| Topics being removed - "Corporate News" vs. Investor News Posted: 21 Mar 2019 09:42 AM PDT tl;dr Not all corporate news is investment news. If you post a topic the onus is on you to guide the discussion towards investing. If the moderators feel that a topic lacks relevance (which is more clearly defined below) then it might be removed. Off-topic top-level comments have similar standards applied to them. It is easier for us to act on a policy when we communicate it clearly. So, I want to clarify one of our rules, and then bring forward how we decide to remove topics under this rule.
The issue is that we attract any sort of news article, regardless of relevance. A lot of these topics get removed, and sometimes they are even upvoted topics, but the comments are littered with off-topic discussion. This is frustrating because in many cases the article COULD have been relevant information to investors, but unfortunately none of the relevant information is being commented on or brought up in the body of the post.
This means that the onus is on you as the person posting the topic to guide the discussion. As moderators all we can do is remove offending comments, but we can't incite relevant discussion in every topic. Tell us, why is this political news impactful? Seek out an article that discusses market impacts rather than a generic article. If you want to post corporate news then find an article that includes the impact on the investment. Copy that information into the body of your post. Include price history. Add other pertinent links or details for the corporate. If you include no relevant investing information then don't be surprised if the topic is completely derailed from discussing investing. If you are posting a topic you need to invite people to talk about investing by using an article, or including information, that is pertinent to investors. As moderators, we have a few policies that we use to guide ourselves. This is a broad rule that requires some interpretation, but here we go:

| Financial Term of the Week: Assets and Liabilities Posted: 21 Mar 2019 07:04 AM PDT Why am I doing this?Most of us are probably active on this subreddit, because they want to increase their financial education in some way or the other. So do I! I want to improve my financial education by learning at least one new financial term every week. For me the best way to learn about a new topic is through these steps: researching, explaining and discussing. I'll explain a financial term and give some of my own thoughts about it. You may have a different opinion on the definition I chose or think about that topic in another way. And that's where I hope, the discussion kicks in. But now.. Let's start with this weeks financial terms: Assets and LiabilitiesWhat is an asset?Investopedia defines assets as 'resources with economic value that an individual, corporation or country owns or controls with the expectation that it will provide a future benefit.' In other words: An asset can be anything that generates a positive cashflow by reducing expenses or improving sales. What is a liability?Liabilities are obligations (often between two parties) that arise during the course of business. In general these obligations are not yet completed or paid for. ExamplesSome examples for assets:
Some examples for liabilities:
What do you think…Houses and cars are often mentioned as examples for assets.. and of course they can be if you e.g. rent them out.. But when looking at your personal financial statement / balance sheet they often become liabilities instead of assets. I really like the way Robert T. Kiyosaki explains assets and liabilities. In his words assets are things that put money into your pocket while liabilities pull money out of your pocket. When you e.g. look at real estate, it can be either an asset or a liability depending on whether it brings or loses money for you. What do you think about this way of defining assets and liabilities? Is there anything crucial missing with Kiyosakis definition or do you think it covers all important aspects of these terms (in a really simple way)? Feel free to ask questions, comment on my thoughts and give your honest feedback. If you are interested in learning and discussing more financial terms together, let me know. Finally.. thank you for taking your time, reading this and sharing your thoughts with us! Links: Financial term of last week: Profit Next financial term: to be done [link] [comments]  |

| SNAP - Chase the pump or sell like the insiders? (46M in stock sold by execs this month) Posted: 21 Mar 2019 04:32 PM PDT What do you guys think about the 111% pump in SNAP the last 3 months? All I see are the insider sells of $46M in March and think that they lied about the DAU numbers. They also touted an android app but when you look at the google store, the updates have rolled out 3 times since the ER and Evan's summit (and 4M share sell) Each of the updates are worse than the last and I believe Android will never actually work for SNAP. Seems the insiders are still committing fraud like they did in the IPO but the stock just keeps going up? Should I chase it or just wait for it to top out and crash back to $5 before going long?

