| Posted: 11 Apr 2019 09:47 AM PDT -Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren proposes raising $1 trillion in government revenue from a new tax on profits of the largest corporations. -The proposed surtax would prevent Amazon and other companies with profits exceeding $100 million from wiping out their tax liabilities altogether. -Instead of taxable corporate income as defined by the IRS, the 7% surtax would apply to profits companies report to their investors.

| Posted: 11 Apr 2019 06:03 PM PDT https://variety.com/2019/digital/news/disney-plus-streaming-launch-date-pricing-1203187007/ At launch, Disney+ will include 7,500 episodes, 25 original series, 400 library movie titles, and 100 recent theatrical films releases, according to Agnes Chu, senior vice president, Content, Disney+. That includes exclusive rights to all 30 seasons of "The Simpsons," Netflix will likely be hit by this at least a little bit given the price discrepancy and content and I can see Apple's TV+ product being impacted if the price point isn't very attractive. For Disney, it seems like a good move to really catapult them into the streaming space quickly. I can see them getting a ton of members right away given the pricing. I'm probably in and I wasn't even considering it before I saw the pricing because I assumed it'd be another $11/month thing. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 11 Apr 2019 12:12 PM PDT -Republican Sen. Kevin Cramer, N.D., on Thursday became the fourth member of his party's caucus to tell reporters he would vote against the nomination of former pizza executive Herman Cain to join the board of the Federal Reserve. -Cramer's announcement all but doomed Cain's chances of receiving Senate confirmation if Trump were to formally nominate him, as the president said last week he planned to do. -So far, GOP Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Cory Gardner of Colorado and newly minted Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah have all told reporters they could not support Cain's nomination. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/11/fourth-gop-senator-opposes-herman-cain-for-fed-board.html [link] [comments]  |
| Do you ever consider the morality of the businesses you invest in? Posted: 11 Apr 2019 07:01 AM PDT I know, all companies intent to make profit and are shady in one way or another but there are definitely some companies that are shadier than others. How do you feel about the support you provide by buying its stock and driving the stock price up? Personally, I feel conflicted about buying into Amazon or energy companies. Has this ever stopped you? Edit: TIL r/investing is comprised of 70% edge lords [link] [comments]  |

| Nuts and bolts of keeping cash in short-term treasuries? Posted: 12 Apr 2019 12:02 AM PDT TLDR: I want to keep my cash in treasuries for their superior yields and liquidity to CDs. Seems like a lot of dead space at the beginning and end of the investment period. What's a mature, systematic approach to keeping money earning interest in short-term, i.e. 4-week, treasuries? I just put a test order for $100 in 4-week securities on treasury direct on Tuesday, 4/9 (when the auction was announced) and the note won't become "active" until 4/16. On a 5 year that's a rounding error, but on a 4-week that's a lot of dead time for cash. How does that work on a continuing basis? Can I get my money to get interest for 28 days out of every 28-day period? Do I need to look at longer-term treasuries to improve my "utilization factor"? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 11 Apr 2019 01:12 PM PDT I'm looking at some BBB rated corporate bonds (20 year terms) and they are offering ytms of 7-8 percent. Yes they are callable, do you think investing in these is okay? Bank of America is 8 percent ytm Bed bath and beyond is 7 percent Ford is 7 percent [link] [comments]  |

| Indicator Study - SPY March 2019 Posted: 11 Apr 2019 10:49 PM PDT https://imgur.com/gallery/iZFs7Kh This analysis will use three indicators (SMA 10, MACD, SlowStochastic) on a 15-year chart with monthly candles as proposed by Phil Town. These indicators can give independent BUY/SELL signals, but we will use the three in harmony with each other for a concrete signal. It is important to note we only recognize a signal once the month has ended and the candle is completed. The SMA 10 signals are quite simple. If price action ends the month above the SMA, the security issues a BUY signal, and vice versa, if price action ends the month below the SMA, it issues a SELL signal. The MACD is fairly simple as well. When the histogram turns green, a BUY signal is issued, but when it turns red, a SELL signal is issued. The Slow Stochastic indicator can be a bit trickier to understand. A cross above 80 is always considered as a BUY signal, while a cross below 20 is always considered a SELL signal. The phantom zone is described as being between 20 and 80. When in the phantom zone, the signal takes on whatever the other two indicators issue. When all three signals issue a BUY or a SELL at the same time, we can use these signals execute trades. 2018 started off with all three indicators giving off positive BUY signals (price action above SMA, MACD = green, Slow Stochastic above phantom zone). The MACD turned red in April 2018 while price action breached the SMA multiple times from February through May. However, the price action never ENDED the month below the SMA until October 2018, issuing a SELL signal for this indicator. Since the Slow Stochastic entered the phantom zone while the SMA and MACD were at SELL, its signal changes to SELL as well. Hence, all three indicators issue a SELL as of October 2018. Price action this February ended above the SMA, issuing a BUY signal for this indicator, continuing into march. However, the MACD and Slow Stochastic still remain at SELL as of the end of March 2019. I learned to used these indicators together through Phil Town.

