| Instead of investing, why not just take a public speaking class and start a "tech" company? Posted: 28 Sep 2019 06:39 PM PDT I'm witnessing all of these crappy "tech" companies getting billions in funding off of ideas and business models that my 9 year old daughter can come up with. Wag (a dog walking company) got $300m in funding, Wework (a real estate company pretending to be tech) once was valued at $47b, Theranos got $10b without having an actual product etc. I What I'm noticing is that in the world of investment funding the old adage that "talk is cheap" isn't true. In fact, talking can get you billions in funding. What all those crappy, scammy, companies above had in common were charismatic CEOs who knew how to grab attention with their words. Adam Neumann was the best of the them. Yesterday I watched an interview he did a few months ago, and despite knowing that Wework is basically a scam and Adam is full of shit, I still felt inspired and moved by the way Adam was explaining things. I almost wanted all the bad stories about him and the company to be lies! I finally understood how he made one of the oldest businesses in world history (landlording) seem like the wave of the future. I'm starting to think I'm wasting my time investing. I feel like I can do better by taking a public speaking class and starting a tech company. It doesn't matter what the service is, as long as it has an app I can use the talking skills I've learned to get a VC firm or IB to fund me 9 figures. Once the company gets a nice valuation, I'll start acting erratically so that I can get removed as CEO which will then give me an excuse to cash out. What do you think? [link] [comments]  |
| U.S. Treasury Says No Plans to Block Chinese Listings ‘at This Time’ Posted: 28 Sep 2019 04:15 PM PDT A U.S. Treasury official said there are no current plans to stop Chinese companies from listing on U.S. exchanges, a day after a report that the Trump administration is discussing ways to limit U.S. investors' portfolio flows into China. "The administration is not contemplating blocking Chinese companies from listing shares on U.S. stock exchanges at this time," Treasury spokeswoman Monica Crowley said in an emailed statement on Saturday. Other potential measures include limiting Americans' exposure to the Chinese market through government pension funds, and ways to put caps on the Chinese companies included in stock indexes managed by U.S. firms, according to people familiar with and involved in the discussions. Crowley's statement didn't address or rule out any of those possibilities. [link] [comments]  |
| 100s of Saudi Soldiers captured by Houthi Rebels Posted: 28 Sep 2019 04:34 PM PDT https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-49866677 If this turns out to be true, we may be looking at more increases in oil prices. The situation does seem to escalate quite a bit, with the US also deploying troops and machinery. Any of you invested in oil? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Sep 2019 01:42 AM PDT Hello! I am 19 years old and i'm looking into investing and educating myself about the stock market, finances etc. Set AT&T stock for an example (NASDAQ Quotes). Share price is 37.43$ Current dividend yield is 5.46% Annualized dividend is 2.04$ If I theoretically invest 5000$ into this stock, with the specifications above, is the quarterly dividend payout 278.51$? Meaning that the yearly dividend payout would be 1,114.04$? [link] [comments]  |
| How to make your money work for you in Japan? Posted: 29 Sep 2019 12:37 AM PDT I hear a lot of doom and gloom about the Japanese real estate market, so that's a no. I've also read that japanese companies are so monumentally inefficient that it's not worth investing in them. My accountant back home said it's best to keep your resources where you live. Well, we now live in Japan and would appreciate any informed advice on what the best investment options are here. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Sep 2019 06:13 PM PDT As title. I'm new here and in my very first steps of picking up these concepts. If Index Fund in long term beats any other actively managed funds, why do people still invest in managed funds? Wouldn't a diversified portfolio of index funds a better investment?

