| You can now import stock/etf/mutual fund data into Excel. Posted: 06 Feb 2019 09:45 PM PST Microsoft recently released an update to Excel for Office 365 that allows you to import stock data. See how here. They have data from a bunch of different exchanges around the world. The data includes things like last trade time, price, open, close, 52 week high/low. Also they have some mutual fund specific things like the year it started, expense ratio, total assets. I'm pretty sure you need Microsoft Excel for Office 365, not any old versions. You can see your version by going to File->Account. If you have Excel for Office 365, but don't see the feature, try File->Account->Update Options->Update Now to force an update. [link] [comments]  |

| On this episode of “I’m an idiot”: I accidentally clicked ‘buy’ instead of ‘sell’ Posted: 06 Feb 2019 03:53 PM PST Basically I bought a whole bunch of call options at $.01 and it immediately jumped to $.02, I hastily fumbled my fingers and clicked "buy" and fulfilled another order instead of selling for a clean 100% profit. Of course it went back to $.01 by the time I realized what happened and now I'm in the red, sitting on a bunch of stagnant $.01 options. It got me thinking, who else has any stories about losing money on an investment because of a stupid mistake? [link] [comments]  |

| The First Marijuana Hearing Of The New Congress Has Been Scheduled - Positive outlook. Posted: 07 Feb 2019 04:56 AM PST Running from marijuana investments may be something you regret if you are already invested. Congressional Democrats are already moving ahead with plans to consider broad changes to federal marijuana laws in 2019. Whereas the Republican-controlled House for the past several years had blocked votes on most cannabis-related measures, the chamber's new Democratic majority on Wednesday announced it has scheduled a hearing for next week to examine the difficulties that marijuana businesses face in opening and maintaining bank accounts. Titled, "Challenges and Solutions: Access to Banking Services for Cannabis-Related Businesses," the hearing will take place on February 13 before a subcommittee of the House Financial Services Committee. Although a growing number of states are moving to legalize marijuana for medical or recreational use, cannabis remains federally prohibited. As a result, and despite a 2014 guidance memo released on the topic by the Obama administration aimed at clearing up the issue, many financial services providers remain reluctant to work with the industry out of fear of violating money laundering or drug laws. "When we introduced this bill six years ago, we warned that forcing these businesses to deal in cash was threatening public safety. No hearing was given," Rep. Denny Heck (D-WA) said in an email, referring to marijuana banking legislation he and Rep. Ed Perlmutter (D-CO) have filed for the past several Congresses. He lamented that Republican leadership didn't schedule a hearing on the proposal even after a security guard at a Colorado dispensary was killed during a robbery. "Chairwoman Waters has made it one of her first priorities to address this urgent and overdue issue, demonstrating that she understands the threat to public safety and the need for Congress to act," Heck said of the committee's new leader. "We have a bipartisan proposal to allow well-regulated marijuana businesses to handle their money in a way that is safe and effective for law enforcement to track. I am eager to get to the work of refining it and passing it into law." That a hearing on the issue was in the works was first noted earlier this week by Politico, and Marijuana Moment reported that the full committee is also actively planning to vote on a marijuana banking bill in the coming months. The newly scheduled marijuana hearing is a signal that Democrats intend to move cannabis legislation this year, and is likely to be the first in a series of committee-level actions across the House on the issue. "The upcoming hearing presents a real opportunity for the Democratic Party to assert their leadership by finally beginning the conversation on how we end the failed policy of marijuana criminalization," Justin Strekal, political director for NORML, said. While two limited medical cannabis research bills were able to advance out of House committees last year, they never made it to the floor for votes. Meanwhile, Republican leaders consistently prevented members from offering marijuana-related amendments—including ones on banking issues—to larger legislation. In contrast, Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) suggested in a memo to party leaders late last year that they pursue a step-by-step approach to legalize marijuana in 2019. His plan recommends that Financial Services and other committees first begin holding hearings on incremental reforms like banking access, research expansion and medical cannabis for military veterans before passing bills on those issues as part of a lead up to ultimately approving broader legislation to formally end federal marijuana prohibition by the end of the year. A House bill to protect banks from being punished for working with state-legal marijuana businesses that Heck and Perlmutter introduced garnered 95 cosponsors in the last Congress, and 20 senators signed onto a companion bill, but neither were given hearings or brought up for votes. "Depriving state-legal cannabis businesses of basic banking services and forcing them to operate entirely in cash presents a significant safety risk, not just to those businesses and their employees, but to the public," Don Murphy, director of federal policies for the Marijuana Policy Project, said in an email. "Support for addressing the cannabis banking problem is strong and bipartisan, and it appears Congress may be ready to adopt a real, commonsense solution. Members concerned about public safety should be jumping at the chance to express their support for this legislation." "This hearing is historic for cannabis policy reform advocates, business owners and the banking sector, and could directly lead to the first in what is hopefully a series of positive changes in the 2019 legislative cycle," Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, for example, suggested in testimony before a House committee early last year that he supports letting marijuana businesses store their profits in banks. "I assure you that we don't want bags of cash," he said. "We do want to find a solution to make sure that businesses that have large access to cash have a way to get them into a depository institution for it to be safe." In a separate hearing Mnuchin revealed that addressing the issue is at the "top of the list" of his concerns. