    Zillow’s House Flipping Averages An Abysmal 0.6% Per Flip

    Posted: 25 Mar 2019 07:46 AM PDT

    You have to wonder why a company would take on such an unprofitable endeavor. If the housing market decides to turn again how big are their potential losses? What's the best case scenario for this company long term?

    Posted: 25 Mar 2019 10:19 PM PDT

    • Samsung Electronics said Tuesday morning it expects first quarter earnings to come below market expectations due to weakness in its display and memory businesses.
    • In a regulatory filing, the world's largest smartphone maker said it predicted a bigger-than-expected price decline for major memory products, which are used in mobile handsets and enterprise servers, due to seasonal weakness in demand.
    • Samsung shares slid 0.88 percent in morning trade, falling behind the broader Kospi index which was in positive territory on Tuesday.

    Volatility has been volatile lately

    Posted: 26 Mar 2019 03:26 AM PDT

    Anyone else notice this? Vol ETNs are moving in double digit moves back and forth pretty frequent lately. Last time I saw this was last summer before the selloff. I don't trust this gap and go action at $280 very much anymore. Opinions?

    Does buying a 3-month T-Bill today ensure a 2%+ guaranteed return in 3 months?

    Posted: 26 Mar 2019 02:44 AM PDT

    I am new to bonds and came across the 3-Month T-Bills after reading about the inverted yield curve between 10-Year and 3-Month T-Bill.

    The 3-Month T-Bill is currently giving a yield of 2.4%, does it mean if i bought a $1000 worth of T-Bill today, after 3 months I would get 2.4% return ($1024) at the end of 3 months? Or I would get (2.4%/(12)) * 3 ~ 0.6% return so $1006?

    UBS Chief Investment Office: time to lock in some profits

    Posted: 25 Mar 2019 12:33 PM PDT

    https://www.ubs.com/global/en/wealth-management/chief-investment-office/our-research/house-view/deeper-dive.html

    "A lot of good news is now priced in. The balance of risk–reward has changed at the margin, and we think it's prudent to take some profit after this run-up"

    As someone who follows their market analyses, I have to say this is unexpectedly bearish of them.

    The Little Book of Common Sense Investing - Can I stop reading it?

    Posted: 25 Mar 2019 02:14 PM PDT

    I'm about a third done with John Bogle's book and they seem to be beating a dead horse by this point. Ok, I get it, investing in an index fund is far better than trying to beat the market. Can I just put my money in VTI/VTSAX and stop reading this book or are there going to be new insights presented later in the book?

    Thanks!

    Is WSJ worth it?

    Posted: 25 Mar 2019 12:27 PM PDT

    I am tired of CNBC's "Recession is coming, sell sell sell!" crap. Is it worth it to subscribe to WSJ or it's more or less the same stuff?

    CRON Technical Analysis

    Posted: 26 Mar 2019 02:39 AM PDT

    Cronos is in a strategic position for long-term differentiation by being asset-light and cash-heavy, but investors will be left in the dark for some time. While there is a possible upside with this stock, I estimate a 10-40% downside medium term using TA from https://stockinvest.us/l/2JHyq8dyG1

    General Question: Does Barron’s magazine parallel the typical political and economic views of Murdoch’s News Corp, or is the reporting more ”liberal” ?

    Posted: 25 Mar 2019 08:50 PM PDT

    Barron's is currently running a trial subscription of 8 weeks for just $1. I've been teaching myself about financial markets over the last few months and saw this as a good opportunity to increase my exposure to the world of big investing.

    I ask about the magazine's leaning mainly because of it ultimately falling under the News Corp umbrella, and interestingly, the articles I've so far read haven't felt like their usual media. I don't know if that's because Barron's is solely focused on investing and Murdoch-type views aren't as apparent in financial reporting, or if I'm just misinterpreting the bias/ leaning reflected in what I'm reading.

    I've even been listening to their podcasts and even those don't feel that conservative (in the Fox News sense).

