    Daily advice thread. All questions about your personal situation should be asked here

    Posted: 27 Apr 2019 05:13 AM PDT

    If your question is "I have $10,000, what do I do?" or other "advice for my personal situation" questions. If you are going to ask how to invest you should include relevant information, such as the following:

    • How old are you?
    • Are you employed/making income? How much?
    • What are your objectives with this money? (buy a house? Retirement savings?)
    • What is your risk tolerance? (Do you mind risking it at blackjack or do you need to know its 100% safe?)
    • What are you current holdings? (Do you already have exposure to specific funds and sectors?)
    • Any other assets? House paid off? Cars? Expensive significant other?
    • What is your time horizon? Do you need this money next month? Next 20yrs?
    • Any big debts?
    • Any other relevant financial information will be useful to give you a proper answer.

    Be aware that these answers are just opinions of Redditors and should be used as a starting point for your research. You should strongly consider seeing a registered financial rep before making any financial decisions!

    What are some good resources to learn about indexing and passive investing?

    Posted: 27 Apr 2019 05:33 AM PDT

    Hey folks, I am from India and a newbie to index investing. In India, the idea of indexing is to catch on. Just about 5% of all mutual fund assets are passive. ETFs are still an afterthought. But in the recent years, large-cap mutual funds are finding it difficult to beat index funds and there has been a trickle of investors shifting to index funds to replace large-cap funds. In the recent past, a lot of people have asked me for resources to learn about index investing and passive investing. I was hoping if you guys could share some of the links, resources, papers, podcasts, videos that you found useful in learning the virtues of indexing. I was thinking of making it a public doc or a open blogpost for interested Indian investors to make use of. Thank you.

    Can you get "rich" off Index Funds?

    Posted: 27 Apr 2019 04:55 PM PDT

    Not that I think it's a get rich quick thing but I'm actually curious. Since you're not really doing a lot of researching when you buy Index Stocks, instead of Individuals, can people still earn a lot of capital this way?

    Is it about the same as Individual Stocks or would they offer more of a return? I'd love to hear what you guys think.

    This is a "theoretical" question btw, it just popped in my head.

    So essentially this is what I Own. Started One Month Ago and can contribute around One Thousand Three Hundred Dollars Each Month. Should I change my positions since I'm still Early On or should I Hold and Average Cost Basis Over Time? I'm trying to learn and figure out a Good Long Term Growth/Dividend Portfolio.

    Books/resources on fundamental analysis suggestions

    Posted: 27 Apr 2019 11:41 PM PDT

    Been doing mutual funds for about 3 years now and im interested in learning more about self directed investing .

    Havent had any formal education on investing aside from gr 12 accounting which i just finished (if you count that as relevant to investing...)

    What books on fundamental analysis would you reccomemnd for beginners like myself? Ive read some of "the intelligent investor" but i felt so lost whenever he started talking about analyzing intrinsic values of a company. So hoping to read up on basics of FA before revisiting the intelligent investor.

    Where to Invest? Australia or Europe?

    Posted: 28 Apr 2019 04:06 AM PDT

    Hi guys,

    Im an Australian but living in Austria, Europe for the last 3 years and foreseeable future. Currently i have a few small investments made with NabTrade in Australia and also hold a DeGiro account here but no investments made there.

    Anyone know whether it benefits me more by investing via European broker or sticking with my current Australian broker? Obviously i know the commissions etc. But i'm wondering more about Tax implications and Capital gains in the long term?

    Thanks so much for the insight if anyone has some or has been in this position before..

    Also, may be a repeated question i apologize, i couldn't find my answer either way.

    Cheers, Matt

    How to negate a company/sector when buying an ETF, due to working in said sector?

    Posted: 27 Apr 2019 08:53 PM PDT

    I am someone who invests using ETF's, specifically just using S&P500 ETFs. Lets say I want more exposure to the EU markets, so I just buy some shares of an EU based ETF like SX5E.

    But let' say I want the opposite, and decrease my exposure to something an S&P500 ETF has? For example, someone who works in the tech sector (like at a tech startup) is very exposed to tech via, well, their job. If the tech sector has problems then they might also loose their job, hence being arguablly over exposed.

    In a perfect world you could just go "I want the S&P500 ETF but without FB, GOOG, AMZN, etc", but that's not really possible for various reasons. So is there any other instrument one can use to "inverse" holding those companies? I hear Options or Puts can be used, in which case I can buy them on a monthly basis, but I know basically nothing about them, so I figured I would ask here first before going down that rabbit hole.

    Question about indexes

    Posted: 27 Apr 2019 10:26 PM PDT

    Don't have access to BB right now does anyone know if there is an index that meets the following requirements:

    #1 Has to be equal sector weight representation (ALL sectors) with at least quarterly rebalancing

    #2 Market cap weighted or float weighted (sectors within the index)

    #3 Minimum of 500 constituents

    Sorry I am really tired and hope Reddit can help me out. Reminder: not looking for ETF's or mutual funds (Just the index).

