| New bipartisan bills threaten Chinese IPOs and Chinese companies listed in the U.S. Posted: 08 Jun 2019 05:49 PM PDT By Akiko Fujita and Krystal Hu American stock exchanges have emerged as the latest battleground in the ongoing political fight between the U.S. and China. While bilateral discussions on trade have made little headway in recent weeks, Republican and Democratic lawmakers on Capitol Hill have aggressively moved forward with legislation that increases oversight for more than $1 trillion worth of U.S.-listed Chinese companies, putting stocks like Alibaba (BABA) in the spotlight and future listings on these exchanges in question. "We welcome investment from companies from China so long as they are complying with other laws," Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) said, speaking to Yahoo Finance. "But they should play by the same laws as everyone else. Those rules are designed to protect American investors and to protect confidence." Two bipartisan bills have been introduced over the last few months, aimed at going after Chinese companies that don't comply with auditing rules in the U.S. Van Hollen's bill, which was co-sponsored by Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) and introduced in March, gives listed Chinese firms three years to come in compliance with oversight requirements of the PCAOB, a non-profit corporation Congress created in 2002, in an effort to restore reporting credibility. A similar bill was introduced this week, sponsored by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Democratic Senators including Kristen Gillibrand (D-NY) subjects U.S.-listed Chinese companies to the regulatory oversight that includes turning over its audits or face delisting. "President Trump has created an unprecedented opportunity for the U.S. to use its leverage to extract fair, sustainable, and enforceable trade reforms from China," said Rubio in an Op-Ed published in the Wall Street Journal. "The SEC and [Public Company Accounting Oversight Board] negotiators should use this opening to engage with their Chinese counterparts to bring China into line with international norms." Putting the integrity of a U.S. system in another country's hands For years, U.S. stock exchanges have attracted Chinese firms looking to take advantage of relaxed rules on profitability, dual-class ownership structure, and access to a large pool of capital. 156 Chinese companies currently trade on the major exchanges, with a combined market cap of $1.2 trillion, according to the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission. But those same companies have managed to skirt financial auditing by the PCAOB, in part because they operate as Foreign Private Insurers that are subject to regulation in their home country's exchange. Chinese law requires financial records to remain within the country to protect national security and state secrecy, making PCAOB verification nearly impossible, and raising the risk for accounting fraud.

REUTERS/Brendan McDermid Trader Glenn Carell works at the post that trades Alibaba on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange November 11, 2014. REUTERS/Brendan McDermid More Van Hollen admits China isn't alone in its resistance to financial oversight. In fact, Belgium, which has long pushed back against regulatory compliance in the U.S., is in the process of finalizing a cooperative agreement with PCAOB. The Chinese government has doubled down, calling on Washington to respect its sovereignty, in a white paper published in June, vowing to "not back down" on major issues of principle. Still, Van Hollen is optimistic the Chinese will come to the table and make fundamental changes to its accounting rules, as part of the broader trade negotiations that have reached a stalemate since President Trump imposed the latest round of tariffs on Chinese imports last month. "If we had a system where any country could pass domestic laws to prevent their companies from participating, it would essentially put the integrity of our system in other countries' hand," said Sen. Van Hollen. "I would hope that Chinese companies would put pressure on the government of China to ensure they comply." [link] [comments]  |
| Comparing return of stocks with reinvested dividends Posted: 08 Jun 2019 11:10 PM PDT Hey, I know there's a website where you can compare the historical performance of two assets with dividends reinvested. I can't find that website anymore. Does anyone know what Iam talking about? [link] [comments]  |
| New Bloomberg Watchlist Feature Sucks! Posted: 09 Jun 2019 03:40 AM PDT I have been a long time user of Bloomberg stock app and their web features for the management of my investment portfolio. Their app used to be so cool with like auto-generated charts to track your entire portfolio. Then they "updated" their app a few years ago and that feature was gone. Then I was relying on their awesome web watchlist feature with pie charts and weighted percentages of your portfolio according to location, industries and asset types. It was so cool! And then just a few weeks ago, they "updated" their Bloomberg watchlist feature and now it entirely sucks. The UX is so bad that the table doesn't even fit my laptop browser screen properly. Gone are all the pie charts and percentage weightages. Why is Bloomberg being such a dick?! [link] [comments]  |
| Hedge Fund straight out of college ? Posted: 08 Jun 2019 11:09 PM PDT A few years ago I met this guy who was apparently one of the youngest guys to run a hedge fund (I'm not sure if worldwide or just in Europe). He was like 23 or so, and he had worked with JPMorgan as well. He was always flying on a private jet with the fund logo on the wings, and even giving extremely accurate insight on markets. Now he's about 26 and works for Goldman. But anyway, I'm curious if this is like an extremely rare occurrence ? don't you have to meet the pre-requisites of being an analyst, then associate, etc.. ? And usually start out on the sell-side of the industry then moving onto buy-side opportunities like hedge funds or private equity / wealth management ? For context, I saw the fund's stats back then with my own eyes and was surprised. They had close to a billion euros in AUM (about 800M) , and the drawdown was 40% .. That was about 3 years ago, but now I can't seem to find the fund anymore I'm pretty sure it was closed, however I noticed he started working for Goldman. I didn't talk to him much but I spoke with his partner who told me a bit, but I never ask personal questions as I don't feel comfortable doing that [link] [comments]  |
| How do after-hour orders work/get executed? Posted: 08 Jun 2019 04:07 PM PDT Say I own shares of stock $XYZ. It's a Friday night and for whatever reason I decide I want to offload my shares. I place a market order which will be executed Monday morning upon market opening. On Sunday morning a catastrophic event takes place that completely tarnishes the reputation of $XYZ causing their stock to sell off. Upon market opening on Monday morning obviously the price will plummet. Is my order (from Friday night) higher in the queue than the orders of everyone who acted on the news meaning my shares will sell for a higher price? [link] [comments]  |
| Interactive Brokers asking for employer details? Posted: 08 Jun 2019 11:43 PM PDT Hi all. I'm about to sign up with IB from outside of the US. I see that they ask for employer's contact details when signing up. Does anyone know the rationale behind this? Does IB actually contact ones employer and verify any personal detail? Thanks in advance [link] [comments]  |
| How To Profit From A Pump And Dump OTC Stock Posted: 08 Jun 2019 06:04 PM PDT One year ago, a third party person (probably scammer) got my friend to buy shitty $0 revenue stock in OTC market. It has risen over 2000% since then and has remained inflated with $0 revenue. I don't think my friend can sell the stocks because their stocks are in the custody of the third party person who bought it for them. Any way for me to profit from this or my friend to get their thousands back? [link] [comments]  |

