    Boeing’s 737 Max Software Outsourced to $9-an-Hour Engineers

    Posted: 29 Jun 2019 08:51 PM PDT

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-06-28/boeing-s-737-max-software-outsourced-to-9-an-hour-engineers

    It remains the mystery at the heart of Boeing Co.'s 737 Max crisis: how a company renowned for meticulous design made seemingly basic software mistakes leading to a pair of deadly crashes. Longtime Boeing engineers say the effort was complicated by a push to outsource work to lower-paid contractors.

    The Max software -- plagued by issues that could keep the planes grounded months longer after U.S. regulators this week revealed a new flaw -- was developed at a time Boeing was laying off experienced engineers and pressing suppliers to cut costs.

    Increasingly, the iconic American planemaker and its subcontractors have relied on temporary workers making as little as $9 an hour to develop and test software, often from countries lacking a deep background in aerospace -- notably India.

    I've been wondering how a transaction tax would affect institutional investors and individuals as well.

    Return of capital investment put my account in the negative?

    Posted: 30 Jun 2019 09:29 AM PDT

    Hi, I have some shares of Gold Reserve Inc. (GDRZF). It recently went through a "return of capital investment," which put my account balance for this stock in the negative. I've done some reading, but I really don't understand why/how this works. From what I understand, the stock value will always go down in this scenario, but I should also have unrealized gains for the stock at the same time. My account does not show this. So I'm wondering if I did something wrong or just completely missing something.

    Thanks for answer a totally uneducated, small potatoes investor's question.

    Question - will Naspers shareholders end up holding the Tencent spin off (Newco/Prosus) directly or through Naspers?

    Posted: 30 Jun 2019 09:55 AM PDT

    The documentation is confusing with statements that "Naspers N shareholders will be issued with newly-created Naspers M Ordinary Shares, which, post-listing, will be exchanged for NewCo Shares" yet Naspers still expects to hold c.73%. Do the Newco/Prosus shares to be distributed to shareholders only account for the remaining 27%?

    How do reverse stock splits work?

    Posted: 30 Jun 2019 01:04 PM PDT

    How do reverse stock splits work? Let's say you buy 100 shares of a stock that you bought at $5 a piece totaling $500.

    The company decides to have a reverse stock split 15:1 and the current price of the stock is $3/share. You'll end up selling 10 shares at $3/share totaling $30 and keeping 6 reversed stock split shares at $45/share. This means you would have had a loss of $20 (assuming it is ($5 x 10 shares) - ($3 x 10 shares)).

    A day later, you sell the 6 shares at $50/share. When you sell those 6 shares, is it a short term gain (assuming it is based off of reverse stock split date) of $50 or is it a loss (assuming it is based off of when you purchased the original shares before the reverse stock split) of $150? I am trying to figure out the gains/losses and taxes implications for reverse stock splits.

    Posted: 30 Jun 2019 08:55 AM PDT

    Looking to run a stock screen on stock data from 1985 or earlier if possible

    The goal being to setup some randomization of portfolios with stocks fitting the given criteria and back testing returns up to present day.

    Basic Criteria I'll be searching:

    Listed on the S&P 500 at some point during given year.
    Dividend yield above 1.5 percent.
    Dividend payouts are between 40-60 percent of profits
    Company has had 10 years of increasing dividends

    Are there any resources that allow this type of search or have all of the data I need?

    [USA] Fundamental stock analysis methods were you analyse the CEOs/Management?

    Posted: 30 Jun 2019 08:31 AM PDT

    I met a pretty smart guy recently who has had success investing with his particular method where he buys cheap companies when analysing that leadership change should help company "sort itself out".

    He has education in finance and quite a good one + has worked as a professional portfolio manager.

    He said that he analyses potential buys fundamentally by looking at any leadership change (a new CEO, management change) where the new people have a positive track record, which would lead to them turning failing companies around.

