    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.

    Anyone here with a large amoint of capital YOLO'd on one stock over a long time frame? Do you think it was a good idea (regardless of result)?

    Posted: 08 Jun 2019 02:19 AM PDT

    The Death Cross. Candlesticks. The Triple Bottom. Is there really anything to these stock chart patterns. Are there data showing how effective looking for these patterns can be? Or is looking for patterns in stock charts no better than trying to see the future in tea leaves or coffee grounds?

    United States grain embargo against the Soviet Union and S&P 500 reaction

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 04:36 PM PDT

    I was watching a documentary on the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and they mentioned Jimmy Carter and how he cut off trade with the Soviet Union. A week later, the S&P 500 from it's peak in 2/4/1980 at 117 fell to 100 on 3/24/1980.

    Can this be attributed as a comparison to what is going on with the US and China today?

    FedEx will no longer provide express shipping for Amazon in the U.S. (CNBC)

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 11:21 AM PDT

    FedEx announced on Friday that it won't renew its express U.S. shipping contract with Amazon.

    The move comes as Amazon is more aggressively building out its own shipping and delivery network.

    Amazon accounted for less than 1.3% of FedEx's total revenue in 2018

    So the market is up 250 points because of a bad job report and the possibility of the Fed cutting rates. (Both of which are horrible news)

    What do you think is the best company in the world and why?

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 08:18 PM PDT

    Not most profitable or most societally beneficial, but just the strongest and perhaps underrated company.

    Value stocks are trading at the steepest discount in history

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 05:07 AM PDT

    https://www.marketwatch.com/story/value-stocks-are-trading-at-the-steepest-discount-in-history-2019-06-06

    There's never been a worse time in history to be a value investor.

    That's according to an analysis by J.P. Morgan's chief U.S. equity strategist, Dubravko Lakos-Bujas, who wrote in a Thursday note to clients that "value is currently trading at the biggest discount ever, and offers the largest premium over the last 30 years."

    Buying things which generate income

    Posted: 08 Jun 2019 03:08 AM PDT

    So there are obvious things like dividend paying stocks (although there is a view that they are no different to non-div stocks) and housing to rent out, but does anyone have any ideas of other things to buy which generate a (meaningful?) passive income? Or any thoughts on the former two.

    Gold and silver as alternative to property as a safe way to store and grow my wealth?

    Posted: 08 Jun 2019 02:48 AM PDT

    I am a South African national working for a British company in the UAE and I get paid in GBP, it was a good deal when I got the job and is still a good deal as the pound is still worth more than the dollar (which the Dirham is pegged to, at a rate of AED 3.67 to $1) but less so now. My savings are around £85000 and I make £40000 pa, in another situation I would be buying a home, but even though I hope to stay here long term and am never planning to return to South Africa I do not feel terribly comfortable purchasing property in a country where I will never be a citizen, where my continued residence will always be a privilege and not a right. I am too risk averse for any sort of stock trading so I am wondering if gold would be a nice investment, is it? If so, are there any benefits to buying certain coins over others, Krugerrands over British Sovereigns, American Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs etc.? As for silver, I know that it's more volatile but it never drops to nothing like a stock or currency might so I was thinking that buying some silver when it is low and then selling it for gold when it increases might be a good decision, or is that stupid?

    Thank you.

    Recommended sites for free investment reports

    Posted: 08 Jun 2019 02:30 AM PDT

    Any recommended sites for free investment reports (like Citron Research but for longs)?

    I would assume that there would be plenty of individual investors sharing their research since it might help to convince another to buy the stock and increase the stock price. But the blogs I found haven't been updated for quite some time. I'm new to this space, so would appreciate anyone who could shed some light on this.

    Advice Request : Bank issuing Subordinated bonds at 6%

    Posted: 08 Jun 2019 01:42 AM PDT

    Hi,

    I noticed that eurozone bank is issuing some subordinated bonds at 6% per year, after which it will be listed on the stock exchange. I just want to use it as an exercise as to go through the process of due diligence as a learning exercise as I still in the process of learning about bonds.

    The offering is here

    https://investor.lhv.ee/en/offering/

    Thoughts.

    • Risk - It is a bank in the Baltics, and it is raising funds for what is future lending. Moody has assign the bank a rating of Baa1 (the same as Citigroup, Suntrust, ING and Credit Europe Bank N.V.,). As comparison, other banks in the country have a rating of Aa2. While I do not see the bank as going bust, there could be a bail in which means that you could get a haircut.

    https://www.moodys.com/research/Moodys-assigns-first-time-Baa1-deposit-ratings-to-AS-LHV--PR_393276

    Returns. - It is a 10 year subscription with the option of redemption after 5 years.

    Any feedback? At this point, I rather take the ETF given its diversification vs returns

    Mutual Fund Recommendations

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 07:48 PM PDT

    Hi everyone. First post here and a relatively new investor. Been invested in a mutual fund for years I just put the money away and forgot about it like most kids do. But now with the market doing so well I am in no real hurry to currently invest, but if the market corrects I would like to diversify by maybe looking into another mutual fund. Also important to note that I am basically restricted to mutual funds. Currently with Vanguard VTSMX. Anything you guys recommend checking out for a kid in it for the long-haul? Thanks in advance!

    How many funds are in your portfolio?

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 11:26 AM PDT

    Asking because I have probably 2 dozen mutual funds that I inherited and I feel like the investment manager just purchased all these because he got commission for it. It doesn't seem like you need this many funds to have a good portfolio. Especially since the more I read about each fund the more similar they sound.

    REIT stock analysis

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 10:22 AM PDT

    Hi all,

    Long story short, I want to create a portfolio of 5-7 quality REITS, just to create a nice dividend income for myself. For disclosure, I own a simple ETF portfolio and majority of my funds will be invested there. As far as REITS go, I want to have a total dividend yield between 4% and 6%, with moderate risk.

    All things said, what metrics would you use when deciding which REIT to buy? So far, I am using Funds from Operations (FFO) and comparing it to price to get a indicator like P/E, and of course, I am looking at stock price appreciation and year-on-year dividend growth. Is there any other metric you think is important?

    Thanks in advance!

    Lowering interest rates at this point would be crazy, right?

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 06:57 AM PDT

    From what I've learned and read, the FED is in a place where they should want to keep rates even or slowly increase in order to have enough tools to pull us out of the next inevitable recession. Is the only reason to raise rates at this point to keep an already inflated market up? Anyone with knowledge of the FED, rates, and recessions please comment.

    Is there a trading simulator that reruns stocks from pre-trading all the way to when the market closes?

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 10:53 AM PDT

    Is there a trading simulator that reruns stocks from pre-trading all the way to when the market closes? For example, its already 8 pm in Eastern time meaning markets are already closed and I can't trade. Is there a simulator I can replay and practice trading that reruns the market so I can practice at 8 pm or whenever I want to?

    If we analogize a website article as "cold-calling" many people; what is the difference between crazy analyst price targets and a boiler room?

    A partially serious question. Bonus points if someone can differentiate with a legal perspective.

    Buying calls

    Posted: 07 Jun 2019 04:47 PM PDT

    Is buying calls gambling? Seems like it takes much more luck to buy calls rather than say selling spreads