| Recommendations for Better Sources? Posted: 08 Jun 2019 06:17 PM PDT Hey All, While I feel confident in the sources I use for DD, I find myself lacking in places to find decent recommendations on new stocks to look into. Any recommendations on places you find are useful? I used to use the TheStreet mainly, but I find they have been less than stellar lately. [link] [comments]  |

| Site for comparing a large number of etfs? Posted: 08 Jun 2019 09:16 PM PDT So I'm trying to prune the number of ETFs I'm holding by comparing ETFs against one another. I'm wondering if there is a site that is able to plot a large number of ETFs onto the same graph/chart. The ones I've found online only compare ETFs 1 vs 1. I'm open to other resources that can help me prune my weak holdings. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 Jun 2019 03:51 PM PDT My company gave me options when I joined. The company has gone public. The options have a 4 year vesting period. I have completed a year. So 1/4 is vested and each month a another small chunk becomes vested. I guess another 1/26 as i have 3 years left. My question is the following. Let say my options were awarded to me at $9/share and at this point the company's share price is only a few cents above this amount. If my strategy is long term with the hopes that the shares will grow to something meaningful, does it not make sense to exercise now. I understand i will pay the award_price x num_vested_shares and the shares become mine. If the shares fall less than $9 I fall into loss. I have 9.5 years to make decision to exercise or not. Seems like best thing to do is only exercise if shares are well above the $9 amount as i will have to pay award_price x num_vested_shares regardless. Do most people buy and sell shares immediately for this reason. Sorry lots of questions here. [link] [comments]  |

| Big tech’s antitrust fears give investors a rare chance to buy Facebook, Amazon on the cheap Posted: 08 Jun 2019 08:56 AM PDT Alphabet and Facebook shares fell 3.4% and 2.3%, respectively, for the week. Amazon rose 1.6%, but lagged the S&P 500′s 4.4% gain for the week. These moves come after the multiple reports sparked fears that some of these tech companies could face tough regulations in the future, or even be broken up. Still, experts the chances of these companies being broken up are slim and their fundamentals point to further long-term growth. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 Jun 2019 09:46 PM PDT This is just a question straight out of curiosity. I basically started investing because of this sub a couple of years ago. I started off really small but was so intrigued by investing that I always switched positions and never held a stock over a week lol. That's when I found wall street bets. (You probably know where this is going) I ended up losing $2,000 all on option plays. (A pretty steep hit for a 16 year old.) I learned the hard way that people don't post their losses, only their wins, which makes it seem like it's easy money to be made. How did you all turn out? [link] [comments]  |
| Can someone explain to me how a company like SOL Global Investments Corp. (SOLCF) operates? Posted: 08 Jun 2019 03:09 PM PDT So looking at their financials over the past few years I don't see how this company is not being investigated or has not filed for bankruptcy. Most of their investments have been to prop up small market cap companies that just completed a private placement and they're losing money like crazy. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/SOLCF/financials?p=SOLCF ex: their investment in Frankly inc https://finance.yahoo.com/news/sol-global-investments-corp-acquires-120000373.html Any helped would be appreciated.

| Posted: 08 Jun 2019 01:56 PM PDT I understand trades on dark pool don't always get posted on the same day, but it is common you see them pop up on the next day, my question is the day the trade happened does it get calculated and reported that day or since it got posted the next day it get calculated that day ? thanks in advance [link] [comments]  |
