    Reddit to raise $150M to $300M for Series D led by Tencent at a $2.7B pre-money valuation.

    Facebook raised $16B in its 2012 IPO. In 2017, they launched a $15B in share buybacks, plus an additional $9B in buybacks in 2018. Why did Facebook even go public in the first place?

    Note that in 2012, Facebook was free cash flow positive. Its cash flow from operating activities was more than covering the investments it was making in the business.

    Disney CEO Bob Iger said on the earnings call that the company continues investing in direct-to-customer businesses like ESPN+, a platform that reached 2 million subscribers as of quarter-end, double that from five months ago.

    Further revamp costs for ESPN+ and Disney+ are expected to reduce segment operating incomes by $200 million for fiscal 2019.

    EA shares fall sharply on earnings — CEO says 'we did not perform to our expectations'

    Posted: 05 Feb 2019 02:52 PM PST

    https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/05/ea-q3-2019-earnings.html

    Video game maker EA fell more than 14 percent after reporting its Q3 2019 earnings.

    The company misses on revenue, reporting $1.61 billion for the quarter vs. estimate of $1.75 billion according to Refinitiv.

    I bought ea last July and sold it last month, took a 40% loss, this company is really doing so bad, failing investors expectation every quarter.

    Even God Couldn't Beat Dollar Cost Averaging

    Posted: 05 Feb 2019 08:28 AM PST

    https://ofdollarsanddata.com/even-god-couldnt-beat-dollar-cost-averaging/

    tl;dr: buy the dip works in some very certain circumstances but by and large, DCA works better, 70% of the time, even spotting buy the dip omniscience.

    My point in all of this is that Buy the Dip, even with perfect information, typically underperforms DCA. So if you attempt to build up cash and buy at the next bottom, you will likely be worse off than if you had bought every month. Why? Because while you wait for the next dip, the market is likely to keep rising and leave you behind.

    What makes the Buy the Dip strategy even more problematic is that we have always assumed that you would know when you were at every bottom (you won't). I ran a variation of Buy the Dip where the strategy misses the bottom by 2 months, and guess what? Missing the bottom by just 2 months leads to underperforming DCA 97% of the time! So, even if you are somewhat decent at calling bottoms, you would still lose in the long run.

    dividends clarification

    Posted: 06 Feb 2019 01:40 AM PST

    Hi everyone, I'm new to investing so this might be a dumb question, but I've heard that companies issue dividends on a specific date. What's stopping investors from buying a lot of stock before the dividend date, getting the dividend, and then selling the stock?

    • 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)

    Interested to hear others views on this 100% equity portfolio

    Posted: 06 Feb 2019 03:24 AM PST

    Hi all I've read a few interesting articles lately https://awealthofcommonsense.com/2013/05/how-to-invest-100-of-your-portfolio-in-the-stock-market-2/ and https://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/13/your-money/how-much-of-your-nest-egg-to-put-into-stocks-all-of-it.html on why and how a 100% stocks portfolio could be implemented and volatility lessened. The jist of articles is that adding a few unperfectly correlated equity asset classes that have long term higher (EXPECTED!!) returns than bonds and rebalancing these each year back to their proportions lessens this volatility enables sell high buy low opportunities. This would also be with continued investment over long period of 30+ years. The portfolio I am considering which in my opinion is highly diverse is:

    35% global small caps index

    30% developed markets index

    35% emerging markets index

    I would be really interested to hear any critique of this portfolio and/or the points laid out in articles. Thanks

    100-year stock investment strategy (Generational wealth)

    Posted: 05 Feb 2019 08:19 AM PST

    Has anyone considered or thought of the idea of investing in a stock such, as an index fund (vtsax), and holding it for at least 100 years. I did a calculation and saw that if I invested 30k with a return of 6.5% for 100 years, it would come out to about 20 million. Obviously not everyone has 30k to just have sit for 100 years, but if you did, have you thought about how that money could impact your grandchildren or great grandchildren. Just a hypothetical question.

    Traditional index investing means buying VTI/BND or equivalent, but wouldn't VT/VTC provide better diversification and better yield with similar levels of risk?

    Posted: 05 Feb 2019 01:43 PM PST

    The US stock market has a long history, but VTI leaves half the world economy out. If you're going to buy the whole haystack, VT seems to be the endgame, no?

    On the bond side, the default rate on investment grade corporates is virtually indistinguishable from US treasuries, but with an extra 1% of yield on top, and both have extremely low beta. So I don't see any compelling reason to own treasuries over VTC.

    Thoughts?

    What are the next steps after having a great return on your own portfolio? Opening a fund?

    Posted: 06 Feb 2019 02:00 AM PST

    Hi guys,

    a friend of mine recently shared his performance with me, which I found quite impressive. He basically outperformed the S&P500 in the last 5 years in every year with quite a "usual" risk level. So my question - what would you advice him to do next? He is at the moment just doing that as a side job, but I think he has a good potential. Any recommendations? Thanks!

    What kind of careers are there for people who are interested in the analytical/research side of investing? Not a salesman!

    Posted: 05 Feb 2019 06:52 PM PST

    I really like doing the D.D. process when it comes to investing. I'm a member of one of only a handful of student run venture capital funds in the U.S. I'm also an analyst for my schools student managed $1.6 million dollar stock market portfolio. I am not a salesman which is what financial advisors are in my opinion, so I really don't want a career like that.

    What kinds of careers are there for something for this type of stuff?

    Wash Sale Question

    Posted: 05 Feb 2019 10:28 PM PST

    Hello investors!

    For wash sales, there's a 30 day period were you cannot buy that same share you sold for a loss. Does this mean 30 monthly days or 30 trading days?
