    Stock picking strategy (let me know what you think)

    Posted: 03 Mar 2019 09:24 AM PST

    Hi everyone. Here's some strategies I've had success with in picking stocks. I wish someone would have posted this for me when I got started. Let me know what you think.

    PEG < 1

    Make sure PE and Forward PE look good.

    Price/book is low relative to similar companies. By choosing a low priced stock, if gives you a higher margin for error.

    Only buy stocks in the USA, Western Europe, Japan, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and Singapore. A lot of countries out there do not have the same accounting regulations we do. China is an example of this.

    Buy companies with lower debt than others in the same industry. A good reference for this is the current ratio. This ratio shows the amount of short term assets divided by the amount of short term debt. Look through previous years and if the current ratio is getting better every year, that is a good sign. Also if long term debt/equity has been shrinking over the years, that is also a very good sign.

    Growing revenue or sales is a must. Also making sure a company isn't super dependent on sales in one division or product. It's good to have multiple products doing well.

    If COGS of a percentage of revenue is rising then it could be a bad sign. This would mean there is less demand or prices are going up for supplies.

    If gross profit margin is steady for years, that's a good sign.

    High ROE compared to industry and increasing ROE is a good sign.

    Insider buying is always good a bonus.

    If the short float percent is high then you could benefit from a short squeeze. You just have to make sure that there isn't a super terrible reason behind the company having a lot of short interest.

    Also, ask yourself some basic questions like; Can this company raise prices and still keep demand? Can the company sell more that what is currently selling? Can the company increase its profit margins?

    These are all important questions when considering a company to buy. You want to make sure this is a company that you plan on holding for a long time.

    What is a company product or service that you currently use and love that most Americans don't currently use that may gain widespread adoption in several years?

    Posted: 03 Mar 2019 11:25 AM PST

    Back in the day, I bought and held both Amazon and Netflix (though not as long as I should have) because they were so much better than alternatives that it was obvious these companies would grow. But, I completely missed a huge number of tech fads, from fitbits to tinder, because I never used them myself.

    What is a product sold by a smaller publicly traded company that most people don't currently own, that most people will own in the future? Speculation is fine, but be upfront if you own the stock.

    Thoughts on LYB

    Posted: 03 Mar 2019 01:33 PM PST

    lyondellbasell makes multiple chemicals used in many food and drinks, as well as vaporizer e-juice and stuff. They also refine crude oil and make gasoline and stuff, and would benefit from rising oil prices.

    Invested in Baidu? Why/why not?

    Posted: 03 Mar 2019 11:30 AM PST

    Love the long-term growth potential here, steady EPS growth, seems to have a relatively innovative company culture especially for a Chinese company. Also they have two U.S. offices, which makes me see them as very interested in acquiring good talent - important in search optimization which is such a complex subject.

    Thoughts on the company? Short-term/long-term?

    If you would choose between Editas or Celgene

    Posted: 03 Mar 2019 02:35 PM PST

    which one would you choose and why?

    Celgene seeems a good company in the bio-pharmaceutical lottery ticket, Editas even if it has a different purpose, is it a riskier bet?

    Breaking Down The Different Type of Stock Investors

    Posted: 03 Mar 2019 01:48 PM PST

    As I'm sitting here on this Sunday smoking an joint, I found myself wondering how does the overall stock investors breakdown. In other words, how much do day traders take up compared to the overall investors of the stock market. How about swing traders? Long term holders?

    This also relates to the statistic that 90% of traders fail while 10% succeed.

    Now, personally, I think it's about 10% day traders (not holding a stock for more than a day), 30% swing trading (holding a stock for less than a year) and 60% long term holders (hold longer than a year).

    What do you guys think?

    dividend questions

    Posted: 03 Mar 2019 01:39 PM PST

    https://www.riotinto.com/investors/dividends-7988.aspx

    so from that. it seems...

    1.80 dividend is coming

    its paid on april 14

    for shareholders of record march 8. and "ex div" is feb 7

    does this mean... if you purchased the shares after feb 7, but before march 8, you will get the dividend?

    also. if you own the shares from january to march 8, then sell the shares on march 15, do you get the dividend?

    also. it says "final dividend" ... does this mean rio said they are stopping its dividend after this one?

    So much so there is a Support/Resistance script that draws graphs for you. This is great because it cuts down on the guess work or the monotonous manual work.

    Invested in $USAT. Should I sell?

    Posted: 03 Mar 2019 12:47 PM PST

    I invested in $USAT at $3.70 per share after they announced that their auditor had reassigned. I initially thought it was a market overreaction, however as far as I know, they still have not managed to hire another auditor. They currently sit at $3.95, and I'm wondering if anyone has an opinion if I should sell now while I'm in the green or wait to see if they can resolve the issues and hope for more profit. The only thing that is preventing me from selling is the partnership they announced and the increases in stakes made by the big money. Any advice is appreciated.

    Knowing what you know now, what advice would you give yourself when you first began buying/selling stock

    Posted: 03 Mar 2019 09:40 AM PST

    I'm recovering from financial devastation. I went through a horrific divorce, live paycheck to paycheck and have zero savings. I'm trying to turn this around for my future. If I had $20 a week to commit to something, what would you recommend?

    Reliable High Dividend Stocks with Low Betas - Minimum 7% Dividend

    Posted: 02 Mar 2019 02:48 PM PST

    High dividend stocks are often referred to as "sucker yields". Sometimes, a high yield can be a sucker yield. However there are quite a few reliable high dividend stocks and funds that are worth buying and holding for many years. I have allocated 15% of my portfolio to these high dividend payers and do not regret 90% of my buys.

    My favorite stock in this group is a closed end fund managed by Guggenheim. GOF is the fund. It typically pays a 10% dividend and has been a steady performer for many years, but it doesn't get hardly any attention from the internet. So that is why I mentioned it.

    What other stocks are reliable high dividend payers with low betas?

    Difference between Public and Private Bonds - Seminar experience

    Posted: 03 Mar 2019 03:53 AM PST

    Good afternoon everyone,

    I'm a beginner in investing, and yesterday had the chance to attend a seminar about it. Some of the companies were looking to raise a capital, and offered us to buy Bonds with 3-5year contract and FIXED return between 35-45%. One of the companies was about digital currencies mining and offered 100% on the value in different digital currencies + 24% interest for 3 years. I wonder what is the difference between Private and Public bonds, as those offers I heard yesterday they sound absolutely unreal and I have the feeling that there is a catch with them. Got introduced to 4 companies and all of them had similar interest rates and offered a great deals (at least on my point of view), but as I said I'm just a beginner.

    Would love to hear from you what experience you got from those seminars.

    Thanks.

    GSBD

    Posted: 02 Mar 2019 10:38 PM PST

    GSBD seems like a nice dividend stock under the Goldman Sachs name.

    Haven't found a lot of buy or sell recommendations for it. At least where I do my research.

    My goal is aggressive performance over 10-20 years. Don't mind some down years but don't want them to go to zero due to over-leverage or bad bets.

    I am long a little (< 0.05%) but wondering if I should increase my position.

    Thoughts?

    Posted: 02 Mar 2019 11:44 PM PST

    I have always been into the idea of trying my hand at the stock market. I know I could trudge my way through it and learn gradually(likely to the detriment of my bank account), but i'm here for any and all advice that might help me to have a better chance at success. Thanks in advance!

    Is tradespoon worth it?

    Posted: 02 Mar 2019 09:33 PM PST

    I'm using their 7 day free trial and it seems interesting, but their yearly subscription fee is no joke. I'm curious if anybody has used it and has seen a positive outcome? Is a subscription worth it?
