    What websites/blogs do you follow for picking stocks?

    Posted: 29 Apr 2019 06:51 AM PDT

    Last month, I made %50 profit by QCOM-apple agreement by following tech news, therefore I miss the oppurtunity to buy appl cheap. I have no idea about other industries. is there any useful accurate website for such occasions. or should I watch just mainstread media and some ordinary economy blogs?

    Note : I'm not talking about ''10 stocks to buy in 2019'' or ''123 stocks to boom in 2035'' kind of shit.

    thank you all.

    Options. What are they?

    Posted: 28 Apr 2019 07:47 PM PDT

    I am slowly learning about trading, and securities in general, due to my recent interest in the stock market.

    Once i learned about what shorting was, i came upon what options were.

    After about 2-3ish hours of reading and watching videos, i am still not 100% "getting it." And I keep getting specific questions about the particulars.

    So i understand that options are derivatives. simply because its price derives from the stock. (or something similar to that) and that options are basically contracts.

    these contracts can be either a "call", or a "put". if a buyer buys a call, they are locking in price X for stock Y, in hopes that the stock price increases past X, which is the "strike price. And if it does, new price - x is the profit margin, since they can buy the stock at the strike price they had the contract for, and sell it at the new high price.

    if a buyer buys a put, they are locking in price X for stock Y, in hopes that the stock price decreases past X, (the strike price), Since basically, they can buy stocks at the new low price, and exercise their option to sell those stocks at their contract strike price. (or just sell the option to avoid the extra step)

    i somewhat understand these concepts. but what confuses me are the particulars about it. I dont know how to phrase these questions, or what order to put them in, so ill just put them in numbered form.

    1. if there is an options buyer (or holder) there is always a seller (or writer) correct? is this the same concept as if someone wanted to buy something at the grocery store? if there is no seller of the specific type of option you want, you simply cant buy it?

    2. if 1 is true, are all the options shown on RH ones that are already on the market/made by a writer?

    3. in buying options, why are there choices to buy a call for lower the current stock price, and on the flip side, buy a put for higher than the current stock price? if by definition, buying a call means you predict stock go to up, buying put means you predict it to go down. what makes this even more confusing is that the premium simply forces you to have a break even point higher than the current stock price anyways.

    4. i cant seem to understand options in the sellers perspective. if "buying a call = predicting stock to go up" by definition is the opposite true? Selling a call = predicting stock to go Down? (as well as buying a put = predict stock to go down, so selling a put = stock to go up?)

    5. Am i understanding correctly that buying options keep your risk defined (just the premium paid) and reward (theoretically) unlimited, while SELLING options is the reverse? keeps your reward defined (the premium) and risk unlimited?

    6. if someone doesn't specify if they bought the option, how can i tell in what terms they are talking about? looking at posts made here, people simply says "i got a put going" "i have a call" etc

    7. going back to RH as an example. how come options are preset on the terms? how come the buyer/seller cant make set parameters to what they are looking for?

    I have more specific questions but i cant seem to remember them at this time.

    thank you all for your help.

    EDIT: tyvm for all the answers. I have a much clearer understanding than before. bit i definitely still have more reading to do.

    Thesis for Disney Long

    Posted: 29 Apr 2019 09:13 AM PDT

    I posted my thesis for buying Facebook a few months ago and as the price steadily approaches $200 a share, I find myself looking for new value stocks and keep coming back to the same conclusion. Disney, though currently on a hot streak, is still severely undervalued and there is plenty of runway for them to grow. With a market cap that is sitting at $250B, I have no question that this stock is going to break out in the short-term with many of the recent, but not new, revelations about this beloved company. My investment thesis for this stock can be broken down into the following:

