| Posted: 08 Aug 2019 08:10 PM PDT If three US banks of this size all collapsed within a few months of one another like this it would be front page news. China looks to be at risk for a serious banking/financial crises... or already in one.

| My dad wants me to wait til the next market crash to begin investing? Posted: 08 Aug 2019 10:14 AM PDT I just turned 18 and I've got some money to invest, but he says I should avoid investing much until the next crash. Is this good advice? I feel like trying to time the market like that is a bad idea, at least when I'm playing the long game... [link] [comments]  |

| Hedging against higher mortgage rates Posted: 09 Aug 2019 02:34 AM PDT Hi everyone! My wife and I are living in Switzerland and are considering buying an apartment. Real estate is crazy expensive because the system is designed in such a way that you never pay back more than 34% of your mortgage (I mean, you can but you don't have to and it doesn't make sense for fiscal reasons). Mortgage rates are very very low at the moment: we are talking less than 1% a year for a fix 10 years mortgage. The "interest only" system is therefore very attractive: if your mortgage is 1.2 million, with 1% interest, then you are only paying 1000 a month. My issue is: what happens after 10 years, at the end of the mortgage contract? Let's assume that rates go back to a more normal level, let's say 3%. Since the mortgage is not amortized, the monthly payments increase by a factor 3, which would make refinancing difficult. In addition if we take a longer mortgage, let's say 25 years at 1.5%, I don't really trust the bank to uphold the contract if 10 years from now, rates are at 3-4%: they will use every opportunity in the contract to call back the mortgage. So I want to be ready for higher interest rates, as if the mortgage was with variable interest rates. Which leads to my question: What is the best way to hedge against potential higher mortgage rates in the future? I am willing to lose a little money every year for "insurance" if in the case of a high increase in interest rate, I win big. Should I simply buy puts on a swiss bonds ETF? Is there a better option (no pun intended)? Thanks for your feedback! [link] [comments]  |

| Robinhood gets approval to launch its popular investing app in the UK Posted: 08 Aug 2019 04:36 AM PDT Robinhood has been granted broker authorization from the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority. It's been building out a team in London led by former TransferWise executive Wander Rutgers. Recently valued by investors at $7.6 billion, the company claims to have 6 million users in total.

| So who here is tracking the cannabis industry, what are your thoughts? Posted: 08 Aug 2019 05:52 PM PDT Im looking into CGC and some others in the watchlist, ACB.

| Posted: 08 Aug 2019 03:57 PM PDT Been buying silver stocks for the past year or so. the Silver to Gold cost ratio right now is higher then it was at the peak of the recession, and is about 50% above the 20 year average, at over 90 to 1. It hasn't been this high since the gulf war.... Silver is poised to make breakout soon. https://imgur.com/msGtZOF. Just the past year for me. Expecting even more of a breakout. [link] [comments]  |
| Would you feel headcount turnover in specific functions would be a useful report included in a 10k? Posted: 09 Aug 2019 01:04 AM PDT https://www.wsj.com/articles/uber-posts-its-largest-ever-quarterly-loss-11565295373?mod=mhp Reading over Uber's loss this evening, the thought occurred to me of what if there were metrics reported out around head count turnover in management and R&D functions? With how IP driven tech companies are, do you think it be useful to know if pre-IPO engineers and managers are jumping ship post-IPO or staying on? [link] [comments]  |
| Questions... re: earnings and indicators... Posted: 09 Aug 2019 04:23 AM PDT Earnings: I just read a story that in this quarter over 70% of companies reported earnings that beat estimates. Yet, EPS don't seem to matter in terms of sentiment because guidance, QoQ, YoY determine how much the stock moves after earnings ate reported. So, why even look at EPS? It's obvious that analysts are underestimating them. The number is meaningless, especially with companies that are losing money, but still have good momentum. Indicators: Where can I find studies that report how accurate indicators are at prediction? How accurate does an indicator need to be in order for it to be considered "accurate", like a 50% correlation, a 20% correlation? I'm not interested in specific indicators for specific stocks, but generally. For example, how often does a double top predict s bearish turn? Also, is a double top a self-fulfilling prophesy? When people see a double top do they all start to sell thereby causing the prediction to happen? [link] [comments]  |
| Why is lending still encouraged so much (with low interest rates) after the credit crash? Posted: 09 Aug 2019 04:22 AM PDT I understand that the interest rates were lowered in order to spur on the economy and recover from the crisis, but wasn't cheap credit one of the main factors in the crash, and won't this behaviour lead to another? Are levels of national debt so beyond repair that we will be stuck in a cycle of crisis after crisis until some form of global default brings people to their knees? How bad would that be?

| How does an FX broker make money? Posted: 09 Aug 2019 04:04 AM PDT When we open accounts and deposit funds, we can use them to open positions in the market. There are people who are telling me my broker wants me to be successful, so they can keep earning commissions. But does it really work like that? My broker charges commissions only on withdrawals, spreads are tight and swaps can actually give me more money just for keeping position open. Therefore my question is - do they really want me to succeed? Because it feels like they want me to fail and they make money from people losing their deposits. When i'm successful in the market and withdraw, it's my broker that is losing money. Or am I missing something? [link] [comments]  |
| Why has the market done so good in the last 10 years? Posted: 09 Aug 2019 03:51 AM PDT Looking at the S&P 500 graph over the last 10 years is insane (it went up like 4x). Why has the market done so good? Have we achieved superb efficiency as society? It feels huge tech companies (FB, Alphabet, Apple, Amazon) can't fail at all (which is a bad sign). But they have little or none debt at all, so how could they possibly fail? I am a total noob and I am scratching my head looking at previous recessions and trying to understand just a little about economy. It's total magic. What will cause another recession? Only debt can, right? But biggest companies don't have that much of debt. Do ordinary people do? I am going insane. [link] [comments]  |
| Stock Market Investing Simulator? Posted: 08 Aug 2019 09:31 PM PDT Hi All! I read that for most investors in the stock market, it's best to just put X amount of money into an ETF consistently over a long period of time. I was planning to start with about $5,000 on the last day of each month, for 36 months. I dont' really have the time, knowledge, or experience to buy individual stocks, so I just wanted to buy ETFs such as VOO, SPY, etc. Every month for 36 months. Before I did this, I wanted to see how I would've done in the past. Had I started in 2007 for example, how I would be doing today. Is there any investing simulator which allows me to plug in $5000 worth of shares of particular ETF from X date to Y Date over a 36 month period to see how I would've done? [link] [comments]  |
| Why do investors buy negative-yield bonds? Posted: 09 Aug 2019 03:03 AM PDT To my understanding, bond yield is negative when the market price of bond is so high that it exceeds the present value of the bond. Then what is the point of buying a bond that guarantees a loss? Why don't investors just park the money? [link] [comments]  |

| Comparing Total Equity Value to Enterprise Value Posted: 08 Aug 2019 10:55 PM PDT If Enterprise Value is what an investor would pay to acquire the whole company, does it make sense when projecting future cash flow at net present value to compare it to the enterprise value to estimate whether an investment is worth? Intuitively it makes sense to me since my investment return is simply the future FCF discounted to present value compared to my initial investment which is the Enterprise value. Is this the wrong way to look at it? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
