-funds (actively managed hedge funds) that were suppose to outperform the market, the S&P won. Since Berkshire doesn't like bureaucracy and prides themselves on doing good business, will Buffett be able to outperform the S&P? Although, the same amount of growth isn't probable since they hit the billion mark. Would you expect Berkshire to outperform the S&P 500 for the foreseeable future? Considering most index funds (Ex: SPY & VOO), in the past 5 years have a 50% return while BRK.B has a 70% return. Thoughts? [link] [comments]  |

| Anyone not investing 6K into their Roth IRA till they see how the market plays out? Posted: 01 Jan 2019 03:51 PM PST I know I am going to get blasted with "stop trying to time the market" responses, but in a time like this is anyone actually waiting to see how things play out? Granted I am only 3 years into investing and i currently have a Roth IRA (VFFVX) 2055 Retirement Fund as I learn the ropes...but I am currently down -$2,858 after the 2018 end [link] [comments]  |
| Which programming languages in finances. Posted: 01 Jan 2019 04:35 AM PST As in the topic. Which programming languages would help with getting a job in finances? Or which are useful in finances? Would it be Ruby/Python? Might be a stupid/not precise question, but w/e. Maybe you guys know the answer anyways. [link] [comments]  |

| I need an automated investment app like M1 finance, but for Canada. Any suggestions? Posted: 01 Jan 2019 10:23 PM PST I wanted to use M1, but it requires a US address. Are there any great apps similar to M1 that will manage Canadian portfolios? Apps, specifically. [link] [comments]  |

| CNBC: Why 2019 could be very good for stocks, after the worst year in a decade Posted: 01 Jan 2019 11:46 PM PST This article correctly outlines the key factors that can contribute to a bullish 2019. However, you should never assume the future can be predicted, and should instead keep the portfolio risk within your (or your clients') risk tolerance. [link] [comments]  |
| Everyone make your 2019 stock predictions Posted: 01 Jan 2019 07:53 AM PST Just a bit of fun. Where do you think the stock market or individual stocks will be at the end of 2019. [link] [comments]  |
| Fund versus benchmark question Posted: 02 Jan 2019 01:29 AM PST Hey everyone, Since january of 2018 I started investing in index funds. One of the funds I invested in (and still am) is the Vanguard US500 Stock Index Fund. This fund supposedly tracks the S&P500. When you plot the funds results for 2018 against the sp500 it shows that the fund outperformed its benchmark. As can be seen in the graph: https://www.iex.nl/Beleggingsfonds-Koers/60012167/Vanguard-Investment-Series-plc-US-500-Stock-Index-Fund-Plus/technische-analyse.aspx My question is: how is it possible that an sp500 fund outperforms the sp500? Does it exclude certain companies or does it assign different % weightings to companies? Forgive me if this is a dumb question, im still a beginner. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments]  |
| VXX to be retired at the end of the month Posted: 01 Jan 2019 10:40 PM PST PSA: anyone following and/or trading VXX should be aware that it's going away and will be automatically cashed out. VXXB will continue to be available. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Jan 2019 05:59 PM PST Hey everyone, my employer offers a traditional and Roth 401k. Since I am able to make post tax contributions in my 401k, does it make sense to open a Roth IRA with a different brokerage? I have heard that IRA's have a larger selection of investments, and you have more control over your funds. Is this true? Are there any advantages of a Roth IRA vs Roth 401k? Except the employer match to the 401k. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Choosing a High Dividend Index Fund Posted: 02 Jan 2019 02:25 AM PST Good morning Investors! Here we are in January 2019. I have cash ready to go into my Roth IRA, and I am thinking of investing for dividend yield. I already have some shares in VDAIX and am planning to invest in VHDYX. Does anyone have any favorite index funds for dividends? What are your individual picks for income? [link] [comments]  |
| Holding shares in a company that left the exchange? Posted: 02 Jan 2019 02:07 AM PST A few years ago I bought a shares in an AIM company (Teathers Financial), however they were then removed from the stock exchange due to some trading rule they didn't meet, and so the shares became un-sellable. The company is still functioning but is not listed on any exchange, so are these shares worth holding onto? Is there any possibility they will become useful in the future? Right now I'm not trading or holding anything else, so they're costing me £12.50 a year to keep the account open. Should I just delete them or is there something else I can do? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Jan 2019 03:51 PM PST If I put in 6% of my pay pretax, my employer contributes 50% of my 6% so total contribution would be 9%. Where do I start? I've been eligible for 12 months now. These are my options for investing. Not sure even after reading articles online about bonds, mutual funds and money market. I uploaded screenshots, link is available below. Edit: I'm 27 in 3 days.

| Posted: 02 Jan 2019 01:31 AM PST New orders — an indicator of future activity — fell for the first time in two and a half years, with companies reporting subdued demand despite some price discounting. New export orders shrank for the ninth month in a row. https://stockmarketnews.today/2019/01/02/chinas-factory-activity-contracted-for-the-first-time-in-19-months-in-december-as-domestic-and-export-orders-continued-to-weaken/ [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Jan 2019 09:41 PM PST I've not a clue where to begin with investing. I've never invested myself, but the prospect of it has interested me for a very long time. Anyone have any tips for a first time investor? Any tips will be looked at and considered carefully. [link] [comments]  |
