    Kamala Harris wants to tax each stock trade by half a percent to fund free college education. How much will this affect those of us who buy and sell stocks as investments?

    Posted: 28 Jan 2019 08:03 PM PST

    I was looking up her platforms because someone told me she wanted to make it illegal to own guns with more than a 10-round capacity (yikes), and then came across her plan for taxing stock trades even more.

    Harris would enact the "College for All Act" proposed by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. That would create a government funding program that would pay for tuition and fees at public colleges and universities for students with incomes of $125,000 a year or less. This would be funded by a fee on Wall Street firms of 0.5 percent per stock trade. She supports expanding Head Start and Early Head Start, and would create a "national universal prekindergarten," though she has not yet offered specifics for that plan. Source

    A table of finance-related podcasts and a short description of each

    Posted: 28 Jan 2019 10:59 PM PST

    This question gets asked a lot and I had made a list before of various podcasts people might be interested in, so I thought I'd make an updated one. I scrapped the "notable episode" column because it seemed subjective and it was a pain in the ass to go back and see which ones I had found interesting in each podcast. Anyway, enjoy!

    Podcast iTunes Descriotion
    According to Sources https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/according-to-sources/id1440651350?mt=2 The host is sort of a "special situations" trader that focuses on M&A, so this podcast is primarily based around that tilt. He is partly reporting what major M&A deals are occurring (or rumored), and partly giving his trade setup for given ideas. He also ocassionaly brings on guests that specialize in a specific type of M&A, or that have been reporting on a given deal.
    Real Vision Presents (previously Adventures in Finance) https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/real-vision-presents/id1210383304?mt=2 This podcast used to be good. It's from the guys that brought you RealVision (which is great), but they changed the format sometime last year and it's fallen off my list of podcasts. The episodes are now a back-and-forth between two people who discuss some newsworthy development and its knock-on effects, but they tend to go towards the more esoteric stuff that doesn't seem like it's pertinent to investing (IMO). For example, one episode was a discussion on cork production in Australia and wine sales in China.
    Bigger Pockets https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-biggerpockets-real-estate-investing-podcast/id594419649?mt=2 Probably one of the best podcasts for real estate investing. I'm not an avid listener but I've listened to 20-30 episodes (they have hundreds). They have everyone from tax attorneys to home flippers, to apartment building owners, to shopping mall owners come on and explain their process. Really informative if you want to figure out what kind of real estate investing is for you.
    Bloomberg Trillions https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/trillions/id1318276878?mt=2 This one is all about ETFs. They talk about various topics, from how ETFs work, to what new ETFs are being created, to what the best ticker symbols are. Pretty light-hearted and some good info about the mechanics of ETFs, for those that are interested.
    Business Wars https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/business-wars/id1335814741?mt=2 A new personal favorite of mine. Not so much for "investing," but it's a great podcast that takes you through major business competitions (e.g. Nike vs Adidas, Sony vs Microsoft, Burger King vs McDonalds). Really cool format. Each "series" is six episodes.
    Chat with Traders https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/chat-with-traders/id957265404?mt=2 The host isn't some big time hedge fund trader, he's more of your everyman, so this is a good podcast where you can relate to a lot of the questions he asks. His guests are also more relatable--people who trade based on their edge, but mostly smaller accounts (relatively speaking). Not a whole lot of value guys, this one is more algo/quant focused but still varied. There are some bigger guests as well, if you like that.
    Epsilon Theory https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/epsilon-theory-podcast/id1107682538?mt=2 I like Ben Hunt's work, so I listened to his podcast briefly, but don't follow it much anymore. He focuses on market sentiment, so it's interesting if that's your schtick, but not really my cup of tea. Better description wanted.
    FT Alphachat https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/ft-alphachat/id448302257?mt=2 From the FT, this one is more "newsy." They bring on guests, usually academics, and discuss noteworthy econmic news and possible impacts. Not a whole lot of actionable stuff here, but it's good if you're looking for something at the intersection of investing and news.