| What happens to an index fund if the brokerage house ceases to exist? Posted: 11 Apr 2019 07:34 AM PDT I have some significant money ($1M+) in some very low cost index funds with a certain large brokerage house (don't want to name them to avoid debate of the probability of them ceasing to exist). And my cost basis on those index funds is less than half, so liquidating them on short notice will result in a huge tax bill and just throw off all my tax minimization strategies. So what does happen in the hypothetical scenario if the brokerage house ceases to exist or the index fund ceases to exist for whatever reason? Are the holdings liquidated? Do I get to transfer my portion of individual stock holdings of the index fund to another brokerage house? What is going to happen in such a scenario? With individual stock holdings it's a pretty clear process, they can easily move between brokerages without any tax consequences. But what about index funds? What if I just want to move to another brokerage house? Is it possible to take my portion of stocks that were inside the index fund without actually selling anything? [link] [comments]  |
| Page Duty skyrockets upon IPO increasing 60% on first day of trading Posted: 11 Apr 2019 09:55 PM PDT Thoughts? The only thing I can say is this really shows that if you are going to trade actively in IPOs then you need to be willing to look at all the new IPOs rather than just the hot ones like LYFT, UBER etc. A mostly unknown company could end up being a really good investment. EDIT: Pager Duty in title, can't edit it. Don't bash me reddit! [link] [comments]  |
| FYI: New .059% "Advisory Platform Fee" on Wells Fargo Advisors accounts. Posted: 11 Apr 2019 02:18 PM PDT Effective April 2019. This is on top of the taxable account fee, $175 (unless you have $250k+ where it will be waived). I inherited an Advisors account and was looking to make a few trades. Turns out you can't do that online. Have to talk with a broker. But that started me down the rabbit hole of looking at account agreements and fees. Then you have $7 transaction fees, a $250 "Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian" fee (as far as I can tell, this occurs when you transfer securities to a different broker), and then a "Safekeeping Fee" (applies for restricted stock, as well as "unrestricted stock eligible to be held in street name"). Fees don't show up on my account statement so I have no idea what I'm actually paying. My advisor will be telling me that shortly though. Contingent on that answer, I may or may not be closing the WF account. Suffice to say I wasn't pleased with WF when I saw the withdrawal fees, and even less so when I saw they tacked on an additional .059%. I doubt they're going to explicitly inform of you this.

| How safe is Nike? Will the growth continue? Posted: 11 Apr 2019 07:14 AM PDT I've been considering investing in Nike (NKE), it seems to be a company that survives nearly everything (negative) thrown at it and has a beautiful long term growth history. The youth love Nike and they are growing more and more each day in various sporting disciplines, everybody loves their apparel and on the shoe side of things they print money. How safe would you say Nike is? Do you think they have reached their full potential? [link] [comments]  |
| Scorp provides distributions to cover taxes. What can I do with the money that’s safe? Posted: 11 Apr 2019 08:10 PM PDT Really long story short, I work for an scorp that gives us distributions to cover our taxes. Nothing beyond that. However, it's a decent sum of cash around 15k a year. I typically pay a quarterly tax payment after I get each distribution around 25% just to stay safe on my taxes. Is there anything I can do with the money besides put it in an Ally account? Are there tax credit bonds or high yield CD's I should look into? Feels weird to just let it sit in a random Qapital account until next year. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments]  |
