    Walmart CEO calls on Congress to raise the federal minimum wage

    Walmart (WMT) CEO Doug McMillon called on Congress to raise the federal minimum wage at the retailer's annual shareholders meeting.

    "It's clear by our actions and those of other companies that the federal minimum wage is lagging behind. $7.25 is too low," McMillon said during the company's formal business meeting at Walmart's Shareholders and Associates Week in northwest Arkansas.

    Significant Insider Trading Activity (Last 7 Days)

    Posted: 05 Jun 2019 08:53 AM PDT

    This is a list of the top 20 companies that experienced the largest change in insider shares in the last seven (7) days. The SEC defines an insider as any officer, director or 10% shareholder. It is not illegal for these people to buy or sell their own shares. In fact, since most of them get paid in stock options, it is expected. However, it is illegal for them to trade on inside information that has not been made public. So for example if there are drug trial results that are bad and not public, insiders cannot dump shares. That said, many people have observed that insiders - in general - seem to have a good track record at timing their purchases. All trades that are marked as part of a 10b5 plan are excluded from this report.

    When this percentage of the yield curve has inverted, it's almost always a recession signal.

    Posted: 05 Jun 2019 06:45 PM PDT

    Over 50% of the yield curve has inverted which is a clear recession warning. Since 1980, this percentage of inversion has always meant a recession was coming in the next couple years.

    The bulls love to point out that the near maturity part of the yield curve is inverted because the Fed is widely expected to cut rates. However, recent cycles show rate cuts signal a recession is coming soon.

    The bulls hope the Fed will cut rates once or twice this year to help the economy exit this slowdown. However, one of the catalysts of a potential recession is the trade war. One rate cut won't stop the trade war from raging on. The trade war ending is probably the bulls' best bet to avoid history repeating itself. In theory, if rate cuts are already expected, they shouldn't cause stocks to rally when they occur.

    Significant Activist Hedge Fund Activity (Last 7 Days)

    Posted: 05 Jun 2019 08:53 AM PDT

    These are the latest Schedule 13D forms filed by activist investors in the last 7 days. Activist investors are investors that make an investment with the intention of influencing management in some way. There is evidence that following activist investors into investments can generate excess returns. Schedule 13G forms, in contrast, are filed by significant investors with no intention of influencing management (such as Index funds).

    There is always a lot of interest in insider trades, but what a lot of people probably don't realize is that hedge fund activity is probably more predictive of future returns than insider activity. The reason is that hedge funds (a) have large research budgets, and (b) have a choice where to put their money. In contract, insiders have no choice where to put their money, but only when to time their transactions.

    New Filings

    This table lists new 13D filings in the last week. A new filing does not necessarily indicate a new position, as investors frequently accumulate in advance before reaching the filing threshold.

    Beginner Interested in Investing in Stocks, but don’t know where to start

    Posted: 05 Jun 2019 02:01 PM PDT

    I am a teacher that is now on summer break, and this summer I want to get into the stock market a bit. The main problem is that I have literally no idea where to start. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions or resources on how to easily get into it and hopefully be successful in my investments. I was wondering if I could specifically get recommendations for the following: - Possible websites or apps to use that is easy to navigate for beginners to start getting into the stock market - Podcasts or YouTube videos that specifically discuss information for beginners to know before investing or helpful tips - Podcasts or YouTube videos that have news updates on information with the stock market with regular episodes

    Any additional information, resources, or just helpful advice on how to properly get into the stock market would be excellent too!

    American consumers love a good discount, and low-income shoppers are growing their spending more rapidly than middle- and upper-income earners, according to a new report from Bank of America.

    Walmart, Target, Costco and America's dollar stores are thriving today, while other retailers flounder, Bank of America says.

    Looking for something to have on in the background during work. I know about ones like CNBC and Yahoo Finance, but I'm looking for ones that might not be that mainstream but are really good.

    TD Ameritrade vs Charles Schwab Brokerage Account

    Posted: 04 Jun 2019 10:33 PM PDT

    Title pretty much says it all. I have my portfolio (about 14k worth, so not huge) in USAA and I've decided using a site with almost literally 0 perks for trading and 9$ commissions is silly, so I'm leaving it.

    I've begun researching how to day trade and am interested in which of the above two brokerage firms (or a third if you have a recommendation) you would recommend for someone who wants to try the occasional risky play, but mainly is holding stocks for the long haul (unless the market looks overbought or oversold).

    I also have Robinhood (thanks r/wsb) so charting and strategic planning tools that either may offer for very risky plays on that would be super helpful too. Thanks for any advice!
