    Stock Market - The dollar is stronger than ever and that’s a warning sign for the stock market


    The dollar is stronger than ever and that’s a warning sign for the stock market

    Posted: 14 Oct 2019 03:08 PM PDT

    With so many conflicting signals about markets, the economy in the U.S. and abroad, the impact of the China-U.S. trade war, and more, what's an investor to think?

    Through all the noise, there's one measure that bears watching. Even investors who don't trade currencies should pay attention to the strength of the U.S. dollar, according to a note out Monday. That's because while the strong dollar has a lot of effects, its cause, at least right now, is that investors around the world are skittish.

    Normally when the greenback gets this strong, something gives, and other currencies start to strengthen, observed Nicholas Colas, co-founder of DataTrek Research. "If they don't, it means something is very different this time around. And 'different' in this case probably doesn't mean 'good' when it comes to investor risk appetites," he said.

    The World Loses $400 Billion of Food Before It Reaches Stores

    Posted: 14 Oct 2019 12:41 PM PDT

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-10-14/the-world-loses-400-billion-of-food-before-it-reaches-stores

    The world loses about $400 billion of food before it even gets delivered to stores, according to the United Nations.

    Some 14% of all food produced is lost annually, with central and southern Asia, North America and Europe accounting for the biggest shares, the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization said in a report, citing the latest data as of 2016. Better cold storage and infrastructure would help reduce losses, but more detailed data on the supply chain is needed to tackle the problem, it said.

    Posted: 14 Oct 2019 07:54 PM PDT

    (Bloomberg) -- Investors haven't been this bearish since the collapse of Lehman Brothers. At least that's what their positioning is signaling, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch strategists.

    Who/which platform do you use for your international trades

    Posted: 14 Oct 2019 03:33 AM PDT

    I'm in Australia, I'd like exposure to NASDAQ/ NYSE and the Chinese and Hongkong markets.

    Maybe a few other main markets in time.

    My banks fees are insane, not to mention conversion rates terrible and general consesus is to use an online trade account like saxo.

    So how does everyone do their international trades?

    Dumb add on question, How/when is the currency converted also?

    2 GEM Stocks To Watch After Gaining Strong Momentum On Monday

    Posted: 14 Oct 2019 07:13 PM PDT

    It has been a strong start for stocks in both Hong Kong and mainland China this year. While many analysts don't expect the final quarter to be sizzling for large cap stocks because of weaker sentiments, we might want to have a look at the micro-cap stocks that are performing well today. To put things in context, 7 out of 10 top gainers are from GEM board (at the time of closing). For the uninitiated, the GEM board, also known as the Growth Enterprise Market, is a board on the Hong Kong stock exchange for growth companies that do not meet the main board's listing requirements.

    The attractive part about investing in micro-cap stocks is that when there is a surge in the price of the stock, the returns can be enormous in percentage terms. A price surge as little as HKD 0.02 can translate to decent gains. Having said that, we have to note that thinly traded GEM stocks can create an illusion of high returns when there are only a few transactions per day. As such, we have filtered out those stocks and are only providing coverage for GEM stocks with significant trading volume....

    5 prominent U.S. companies are most at fault for the earnings recession

    Posted: 14 Oct 2019 05:34 PM PDT

    https://www.marketwatch.com/story/5-prominent-us-companies-are-most-at-fault-for-the-earnings-recession-2019-10-14

    Financial results from the calendar second quarter showed earnings for S&P 500 SPX-0.14% components falling for the second consecutive quarter, a trend referred to as an earnings recession. Profits dropped 0.35% in the second quarter, based on companies that were in the index as of the end of the previous earnings season, following a 0.29% decline in the first quarter.

    A MarketWatch analysis of FactSet data found that five large companies were the biggest contributors to the earnings recession across the first half of the year: Apple Inc. AAPL-0.14% , Boeing Co. BA-0.46% Exxon Mobil Corp. XOM+0.29% Facebook Inc. FB-0.49% and Micron Technology Inc. MU-0.53% . The reasons for each company's profit downturn vary, suggesting that the earnings recession cannot be blamed on any one trend that stretches across sectors.

    Consumers are the most optimistic about their incomes in 20 years.

    Posted: 14 Oct 2019 05:31 PM PDT

    Inflation is expected to be low and nominal wage growth is expected to be high. This explains the chart below which shows the net percentage of consumers expecting their real incomes to rise in the next year reached the highest point in 20 years.

    Optimism on real income

    In September, average weekly wage growth was 2.6% which is higher than inflation. Real wage growth has been strong this year especially for production and non-supervisory workers. It shouldn't be a shock that consumers care more about real incomes than news about the trade war, politics, or the GM strike.

    The GM strike was negatively mentioned by 5% of people. Investors worry the GM strike signals a recession is coming based on the timing of the strikes in the last two cycles. It's logical for there to be a strike at the end of the cycle because it's when sales dwindle, but wage growth is strong. Workers want a competitive wage, but GM can't pay up because sales are starting to weaken. At most, this is a negative signal. It's not big enough to catalyze a recession.

    How well does premarket data predict the rest of the day's trading?

    Posted: 14 Oct 2019 03:24 AM PDT

    Is there anyone who takes note of the premarket data and how well that predicts or correlates to the rest of the day? For example how many days premarket data shows red and it ends a red day or vice versa? I was looking for this, but couldn't find any stats. I'm sure there's a 50/50 correlation, but surprised the data isn't readily available.

    I'm trying to understand why leveraged ETF's are so dangerous

    Posted: 14 Oct 2019 08:51 AM PDT

    My understanding right now is that they are dangerous because leveraged etfs try to match and multiply the rate of change rather than the dollar value of the account. For example if you have 100 dollars in an account and the unleveraged etf goes up to $150, it's rate of increase is 50% so a 3x leveraged etf would give you a 150% increase, leaving you with $250. If that same etf were then to drop back to $100, it technically broke even, but the rate of decrease is 33% if you triple that you lost 100% of your account balance in the leveraged etf. Is this the proper way of looking at it?

    I have an individual HSA I put money in every month. Is this a good medium to buy stocks?

    Posted: 14 Oct 2019 10:45 AM PDT

    Like the title states, I have an individual HSA I put money in every month. I treat my HSA as a long term investment. I have an emergency fund I would use if I needed to cover medical bills.

    There are no commission fees.

    Is this an effective way to use this to buy stock, or is there a better option?
