| Samsung Shocks Investors With 18% Drop in Profit in the Fourth Quarter 2018 Posted: 07 Jan 2019 05:14 PM PST The South Korean tech giant predicted operating profit for the three months ended December was approximately 10.8 trillion Korean won ($9.67 billion), which was below the 13.2 trillion won that analysts predicted, and a 38.5 percent drop from the previous quarter. (CNBC) Looks like AAPL is not the only one who's struggling. [link] [comments]  |

Americans own about 40% of global wealth, in the year 2000 the national net worth (assets minus liabilities, including government debt) of the US was about $40 Trillion, today it's over $100 Trillion. US household wealth is at an all time high as well: https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.bloomberg.com/amp/news/articles/2018-09-20/u-s-household-wealth-hit-record-106-9-trillion-last-quarter [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 07 Jan 2019 08:17 PM PST Perhaps because the returns on investment allowed the larger company to reinvest in their future, change directions, or move in to the more lucrative market they invested in? Trying to find good examples of this and failing! [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 08 Jan 2019 01:44 AM PST I have $1,000 in stocks and im 18 and I just started investing and i have my money diversified. Around 150$ in all different stocks, (mostly popular Safe mutual funds and safe medium-low risk stocks) i always hear that when im trying to learn more about investing to NEVER have all your money in one place (stock) and that it is risky and dangerous. But my friend asked me a question that knows nothing about investing and I wasn't even too sure how to answer because how much of a beginner i guess i am. He asked how much a share of apple was worth, i said it was very low right now due to the drop overall in the IDJA and its around 178$ per one share compared to how it was few months ago at an average of 222$ per share and he told me, why don't i just sell all my shares, get the $1,000 and reinvest it immediately into apple because how big and inevitably apple will regain when its back up? I told him I wasn't sure and that i was always told never keep all my moneys in one stock. He got me thinking too because apple is pretty much inevitably going to back up.. right? so why not just take out all the money i have and invest in apple? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 07 Jan 2019 07:07 AM PST First, I have no positions in Altria or any tobacco stock period. Further, I have no vested interest in the success or failure of Altria, I just want to provide some information as a shop owner who talks to other shop owners and talks to close to a 100 Juul or pod based system users on a weekly basis. My shop is located in Northern, VA and the average household median income within a 5 miles of me is $119k. I am stating this to give you an idea of the amount of disposable income my clientele have. I saw a post here a few days ago about a guy curious about MO (I think he was interested in getting a long position but I could be mistaken). A lot of people were speculating about the viability of Juul as a market leader going forward and speculating on sales trends and potential vulnerabilities. I figured I'd give you guys a fair look at what's actually happening in shops. Long story short, my Juul users are flocking to other devices/pods en mass and other shop owners are reporting the same in light of significant customer frustration and encouragement by frustrated (at Juul) shop owners. Juul's strength of position relied on two things: coolness among teens/young adults and convenience for the ease of use of the device. As a result, the majority of my Juul customers fit two categories: college kids + professionals that want to quit but don't want to deal with any "hassle". Juul is no less cool among college kids, however college kids I'm finding are hilariously non brand loyal when it comes to what goes in their Juul device. The biggest threat to Juul for this demographic are compatible pod companies which are popping up every day. Every major distributor I deal with now carries at least one if not more compatible pod systems that sell for what the Juul pod wholesale used to go for or less. The one brand I'm seeing with the greatest potential to supplant Juul is called Eon (not publicly traded) and they produce the Eon+ Pods which are Juul compatible. They are also at a higher nicotine strength, which I thought would turn off my Juul users but apparently is a positive for most of them. They also hold more liquid by volume (nearly 40% more) and offer a wider range of flavors than Juul, while matching their popular offerings (e.g. Mango). After testing their flavors, we put the Eon+ pods on the shelf and I'm selling them as fast as I'm stocking them. For my customers who switched to the Eon+ I'm seeing high satisfaction in both flavors. The majority of the college Juul users that come into my shop now walk out with an Eon+ pod instead of a Juul pod and all have reported satisfaction with the flavors. It's a no-brainer really: higher nic, more varied fruit flavors (Lemonade, Green Apple, Watermelon) and more per volume at a lower cost. I can sell Eon+ pods at a good margin for the cost that I'm being offered to carry actual Mango Juul pods. I sold out my Mango Eon+ pods in a handful of days and placed a large order to replenish, that's how well they are selling. For users that are done with Juul all together, many are switching to pod based systems that are designed to be refilled with salt nicotine (the same type of e-juice found in Juuls) which offers 100's of flavor choices. Typical pod systems go for $35-$80 depending on the company and quality of the pod system, and the juices go for $20-$25 depending on the shop. The difference in usage cost here presents huge savings for the users: a 30ml of salt nic goes for roughly $22 in a normal B&M setting, while Juul packs (4 pods) has 2.8ml of e-juice selling for $16-$20 (Juul mango pods can go for as high as $25 in some shops in some cities). The effective cost savings are also a no-brainer and again customer satisfaction is higher as not only are they saving money, but they have more flavors and some of the devices "hit better" (think bigger draws, higher temps, etc...). So yeah, compatible pods and refillable pod systems are huge threats to Juul while the company is in a state of flux as it pertains to the retail operations. Of the 62 customers that have switched to either option, not a single one has come back to buy Juul brand pods. Even still, there are some Juul users who are buying blank pods and filling with the salt nic as well and those folks haven't moved back to Juul pods either (think this number for me is at 7). Juul customers are eager to switch and that would worry me significantly about holding MO long considering the cost of their recent investment. There is genuinely no brand loyalty when it comes to what goes in their (college kids) device and among my older clients there is no brand loyalty to the device itself (the college kids prefer to keep their Juuls but switch to compatible pods, the older professional group tend to be the ones switching to refillable systems). So yeah, feel free to ask me any questions about my writeup and/or Rampart. [link] [comments]  |
| Calculating the cost of mutual fund expenses over time Posted: 07 Jan 2019 08:06 PM PST Hello all, I am seeking the answer to a question regarding mutual fund expenses, and I can't seem to find an answer online despite how simple it is. Say I invest X amount of money in a mutual fund and it grows Y amount of dollars over Z years assuming addition of D dividends (annually or monthly, I don't care, but I think those would give different formulas). I want to know if there is a formula (i.e. exponential growth formula) for calculating the amount of Y dollars I will gain over Z years assuming DRIP is used, but with expenses of the mutual fund deducted. I am interested in solely this value. Does anyone know where I might find this, or does anyone know this? I spent hours googling for such a formula and found none. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 07 Jan 2019 05:54 PM PST I've been trying to maximize my investment potential. Currently my wife and I are able to put away $5,750 away each month into a fund for real estate. We currently own a 4plex and duplex in our home state. 4plex is worth about $440,000 and duplex $350,000. 4plex I owe 372,000 and duplex 297,000. My goal is to reach 6,000 a month of cash flow minimum. We are looking to leave state once we reach this point. Preferably want to move to Washington state. How do you recommend I reach this goal as quickly and efficiently as possible? Here is the idea I have in mind. Save 310,000 by Dec 2023. Purchase a 12 plex with 25% down leaving us 60,000 cash for reserves. Then dec 2024 put down 25% on a minimum 4unit property. Do this again mid 2026. Then move to Washington with an fha loan on a 4 unit. Live there one year then buy a duplex in 2027. 24 units times 250= 6,000 a month. Does anyone know of a better way to reach this goal without hard money lending? Any other creative ideas? [link] [comments]  |