| DoubleLine Capital CEO Jeffrey Gundlach: “still in a bear market” Posted: 21 Mar 2019 09:44 PM PDT Wapner: Were you surprised by Fed's dovish double-down on Wednesday? Gundlach: I think you have to be. I predicted they would go from two hikes this year to 0.5, and everyone told me there was no way they would downgrade it that far. But they went even further! And what the heck is that "1 hike in 2020" thing about? It seems almost desperate. Fed has gone from "we got this" to "we'll get back to you". Not reassuring. Wapner: Do you still think we're in a bear market or has the Fed's pivot (and double-down) changed the game? Gundlach – Yes to bear market. In 2007 the Fed went from "biased to tighten" to an "emergency ease" in just a few weeks. The S&P celebrated with a push to essentially a double top over the ensuing several weeks. This pivot from December's hawkishness seems metaphorical to that period. Fed says oil down is part of their motivation. Oil is up substantially from the December meeting. Why won't they give a reason for this that is at least factually correct? Say Trump demanded it. Say you are worried about Europe, or China, or the yield curve, or retail sales, or GDP now. But stop with the gaslighting. [link] [comments]  |
| Stock transfer into Robinhood leads to inaccurate 1099 with zero cost basis Posted: 21 Mar 2019 05:45 AM PDT Edit: Judging from the responses, brokerages don't always keep track of when you purchased stock and how much you purchased it for. The solution is to just contact your old brokerage for the paperwork, and put in the accurate cost basis on the tax forms yourself. Hopefully this message gets across, and calms down other people who panicked like I did. ... This past July, I had recently quit a job and decided that I wanted to transfer all of my collected RSUs into Robinhood. I ended up selling them shortly after. Rather than combine the data of my previous stocks and these, it just showed a huge spike in my graph. As if I had acquired these stocks out of nowhere. That felt a little concerning. I just started doing my taxes, and I noticed that the 1099 has no cost basis. As if I literally acquired these stocks out of nowhere, at $0, rather than transferred them in from another account. Also, the 1099 claimed that I acquired these stocks entirely at once in July of 2018 (when I transferred it in), when I actually acquired the stocks at different times since 2017 on my previous account. All of this resulted in my net gains being $25,000 short term, rather $10,000 somewhat long term. Now I'm getting taxed thousands more than I should be, and I need help. I sent out an email about the bug, and now I'll have to patiently wait. [link] [comments]  |

