    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.

    My portfolio hit 600k!

    Posted: 15 Jun 2019 04:31 AM PDT

    I made a post last year when it hit 500k so here's another one. Below is a picture of the growth this year.

    https://imgur.com/a/Mnp4qVD

    I track my portfolio on a monthly basis so the 600k total is from 6/9/2019.

    Started tracking in 2015 when I was sitting at 293k. Started to get more serious about saving then. Average salary in my life has been 80k.

    Hit 300k on 3/13/2016.

    Hit 400k on 4/9/2017.

    Hit 500k on 3/11/2018.

    Hit 600k on 6/9/2019.

    500k to 600k took longer than the others due to a flatter market.

    Here's my asset allocation right now - pretty close to targets.

    https://imgur.com/KQV0gZG

    It's mainly index funds with 5 individual holdings in my taxable accounts. I also recently started an M1 account for some higher risk plays but that's only like 10k.

    Cash is not listed within the asset allocation but I have it when I can't find good values. In order to prevent timing the market, my max cash holding is 10% per my investment plan and if it reaches above that, I start investing. Right now cash is at 9.5% of my overall holdings, the highest it's been in a ages. It's only that way because I recently sold a good chunk of my biggest holding.

    I still invest every month via 401k/HSA contributions and ESPP even when I'm holding cash so that I'm always pouring money into the market.

    Here's to 500k or 700k next!

    If most early stage biotech companies eventually go bust, why can't you just short them?

    Posted: 16 Jun 2019 03:05 AM PDT

    Wouldn't this actually be pretty easy money considering how risky these early stage biotechs are? Sure every now and then one of them will skyrocket but most of the time it seems like these companies just become a flop.

    Thoughts?

    Reuters: Broadcom's $2 billion warning rattles global chip sector

    Posted: 15 Jun 2019 05:04 AM PDT

    https://www.reuters.com/article/us-huawei-tech-usa-chipmakers-broadcom/broadcoms-2-billion-warning-rattles-global-chip-sector-idUSKCN1TF0O1

    Broadcom Inc sent a shockwave through the global chipmaking industry on Friday with its forecast that U.S.-China trade tensions and the ban on doing business with Huawei Technologies would knock $2 billion off the company's sales this year.

    Huawei accounted for about $900 million, or 4%, of the company's overall sales last year. Broadcom, however, also said the forecast cut "extends beyond one particular customer."

    LONDON/BENGALURU (Reuters) - Broadcom Inc sent a shockwave through the global chipmaking industry on Friday with its forecast that U.S.-China trade tensions and the ban on doing business with Huawei Technologies would knock $2 billion off the company's sales this year.

    The Philadelphia chip index was down nearly 3% with 29 of its 30 components trading lower. Shares of other Huawei suppliers like Analog Devices Inc, Skyworks Solutions and Qorvo Inc also fell.

    "We'll see a very sharp impact simply because (there are) no purchases allowed and there's no obvious substitution in place," Chief Executive Officer Hock Tan said on a post-earnings call with analysts on the Huawei ban.

    Huawei accounted for about $900 million, or 4%, of the company's overall sales last year. Broadcom, however, also said the forecast cut "extends beyond one particular customer."

    "We're talking about uncertainty in our marketplace, uncertainty because of the - of demand in the form of order reduction as the supply chain out there constricts - compress, so to speak," Tan said.

    The semiconductor industry has been grappling with slowing demand since the second half of 2018 with bellwether Texas Instruments warning in April that a cyclical downturn could last for another two years.

    "It's not just Huawei, it's deeper than that. OEMs [carmakers] aren't ordering. Inventory concerns, which were supposed to ease, have not gone away," said one European trader. "Goodbye H2 recovery hopes!"

    "We believe Broadcom's 2H19 outlook is not only impacted by the direct Huawei export ban, but also includes the indirect impact from the Huawei export ban to other customers as well as the possible industry-wide impact of the possible additional import tariffs," Summit Insights Group analyst Kinngai Chan said.

    Finisar Corp, which makes sensors for facial recognition, transceivers and other components for telecommunication networks, said in a regulatory filing that ban on Huawei could have continuing negative impact on its future revenue. Huawei represented 10% of its total revenue in fiscal 2019.