    I would like to know if this is a certain strategy, certain aspects of investing and where I could read more about it, more about these methods used to analyse management and their track records.

    Any information would be appreciated.

    Anyone here follow the Stock Traders Almanac?

    Posted: 30 Jun 2019 08:30 AM PDT

    I'm curious what your notes look like (if you could please share a pic of them) or if you track the markets throughout the almanac, and if you do, are you writing down the negative/positive change amount for the day (NASDAQ: -12.20) or the actual number value (ie. NASDAQ: 7800)

    Boeing investors are pricing in a quick resolution and strong bounce back in earnings even though that is looking increasingly less likely

    Posted: 29 Jun 2019 11:24 PM PDT

    Its hard to see why Boeing is up 13% this year. The 737 Max was expected to account for 33% of Boeings revenues over the next 5 years but, with a worsening outlook, investors are attaching little weight to potential problems.

    Original expectations of getting planes back in the air have been pushed back by a second identified failure of a microprocessor that could push the nose of the plane toward the ground. Boeing expects to submit a fix in September but, even if that is sufficient, it will take months for approval and it may be that further adaptations are required. Even once approved it will take months to clear the backlog and compensation will have to be paid.

    Elsewhere Boeing faces the prospect of an expanded probe into claims of subpar work at a South Carolina factory that makes Boeing 787 Dreamliners and Boeing, with international sales accounting for over 50%, remains highly exposed to a potential trade war.

    All in all its not been a good year. Boeing's strong balance sheet mean it should weather the problem without any major issue but the valuation looks aggressive with a TTM PE of 21. The stock price has increased about 13% this year despite all the bad news. Over 3 years the stock price is up 170% while revenues and earnings are up 5%-10%.

    Investors are clearly expecting a quick resolution and strong bounce back in earnings even though that is looking less likely.

    This is not a recommendation to buy or sell. Stocks are not suitable for everybody. Please do your own research.

    apologies for confusion, but which path do the shares follow during a contract exercise?

    Upside ‘limited,’ risk ‘elevated’

    Posted: 29 Jun 2019 10:18 PM PDT

    "Our view remains that the US economy is experiencing a material slowdown after running too hot last year and this slowdown is now manifesting itself in poor earnings growth and deteriorating economic conditions," Michael Wilson, equity strategist at Morgan Stanley,

    Company earnings look like they will keep sliding through the third quarter with companies exposed to tariffs taking a particularly strong hit. Forecasters already were indicating negative earnings growth for the second quarter, but the outlook also has swung into red numbers for the third quarter, according to the latest FactSet calculations.

    Reading Tesla Q1 2019 Earnings: Why is their loss -4.10 eps instead of -4.05 eps? Math below

    Posted: 29 Jun 2019 10:02 PM PDT

    Hi Guys,

    I was looking at the earnings report from Q1 and noticed their loss of -4.10 didnt really make sense. In their report here, they show the following info:

    • Net Loss: -702,135
    • Basic Stocks: 172,989
    • Loss / Stocks: -4.05

    Where does -4.10 come from?!

So, I want to move my stocks to Usa security Application and i will sell the stocks in Usa. Anyway, there are the difference of tax between online trading and offline trading?(in Korea, online is more cheap) And what App(like JPmorgan??) is the best?

    ETFs and funds?

    Posted: 29 Jun 2019 08:24 PM PDT

    I've been doing a lot of research, but honestly I don't have much time to be so active with trading.

    I use Fidelity btw.

    I do occasionally place small positions, but I'd rather just have someone manage it for me while I focus my real career. (Specialization)

    So, any suggestions of etfs and funds (and/or how to analyze them and see if they're good or not) for:

    Technology (small and large) Consumer staples (like Walmart, Costco, etc.) Telecommunications Renewable energy (definitely want to allocate a good chunk to this since this is very important) Dividends Banking Total stock market Pharmaceuticals Healthcare Biotech Anything else?

    Thanks!