| What woulda recession look like in the social media generation? Posted: 21 Mar 2019 07:03 AM PDT When I hop on Instagram, Snapchat, or Facebook, I am bombarded with friends and acquaintances who post about spending in excess (coffee shops, overpriced fitness gear, expensive cars, luxury apartments, always happy never financially distressed) a lot of these people I know personally. I know they live paycheck to paycheck and are probably buying some of those things in credit. I get that there was social media in the 2008 recession. But it was nowhere near as popular and the news feed concept wasn't as it is today. I want to ask, what do you think a recession would look like in a social media generation? Would it cause people to post consumption less? No more "hey look at how awesome my life is" posts? Will social media as a platform show to the world who is skinny dipping in this 10 year bull economy? [link] [comments]  |
| My last thoughts on Motley Fool Posted: 21 Mar 2019 10:27 AM PDT Edit: I am pleased to say that a Customer Service Rep responded quickly (within an hour) and my severance should go without a hitch. I'm glad to see some of the suggestions people have been making in the comments, and will gladly focus my attention on those sites and resources. Howdy, I lurk in investment subreddits and rarely (if ever) post; I'm relatively new to investing, and have been trying to soak up what I can between part time classes and full time work, whether that's a stock worth buying, or an opinion on roboinvestors, or how to efficiently lose money (thanks r/wallstreetbets). A while back I bought into Motley Fool's services, I'd heard good things and figured it was worth a shot. That was somewhere between 4-6 months ago. I was completely disappointed, but I stuck it out; even considered writing a breakdown of the issues I had with the service, but Reddit seems to have their practices well documented. I decided to end my relationship with the Motley Fool, I was frustrated with how they do business, I was tired of the ads and "invitations" - and ultimately I feel there are better things I could do with the money. The straw that broke the camel's back though? You can't unsubscribe from their service through the website - you have to send an email or call them, and then have to wait one or two business days for a reply. So I wrote them a request that expressed my thoughts as clearly as my frustrated fingers could manage. I'd like to share with you all: "Enough, enough of your endless subscriptions costing $4,000 dollars. No more, I find no value in this. I wanted stock tips, and the rough percentage of emails you've sent me has been about 10% stock, 90% invitations to give you roughly $50,000.99 (collectively) in subscriptions to the next big thing. Dudes, I paid you for info and instead I feel like I've paid you for the privilege of you asking me for more money. If I was balling out of control as much as you seem to think I am do you think I would have paid $100 to buy in to your supposed extensive research? Honestly how many people are actually subscribing to the "NEXT BIG THING OH WOW TECH SOIL" that you can afford the freaks who type out novelettes? Novelettes that ultimately end with "... only costs the down payment on a new Lexus!" to boot. The way I see it we have two options here: Option 1 - stop sending me "invitations" that I, as a slightly-past-entry-level Corporate employee without a college degree cannot reasonably afford (seriously, $4000? Dudes I barely scrape up to $40k a year if I bust my ass and put in tons of overtime), and start sending me the information I paid you for. Option 2 - end my service, delete my email from your 'sucker list' and do not, under any circumstances, charge my card again. Thank you, and have an excellent day." I doubt the people on their end who read it will care, they already have my money. If there's anything you can take away from my experience: skip the Fool, they're vampires of the highest order.

| 19 years old and 22k in stocks. Posted: 22 Mar 2019 01:43 AM PDT Currently, I have around 22 thousand dollars in stocks, but the thing is I only own 3 stocks, and that's Amazon, Microsoft and an Investment company called Investor B. Is this diversified enough or am I young enough to go balls to the walls with these stocks? No loans, no car loans, no student debt. [link] [comments]  |

| Transfer out fees per holding on trading platforms Posted: 21 Mar 2019 04:47 PM PDT Do transfer out fees per holding only occur if you switch platform and want to keep your current portfolio. Or will they also occur if you sell or your shares in a holding and transfer out the money into a bank account? If you wanted to switch platform could you get around the fees by selling your shares and then buying them again on a new platform? [link] [comments]  |
| Does anybody on this sub use Motif Investing? Posted: 21 Mar 2019 01:54 PM PDT I'm just curious if anyone on this sub uses Motif investing. And if so, what do you think about it?

| BMO Harris - Premier Services high interest rate? Posted: 21 Mar 2019 03:01 PM PDT A family member told me she's moving almost all her money to BMO under their Premier Services umbrella (1% management fee - ughhh). She was talked into this by someone local to her and I don't think I can talk her out of it (even though she has to sell everything in her brokerage account to move it - it's a lot more than $100k). She has gobs of money from being a high earner but has next to zero financial literacy. She said she's able to get a money market account that pays over 5% if it maintains a balance of $100k. I can't find anything on the internet that supports this. Hell, I'd move $200k there tomorrow if it was true. Anyone have any insight or experience with them? I'm thinking she misunderstood something and maybe ended up in an annuity of some kind?? [link] [comments]  |

Both platforms are free for me right now. So my m1 would move to about $2800. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2019 09:53 PM PDT I am currently invested in 10 company stocks as well as a 2060 Aggressive Target Date Fund and soon going to be switching to all index funds. My question is what index funds best complement the Target Date Fund by diversifying more without overlapping? Below is what is in the Target Date Fund.