    Tesla’s customer deposits

    Posted: 27 Apr 2019 09:42 PM PDT

    I was reading through Tesla's latest quarterly report. The customer deposits by Mar 2019 was at 768M. If we consider 2500$ per reservation on an average, they have ~307k reservations? Is that a right assumption? If the above is true why is everyone saying demand is drying up? I'd assume most of these are actual orders as opposed to 1000$ preorder deposits. What am I missing here?

    Impressive Q1 GDP growth number may be somewhat deceptive.

    Posted: 27 Apr 2019 03:45 PM PDT

    Some notes from the Reuters article:

    • burst in growth was driven by a smaller trade deficit and the largest accumulation of unsold merchandise since 2015, temporary boosters that are seen weighing on the economy later this year.

    • consumer and business spending slowed sharply, and investment in homebuilding contracted for a fifth straight quarter.

    • Growth was also driven by increased investment in roads by local and state governments.

    • Excluding trade, inventories and government spending, the economy grew at only a 1.3 percent rate in the first quarter, the slowest since the second quarter of 2013.

    • Economists expect GDP to slow this year, with annual growth forecast around 2.5 percent, below the Trump's administration's 3 percent target. The economy missed the growth target in 2018.

    I hold the 3 fund portfolio, what can i add to add in more upside, with more risk?

    Posted: 27 Apr 2019 08:48 AM PDT

    I hold the typical vanguard 3 fund portfolio. With 5-10% of my portfolio, I'm okay with taking extra risk, while having a greater upside than VTSAX. I'd like to not pick individual stocks, are there any suggestions for how i can tilt my portfolio?

    Currently holding VTSAX, VTIAX, and a bond fund.

    [Question] Should the cost of equity used at FCFE and DDM valuation be the same?

    Posted: 27 Apr 2019 08:23 AM PDT

    I was thinking, when I'm doing a DDM valuation I assume that a certain portion of the cash will be distributed as dividends. In the other hand, at FCFE valuation I just calculate the sum of all cash flow that the firm will have after pay its debts and taxes, but I don't assume that the cash will revert in beneficit of the shareholders, at least not immediately, since the firm can decrease its net debt and not necessary that will increase its market value because markets are not that efficient, specially in the short-term.

    So the point is, since I assume that dividends will have immediate effects on the wealth of the shareholders, should I use a discount rate a bit smaller in a DDM valuation than a FCFE? Does it sounds like a good idea for you?

    Probable foolish question about IPOs and market cap.

    Posted: 27 Apr 2019 05:46 PM PDT

     My thought is probably something everyone else has already figured out.I know that market cap is the amount of shares outstanding times share price. Say a company issues 1,000,000 shares at $10 each and they are all bought. they have raised $10,000,000 and that becomes the market capitalization. After that, any change in the share price is incurred by investors trading shares. Are companies required to issue all their intended stocks at once or can they release more shares if the price has increased? Except for the instances of stock buybacks and companies that compensate employees with shares/options why do these companies care much about what the stock is trading for on any given day?

    Transferring funds out of Wealthfront to Chase - You Invest brokerage account

    Posted: 27 Apr 2019 04:35 PM PDT

    I would like to transfer all of my ETFs from my Wealthfront investment account (not an IRA or 401K account, an ordinary one) to Chase - You invest. Has any one done (or tried) this before - any advice you might have or know if this is even possible or not?

    1. I currently don't have a Chase (You invest) account right now, and I see that they are offering big bonuses for opening a new account with qualified funding of account within a given number of days. Do you know if I will eligible for these bonuses if I transfer my ETFs from wealthfront to You Invest.
    2. Do ETFs retain their old purchase date (from wealthfront) after transfer to the new broker - or is it set to the transfer date (maybe because they are first sold by wealthfront and then bought by Chase - I highly doubt this though). I don't want this transfer to result in any taxes because of capital gains - I just want to transfer my brokerage.
    3. I also have a Robinhood investing account but didn't decide to transfer it there as it was not offering me any bonuses. Any other recommendations that you might have if for some reason you wouldn't advice me to go with Chase - You invest.

    If you are curious, I am doing this because I want to selectively sell some of the ETFs and retain some - but Wealthfront doesn't let me do so.

    Thank You!

    New to investing, mostly a tech nerd, question about AMD

    Posted: 27 Apr 2019 03:58 PM PDT

    So I'm not sure how this works. I've had Robinhood installed for about a month but haven't done anything with it other than set up an account, because I wanted to learn a bit before I jumped in.

    I follow tech, like very deeply, and I've been keen on AMD ever since they began to implement their chiplet architecture about 2-3 years ago. I still kick myself for not investing when it was around 2-3 dollars (then again, that's probably everyone).

    My question is, I honestly believe that AMD is still innovating hard, and with Intel saying theyre sticking with 14nm chips till 2021, I'd like to invest in AMD, 4 shares to start. How volitile has the stock been? Is it a good starting stock. What should I know about it before jumping in?