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said that the growing gap between state and federal marijuana laws "puts federally chartered banks in a very difficult situation… It would great if that could be clarified." And last month, Comptroller of the Currency Joseph Otting called on Congress to "act at the national level to legalize marijuana if they want those entities involved in that business to utilize the U.S. banking system." Meanwhile, although many major financial institutions are staying away from the cannabis industry, federal data does show that an inceasing number of banks are beginning to work with marijuana growers, sellers, processors and related businesses. So in short - Don't sell out of fear just yet. [link] [comments]  |
| Do banks use spending trends from their customers in their valuations of companies? Posted: 06 Feb 2019 10:28 PM PST I was just thinking about this today, I have a Chase credit card that a majority of my purchases are on, there are millions of people who also use Chase credit/debit cards on their purchases. So I'm wondering is do JP Morgan's equity analysts have access to this info? I feel like if they do they'd be able to fairly accurately predict revenues in companies who's customers use credit cards (Netflix seems like the perfect example) [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 06 Feb 2019 08:11 PM PST May be a stupid question but since my Roth IRA money is already taxed. Do I need to do anything with that 1099 like my regular brokerage account? Or can I just leave that account alone and not claim/deduct anything? [link] [comments]  |
| Roth IRA short term defensive position Posted: 07 Feb 2019 05:19 AM PST With current market volatility and bullish run since late Dec, where is a good place to invest short term in a Roth IRA to eventually shift investments when the market dips? I'm currently just holding the money as cash in my account but was looking at gold or short term t-bills. Obviously I know it's impossible to time the market but I still like to try with my IRA contributions since I only contribute when I have extra cash (bonuses) and it's only 5-6K per year. I have other retirement accounts where I of course dollar cost average. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 06 Feb 2019 09:20 PM PST Hey folks, I'm still very new to investing, and got some tips when I started a year or two ago. I'm looking at some info online and I keep seeing VTSAX touted as an easy set it and forget it ETF to park money in... Is that a stronger fund than the VTSMX? I tried exchanging my funds into VTSAX on my vanguard app and it said the fund is closed to new investors... Yet people seem to be able to buy it still? I'm just quite confused about all this and don't really know where to start, or how to ask the right questions... So, I thought I'd give this sub a shot? Anything you could share would be great. Thanks for reading. [link] [comments]  |
| December Rout 2.0 starting now? Posted: 07 Feb 2019 04:47 AM PST My dad got out of the market before Thanksgiving. Hes telling me to get out now before the next leg down. Anyone else feel we are headed for the next leg down now? Economic data in Europe and China is poor. And the fed quicly changing course and becoming dovish is another indicator this is the last grasp of the 10 year bull market. I held through it all but many analyst say 2020 is going to be a recession so I want to get out before the herd follows. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 07 Feb 2019 04:57 AM PST Warren Buffett, billionaire investor and chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, believes stock buybacks can often be the best use of corporate cash. Democratic senators Chuck Schumer and Bernie Sanders unveiled a plan this week to limit companies' ability to issue buybacks. Berkshire has recently been increasing its buyback activity. Buffett's largest stock holding, Apple, has completed eight of the 10 largest quarterly buybacks ever. [link] [comments]  |
| Who could Apple Acquire? (Serious or Crazy) Posted: 06 Feb 2019 04:24 PM PST Hey everyone, who are some companies that Apple could purchase? There has been talk about Tesla or Netflix which I obviously doubt will ever happen, especially since Apple hasn't been a fan of huge acquisitions historically, with their largest being headphone maker Beats. So, what companies could we possibly see apple buy, even if it is extremely unlikely? [link] [comments]  |
| How does Q earnings affect stocks in general? (noob question) Posted: 07 Feb 2019 12:11 AM PST From what I get from market, daytraders wanna boost a price up before earning in order to get the max after earnings are published. DCAing traders probably will keep on buying after the price drops a bit. From my observations the tendency is that the price goes brake-even, namely, to the same level if the earnings are possitive. What you guys think the impact of quarterly earnings is on the stock market? [link] [comments]  |

| Preferred shares and the equity premium Posted: 06 Feb 2019 10:44 PM PST I've been reading a bit about equity premium. Some people have low estimates for the next 10 years of equity returns, for example Jack Bogle guessed 4-5% nominal. Some AA preferred shares are priced at a premium of 2.59% to 5 year federal bonds and reset every 5 years. This would suggest that the equity premium is at least 2.59% with a total return around 4.75%. Common shares have more risk and an uncertain return. There are lower credit rating companies with higher 6% yields. This would suggest the nominal equity returns are 5%+ Can this be directly related to the equity premium? How much do defaults and changing interest rates reduce expected returns? Thanks for reading. [link] [comments]  |
| Thoughts on SPY put credit spreads? Posted: 06 Feb 2019 10:28 PM PST So im an options trader, and I recently decided to get into spreads. I kinda like the idea of knowing how much money I will make before hand. Right now im making about a 40% return over the course of three days. Assuming the stock market doesnt crash and the short put doesnt get assigned and executed, is there any negatives or something like that to this? [link] [comments]  |
