    Greece issues negative yielding debt for the first time

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 12:07 PM PDT

    Apologies if there are paywall issues. TL;DR: Greece issued €487.5 million worth of three month bonds yielding -0.02%.

    It's obviously a short duration, but still a watershed moment.

    ELI5: Why isn't 0% interest rate a "magic number"?

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 07:09 PM PDT

    I keep hearing that the "magic number" for interest rates (for bonds, money market, etc) is inflation, because if the rate is above inflation your buying power goes up over time, and if it's below inflation your buying power goes down. So I get that inflation is a magic number.

    But isn't 0 a magic number too because you can just hold cash whenever you want? That means anyone, at any time, for any length of time, cancellable at any time, can have a 0% 'bond' just by stashing money. If the going rates for bonds and savings accounts are negative, you'll have to pay a bit for a bank to hold the money for you, so maybe the magic number is a little bit below 0, but it should be close right?

    I hear negative bonds are all over Europe and Greece just started issuing them recently. I can't comprehend this. Explain how this 0 isn't significant plz. In small words.

    The OECD proposes new rules to eliminate tax advantages of international income shifting

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 06:28 PM PDT

    full text of proposals (pdf)

    BBC says:

    The OECD's proposal includes new rules on where tax should be paid and on the proportion of their profits that should be taxed in each country.

    The OECD is an organisation whose members are mainly rich countries, although its work on corporate tax brings in a much wider group, a total of 134 countries and jurisdictions.

    The OECD proposals would need to be agreed by governments to come into force. The international organisation has launched a public consultation.

    Bloomberg says:

    The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development proposed a "unified approach" to countries haggling over how to allocate taxing rights.

    It merges competing proposals that had divided countries, with some wanting to single out digital companies and others aiming at a broader target.

    The compromise put forward Wednesday is just one element in a negotiation that Group of 20 economies say they aim to conclude by the end of 2020. To meet that, the OECD said there'll need to be agreement on its unified approach by January.

    Ubisoft. -25% in 3 months

    Posted: 10 Oct 2019 04:48 AM PDT

    Hey all,

    I know that the latest Ubisoft game is not amazing and won't be making a huge profit. But the UBI financials are strong and there is no news why the stock dropped 25% in the last 3 months?

    Any ideas why?

    Graphs showing number of daily recession headlines vs sp500 from 2008-2019, is it a self-fulfilling prophecy or not?

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 07:25 AM PDT

    Some while back I shared a dashboard showing (rolling) average of headlines mentioning 'recession' (and other terms) as percentage of total financial headlines. This to see whether an increase in negative news is a self-fulfilling prophecy or not. With feedback of this subreddit I improved the visualization. (Dashboard available at http://recession-sentiment.herokuapp.com/ )

    The main suggestion from this subreddit on this dashboard was to extend the historical period. By running through old datasets I was able extend the dataset (although not with as many sources as more recent data). Additionally the values are shown as deviation from longer term rolling average, in order to wee whether exposure is above (red) or below (grey) average. This shows some interesting results, which can be seen from the dashboard.

    Moreover I added the option to slice through dates in order to zoom in to periods. Interestingly fear of a recession was at its highest before markets collapsed in 2008. Anyhow I also some other terms in order to see how news exposure evolves over time. Any feedback is more than welcome.

    DCA with ETF?

    Posted: 10 Oct 2019 12:00 AM PDT

    So now that all the big guys offer $0 commission, is it cost effective to DCA ETFs? I understand the issue with buying whole shares may not always come out to nice even numbers, but what are your thoughts?

    And has anyone set up auto trading to buy ETFs with Fidelity?

    Acceptable "Bond" choices for portfolio

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 12:04 PM PDT

    I've been investing seriously for about 10 years and I've basically been 100% stocks over that time (not including some real estate). I'm getting older, and the market is looking a bit shakier, so for the first time a month or so ago I starting to move some money out of stocks.

    I know that a basic principle is to keep some percentage in bonds and rebalance periodically, taking advantage of market movements. My question is: what are reasonable choices for that "bond" portion? Currently I'm just using SPAXX (Fidelity default core position) -- which is a government money market with a yield between 1% and 2% and a seemingly rock-solid price. I've considered things like BND, which yields closer to 3%, but also has significant price fluctuation... which is... good? bad? Looks like it's done well in the past vs. S&P fluctuations. Is that solid enough? Should I be buying bonds directly? Or something else?

    What is the difference between $MORL and $MRRL?

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 03:38 PM PDT

    It seems like they are in all respects they exact same except for share price. They have the same holdings and such—what's causing the discrepancy?

    WeWork is not actually doing anything to cut costs.

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 09:19 PM PDT

    Friend of mine works for a company that has an office in a WeWork. I mentioned to them if they saw the articles about the situation at WeWork, and the cost cutting measures they must endure. They laughed and said "what cost cuts?". Apparently they have free beer on tap for the offices, and regularly have events like "pizza day" where they just order pizza for the entire facility. There is no way this company is actually doing anything about cost cuts. I would assume they do this to make clients happy and keep them paying rent. There is also another location opening up in one of the more high end areas of my city. I can only imagine how badly they will wine and dine their customers to make them stay.

    Adobe?

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 11:31 AM PDT

    I've been researching a few stocks to invest in. Adobe is one of them, at the moment I'm still on the fence with them. So I had a couple of questions.

    During the past year a lot of adobe 'insiders' (basically higher ups at adobe or board members) have sold adobe's stock, what could that mean?

    Or just give me reasons to NOT invest in adobe.

    Dividend vs High savings bank account

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 08:07 PM PDT

    So I currently have some money parked in my Wealthfront account which has a 2.07% APY

    I was thinking of moving money from that to my Robinhood account and investing in something like "GAIN" for a monthly dividend yield of 6.66% which is about $.07-$.09 per share. Has a strong growth in 180 day chart and good paying dividend history.

    I'm still somewhat new to investing and trying to learn and do as much as I can at the age of 21 (Wish I started at 18). I do know that the power of Compound interest is really nice, which is interest ontop of interest. When you dividend invest is it pretty much the same as compound interest? and would Dividend investing be better than parking money (other then your three - six month emergency funds) than a high interest savings account?

    Discount rate and net present value calculations

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 01:57 PM PDT

    Hello,

    Is there a good basic book on how to find the right discount rate for an equity and on how to calculte the net present value using Excel? I followed an online course (for free) on how to do this but it was going a bit fast so I feel like I need more guidance before doing it myself.

    Thanks!

    MSCI world etf as core of your portfolio?

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 11:53 AM PDT

    Pros, cons? Seems pretty solid to me if you're reasonably young and as long as the economy doesn't tank.

    What do you think?