    1. Core competency and extendable core: Disney's core competency is its marketing ability. Everything they touch becomes more valuable because they are able to create a complex network of their properties. Let's take their fairly recent Marvel aquisition (this is an easy one to analyze). You start off with a series of individual solid movies, all tied together and packaged neatly in a box titled Avengers. The movies are all hits, bringing in revenues that are small fries compared to the merchandise that are sold such as clothing, toys, movies. Their marketing has done so well that anything that bears the Disney or Marvel logo is synonymous with quality. This combined with their economies of scale allows them to produce top notch content at a steep discount. They were able to film both Avengers Infinity War and Avengers Endgame with a liberal estimate of <800 million dollars. Just ticket sales alone for Endgame generated over 1.2B in revenue in just one weekend. Not only that, but their abilities to create complex and high return webs is highly extendable. I mean they own Star Wars. I think they butchered the new movies, but that franchise is a cash cow. It is almost criminally obvious that Disney is currently priced based on fundamental analysis instead of technical analysis. That being said, a market cap of $250B is ridiculous which brings me to my next point.
    2. Comparables: Now before I begin on this point, Disney does not have any close comparables. However, for arguments sake, let's take their biggest competitor, Netflix. NFLX is sitting on a market cap of about $160B (on the conservative side). That means that Disney, with all of its intellectual property, an upcoming competitive streaming service, high marketing potential, and positive cash flow is only worth ~50% more than Netflix, a company dishing out money to maintain their streaming service and generate new content. This means one of two things. Either Netflix is overvalued or Disney is undervalued. The likelihood is a combination of both. It is already public information that Disney will be pulling all of its content from Netflix and releasing it on the highly anticipated Disney+. I have yet to find the statistic on it, but I am confident that at least 20% of Netflix streaming hours are on Disney content. You can bet that at a price point of $6.99 a month, Disney will be making money hand over fist with their new subscription service. This brings us to number 3.
    3. Streaming: To those who believe that Disney is late to the shootout, I do not mean to come off as rude, but that most likely means you do not understand the tides of the digital revolution. Streaming is still in its infancy. That would be like saying Facebook was late to social media because Myspace occupied the space. God bless Netflix for paving the road, but now Disney is laying out the tracks. This is the central point of my thesis: Disney has not only found a way to create a subscription service for their wealth of content, they have done something much more important. They have found a way to cripple their greatest competition while helping them build the framework. Disney has been planning a streaming service for YEARS. Why would they keep feeding Netflix their content if they were afraid of Netflix's user base? It's because Disney was using Netflix as a testing ground. Along with the dues Netflix pays to Disney, Disney also gets big data. How many people are watching their shows/movies? How many hours do people spend on their content? They finally found the levels high enough to justify their own service. They let Netflix do the legwork and Disney got paid for it. Netflix NEEDS (needed) Disney. Disney never needed Netflix. In short, Netflix was a vessel to offset cost and test the streaming waters before Disney jumps in.
    4. Intangibles: Disney is not a company you buy off its current financials. Of course they're going to have high capital expenditures. It is part of the network they are building that I mentioned in point 1. When you see Mickey Mouse, when you see any Avenger, when you see any Star Wars character, you are seeing intangible assets that can not be priced on a financial statement. I would argue that Marvel, Lucas Films, and Disney are worth more than a measly $250B.

    I have more that I can discuss, but these four points are the reason I placed an order today for 300 more shares of Disney at an average cost of $140. Disney is at an all time high, but an investment at any level now will see returns in the double digits within the next year. I am giving Disney a conservative market cap of $300B to at least put them near twice the worth of Netflix. This would bring their stock to roughly $168 for a modest 20% gain. Please feel free to share your thoughts as I have spent a lot of timing developing my thesis on this company.

    Thoughts on L Brands?

    Posted: 29 Apr 2019 12:42 PM PDT

    Parent company of Victoria Secrets and Bath and Body Works. They've taken an absolute beating the last 4 years losing over 70% from their high in 2015. At a $7B market cap they feel undervalued to me. LULU is $23B, LEVI is $8.75B, GAP is $10B. I understand that management has done a terrible job and their sales comps have been declining for several years in a row but at the end of the day Victoria Secrets is such a well established brand and I think it will eventually get their image right and see a return to popularity. Also Bath and Body Works has been consistently growing despite Victoria Secret's decline.

    What do y'all think? Is this a "value" trap?

    Not sure what to invest in right now - everything seems to be overvalued.

    Posted: 29 Apr 2019 08:48 AM PDT

    A lot of the large-cap stocks at the moment seem to be at their ATH or nearing their previous ATHs and I don't want to invest in them because I want to maintain a margin of safety.

    What stocks right now do you believe are undervalued and still maintain a margin of safety despite the market hitting record highs at the moment?

    Or should I just stay in cash and wait like Buffett does?

    Interactive Brokers TWS volume per candle and earnings?

    Posted: 29 Apr 2019 12:08 PM PDT

    I'm new to TWS and I'm wondering is there a way to display actual volume per candle by hovering on it. I see the volume Axis on the right, but I expected a more detailed volume indicator when hovering over the candle like every single other platform ever.

    Also, I'm used to seeing a display of some sort showing recent and upcoming earnings. How do I see the same in TWS? is it subscription only? (wall street horizon?)

    GE Earnings Discussion

    Posted: 29 Apr 2019 07:59 AM PDT

    GE has a pretty negative outlook for their upcoming earnings report tomorrow, Apirl 30th, 2019. What do people here think of GE for the short term quarter? Are you making calls/puts?

    Everyone agrees that the report will have a lot of bad overall news, but I've heard talk that it will do alright because of expectations for growth into the future. Personally I've bought a put, expecting there to be a significant drop in stock price on Wednesday morning this week.