| Posted: 29 Sep 2019 03:02 AM PDT Hey people, Once the Trump era is (possibly) over, by whatever means, do you think it could lead to an upturn in emerging markets? Specifically from an index fund point of view and/or particular country trade deals, for example. If so, what would those reasons be? I imagine I am seeing this too simplisticly so am looking for some specialist insight. Thanks [link] [comments]  |
| Recommend two books on retirement planning Posted: 28 Sep 2019 03:12 PM PDT For the sake of this exercise, let's assume I know the most basic differences between class A and class C mutual funds (or insert some other better indicator here), but that's the limit. Let's also assume I don't want to work my way painfully through investopedia or bogleheads or the wiki here, but would like some sort of guided journey that assumes I'm am adult thinking person with a college degree or equivalent to guide me through 1) the basic arena of planning and decision-making, then 2) do a more advanced, complete dive. Suggestions? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Sep 2019 10:29 PM PDT So apparently, the world's supply of Helium is non-renewable. Which means that it is limited. With the current usage of Helium right now, it could run out in 25 to 30 years. With that being said, is it a smart idea to invest in Helium? [link] [comments]  |

| Manage my own portfolio but IRA is actively managed. Posted: 28 Sep 2019 10:00 PM PDT I'm 33 years old living in the U.S. and I currently have $15k in a Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Admiral Fund. My goal is for long-term growth and I put about $75 in per week. I also have an IRA worth $15k that is managed by a Financial Firm that carried over from my last job. Now that I've gotten experience managing my own investments, I want to roll my IRA into Vanguard and control 100% of my money. Since I'm a devout VTSAX investor at this stage in my life, I'm thinking about taking control of my IRA and reallocating all of it in VTSAX. Does it make sense to have VTSAX in both a separate account AND an IRA? Or does it make sense to use the IRA to test out the waters with some other diversified index funds and some individual stocks?

| Is there validity to a dividend focused portfolio? Posted: 28 Sep 2019 09:03 AM PDT Like a lot of people, I'm enamored with the idea of passive income. To get moderate dividend checks every month seems like a psychologically rewarding experience but is there actual validity to constructing such a portfolio? In other words, if you had to choose the focus of your main portfolio between dividends, growth equities, or indexes, what would you choose? Is there additional value in creating a dividend portfolio besides feeling good when you see your account rewarded with dividends? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Sep 2019 01:04 AM PDT Hi, I am coming from EU and I recently started investing (long term, 15 to 30 years horizon). The initial capital is around 15k and then i plan to add annually around 10k or so. I started with Degiro but I think I should diversify probably... Since the amount is small I need something with low fees but also safe in the long term. Any advice? Thanks [link] [comments]  |
| Reddit, what is the /r/investing starterpack? Posted: 28 Sep 2019 06:56 PM PDT This isn't an advice post per-se. But I was wondering what the starterpack for an /r/investing user looks like. These include:

| Posted: 29 Sep 2019 12:33 AM PDT Here is an article about it. It seems like something that can potentially be very profitable. So what type of research should I be doing to figure out how I, $50 thousand dollar a year salary Joe Blow can make money off of this. I see private companies like this all the time and would love to be able to figure put how to invest in it in some capacity. [link] [comments]  |
| Bond Funds eligible for CA Tax Exemptions Posted: 28 Sep 2019 06:13 PM PDT Does anyone know of any diversified total bond fund ETFs that are eligible for at least some California tax breaks, or how to tell if a fund is eligible? In CA, interest can only be excluded from tax if at least 50% of fund assets are bonds considered "tax-free for California purposes" but how do you tell if a fund passes this test? I'm not looking for munis or treasury funds, but for more diversified funds that pass the 50% test. For example, take BND (Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF). Does it pass the test?Today, it holds

| Those of you that are 100% stocks, why not 120% or more? Posted: 28 Sep 2019 09:53 AM PDT Warren Buffet has a leverage of about 1.6x in his stocks exposure (via the insurance underwriting). While I understand someone who wants less than 100% stocks exposure, if you're already at 100% why treat that as a ceiling? These days access to cheap leveraged exposure is plentiful via leveraged ETFs. In short, if 100% is okay why not 105%? Or 120%? Or even 200%? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Sep 2019 07:56 PM PDT Apologies if I'm a little native here.. I've been browsing this sub and getting some ideas about where I should invest. I know Ameritrade is one of the most recommended. I already bank at TD, and I was curious if I would be entitled to any sort of loyalty perks if I were to invest with TD Ameritrade.