    I'm wondering if Barron's magazine has always been this way, or if it has changed in the past year to become more liberal in the sense of offering thought on both sides of the spectrum. Just looking for some clarification.

    Thanks for the insight

    Thoughts on Dividend Darlings when they hit high payout ratios?

    Posted: 25 Mar 2019 05:02 PM PDT

    Supposing you believe in the company's products/services, what is the payout ratio where you start to worry that they're sacrificing growth for the dividend?

    How far back are you looking at their history to determine whether or not they're still sustainable? 5-10 yrs? And then do they have to have a sub 100% payout ratio in at least half, or are you avoiding unless it's over ~2/3?

    How much does historic volatility play into your decision? Are you double dipping by selling OTM covered calls?

    A lot of REITs seem to run >100% payout ratios, yet still see some suggested around here. Is it ever okay to run >100% payout ratios for consecutive years just to keep your growth streak alive?

    How does one efficiently buy and sell precious metal?

    Posted: 25 Mar 2019 04:56 PM PDT

    I'm thinking about buying precious metal (silver & platinum seem low) for holding several years, but the online world seems to be completely clogged with shysters and BUY GOLD NOW storefronts.

    How do real people who know what they're doing buy and sell metal?

    Do you buy ingots and store in a safety deposit box? If so, how do you safely send and receive it? How much time and margin do you lose on convincing the eventual buyer that you and your metal are genuine?

    Do you keep in an online trading account? If so, how do you know it's not going to dry up and blow away like the bitcoin trading accounts in the news?

    What is a good, reliable starting point for reading up on practicalities of investing here?

    Value factor or straight index?

    Posted: 26 Mar 2019 12:10 AM PDT

    Hi what would you recommend to keep central to my portfolio VVAL (Vanguard value factor fund) or a straight global index fund? Academic research seems to suggest there is some outperformance of value; but looking at the performance of VVAL over the last few years against the index it has not done great! I get that a factor might not come into favour for some time and factors such as momentum, value or quality rotate for excess return, but just wondering everyone's thoughts on a preferred central portfolio holding? Thanks for your thoughts

    $SQ or $PYPL?

    Posted: 25 Mar 2019 11:45 AM PDT

    I've owned Paypal for years, and have made 100+% (unrealized) profits on it. The stock now constitutes more than 12% of my portfolio, causing me to consider diversifying. Thoughts on selling half and reinvesting into Square? I'm still bullish on the payments sector, but haven't decided quite where to position myself going forward.

    Rumblings of a downturn??

    Posted: 25 Mar 2019 08:08 AM PDT

    I'm new and fairly ignorant to investing, but know enough to have a conversaiton.

    I saw the treasury inverted last week and apparently that's the first sign of a recession?? I just got my first job and have saved up enough to start investing a couple hundred each month, but would rather not invest at the markets high point.

    Am i completely off? Or on the right path?

    Again forgive the ignorance

    Papa johns

    Posted: 25 Mar 2019 11:15 PM PDT

    What do you think of papa johns as an investment now that Shaq is on the board? Stock has gotten hammered due to the whole controversy but now the guy is gone for good. I've only see nothing but good come from Shaq and the man is a marketing super star.

    Could be a turnaround in the company.

    T bonds versus cds

    Posted: 25 Mar 2019 11:07 PM PDT

    Hi currently t bonds are offering like 2ish percent ytm.

    A 2 year CD with a $500 minimum is offering over 3 percent apy.

    I'm confused as to why the CD rate is higher. CDs are not risky at all, yet offer a pretty high rate.

    Why is FZILX almost 10% cash?

    Posted: 25 Mar 2019 04:16 PM PDT

    According to Morningstar, FZILX (Fidelity's new 0 fee international fund) has 9.49% of its holdings in cash. This seems quite high: https://www.morningstar.com/funds/xnas/fzilx/quote.html

    I currently have an account with Fidelity I'm considering adding some international exposure to, but I don't understand this about the fund.
