Daily Advice Thread - All basic help or advice questions must be posted here. Posted: 22 Oct 2019 05:09 AM PDT 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.

High prices drove US home sales down 2.2% in September Posted: 22 Oct 2019 07:27 AM PDT https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/high-prices-drove-us-home-sales-down-22percent-in-september/2019/10/22/85f8523c-f4d6-11e9-b2d2-1f37c9d82dbb_story.html The National Association of Realtors says that homes sold last month declined at a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 5.38 million units, ending two months of sales gains. Existing-home sales are up 3.9% from a year ago, but September's stumble shows the limits of the boost that declining mortgage rates had been providing. submitted by /u/MrCrickets [link] [comments]

Yield Curve Question Posted: 22 Oct 2019 06:22 PM PDT Hi all! This is probably a dumb question, so bear with me. So, I know that according to the yield curve, as the time to maturity increases, as does the yield to maturity. However, I also know that an increase in the interest rate causes a decrease in the present value of a bond over longer time horizons. What would be the purpose, then, to invest in long-term loans if the present value will just be lower? Doesn't the yield = interest rate? If it's higher, wouldn't that be a bad thing, not a good thing? Why are higher yields more "attractive" for long-term bonds? Thanks! submitted by /u/yogurtcrotch [link] [comments]

Any books on ancient/premodern economies? Posted: 22 Oct 2019 01:13 PM PDT With all these posts about recession this and that, I got to thinking about data sets and approaches to economic development, market development etc and it made me wonder if there's any books that are good reads on the topic of ancient economies or maybe even just pre-modern economies. Like, what approach did the ancient Egyptians, Romans, assorted Chinese dynasties and such take? Any books that cover this well? Maybe something that gives a greater idea of the historical economic approaches and some history about where modern economic theories/practices stem from? I've seen this covered elsewhere briefly, would love to take a full deeper dive into it. submitted by /u/luislovesmoney [link] [comments]

How to exercise the option in stock simulator? Posted: 22 Oct 2019 01:57 PM PDT Ok, this is will be a rookie question, but.. how do I exercise the option? I never traded options, so I started a fake portfolio in Investopedia stock simulator to see how it works "in practice". Again, not real money, just a simulator. On Friday when Peleton (PTON) was trading at $24.30 I bought 5 PUT contracts with the strike $22 for $0.80 each. I paid $400+fees in the process. Today PTON is trading for $21.16 and I want to exercise them. If my math is correct I should be paid around (22-21.16)*500=$420. I just want to exercise this options for education purposes. I want to see that it works. Can you help me out? This is how I see it: https://i.ibb.co/ZJ9mQJP/option.png The only option I see is the "Sell" link. It sounds like Selling the option itself, instead of exercising it. This is what I see after clicking it: https://i.ibb.co/pWhn9rg/option2.png Can someone help me out, how do I exercise the option in this stock simulator? Thanks! submitted by /u/IshThomas [link] [comments]

need some feedback!! Posted: 22 Oct 2019 04:23 PM PDT HI! I'm pretty new to the stock market and currently in the process of setting up a long term portfolio. The one thing that is holding me back is most companies I want to buy shares of. Are at a high and basically the whole market is at a high. Would it be the best bet to wait for a market correction to get the companies I want for a lower price even though I will be holding for years. Thanks!! submitted by /u/PastPressure [link] [comments]

Does an indexed universal life insurance policy beat an index fund? Posted: 22 Oct 2019 03:36 PM PDT This article claims that investing in an indexed universal life policy is essentially guaranteed to beat an index fund. To me it doesn't pass the sniff test.

When calculating beta using covariance & variance, is it considered unlevered or levered? Posted: 22 Oct 2019 06:21 AM PDT Maybe this is a dumb question, but I'm in an investing class right now and I'm trying to recalculate beta myself instead of using factset data. Specifically, because we are looking at S&P 400 mid-cap industries, I am taking the beta of the industry vs the S&P 1500 composite as a whole. Basically I'm doing: Covariance(S&P400 Industry, S&P1500 Index)/Var(S&P1500 Index) I get reasonable betas, but my question is: Is this considered unlevered or levered? Since my beta is based on market prices, which are theoretically supposed to include all knowledge about debt/equity (according to the theory of efficient markets), would this be considered levered? Edit: If it matters, I am using total return data from factset, NOT just price-return submitted by /u/tharussianphil [link] [comments]