    Sell in May when 3rd year of Presidents term?

    Posted: 29 Apr 2019 07:35 AM PDT

    Based on new research, the "Sell in May and Go Away" seasonal pattern, also called the Halloween Indicator/Strategy, only holds true in the third year of a U.S. presidential term. In the other three years, there is no statistically significant pattern"

    Barack Obama 2009 first, small drop in may-july 2010 second, drop from may-oct, big drop in May 2011 third, drop in may, HUGE drop in July (third term) 2012 fourth, drop in may thru aug

    Barack Obama 2013 first, drop in june 2014 second, drop in august 2015 third, drop in may, HUGE drop in August (third term) 2016 fourth, drop in june

    Trump 2017 first, no drop 2018 second, small drop in july rebound sept, huge drop december 2019 third, ___________ will it happen next month?

    Global loan debt is higher than it was in 2007, corporate debt double of 2008. Housing market slowing.

    I am new to investing but the pattern here is concerning. What options does a noob like me have for retirement and mutual fund accounts?

    Call my financial advisor and get things tightened down? Move everything into a money market account and not worry about it this summer but lose out on all gains for months?

    AAPL- long vs Short term outlook

    Posted: 29 Apr 2019 06:53 AM PDT

    Holding AAPL for a while and have added to my position in the past few months . I am up 90% and have a few shares added as dividend reinvestment . I was wondering what you guys / gals think is the short Vs long outlook on Apple. I am not certain this $1000+ phone pricing is sustainable. I do like their new services model to add new sources of revenue, but I am uncertain as to how long these services will take to generate a good cAsh flow if iPhone sales / demand continue to decline . .

    Commodities and Futures Research Question

    Posted: 29 Apr 2019 07:26 AM PDT

    I am currently trying to do some DD on a company -- $BMCH to be exact. A large part of their production comes through building materials, specifically lumber. I want to analyze the macro factors that might affect their production, but I am getting a bit confused when it comes to the best way to do so.

    When looking up the health of Lumber the best reference that I can see are lumber futures, but I am unsure if this reflects the macro price of lumber. I'm under impression that it is determined mostly by the trading of futures contracts. This makes me wonder, is there a way to find the actual changes in overall lumber prices on a macro scale? It does appear that lumber prices have down around a more natural level shown in early 2017, and $BMCH has some pretty solid fundamentals if anyone is interested.

    Either way, If anyone can help me out with this I would really appreciate it.

    CVS — Large Discount

    Posted: 28 Apr 2019 07:16 PM PDT

    Anyone have thoughts on CVS? I believe it is very undervalued, along with the healthcare sector as a whole. Investors are pricing in worries of Medicare for all, however this won't happen for at least 4 years if it even does. Meanwhile, I will be profiting off of unwavering earnings. This may not be a short term play, but in my opinion it is priced attractively for the long run.

    Website to share trade ideas / swing trades?

    Posted: 29 Apr 2019 06:44 AM PDT

    My friend and I have been wanting to share trade ideas / swing trades with each other, and we were wondering if there were websites out there that could help with this. In the past we've just been sending messages about whatever stock looks good - but we want to formalize it a bit more and maybe do it over google sheets.

    But surely there must be some website out there that can do this instead. If I told him about some stock a few weeks ago, I'd want to be able to easily see that trade idea, and see the stock price since then etc... And for new trade ideas we post, to have it alert us if the stock reached some price etc...

    Just curious about what is out there, so we don't have to resort to some google sheet.

    DIS vs NFLX

    Posted: 29 Apr 2019 05:37 AM PDT

    I was wondering what everyone thought about DIS vs NFLX. I have a few shares of Netflix that I bought when learning to invest and with the focus on Disney+ I was thinking about getting rid of those shares and putting it all in Disney. It seems like Disney has all the momentum but Netflix has been a leader in streaming for a fairly long time. How do you all feel the outlook will be going forward?

    Posted: 29 Apr 2019 05:04 AM PDT

    I've been trading for a little over and month now and know my way around a lot at this point. However, can someone explain the pre-market to me? What's the difference between the pre-market and the regular market? Honestly I know it's a noob question but I'd just appreciate anyone who replies.

    edit: Am I unrestricted from buying and selling my portfolio in the pre market?

    SHOP and SQ

    Posted: 28 Apr 2019 11:06 PM PDT

    Why is SHOP trading so high (ATH) when they are still in the lost with the forward PE of 263? EPS -0.61, forward EPS 0.84, revenue 1.07B

    Why is SQ trading sideway and going down even after they constantly beat the earnings with a forward PE of 64? EPS -0.1, forward EPS 1.11, revenue 3.30B

    Both are 'overvalued' but it SHOP doesn't look anything superior than Square.