    Futures Radio Show https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/futures-radio-show/id1017809838?mt=2 The host is a futures trader that focuses on technicals, but he brings on guests from various other types of investing, including fundamentals, macro, and sentiment. I like this one because it's so varied from episode to episode. If you don't know what kind of investing you like yet, this is a good one to give you some insights into a bunch of different types. For example, a recent episode was about trading based on weather. Interesting stuff.
    Grant's Current Yield https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/grants-current-yield-podcast-finance-expert-jim-grant/id1207583745?mt=2 Jim Grant is really well known so no need to go into detail about him, but this is a shorter podcast and guests have 3-5 minute commentary. The only downside is you get about 3 minutes of messages from sponsors for 10-15 minutes of actual content.
    Hidden Forces https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/hidden-forces/id1205359334?mt=2 This isn't strictly an "investing" podcast, but the majority of episodes are finance-related. The host is more of a Renaissance man that likes to bring on guests to talk about whatever strikes his fancy that week, but it tends to be financial most of the time. He's a great interviewer and I personally share a lot of interests with the host, so even the non-financial episodes are interesting.
    Invest Like the Best https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/invest-like-the-best/id1154105909?mt=2 Invest Like the Best and Masters in Business are very similar so the same description: the host is a money manager, so guests tend to be from the investing world, but you get a lot of overlap from management and startups as well. Since both are popular podcasts, they do get some big names every now and then, like Ray Dalio and Howard Marks.
    Macro Musings https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/macro-musings-with-david-beckworth/id1099277290?mt=2 For those of you into macro investing, this podcast may be of interest, BUT, it's very academic. The host is a PhD and the discussions are usually academic in nature. There is also a lot of "real-world" stuff, like the Fed, QE/QT, etc, but realize that the primary focus is not about how to invest. You do get to learn a lot; for example, one episode discusses the difference between a corridor system and floor system for interest rates.
    MacroVoices https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/macro-voices/id1079172742?mt=2 Probably one of my favorite podcasts, but I like investing from a global macro standpoint, so YMMV. The host is a hedge fund manager that started off as a software engineer. He trades oil futures, so spends the first 20 minutes or so going through his "market wrap" which is his personal commentary on oil, USD, gold, and the S&P 500. If you're not into all that, skip to about 20 minutes in for the feature interviews. These are all macro themed (duh!). Host has a clear bearish bias on the US but he tends to ask a question and get out of the way to let the guest talk, so I enjoy it.
    Masters in Business https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/masters-in-business/id730188152?mt=2 Invest Like the Best and Masters in Business are very similar so the same description: the host is a money manager, so guests tend to be from the investing world, but you get a lot of overlap from management and startups as well. Since both are popular podcasts, they do get some big names every now and then, like Ray Dalio and Howard Marks.
    Meb Faber Show https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-meb-faber-show/id1128955736?mt=2 One of the more popular podcasts. Similar to Invest Like the Best and Masters in Business, but usually doesn't stray into the business/management side of things. The host is a quant, but guests vary, so you get a good cross-section.
    Money Tree Investing https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/money-tree-investing/id916463101?mt=2 Here's the thing. If a podcast doesn't fit my criteria for what I like, I just take it off my list and forget about it. This is one that I actively advise against listening to, though. If you want to give it a go anyway, start with Episode 152 with Suze Orman. I had no idea who this chick was bt I read the description to this episode that claimed that women are better investors than men. Coming from a science/medicine background, this wasn't surprising, women are much better at keeping their emotions in check when necessary but also better at gauging emotions of others. I though she was going to lay down some science and tell us why women are better so that maybe we could learn, but nope, she goes on an hour long rant about why men suck. The hosts not only allow it, but basically egg her on.
