    trading with small amounts

    Posted: 02 Jan 2019 10:00 AM PST

    How do you guys scratch your itch when you see a promising stock but dont have the money to fully take advantage of it? I'm more of a long-term investor, buy and hold forever with compounding interest but lately, I've seen a few potential short-term buy and sell stocks (Eg: I'm keeping an eye on GE) that have some promise... but I dont have a large enough sum to make the profits even worth it after commissions (I live in Canada, so Robinhood is a no go).

    Currently, my portfolio is built on long-term stocks and ETF's (DIS, ENB, SPHD, VGRO, VXUS and ZLB) which I re-invest all dividends back in - it's ~$1700 between them all. I'm 25, so I have PLENTY of time to keep adding into these for the long run... but how do you invest your money in small amounts?

    I put ~$200/month into investments (yes i know its not alot, no there is no other way to put more in, ive done the spreadhseets, i dont have any debt other than my mortgage and yes i do have a nest egg). My wife is currently a stay at home mom, and will be for another little while as we are planning kid #2 (she won the rock, paper scissors game) for this year. So the next few years will be stuck ~$200/month invested.

    Do I stick with tossing it into the ETF's and build them up for more compounded interest? (what im going with right now)

    Do I save up a lump sum and put it towards a possible short term buy?

    Do I sell what I have now, invest into bitcoin and become a bijillionaire?

    Let me know what you would do. My risk tolerance is moderate/high.

    TLDR:
    How would you invest your money if you could only put $200/month into the market?

    Now a good time to get into AAPL for the long term?

    Posted: 02 Jan 2019 07:26 PM PST

    I made my cash contribution to my Roth IRA today, and have been looking to add apple to my portfolio, this drop is seeming like a very nice opportunity to buy for the long term.

    I'm only 30 so the idea is to hold until I retire. I should be able to buy 40 shares if it stays below 150 tomorrow morning. Is it crazy to think this will be a $1000 stock over the next couple of decades?

    GE Best/ Worse case scenario

    Posted: 02 Jan 2019 07:57 AM PST

    What is your opinion on the best and worse case scenarios for $GE? I cant imagine such a company going under even in a serious economic downturn, but who knows? I figure it's at about its low point now (or within 5-10% of it) what's the move from here? What saves them abs what could potentially be left to hurt the company further? Obviously, nobody can predict the future, just curious if anyone else is looking into this.

    15 Lessons in 2018

    Posted: 02 Jan 2019 02:09 PM PST

    These are the lessons I learned in 2018 - http://musingzebra.com/15-lessons-in-2018/

    1. Experience may not be a good teacher

    Most elderly who died in Hurricane Katrina dies not because of their health, but because of confidence and denial. They have survived several hurricanes over their lifetime, so they believe Hurricane Katrina is no exception. Experience can create a close attitude that prevents us from seeing things with a fresh pair of eyes when the underlying circumstances have changed. Hence it is critical to stay within your circle of competence. Have a good dose of humility by appreciating how much you don't know. Always be skeptical about your own belief and beware of confirmation bias.

    1. What to buy is overrated

    We value action over inaction. We don't like to look stupid for missing out on an opportunity as a result of doing nothing. We also believe more actions (actively buying and selling) increase return. But don't confuse movement with progress. Far more money has been lost buying into bad ideas than missing out on great opportunities. Avoiding losses is paramount to the preservation of capital, which is the precondition to compound return. Know what not to buy is more important than know what to buy. This is where you need better filters.

    1. Better filters, not more information

    We don't need more information, we need a better way to think, to have better filters. Filters separate the wheat from the chaff by isolating the signal from the noise so we can focus on those 1 or 2 variables that determine 80% of the outcome. My favorite filter is to ask yourself: Will this matter 20 years from now?

    1. Leave your ego outside the market

    In the market, it is not about being right or wrong or defeat, it is about making decision. We often become reluctant to sell a losing position because we equate it as failure and incompetence. We personalize the market and let ego creeps into our decision-making process. And the easiest way to personalize the market is to have an opinion about everything. You become interested in defending your own opinion instead of making the right decision. You confused net-worth with self-worth. So always ask 'What if I'm wrong?'

    1. ''I don't know'

    No one likes to say 'I don't know'. It is a conversation killer. It makes one look stupid. But here are the benefits: You avoid personalizing the market because you don't have an opinion on everything; it create open-mindedness—a chance to listen to the other side of a story; decision quality goes up because you don't buy into bad ideas; it cultivate intellectual humility and willingness to learn; and you'll treat your investment ideas as hypotheses that need to be tested instead of a trophy to be cherished.

    The Stock Market Today: What To Know For Wednesday, January 2, 2019

    Posted: 02 Jan 2019 05:11 AM PST

    The stock market today is likely to continue to slide at least for the early morning session on Monday, January 2. Though today markets the first trading day of 2019, the bulls are taking a back seat early on.

    Talks about China, the slowdown, oil, North Korea, and the Gov shutdown for catalysts to this next leg lower. I also think that we're likely to see an impact from banks like Bank Of America who has warrants expiring as well... adding pressure.

    Taxes

    Posted: 02 Jan 2019 10:35 AM PST

    This will be my first year filing taxes with a trading account. I'm wondering how they are applied. Do I pay tax on each individual sale of a stock? Or is it applied to my total profit/loss for the year?

    Investing in stocks with little money

    Posted: 02 Jan 2019 04:27 AM PST

    Hi!

    I'm planning to invest into some companies on the stock market with a little money, little by little (10-20 usd / month). I'm familiar about how the stock market works and I read that it is pretty hard to speculate with little money. I plan to invest in long term, so I don't want to speculate.

    My question is that, does it worth to invest with little money each month, considering the trading fees and the minimum activity on online markets? I mean, if there is a fee for every trade (let's say 5 usd), ofcourse it doesn't worth investing 10, because of the risk. So, are there online brokers that can be used for this kind of investment? If no, I am interested in investing in certain indexes, too, so it might satisfy my needs. I am from the EU, btw.

    Do you know any exchanges where I can invest with a small amount of money each month in companies (10+ to diversifie) or in indexes (3-4)? Sorry if this question is too "noob" here. :)

    Thanks in advance!

    USLV on a good run

    Posted: 02 Jan 2019 09:55 AM PST

    It's a 3X silver price ETN (it's like an ETF but for commodities).

    Swing trade with this for one to six months. This is not a long-term hold due to the nature of this kind of leveraged futures fund.

    Don't get greedy, just buy a small amount and have a set exit point. This is a fun and simple way to play around with trends and leveraged instruments.
