    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.

    Buybacks have exceded free cash flow for the first time since the financial crisis.

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 02:35 PM PDT

    https://www.cnbc.com/2019/07/29/buybacks-companies-increasingly-using-debt-to-repurchase-stocks.html

    Companies are ramping up share buybacks, and they're increasingly using debt to do so.

    Share buybacks are expected to approach $1 trillion this year, according to Goldman Sachs.

    Funding is coming from a record drawdown in cash as well as a rise in gross debt and leverage.

    Buybacks have exceded free cash flow for the first time since the financial crisis.

    Trump hits the Fed again ahead of rate decision this week

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 05:57 AM PDT

    https://www.cnbc.com/2019/07/29/trump-hits-the-fed-again-ahead-of-rate-decision-this-week.html

    "The E.U. and China will further lower interest rates and pump money into their systems," Trump tweeted.

    "In the meantime, and with very low inflation, our Fed does nothing - and probably will do very little by comparison," he added. "Too bad!"

    The president has taken to lambasting the U.S. central bank for what he sees as its efforts to rein in the American economy, including four rate hikes in 2018.

    Beyond Meat (BYND) - Insiders and "original investors" are selling

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 01:41 PM PDT

    Insiders and "Original Investors" are cashing out. Better sell this soon before this craters. Please do not loose your money. (I am NOT short BYND and as a customer want this company/sector to succeed).

    The lockout period was supposed to end in October, but insiders could not wait out the sky high valuation. Why do they need a secondary offering, few months after IPO.

    Too many red flags.

    Former Fed Chair Janet Yellen says she’s in favor of an interest rate cut

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 09:38 AM PDT

    https://www.cnbc.com/2019/07/29/ex-fed-chair-janet-yellen-says-shes-in-favor-of-an-interest-rate-cut.html

    Former Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said she supports a 25-basis-point cut in the central bank's benchmark interest rate due to a weaker global economy and low inflation in the United States.

    "The United States isn't an island. We're part of the global economy. What happens in the rest of the world — in Europe, in Asia — affects the United States," Yellen explained.

    The Fed is expected to cut interest rates by a quarter point on Wednesday for the first time in more than a decade.

    With Nintendo (TYO: 7974) entering the China market for the first time with the sale of Nintendo Switch, what impact on Nintendo can we expect from it?

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 03:52 AM PDT

    Nintendo is preparing the sale of Nintendo Switch in China. Nintendo didn't sell any of its products in China before and therefore the console market in China is dominated by XBox and PS4 (Microsoft and Sony). So what I see is an increase in overall sale for Nintendo, but probably less than it might be expected by the mass, since the market in China might be a bit saturated by the Xbox and PS4. On the other hand, the Nintendo Switch is a hybrid (a portable console also working with a TV). What are your thoughts about Nintendo?

    Gold vs gold miners etf?

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 09:58 PM PDT

    I actually have in my portfolio the etf $RING and i'm considering changing it for a 'pure' gold etf just in case we enter a bear market or a huge correction.

    In case that happens, what would be the best? Would the gold miners follow the market or will they rise like gold?

    Will competing electric cars like the Taycan have a significant effect on future Tesla sales?

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 01:57 PM PDT

    Does Tesla have enough foundation set as the standard high-performance electric car company to weather the upcoming release of competitor's electric cars?

    Is it worth investing in Emerging markets?

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 11:55 PM PDT

    Looking at emerging market funds I noticed that they are very cyclical with relatively no (or minimal) uptrend over 10 years. I understand that diversification requires investing partially in global (non us) markets but it doesn't really seem that you can make any return there. What am I missing?

    What are the thoughts about T-Mobile stocks now that the merger was approved?

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 06:46 PM PDT

    It hit around $85 the other day and has come down a little since the merger approval info came out. Is the expectation that it'll drop once the merging starts happening?

    How would you go about profiting if you knew interest rates were to skyrocket in the coming years?

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 04:37 PM PDT

    So lets say you have a crystal ball that only tells you interest rates will be through the roof in 3 years, what do you do? You have $100k in cash.

