| r/Stocks Daily Discussion & Fundamentals Friday Aug 09, 2019 Posted: 09 Aug 2019 01:08 AM PDT This is the daily discussion, so anything stocks related is fine, but the theme for today is on fundamentals, but if fundamentals aren't your thing then just ignore the theme and/or post your arguments against fundamentals here and not in the current post. Some helpful day to day links, including news:
Most fundamentals are updated every 3 months due to the fact that corporations release earnings reports every quarter, so traders are always speculating at what those earnings will say, and investors may change the size of their holdings based on those reports. Expect a lot of volatility around earnings, but it usually doesn't matter if you're holding long term, but keep in mind the importance of earnings reports because a trend of declining earnings or a decline in some other fundamental will drive the stock down over the long term as well. See the following word cloud and click through for the wiki: If you have a basic question, for example "what is EBITDA," then google "investopedia EBITDA" and click the Investopedia article on it; do this for everything until you have a more in depth question or just want to share what you learned. Useful links:

| Posted: 08 Aug 2019 10:40 PM PDT That would imply the more profitable consumer cyber safety division (that generated $1.1 billion cash) is worth only $6 billion. This is not a recommendation to buy or sell. Stocks are not suitable for everybody. Please do your own research. https://www.fool.com/investing/2019/08/08/why-symantec-stock-popped-115-today.aspx [link] [comments]  |
| Most Anticipated Earnings Releases for the week beginning August 12th, 2019 Posted: 09 Aug 2019 04:13 AM PDT Here are the most notable earnings releases for the trading week beginning August 12th, 2019.

| Posted: 09 Aug 2019 10:34 AM PDT I'm looking to invest in more ETFs, right now the only one I have anything in is TAN. What do you all recommend? [link] [comments]  |
| I sincerely want to get better at trading. What should be my next step? Posted: 09 Aug 2019 11:20 AM PDT I'm pretty decent with my buy and hold strategy, and I can swing trade reasonably well too (except a couple of emotional slip ups). I've been actively trading for a few years now, but I am yet to try to turn it into a real source of income, and I'd like to. I've been devoting some time every night to reading trading books, and I watch charts throughout the day. I have a job that allows me to come in around noon, so I'm thinking of trading in a simulator the next few months every morning, and see how I do (and how much I can learn). Any other advice?

| Which small cap tech companies have the potential to be bought out in the next couple of years? Posted: 09 Aug 2019 09:36 AM PDT There are many innovative small cap companies that are not well known. These guys are typically trying to grow into something big or wait from someone to write them a fat check for their resources. Which ones should we be keeping an eye on? [link] [comments]  |
| Best ways to capitalize on company ESPP programs Posted: 09 Aug 2019 09:31 AM PDT My company allows me to allocate up to 10% of my salary into an ESPP program where at the end of every quarter I can buy our stock at a 15% discount and there is no fixed holding period before it can be sold - typically I sell the shares within the same week as receiving them and always net at least 15% ROI so it has been a no-brainer to participate in the program. Up to this point I've been using the ESPP earnings to pay down my student loans but now that they're practically paid off (less than $2,000 remaining), I'm looking at new ways to reinvest the ESPP since I don't really need the cash on hand. One possible thought is saving the money up in a low-interest savings account to use to get a bigger house in 3-5 years. Another thought is taking the earnings and reinvesting them into an S&P500 index fund once a quarter but doing this means I'll ultimately get taxed twice (which may not be a big deal). How do you guys use your ESPP's? Is there any disadvantage in reinvesting the money into just a plain old S&P 500 ETF? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Aug 2019 08:26 AM PDT Did anybody else know about this? Apparently 11 peoples lives determine whether the SPY 500 will continue. I'm not the best when it comes to stocks so this might be just fluff. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Aug 2019 11:41 AM PDT I was wondering what the consensus is on AMRN? I have been following and holding this stock for the past few weeks and it has been on a free fall. With the additional stock offering, and now the advisory panel being brought on for approval I feel like this hold has just turned a lot riskier. [link] [comments]  |
| You’re investing in just TWO stocks for your retirement, which do you choose and why? Posted: 09 Aug 2019 09:38 AM PDT I'm just brainstorming good long-term companies I may not have been aware of. I've been really interested in RedHat Linux because that's an industry I see growing tremendously, but they have been bought by IBM which has been downtrending since 2011! Which two companies would you choose? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Aug 2019 11:06 AM PDT Yesterday at 4:30(EST) Asure Software announced their second quarterly earnings reports, just after market hours. But at around 4:00, shares took a tumble. Then during the conference call Asure announced that they had beat expected projections and exceeded revenue goals. However, ASUR took another dip during pre-market hours this morning, and has been on the decline all day. Does anyone else follow ASUR, or can explain how a stock can drop so drastically (>30%) in one day's time after a seemingly successful quarter? Now would seem like the best time to purchase stock, not sell it. What am I missing? [link] [comments]  |
| Thoughts on NVDA for a short term investment? Posted: 09 Aug 2019 07:51 AM PDT I just picked up 10 shares at $150.40 two days ago and I was wondering what you guys have to say about holding them as a short term investment around 1ish month at the most. [link] [comments]  |
| What debt/equity ratio do you guys go for? Posted: 09 Aug 2019 07:11 AM PDT |
| What assets are overly protected by policies that are unlikely to remain intact? Posted: 09 Aug 2019 01:46 PM PDT What assets/stocks are being unfairly inflated because of central banks? Are these the most inflated of the bubble? Do we expect them to pop? [link] [comments]  |
| Any software other than TC2000 offer Market Scan based off custom scripts? Posted: 09 Aug 2019 11:59 AM PDT I really don't like TC2000's interface, it looks extremely outdated and just more confusing than it needs to be, but it has an amazing Scan feature where I can input scripts and automatically scan the entire market for stocks that fall into the scan categories.

