    Lazy Portfolio Returns Feb 2019

    Posted: 01 Mar 2019 01:27 PM PST

    I have been tracking the returns for the Vanguard lazy portfolio returns for Aggressive (90% Stock / 10% Bond), Balanced (60% Stock / 40% Bond), and Conservative (30% Stock / 70% Bond). I think everyone should pay attention to these and use them as their portfolio benchmarks, especially for those that pick their own stocks. Here are the year to date returns so far for 2019:

    Aggressive: 10.2%

    Balanced: 7.0%

    Conservative: 3.9%

    Market Returns:

    S&P 500: 11.4%

    Russell 2000: 17.1%

    US Aggregate Bond: 0.8%

    MSCI Emerging Markets: 8.4%

    Qualcomm?

    Posted: 01 Mar 2019 11:21 PM PST

    Qualcomm, I believe is gonna be fantastic in the next 2 years. They already have a Gen2 5G Chip ready to ship to phone manufacturers while their two biggest competitors are either behind or being outlawed. Intel hasn't even created a Gen1 Chip and won't have the chips ready until after 2020. Huawei is caught doing illegal shit even though they have a really good chip. Although Qualcomm cut ties with Apple, they still got Samsung to supply the chips too which is of course a powerhouse when it comes to phones. It's crazy to think that Qualcomm is already on their Gen2 chip while Intel hasn't even started. By the time intel comes out with their own thing, who knows where Qualcomm will be? They're relatively cheap right now after the whole Apple fiasco so I think right now is a great time to get into Qualcomm.

    33% 3x leveraged SP500 vs 100% SP500

    Posted: 01 Mar 2019 06:53 PM PST

    Hi guys. Based on how leveraged ETFs work, would holding a 3x leveraged SP500 fund such as UPRO as 33% of a portfolio plus 67% cash, rebalanced daily (assuming no commissions), equal or very nearly equal the returns of a portfolio of 100% SP500?

    After doing quite a bit of research this seems to be true, but I'd like further confirmation. Thanks!

    Individual REIT or REIT etf?

    Posted: 01 Mar 2019 10:10 PM PST

    Hello friends,

    I bought a REIT sometime mid-January this year, unaware of the various REIT etfs out there that I probably should have bought instead. Luckily, the REIT I bought into appreciated since January, so I wouldn't be realizing a loss if I sold my position. The REIT I'm currently invested in is paying a dividend next month, and the ex-date is in less than a week. My question is, should I sell the individual REIT (after the ex-date), realize the gain (and pay the short-term capital gains tax), and buy into a more diverse REIT etf instead? Or would it be wiser to just stay put and hold onto the individual REIT?

    Some notes...

    The annual dividend yields for both the individual REIT (LADR) and the etf I'm looking into (SRET) are essentially the same

    The etf has a 0.55% expense ratio, no load fees

    I'm currently a student (18 y/o) and I expect fall into the lowest income tax bracket for a while

    Thank you for reading and your advice

    Housers (etc) vs Property Investment Funds

    Posted: 02 Mar 2019 03:21 AM PST

    I've been thinking about creating an account in Housers (or something similar) in order to diversify my investments but I have a question...

    What's the difference between a service like housers and property investment funds?

    Here's how I understand it:

    Housers- you get paid interest on what you loan;

    PIF - you receive your share of payments from tenants.

    Do I understand the payment difference correctly? Which investment do you think is better?

    Cook Says Apple Is ‘Rolling the Dice’ on Future Products

    Posted: 01 Mar 2019 11:56 AM PST

    CEO talks up iPhone, iPad sales, chip efforts to shareholders Company bought 18 companies last year and in market for more

    He said eventually the goal is to lower the price on the $1,200 MacBook Air laptop with a higher-resolution screen and said there's a "long, great roadmap of fantastic" products related to the Apple Watch and AirPods. He indicated that more health features would come to the smartwatch.

    Obviously not disclosing much we don't know, but it's interesting that they're openly forecasting dropping the new MBAs price as a targeted plan. Acquired 18 companies and planning a long lineup for Airpods and Watch.

    KHC is trading below book value.. Is it a buy? If not, what price?

    Posted: 01 Mar 2019 12:07 PM PST

    Right now, KHC is trading below book value. It's book value is $42+, whereas it's trading at $32. Based on this, isn't it a clear buy? Keep in mind Buffet has a huge stake in this.. Meaning he will do everything he can to rescue KHC stock price. If KHC isn't a buy now, at what price would you buy in at?

    What is this investing acronym?

    Posted: 01 Mar 2019 06:48 PM PST

    I was listening to a presentation by Richard Koch and he mentioned with regards to equity, something I presume to be an acronym, which sounded like "CANESIT" pronounced with a short e (e.g. at the start of "e"ntertainment).

    It was mentioned in passing so wasn't explained, with the sort of pretext of "of course, obviously there's 'canesit' to consider", which makes me think it's a pretty common thing.

    I tried googling for variations on this but came up with nothing. Any ideas?

    BND Trendline Warns of Future Downside

    Posted: 01 Mar 2019 11:11 PM PST

    Notice how the two large corrections last year followed a bond market selloff leading to a rapid rise in rates? January, 10yr yield hits 2.75% or so while stocks hit record highs back to back, then in February we get two -800 days on the DOW in a row. October, 10yr yield hits 3.25% and the DOW drops over 1200 points in a day, bringing us back into volatility land (yay). We need to keep our eyes on this, the bond market is in danger territory right above the 2008 level when it collapsed and rates spiked. The market seems to have told us that the economy cannot hold under a 10yr yield of 3.25% for very long - keep your eyes on bond yields and stay safe out there.

    Closed end fund yields

    Posted: 01 Mar 2019 10:48 PM PST

    How do closed end funds sustain such high yields? Google didn't really give me any good answers. I looked at the prospectuses and holdings of some of these funds (GGL, DSL, ECC) and it seems they hold a bunch of loans, bonds, and derivatives. Could someone explain how these closed end funds are able to offer such high yields?

    Moreover, there are some ETNs like CEFL and MORL that offer 20%+ yields. I can't seem to find the holdings of these ETNs. What exactly are they holding and where are they getting the cash to sustain the yield?

    Thoughts on Lyft IPO announcement?

    Posted: 01 Mar 2019 08:36 AM PST

    Estimated between $20-$25 billion.

    Anecdotally, my peers and I have all moved away from Uber to Lyft for their cheaper fares, higher wages to drivers and their partnership with delta skymiles.

    I'll be investing without a doubt, maybe not during the IPO because those tend to fluctuate heavily - what are your thoughts?

    Question regarding cash flow

    Posted: 01 Mar 2019 09:40 AM PST

    I was watching an interview on value investing, and during the interview he stated that they're short on Ford because they don't generate any cash and they have upcoming large capital expenditures (link here).

    I went to Ford's financial statement (link here) and it says that they're generating an adjusted cash flow from operations of 3.9b (for year 2017). From my understanding, a companies ability to generate cash is directly tied to their CFO? I'm looking for someone to explain what he meant by saying this as the guy is obviously 10,000 times more knowledgeable than me.
