| If a stock doesn’t give dividends or voting rights, why is it worth anything? Posted: 21 Apr 2019 05:37 AM PDT I realize it's worth something because someone will pay for it, but why would they pay for? Because someone else would? And why would they pay? And so on. What I'm asking is, what is the actual value of holding such stock, when you're not getting paid and don't have any control over the company. Edit: what exactly ties the price of the stock to the value of the company? You can't vote even if you got 100% of the shares (GOOG for example), so it's not really a "fraction of owning the company". You're not getting paid either, so what is it that drives the price? Seems like a worthless piece of paper and people just assign a value to it? [link] [comments]  |

| Best investing and personal finance forums outside of Reddit? Posted: 21 Apr 2019 11:14 PM PDT I am scouring the web for investing and personal finance communities. It is nice to hear other perspectives about investing, the economy, and personal finance. I am Canadian, so Canadian centric or US centric are ideal. So far I like: -Bogleheads -Canadianmoneyforums -Redflagdeals [link] [comments]  |
| How to implement a dry powder strategy? (active investing) Posted: 21 Apr 2019 11:43 PM PDT While most of us are better off using index funds as our main investment tool, if we do decide to actively pick stocks we ought to have some kind of strategy to determine how much cash we should keep on hand at any given time. On one extreme we are fully invested, which leaves us no power to take advantage of market selloffs and panics. On the other extreme we have too much cash on hand and miss out on the intrinsic compounding of the market as a whole. How do we find a balance between these two extremes and how does it tie into our perceived valuation of the market at the time? Holding any cash is a bet that a better opportunity will come in the future, how do we get a feel for this and when do we determine "this bargain is as good as it gets, I'm all in"? Does it come with experience? [link] [comments]  |

| At what point do startups stop failing? Posted: 21 Apr 2019 02:48 PM PDT It's well known now that most startups fail. But at what point does this chance start getting lower? Is there any analysis saying that once a company is x years old, or has y revenue it's no longer as likely to fail? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 21 Apr 2019 08:16 PM PDT I did me a screener, and a company known as Icahn Enterprises hit my criteria. I did further research and found they pay a 10.75% dividend, or $8. I then conducted some nice DD, and discovered a very inconsistent income statement but a solid balance sheet. I found they owned Pep Boys and Trump Entertainment. I wasn't sure what to make of this, so like any stupid 'investor' I looked at https://money.cnn.com/quote/forecast/forecast.html?symb=IEP and saw a high estimate of -17.1% in the next 12 months. Is this a solid conglomerate, or a wack scheme? [link] [comments]  |
| Is there any reason to buy a 52wk Tbill? Posted: 22 Apr 2019 03:02 AM PDT Looking at the rates, a 4 week Tbill yields about 2.4% and a 52 week yields 2.35%. Am I correct that I can make more by reinvesting into a 4 week bill (2.4% per month) over a year than if I just bought a single 52 week bill? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 21 Apr 2019 10:39 PM PDT So I was checking out a company called Plus500 (ticker is PLSQF) and was fairly surprised. They are a CFD trading platform which has an astounding 93% gross margin and a 52% net margin. They pay a dividend of roughly 12%, generate large amounts of free flow cash, and are continuing to grow. While I am not a CFD trader so I cannot necessarily determine the demand for their platform, it seems as though demand is strong for their platform. I'd love your guys' input on the company! Also, I was curious if anyone could explain why the movement in their price has been so little? Is it due to a lack of liquidity (considering it's almost a $1 billion dollar company, I find that surprising) or something else? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Advice for an absolute beginner Posted: 21 Apr 2019 10:12 AM PDT I'm turning 18 in a few months and would like to start investing as soon as possible. What books/videos/media will you recommend for someone who wants to start out has 0 clue of how this works. What apps/websites are the best for starting out. How much money do you recommend I start off with. I still have a few months of vacation and I'd like to spend most of it learning before opening an account. Thx in advance [link] [comments]  |
| How do you profit from buying ETFs? Posted: 22 Apr 2019 01:30 AM PDT If the ETF doesn't pay dividends and it reinvests them (which are most of them as far as I've seen), is the only way of making profit out of it just waiting for the price go up and then sell it afterwards? [link] [comments]  |
| What do you think is the next bitcoin type moon shot investment? Posted: 22 Apr 2019 12:58 AM PDT I'd be interested to hear what everyone thinks is their next money shot like cryptocurrency was back in 2017. Do you think you're onto the next bitcoin style asset? Maybe a particular stock or venture that you think is going to take off soon? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 22 Apr 2019 12:57 AM PDT Which large cap companies—as defined by membership in the S&P 500—have effective monopolies over an industry? I'd like to spur discussion about the nature of the individual monopolies (e.g., Coca-Cola's brand, marketing, and secret recipe vs. Google's position as the de facto search engine for 85%+ of North America).

| Posted: 22 Apr 2019 12:33 AM PDT I like to look at an index or stock's historical performance and being able to quickly figure out how much it appreciated or declined in a given amount of time. Google Finance shows this and is great. With Google Finance you can mouse over a time period and it will show you the percent the stock in question gained or lost value. However, for my purposes it is not detailed enough. Are there any other platforms that show this information? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 21 Apr 2019 11:42 PM PDT So I'm 18 and getting ready to go into college. I live in America and I'm wondering if i should start investing before school start or after graduation, and if so what's the best way for me to invest so I don't have to focus on managing it while I'm in school [link] [comments]  |
| What does a Company gain by paying dividends? Posted: 21 Apr 2019 08:13 AM PDT I don't get this one thing. What does a company gain by paying dividends to the investors? That too, few companies claim to pay dividends in the future. Why do they give a shit when someone has already bought their stocks? Anyhow they aren't gonna get any additional money right? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 21 Apr 2019 11:15 PM PDT Hello I am interested in the fidelity platform for their etfs and wouldn't mind switching but their commission is $4.95 while I pay $3.95 at etrade. I know it's not a big deal but getting the lower rate would be nice. Was wondering if anyone had luck reducing their commissions at fidelity below $4.95? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| What actually causes stock prices to change? Posted: 21 Apr 2019 03:23 PM PDT I understand the concept of supply and demand but I don't understand what mechanism changes the price. Is it a present value calculation? [link] [comments]  |
| just got first job, want to invest Posted: 21 Apr 2019 07:01 PM PDT Hello everyone, let me start off by saying i just landed my first ever job and I come seeking advice on how to not squander my paycheck. I'm estimating on getting roughly 600$ a month , and planning on investing 30-40% of it. I'm not too familiar with investing, so I was hoping you guys will help me out with starting off. Where should I invest? should I actively trade? (if so, how, since i'm under 18) Any advice is appreciated, thank you. [link] [comments]  |
| Does the company benefit from a high stock price? Posted: 21 Apr 2019 07:55 AM PDT I know the company receives proceeds from the IPO but they don't receive any proceeds from the secondary market, right? I assume they care about the price though because they'll do things such as stock splits. Two things that come to mind are (1) keeping it high for a potential secondary offering and (2) selling the stock that the company owners personally hold onto. Am I missing a bigger/more obvious reason though? Thanks - trying to actually understand the situation, as oppose to memorizing stuff. [link] [comments]  |