| Posted: 09 Aug 2019 07:58 AM PDT Hi, Please look past my ignorance but I've always been interested in investing in the stock market on a long term basis and now have decided to take action. I'm aware that with stock trading there are lots of different online trading websites but I'm not quite sure on where I should start with long term investments. I get that it's possible to buy the stocks on the trading websites and just hold them there but for some reason that just doesn't sit well with me as it could be many years I keep them I don't trust the future of the websites enough. So where do I begin with long term? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 09 Aug 2019 07:27 AM PDT In the Aurora Discord room someone figured out that a green energy company - Potash America Corp (OTC:PTAM) - is entering the cannabis sector with some type of acquisition of merger. The CEO literally just released a filing that shows he now owns over 80% of the outstanding common shares of the company, and they just added a new section to their website that talks about Cannabis, and actively pursuing companies to invest in. This could be very big if it pans out. Here is the report from this morning. I found this most interesting actually...

| The Ed-Tech Buzz List (LRN, GAXY, AGTE, CECO) Posted: 09 Aug 2019 07:04 AM PDT K12 Inc. (NYSE:LRN) recently announced that students and teachers at Nevada Virtual Academy (NVVA) will begin the 2019-2020 school year on August 12, simply by turning on their computers. A full-time, accredited, online public charter school, NVVA provides a tuition-free public education for students in grades 6-12 across the state, and offers access to LRN's curriculum. 📷 "At NVVA, our goal is to help each student unlock their potential," said English teacher Marie Wiley. "Starting on the very first day of school, we work to make a personal connection with students and their families to discover what excites them about learning, so they can succeed in the virtual classroom and wherever they want to go next." K12 Inc. (NYSE:LRN) trumpets itself as a technology-based education company that, together with its subsidiaries, provides online curriculum, software systems, and educational services to facilitate individualized learning for students primarily in kindergarten through 12th grade in the United States and internationally. The company also offers curriculum and technology solutions for full-time virtual and blended programs; full-time virtual programs, semester courses, and supplemental educational products; teacher training, teaching, and other academic and technology support services to public schools, school districts, private schools, charter schools, early childhood learning centers, and corporate partners. In addition, it provides FuelEd suite of offerings, such as K12 curriculum, FuelEd online courses, and FuelEd anywhere learning systems; Middlebury interactive languages; Stride; and the Big Universe literacy solution. Further, the company operates online private schools, including The K12 International Academy, the George Washington University Online High School, and the Keystone School. Additionally, it provides access to the online lessons and curriculum through proprietary learning management system; learning kits; student computers; and management, technology, and educational services. The company sells individual K-8 online courses and supplemental educational products directly to families. K12 Inc. was founded in 2000 and is headquartered in Herndon, Virginia. K12 Inc. (NYSE:LRN) generated sales of $253.3M, according to information released in the company's most recent quarterly financial report. That adds up to a sequential quarter-over-quarter growth rate of -0.6% on the top line. In addition, the company has a strong balance sheet, with cash levels far exceeding current liabilities ($234M against $148.8M). Galaxy Next Generation Inc. (OTC:GAXY) is a provider of interactive learning technology solutions that allows the presenter and participant to engage in a fully collaborative instructional environment. 📷 The company just the signing of a letter of intent to acquire a west coast based audio company focused on creating innovative products that provide fundamental tools used for building notification systems. According to the release, the proposed acquisition is for a combination of cash and stock. The target company generated approximately $4 million in revenue through the twelve month period ending June 30, 2019. The targets products and services allow institutions access to intercom, scheduling and notification systems they use every day with improved ease of use. It provides an open architecture solution which allows its products to be used in many existing and new environments. Intercom, PA, Bell and control solutions are easily added and integrated with its first to market open architecture design and current software model. Its products combine elements not normally found together over a common IP network, which minimizes infrastructure requirements and reduces costs by combining systems. This strategy also places it at the forefront of school safety and communication. Gary LeCroy, Galaxys Chief Executive Officer, commented, We are excited to add innovative audio technology to our product suite, as it is something that our end customers, especially in the K-12 market segment have been demanding. This is evident by their strong revenue growth in the first half of 2019. We believe this is the first company to provide an open architecture solution that allows existing components to be used and to look beyond the space of intercom to extend capabilities of the system for other applications. The proposed acquisition also has 4 patents pending and expands our geographical footprint to the west coast. We are looking forward to advancing this transaction to the definitive stage and expect to close by the end of September. Galaxy does not control where resellers focus their resell efforts, although generally, the K-12 education market is the largest customer base for Galaxy products – comprising nearly 90% of Galaxy's sales. The company boasts a strong team, including its COO, who spent the majority of her young career at Mimio/Boxlight (NASDAQ:BOXL), a leader in the ed-tech and interactive display market. She performed many jobs at Mimio including, sales, federal programs director, and regional management. With a tiny float of just 1.5 million shares, GAXY is sitting in a strong pattern with a recent hold of a key trendline and a number of clear support levels. That may demonstrate strong accumulation present under the surface of the tape. Several indicators agree with the strong upside potential here. This is the most speculative idea in this list of compelling ed-tech stories, but it may also have the most upside room to run as a result. Adtalem Global Education Inc (NYSE:ATGE) provides educational services worldwide. The company has been building out its brain trust, just announcing that its board of directors has unanimously elected Lisa W. Wardell, 49, as chairman of the board, effective July 16, 2019. 📷 According to the release, Wardell, a director since 2008, will continue to serve as Adtalem's president and chief executive officer, a role she has held since May 2016.