    Dumb question: why don’t bond ETFs behave like bonds?

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 12:22 PM PDT

    With a bond I can get a set return. Say 2-3% for example. Bond ETFs/MFs (BND, VBTLX, etc.) seem to be very volatile. Why are bond ETFs/MFs recommended in a retirement account and not bonds if the the returns aren't as guaranteed seemingly? Is it the dividends?

    Continue investing in the same fund or diversify?

    Posted: 30 Jul 2019 12:52 AM PDT

    I think the answer is pretty obvious but I've been putting some money away into the Vanguard FTSE global all cap index fund and it's doing really well.

    Is it better to increase the investments in this? Atm I only have £100 each month or invest in something else? I'm also putting £1000 into savings into the bank which is just sitting there so I guess I could take from that

    I assume most will say diversify and maybe naive to think that the fund will continue to do well?

    D.I.Y. Private Equity Is Luring Small Investors

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 09:01 PM PDT

    https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/19/your-money/diy-private-equity.html

    Private equity funds have performed well in the last few years, returning 10 percent in 2018 alone, beating all other indexes.

    That rate of return is attracting amateur investors who are setting up high-risk, high-return deals on their own.

    These investors do not want to hand over millions to professional managers. In most cases, they are successful professionals who have adopted a do-it-yourself approach to private equity investing

    ...

    Professional private equity investors scoff at such weekend warriors.

    "This is a sign of a hot market all around us," said Matt Glaser, head of equity, nontraditional investments and research at Wilmington Trust. And that market is drawing armchair experts out of the woodwork.

    ...

    In this sense, individuals focused on private equity are at a disadvantage. Their groups are not going to see the best deals, but even if they did, they would not have the capital to invest at that level.

    Tesla 10-Q SEC Filing Details submitted today.

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 10:34 AM PDT

    https://ir.tesla.com/node/20111/html

    We have an operating lease arrangement for an initial term of 50 years with the local government of Shanghai for land use rights where we are constructing Gigafactory Shanghai. Under the terms of the arrangement, we are required to spend RMB 14.08 billion in capital expenditures over the next five years, and to generate RMB 2.23 billion of annual tax revenues starting at the end of 2023. If we are unwilling or unable to meet such target or obtain periodic project approvals, in accordance with the Chinese government's standard terms for such arrangements, we would be required to revert the site to the local government and receive compensation for the remaining value of the land lease, buildings and fixtures. We believe the capital expenditure requirement and the tax revenue target will be attainable even if our actual vehicle production was far lower than the volumes we are forecasting.

    What's a good ETF/Fund portfolio for a long-term DCA strategy?

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 11:25 PM PDT

    I have a lump sum of money that I'd like to invest initially then I'm plamming a DCA strategy in perpetuity. I'm looking for a balanced portfolio of US bonds and stocks and some exposure to emerging markets.

    I'm new to this. What are 3-4 ETF/Funds that make sense for me. I'm in my early thirties.

    Should the lump sum follow the same distribution from above?

    Note: I use Fidelity as a broker.

    Immediate climb or fall post Brexit deadline

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 11:25 PM PDT

    Hi there,

    Looking for advice on my two largest investments at the moment. I've stakes in City of London Investment Trust (CTY:Lse) and RBS (RBS:LSE). CTY is a fund specialising in large caps listed on the Lse and RBS is part government owned so they'll both be affected Brexit without fail. I'd ideally access the cash at some point in the next half decade so not looking for a lifetime hold.

    What should I expect immediately after the October deadline? What would you recommend?

    Sell before the deadline gets close? Ride out the next few quarters? Sell in the immediate aftermath at...?

    Anyone use brokerage link?

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 08:16 AM PDT

    Just realized fidelity through my employer 401k has an option now to pick almost any funds out there by using brokerage link, fidelity funds are free vanguard has a one time cost of $5.

    I'm thinking of utilizing all of fidelity's free funds, however the funds I'm in are already cheap with .03% expense.

    Anyone else do this? Or should I just leave it be and work on starting an IRA in fidelity/vanguard?
