| Posted: 06 Jan 2019 07:13 AM PST I've never used margin but always heard it's discouraged. I hear about people losing money and having to sell out of positions to pay for losses. This seems like it is all higher risk wsb type "investing". What would happen to a value type, long term investor with an eye for dividends? Assuming a $2000 margin, a correction or bear market may cut 10-20% of a well diversified portfolio totaling upwards of $400+ loss. The $10/mo fee could be repaid with dividends that I don't reinvest. What is my risks here? Am I pretty much risking a $400 bear market loss and $10/mo? Thanks for the responses!!

| Thoughts on my friend's investing style. Posted: 06 Jan 2019 07:40 AM PST Hi there. I recently introduced my friend to the concept of investing in stocks and having his money grow over a long period of time. Helping him out with his portfolio, I recommended he invest in dividend ETFs, and also VOO. My friend invested in an ETF with predominantly tech/internet stocks - OGIG. Which contains names such as Amazon, Netflix, Alibaba, Facebook, etc. He also bought OGIG and OUSA. He's been in the investing game for the past two months - he's been progressively buying more and more OGIG because the internet stocks have been going up aggressively during positive days as of late and it's his best performing ETF to date, from this two month period. He says VOO is garbage because it hasn't performed well lately due to current market conditions. This concerns me - time has proven that actively managed ETFs FILLED with tech stocks don't outperform the S&P500. Not to mention just because tech stocks soar, doesn't mean it's the best investment to be filling up 50%+ of your portfolio with. What are your thoughts on this? [link] [comments]  |

| First Time Investing, Always Had An Interest Posted: 06 Jan 2019 05:28 AM PST Hey guys, sorry if this is not the place to post this, but if it isn't I'd like to know which subreddit to put it under. So here goes, sometime after taxes are filed, I'll be coming into the largest amount of money I've ever been in possession of. It may not be a lot to most, but after taxes are taken out it'll be roughly $10,000 USD, give or take a grand. Only payments I have are my car and insurance, but my paycheck takes care of that. I like to think proactively and towards the future, so if possible I'd like to invest this money into stocks. It's always interested me ever since I was younger and one of my childhood friends turned his $1,000 into roughly $5k and some change. Now I know I would never be as lucky as that, but I'm optimistic. Just like electricity, I know enough about it and stocks/investing to know that I don't know enough, and to ask for help when it comes down to it. So enough of a back story, my question is this: Would it be in my best interest to find an investment advisor that acts as a fiduciary? This money isn't necessarily classified as disposable, but I would rather see a return with someone competent who does it for a living, than me just blindly throwing money at a wall and hoping some of it sticks. Also, when it comes down to picking a finical advisor, what are some good questions to ask and what are some red flags? [link] [comments]  |
| Long FB, the God of Virtual Reality Posted: 05 Jan 2019 07:46 PM PST I think that the fact that: People have to invest in a particular brand app store will make the products very sticky. ( Not going to buy a HTC Shadow 2 over an Oculus Quest 2, when the Oculus Quest 2 can play my $1000+ Oculus Quest 1 library, and the Shadow can't) The price of HMDs will make it unlikely that most people will purchase more than one There should be a limited amount of platforms that recieve developer attention, based on the number of users on the platforms. Both the number and quality of apps will fall into a liminted number of ecosystems at best. Will limit the amount of app stores that can be successful, much like the smart phone, or gaming console market today. I see little competition for FB outside of Sony (and Sony competes only in the demographic that has Playstations) in near term VR. I don't see Valve as a serious long term competitor, but if they are it will be in high end PC VR, which is a small niche market. I see VR developing into a market with very little competition amongst a few app ecosystems. Facebook/Oculus is years ahead on research over the competition, creating better products, at cheaper prices, and with better marketing. This will allow them to capture market share, and lock consumers in early on. Margins in this business will be sustainably high, as evident in Android or Apple app stores. VR will be a high growth market for years to come, and FB also has strong chances to become a major player in AR. [link] [comments]  |

| Worst Losses in Amount/Percentage Posted: 06 Jan 2019 11:18 AM PST What are your worst losses in terms of dollar amount and/or percentage? Mine is buying VRX on margin at $10. And then being forced to sell it at $8.60 due to being on margin. I had 2,000 shares for a loss of $2,800. Percentage loss was 14 percentage. [link] [comments]  |
| Trying to pull out with small loss Posted: 05 Jan 2019 06:18 PM PST New to investing. I opened a little account with Acorns in August. After watching my measly $1005 drop by 15% over the holidays I'm seeing it come back and sit at -10%. I keep hearing that we're in for a world of trouble with Brexit and the rising interest rates. So here's my question. Should I keep waiting for it to go up, or pull out now and cut my losses? The way Acorns is set up, I don't have much control over what I have stocks in. Currently my portfolio is: Agressive 1.6 shares in "large company stocks" 1.3 shares in "small company stocks" 2.4 shares in "emerging market stocks" 1.26 shares in "real estate stocks" 4.8 shares in "Intl Large company stocks" $1005 invested :: $909 current value Any input will be much appreciated.

| Posted: 05 Jan 2019 09:54 PM PST Is there a broker (probably outside of USA) that allows shorting of stocks without the $25,000 requirement? Also, is that 25,000 requirement include shorted stocks? As in, do I need 30k if I want to short 5k of apple or can I just have 25k in my account total? [link] [comments]  |
| About the people who nay say about day trading... Posted: 05 Jan 2019 05:36 PM PST People who say that day trading successfully isn't possible. -Sorry to say - have a loser mentality. If you have the patience and will power to succeed in day trading you have to study, read books, network with other traders and practice a strategy that includes risk management with paper money before even considering risking your capital. So many people view day trading as a get rich quick scheme and gambling. Yeah if you don't study and practice you will be unsuccessful and lose. That goes for anything in life. [link] [comments]  |

| Is my strategy stupid or smart? Posted: 05 Jan 2019 05:44 PM PST I'm a rookie level "trader" with a margin account. My new strategy is to wake up and watch futures. If futures look good I buy a few stocks in the morning and get out within an hour or two. I have not kept money in the market overnight. I think I can make $500 or so a day with $50 or so in fees. Please be brutal. Is this stupid or smart? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Jan 2019 03:40 PM PST What do you think of researching penny stocks is it even worthwhile even with a lot of time on your hands? Unless I get some more experience I wouldn't buy something that risky but its still intriguing. Was looking at WFT UEC and SDLP a little bit. [link] [comments]  |