Burke, 60, will remain chairman of the audit and finance committee. The company operates through three segments: Medical and Healthcare, Professional Education, and Technology and Business. The Medical and Healthcare segment operates Chamberlain University, which provides a pre-licensure bachelor's degree in nursing at 21 campus locations and post-licensure bachelor's, master's, and doctorate degree programs in nursing through its online platform; and operates medical and veterinary schools, including American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine, Ross University School of Medicine, and Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine.

Adtalem Global Education Inc. has a strategic alliance with Northeastern University's D'Amore-McKim School of Business. The stock has been on a rampage over the last few days after posting a stronger-than-expected quarter. Shares are now testing resistance at the 200-day MA. Career Education Corp. (NASDAQ:CECO) promulgates itself as a company that operates colleges, institutions, and universities that provide education to student population in various career-oriented disciplines through online, campus based, and blended learning programs in the United States. 📷 The company just announced Q2 earnings showing a 10.1% jump in revenues. The company's University Group saw total student enrollments grow at 5.4% It operates through three segments: Colorado Technical University, American InterContinental University, and All Other Campuses.

(NASDAQ:CECO) pulled in sales of $157.9M in its last reported quarterly financials, representing top line growth of 6.6%. In addition, the company has a strong balance sheet, with cash levels far exceeding current liabilities ($239.9M against $92.6M). [link] [comments]  |
| Investing Simulator which lets me put $5,000 into ETF every month over 36 months? Posted: 08 Aug 2019 09:21 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]  |
| Posted: 09 Aug 2019 05:56 AM PDT So, getting into options trading. What I've read is buying puts is a lot safer than buying calls. So, for example. BYND...why doesn't everyone just buy puts, with how it tumbles day over day? Wouldn't that be easy profit? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 Aug 2019 10:21 PM PDT sHoUlD i BuY bOeInG?¿ But seriously... Ya know, I was thinking. Why isn't Boeing more atrractive than it is? It's a company that is basically backed by the United States government. It's waaay off it's 52wk highs. It's too big to fail. So, why don't I see more people looking at it as a good deal? Or, is it a good deal? So someone please tell me why I'm wrong. Thanks Disclaimer: I'm 19 so I have the Stupid Question Pass. Edit: I forgot to mention the Max.. It's not a question of if it will ever fly again, but rather how many order delays or lost orders Boeing will experience, right? Is that why it's not attractive because of lost revenue?

| How to find daily top movers historical data? Posted: 08 Aug 2019 08:06 PM PDT Just wondering where i could find historical daily top movers/gainers/decliners list on U.S stock market? I know you could found today's top list on WSJ and other financial sites, but seems difficult to find past days. Thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 Aug 2019 09:34 PM PDT As somewhat of a newb to this space, I was hoping if there were some main metrics to look at for SaaS Cloud companies to judge the utility they provide to their customers. It seems that there is an enormous number companies out there offering all types of cloud services (everything from password protection to data analysis/visualization) and it's hard to determine which products are "nice to have" vs. what products are or will be game changers/essential. I feel like this is may be increasingly important issue given the current economic uncertainty. [link] [comments]  |
