    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.

    We are now in the longest US economic expansion in history

    Posted: 02 Jul 2019 06:04 PM PDT

    This is now the longest US economic expansion in history

    • The U.S. is officially in its longest expansion, breaking the record of 120 months of economic growth from March 1991 to March 2001, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research.
    • Starting in June of 2009, this record-setting run saw GDP growing cumulatively by 25%, far slower than previous expansions.
    • While the unemployment rate has dropped to 3.6% in May, the lowest since 1969, job growth has been relatively slower than during other postwar recoveries.

    What do you think will be different about the market in the next 20 years (as compared to the previous 20 years)?

    Posted: 02 Jul 2019 11:19 AM PDT

    I think personal as well as corporate wealth is concentrating. This means markets will exhibit a winner-take-all distribution. Likely frequent acquisitions of any company that gains traction on disruption.

    Stock option contracts in the green yet losing money.

    Posted: 03 Jul 2019 02:34 AM PDT

    I have a couple of stock option contracts (Call 142 and will expire in July 5).

    The underlying asset's price is above the strike by a little (143-144). However, the value of my stock option is losing 70%.
    My P/L is showing a -ve.

    Is this something common in the market ? Shouldn't the contracts I own be more expensive than the premium that I bought given that in few days they can be exercised for a profit ? Should I wait for the exercise or will I still lose on these options ?

    So Why No Leveraged ETFs?

    Posted: 02 Jul 2019 10:10 PM PDT

    So recently I've been brought to the attention of leveraged ETFs

    They can mimic the S&P 500, which if you stay in it long enough always go up.

    But they can be leveraged. 2-4x leveraged.

    Apparently if they make an return it's 2-4 times higher than their non leveraged ETF counterparts (for normal S&P 500 etf it's about 9-11% annually; now imagine it being 2-4 times higher than that return)

    But also fall 2-4x as fast if the market goes down.

    But I've just stated that the market always go up with time.

    So why is it that people say leveraged S&P 500 ETFs are considered speculations and not investments when clearly if you invest in them you can make returns as high as Warren Buffet?

    (He makes about 10-30% annually I heard)

    Does anyone here actually invest in leveraged ETFs or is there something I don't know like fees or unknown risks?

    DD packet for PCG

    Posted: 02 Jul 2019 08:20 PM PDT

    Have been long on PCG at about $7 until now, I watched the stock drop until I knew bad news was baked in, now it's time to cut the price by 50%

    for more information come join the team on Twitter : @ Bullish_Club

    The ad hoc committee of senior unsecured note holders of PG&E Corp (NYSE:PCG) filed their new Ch.11 reorganizaton plan (docket 2741) on June 25. Included in this court filing was a option to terminate the exclusive period that PG&E has to file their plan.. Many stakeholders are mostly pleased with this plan, but current common shareholders could face a massive dilution of their shares that could put significant downward pressure on the current stock price. A hearing on this motion is set for July 23.

    Please tell me why this is a bad investment (stock trading question)

    Posted: 02 Jul 2019 05:54 PM PDT

    I want to own a lot of Microsoft stock long term. While holding it, I plan to sell it every so often and try to buy it back when it's lower during a price fluctuation. If I'm holding it and it drops a lot (some sort of crash), I'll just continue to hold it because my goal is long term investment. I won't sell for a loss. I did this a few times and so far it's working. What's the flaw in my theory?

    Is current book value added into intrinsic value of business

    Posted: 02 Jul 2019 11:21 PM PDT

    If the intrinsic value of a company is basically it's future book value, then if one were to be forecasting a business's future revenue, would he not need to add the current book value to the sum of future revenues to determine the future book value or intrinsic value?

    Help me understand how hedging your bets is beneficial

    Posted: 02 Jul 2019 07:01 AM PDT

    I probably need a much better understanding of what the term actually means but the way it sounds doesn't make much sense. For example hedging against the SandP500 by investing some on the inverse would be a hedge I think? If it worked correctly and you did 50% in each I believe the net gain is just 0 minus fees. It seems to me if you invest in something you expect to go up and hedge some against your funds going up all you accomplish is dragging your returns in exchange for losing less in downturns. Your investment should go up over time so hedging a small portion just drags that number down in exchange for not seeing as much money lost in downturns. So what's the point of investing in something that zigs when the market zags if you expect the market in the end will yield positively?

    My example may not make much sense so what about having anything in bonds for the long term? The stock market will beat bonds in the long term so what benefit is there? Doesn't it just drag returns in up years which happen more often in exchange for losing less money in downturns which happens less often?

    Does anyone know of any good biotech industry primers? A few of the larger names came up on a few of my finviz screens and it seems like an interesting space with reasonable valuations. I want to learn more about the industry and am hoping someone here can help.

    I'm 19 and am looking to start putting money aside and investing it. I want to start investing a small portion of my paycheck every week and was looking at VTI. Is now a good time to start doing this, even though it looks like a recession is coming?

    NYSE: BCS - Good Deal or Insane Value Trap?

    Posted: 02 Jul 2019 10:32 PM PDT

    Barclays (NYSE: BCS) has been on a long-term decline after looking at the 5 year chart and it is in the $7-8 range. It currently has a healthy dividend of 3.41%.

    I don't believe Barclays is in the brink of extinction given that it is a major bank in the UK. Plus it seems baffling to think that a major bank would be a penny stock so there is a possibility that the stock has already bottomed out. Would this stock be feasible for a long term play or is Barclays going down the shitter?

    Plus, Barclays Center in Brooklyn will be popular given their new acquisitions for the Brooklyn Nets so that may boost morale for Barclays.