| How to properly currency hedge for long term stock investments? Posted: 08 Jan 2019 02:16 AM PST I am from Europe and I want to invest in the US stock market therefore I have the risk of currency fluctuations. Lets assume I would like to invest 100k into AAPL for the long term (10years+). I know that I could currency hedge my position with options and futures. However, if I want to keep my position+hedge when the option/future expires I need about the same amount money as my stock position is (100k) to fill it. Never done options or futures, so I am not sure if I understand them correctly. Could anyone ellaborate? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |

| Received unsolicited call from brokers "financial consultant" Posted: 07 Jan 2019 09:29 PM PST Hey all, I've had an account with a stock broker/investment company for a while and have never had any problems or complaints. Recently I received a call from a "financial consultant" who works with the company to "learn about my goals." She wants to set up a time to talk further. I have verified that she works for the company (AKA this is not a phone scam). My question is: Have you heard of this before? What should I expect from her? Is there a fee? Thoughts? Note: This call/service was totally unsolicited and I feel 100% comfortable managing my own investments. [link] [comments]  |

| @ those well-versed in fixed-income products, lend me your wisdom Posted: 07 Jan 2019 03:17 PM PST so i just came across a considerable amount of money because of a recent acquisition (ELY buying out LOXO) and my stock options were vested immediately in the all-cash deal. because of this, i'd like to park my cash in fixed income products but i have no idea where to start as i've only dabbled with equities. should i go with short-term treasury bonds or corporate bonds? if i go corporate bonds is there a specific minimum rating of the bond i should look for? for instance i just did a random search on fidelity and found these quotes, are any of these any good? - https://gyazo.com/02f130d51fc753fc87f78042c359cf17 also, know any CUSIPs that you guys are personally invested in? if i know nothing about bonds should i just park my money in a CD? any help would be appreciated :D - please don't tell me to put my money in the market and dollar cost average SPY during this recent downturn - i exited the market around september and i have a hunch that equities will come to a standstill this year and even though the fed has signaled 2 rate hikes this year, i think bonds are the safer play [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 Jan 2019 02:57 PM PST On this subreddit I have not seen much discussion regarding Preferred Stock. What is everyone's take on it? I consistently see yields around 6-8% with Preferred shares and they are relatively close to their par value. I have even seen examples of Preferred shares trading significantly under par value and still continuing to pay their dividends. I'd like to hear your assessment on why or why not you have incorporated Preferred Stock in your portfolio and if so, how you construct your holdings. [link] [comments]  |