    The CEO of chipmaker Micron Technology also said the ban on Huawei brings uncertainty and disturbance to the semiconductor industry.

    This is bad for $MU.

    You guys keep gold in your portfolio?

    Posted: 15 Jun 2019 07:26 AM PDT

    People say you should keep gold to hedge risk, and it normally goes up when everything goes down, but it's not really growing, and with 5 or 10% gold in your portfolio, it pretty much won't make that big of a difference in the bad days of the market.

    Personally I prefer utility companies and high dividend companies, becouse they usually are stable and even growing during recessions, but I'm interested on what you guys think

    How are US treasury bond fund returns so high compared to their bond yields? (e.g. VUSTX)

    Posted: 15 Jun 2019 11:43 AM PDT

    Can someone help me understand how a long term US treasury bond fund such as Vanguard's VUSTX has such high returns relative to the bonds it holds?

    This fund has a 6.28% 10 yr return and an 11.72% 1 yr return.

    In it it holds US Bonds with long-term horizons (15-30yrs). These bonds seem to have yields much lower than 6%. The current 30 year is a mere 2.59%.

    How can this fund pay out returns so much higher?

    Approximating total world market - without rebalancing?

    Posted: 15 Jun 2019 03:55 PM PDT

    Can I make an initial allocation to ITOT/IXUS that is weighted according to market capitalization, and expect that it will continue to follow if dividends are reinvested, without any manual rebalancing?

    Or will it eventually skew? And if so, by how much?

    I understand if I just pick the 60% 40% ratio that vanguard uses, and one or the other goes down, then the ratio will change from 60:40. But, if I pick 62:38 which is what URTH is at right now, or 55:45 where VTWAX is, will it follow accordingly? That is, say the US's market cap as a fraction of the whole world drops to 30%, presumably my existing shares would do the same, yea?

    I searched around a couple previous threads and didn't really find a specific answer. r/personalfinance didn't know.

    And yes, I know I could buy VTWAX or VT, but say this is money in Fidelity where the only total world fund is URTH and has a bit higher expense ratio than I'd like.

    Diversifying investments with only mutual funds?

    Posted: 15 Jun 2019 03:01 PM PDT

    Due to work, my wife and I can't easily invest in individual stocks or ETFs, so we have a vangaurd mutual fund portfolio. I'm struggling how to figure out how to diversify by sector for our domestic investments, because most of the high-rated funds I see end up favoring the same big companies (FANG, for example)

    Best mobile app (with no/low fees) to pick stocks?

    Posted: 15 Jun 2019 01:51 PM PDT

    So before anyone mentions, I already have an IRA, I already have an indexed etf, I already have an emergency fund set up. I'm not necessarily trying to participate in active investing but I just was curiosity if I were to use throw away money (1% of total monthly income so really like $50-$100) on my mobile, is there a way I can avoid huge fees while also making "fractional" investments (into a specifically chosen company)? I've heard WeBull and Robinhood are pretty good, do you guys have any experience with them? Also seem M1 thrown around as well. Just looking for people personal experience and individual feedback

    Considering the Aircraft Leasing Industry

    Posted: 15 Jun 2019 01:40 PM PDT

    From a purely fundamental look, it seems like many Aircraft Leasing stocks are undervalued. I almost pulled the trigger on AirLease (AL) and I've been looking at Aircastle (AYR), FLY Leasing (FLY) and Aerocap (AER).

    That said, I know next to nothing about the industry. I'm hoping some folks in this sub have work or investment experience in this industry.

    I guess my questions are- is Aircraft Leasing an industry with growth potential? How competitive is the industry? I also wonder if the industry leaders are large enough to withstand intervention from large cap companies, like Boeing, who have the resources to develop a competing branch of business.

    Any insight is appreciated!

    Buying new stocks from UK (small trading account)

    Posted: 15 Jun 2019 01:28 PM PDT

    Hey guys, first post in the subreddit, nice to be here. I'm trading using trading212 and Plus500 but I'm growing frustrated that new stocks ar enever available on the day of the ipo. Only (if ever) a few days later. What size of a trading account in UK do I need to have and from what broker to be able to access these faster?