    Featured Voices by Peak Prosperity https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/featured-voices/id462415188?mt=2 The host here has a bearish bias on US economics and his bias is fairly apparent (relative to something like Adventures, for example). He is still a good interviewer, but his guests tend to either agree with his bias, or at least not disagree strongly. One unique thing about the host is that he looks at macro starting with energy and building up from that, which is different that what you get in a lot of other podcasts.
    Planet Money https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/planet-money/id290783428?mt=2 Very popular podcast, but I can't say much. The few episodes I listened to seemed like they were aimed at beginners so I don't keep up with it. If you are a beginner, this is probably a good place to start though.
    Radical Personal Finance https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/radical-personal-finance-financial-independence-early/id896153632?mt=2 As you can probably guess, this one is more about personal finance and less about investing. I really only listen to episodes that I think might have something of value for me. For example, I listened to the ones that covered student loans and learned a lot. Probably not the best if you're looking for something to improve your investing though.
    SuperInvestors https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/superinvestors-and-the-art-of-worldly-wisdom/id1242377947?mt=2 The host uses fundamentals, sentiment, technicals, and macro in his own investing, so guests vary. The episodes are released irregularly and the length varies a lot. Overall, he's an okay interviewer, but expect heavy macro and technical influence in his questions.
    The Big Question https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-big-question-podcast/id1093094670?mt=2 Seems as though this has been discontinued, but it was a great listen when it was active. Hard to describe because I haven't listened to it in a while, but lots of macro, lots of "news," tends to be global in nature rather than US-centric.
    The Disciplined Investor https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-disciplined-investor/id217999782?mt=2 Host talks to much about his own views. Better description wanted.
    The Indicator https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-indicator-from-planet-money/id1320118593?mt=2 From the guys that made Planet Money that focuses on explaining different indicators like jobs numbers, yield curve, etc. Short episodes with little to know opinion. It's just "here's the indicator we're talking about" and "here's what it means." If you're listening to a lot of finance podcasts, this is probably too beginner-level for you, but I keep it around because it's short enough that I'm not losing anything by listening.
    This Week In Startups https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/this-week-in-startups-audio/id315114957?mt=2 This is an okay podcast if you're interested in the startup world, but the host does toot his own horn a lot. His network is huge, his dealflow is amazing, and he made a ton of money, three things I learn in every episode. When he can stop talking, his guests are great at telling us about their respective startups and how they did what they did.
    Trend Following with Michael Covel https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/trend-following-with-michael-covel/id151217747?mt=2 The host brings on some good guests and you get a varied view of the different strategies out there, but my issue with this podcast is the host talks more than I'd like. If he wants to do a solo episode to tell us his thoughts, that's one thing, but he brings on a guest and sometimes talks over them to get his own views out there. Still a good listen if you're starved for more podcasts, but not high on my list of priorities. Guests vary, but sentiment and momentum are big.
    We Study Billionaires (The Investors Podcast) https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/we-study-billionaires-the-investors-podcast/id928933489?mt=2 One of the most popular investing podcasts. These guys read books written by investors, CEOs, life coaches, really anyone that has been succesful, and they summarize them in an episode with some commentary. They've started transitioning to more guest interviews, which I personally prefer. I can read books on my own. Probably one of the best value oriented podcasts. All of you value guys should feel right at home, but they do bring on some macro guys as well.
    Wealth Formula https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wealth-formula-podcast/id718416620?mt=2 Host talks to much about his own views. Better description wanted.
    Wealthtrack https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wealthtrack/id202795382?mt=2 I don't know anything about the host, but she has some great guests. Usually focused on fundamental investing, and has some "news" as well when it is pertinent. This one seems to be aimed at the buy-and-hold crowd, so most people on this sub may find it interesting.

