| Posted: 26 Aug 2019 09:31 AM PDT Is the world economy kind of screwed if this happens? I'm guessing they have to go even further negative but don't know if that's really sustainable. From what I'm reading there doesn't seem to be a path out of another recession. UK looks particularly troubling, Iv seen debt was like 30% of GDP and interest rate was a little over 5% pre 08. Now their debt is 75% and rates below 1%. Is this familiar territory or are we really dealing with something different with no map of how we get out. I'd like to hear some optimism but I just can't really find any data to support it. [link] [comments]  |
| Do you believe in the concept of "just paper losses" in your stock market portfolio? Posted: 26 Aug 2019 10:48 AM PDT My parents lost lots of money during the 2000-2002 and 2007-2009 stock market crashes. But for a long period of time most of their losses were "just paper losses." A least that is what their friends and family told them to make them feel better. They had some of their portfolios in bond funds but they were the majority stocks. (Maybe too much in stocks for their age.) As the news reported day after day after day of stock market losses during these terrible bear markets, they started to panic. They tried to tell themselves these were not real losses but just paper loses but panic started to overwhelm them. They could not sleep and when they did they had terrible nightmares of losing everything. My folks had a tough life with lots of awful jobs and it was a real struggle to save and invest their money. As the stock market continued to crash, they kept thinking about the toils and tedium they went through to earn the money they had invested that was now disappearing daily. By early 2009, the paper loses became just too real and they sold many of their retirement assets taking a huge tax hit. They moved to cash with the surviving funds and are still struggling financially due to their fears. Move ahead to 2020, when the next stock market crash how can I stop believing that my losses are not just paper losses when they seem so real? I am afraid I will sell my investments! This is real money and this time is different and the stock market may never come back. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 26 Aug 2019 06:19 PM PDT Hello everyone, I have a strong interest in global investing and I love to look at which countries are the cheapest or which countries have the highest momentum. That's why I was thinking about making a newsletter (this isn't advertisement I am not going to post any link to get subscribers). I would simply like to have your opinion about it and I would like to know if you would like to see any other info in that newsletter! Basically, I would give monthly updates about the valuations of every sp500 sector and around 10 countries. Then I show the YTD return of around 10 countries and every sp500 sector. That part is simply an updated list of a few metrics. Then I would put some papers/news related to global investing, momentum , macro investing or value! Here are a few screenshots: https://imgur.com/gallery/xnw7EdQ Basically, the goal of this newsletter would simply be to keep investors updated on how different sectors or different countries recently performed and what are their valuations and it would also help investors learn with the articles/papers I would suggest every month.

| Posted: 27 Aug 2019 03:04 AM PDT Take for instance LGLV, SPLV, and USMV. I can get information on the number of holdings, and the cap weightings of each--what percentage in large-medium-small. I can also see what percentage of their holdings are in different sectors (e.g., SPLV is heavier into utilities and real estate). And I can browse their top 10-15 holdings and try to eyeball it on that basis. But beyond that, trying to compare all holdings--from over 100, to over 200 in the case of these ETFs--could get tedious. And given a choice from these three, it would also be nice to compare that to some other ETFs I have. A tool to aid that kind of comparison would help. Does it exist? Finally, the idea I've had for doing this comparison on my own would be to download all the holdings (CSV) for each, then move that to excel and alphabetize each column. Any suggestions?

Impacted companies include Nvidia and Apple." [link] [comments]  |
| Will Bond Mutual Funds pay a dividend when negative interest rates come to America? Posted: 26 Aug 2019 11:52 AM PDT The experts are saying it is only a matter of time before negative interest rates come to America (From Europe). Now I know that dividends paid to bond owners and interest paid to people who have money in the bank are different things but in time negative interest rates for bank depositors would cause people and businesses to put their money in bond funds and I would expect bond dividends to reach near-zero unless you are talking about risky junk bond funds. The European version of treasury bonds is now negative. And the European Bond Market is crazy. So in time won't negative interest rates pretty much destroy the bond market which I understand is bigger than the stock market in volume. With the bond market soon to be in crisis, where would retired folks put their money to protect themselves against stock market crashes? [link] [comments]  |
| 2Q19 Robo Report & Ranking Released Today (Backend Benchmarking) Posted: 26 Aug 2019 12:42 PM PDT Backend Benchmarking released their 12th edition of their Robo Report which studies and monitors the most well-known robo advisors. They put together very detailed quarterly reports and in their most recent report, you can see that Fidelity Go Robo has outperformed heavily compared its peers and FutureAdvisor along with Acorns have lagged behind significantly. Has anyone dug into this report before and have opinions or insight on how the data is collected and presented? Personally, I think they do a fantastic job of categorizing and ranking the robos included, however, they also have included some "robo advisors' who do not fit a standard definition of the field, such as Personal Capital.

| Posted: 26 Aug 2019 04:39 PM PDT Hi all. I'm curious about electricity futures and would like to know where I can learn more about them. Does anyone here trade them? I have to assume it's a commodity with little if any speculators, just tons of hedgers. All the more reason I'd like to get some info. Thank you! [link] [comments]  |

| DCF Growth rate and discount rate Posted: 26 Aug 2019 01:18 PM PDT For the discount rate, is it better to use a fixed discount rate like say 15% or use WACC + Equity risk premium etc? For the Growth Rate, is it safe'ish to use analyst estimates like the ones you find on Zacks and Reuters? What are some methods you guys use to get to a conservative estimate of growth to use in your DCF? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 26 Aug 2019 08:56 PM PDT Hey everyone, went through BIWS/switched over to WSP after a while. They compared Walmart and amazon and how the companies receivables and inventory are completely different. Is this what is meant when analysts talk about a companies business model? Was wondering if you guys could list companies that have a structurally flawed business model so I can start thinking about businesses in those terms. For example would a company that has receivables longer than their payables and cannot ever reduce the gap be a "structurally flawed" business model? And are there any good case studies?

| Posted: 26 Aug 2019 09:00 PM PDT Hey, I saw in a online course that BofA made a reserch about the risks in investing in the s&p 500 over years.

| Posted: 26 Aug 2019 05:49 AM PDT I've spent years living between two countries (US and Japan). I'm back in the US now, but I'll likely going back to Japan within two years. The problem is, Japan does not recognize the tax advantaged status of US retirement accounts. After a certain period of residence there, I will be taxed on the dividends and capital gains in the account. I can't invest in Japan-based retirement accounts due to onerous IRS regulations. I'm stuck between doing a Roth/traditional/standard account. If invest in a Roth for tax-free growth, but then move abroad, I will not be able to make withdrawals on the gains tax free. I might even be taxed on dividends as they accumulate in the account and gains from the result of sales within the fund, but that's something I'll have to confirm. The same would apply to traditional accounts. It's like being treated the same as a standard brokerage account yet it has tons of restrictions on being able to withdraw from the US side. This renders the benefits of the retirement accounts worthless. I've been maxing Roth IRA (in addition to employer traditional 401k), but I'm starting to think it's pointless especially given the I'm in a high-tax state which I definitely will not retire in. I'd either retire in a LCOL/low tax state or more likely another country (my partner is not a US citizen). [link] [comments]  |