    What would happen to P2P lending platforms in case of a financial crisis?

    Posted: 28 Jan 2019 05:04 AM PST

    Many are predicting a market crash or a financial crisis in the next few years. What do you think would happen to P2P Lending platforms in this case? The P2P markets are also very different (China vs. India vs. Europ vs. North America...) and they are differently regulated everywhere.

    Would it mirror what would was happening with banks in the last crisis?

    I am mostly interested in the Euro market but opinions on others are also welcome.

    Taking up more risk in hopes of higher returns? (leveraged funds vs. emerging markets, etc.)

    Posted: 28 Jan 2019 06:50 PM PST

    I've got a good 40+ years before my retirement. I know that a slow and steady approach, over time, is a good way to go. Even so, I'm interested in taking on more risk. At the moment I don't have that much money, but I want to maybe get some pointers or advice so I can start figuring out what I will do in the coming months and years as I get part time jobs and internships.

    Basically, if I want to take on more risk, is it foolish to assume I can beat the markets by perhaps a small margin on average? I'm talking about maybe up to a 15% annual return as opposed to an expected 8 or 9% return if I were to follow the markets. Some things I've heard about include emerging markets, or leveraged funds. Honestly leveraged funds sound a bit iffy to me. And then on the extreme end there is options trading and stuff like that which I doubt is a good idea for me. What are your thoughts? in the long term, even a 2 or 3% difference in returns becomes a huge amount. My reasoning is that with slightly higher returns, I may be able to start enjoying the returns of my portfolio earlier than if I had invested more conservatively.

    Daily advice thread. All questions about your personal situation should be asked here

    Posted: 29 Jan 2019 04:04 AM PST

    If your question is "I have $10,000, what do I do?" or anything similar. There is no single answer to this question, but we will also need A LOT MORE information if we are to give some sort of answer

    • How old are you?
    • Are you employed/making income? How much?
    • What are your objectives with this money? (buy a house? Retirement savings?)
    • What is your risk tolerance? (Do you mind risking it at blackjack or do you need to know its 100% safe?)
    • What are you current holdings? (Do you already have exposure to specific funds and sectors?)
    • Any other assets? House paid off? Cars? Expensive girlfriend? (not really an asset)
    • What is your time horizon? Do you need this money next month? Next 20yrs?
    • Any big debts?
    • Any other relevant financial information will be useful to give you a proper answer.

    Be aware that these answers are just opinions of Redditors and should be used as a starting point for your research. You should strongly consider seeing a registered financial rep before making any financial decisions!

    Are cannabis companies in a bubble again?

    Posted: 28 Jan 2019 01:31 PM PST

    The general consensus before December / January was the cannabis sector was in a bubble. During that time it "popped", with many mid-caps sinking 50%+.

    Recently however many have bounced back, and some like CRON achieving new ATHs. This is among earnings from many companies such as ACB and OGI which included a few weeks of recreational sales in Canada.

    So my question is: is it a bubble again? Can that even happen, since people must be well aware?

    Or is it that it's really hard to determine the value and PE of the undiscovered sector, as well as the tangential arguments around weed being a commodity / fungible and mixing in the CBD / beverage markets as well?

    Question on Covered Calls

    Posted: 28 Jan 2019 07:05 PM PST

    What downside is there to selling covered OTM calls on the price you believe reflects the intrinsic value of a company?

    From my understanding, the only downsides to covered calls are the underlying security going above the strike price, or being forced to hold an asset that goes to 0. However, if you sell the call with a strike price of he intrinsic value is, isn't that mitigating the former risk because you believe that over that price the asset is overvalued?

    Sorry if I am misunderstanding the risks and thank you in advance for the responses>

    Should I stop picking stocks and only pick ETFs?

    Posted: 28 Jan 2019 11:28 AM PST

    I developed my own investing strategy over the last 2 years. Every pay check I invest $1000 into the market. I spend some time finding a long term stock I like at a price I like.

    Before I end up doing this for too long I would like to reevaluate my strategy. I've read it is smartest to just invest in large ETFs. I usually pick single stocks or a small index. It seems I'm doing okay as of now, I'm averaging a stock price return of 8.01% and average another 2.2% in dividend returns. This seems like a decent return. However as I said I don't want to get in too deep if this is a dumb strategy. What should I do? I have about 30, $1000 chuck investments.
