    r/Stocks Daily Discussion & Options Trading Thursday - Oct 17, 2019

    Posted: 17 Oct 2019 01:06 AM PDT

    This is the daily discussion, so anything stocks related is fine, but the theme for today is on stock options, but if options aren't your thing then just ignore the theme and/or post your arguments against options here and not in the current post.

    Some helpful day to day links, including news:


    Required info to start understanding options:

    • Call option Investopedia video basically a call option allows you to buy 100 shares of a stock at a certain price (strike price), but without the obligation to buy
    • Put option Investopedia video a put option allows you to sell 100 shares of a stock at a certain price (strike price), but without the obligation to sell

    See the following word cloud and click through for the wiki:

    Call option - Put option - Exercising an option - Strike price - ITM - OTM - ATM - Long options - Short options - Combo - Debit - Credit or Premium - Covered call - Naked - Debit call spread - Credit call spread - Strangle - Iron condor - Vertical debit spreads - Iron Fly

    If you have a basic question, for example "what is delta," then google "investopedia delta" 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.

    https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-tesla/tesla-gets-approval-to-start-manufacturing-in-china-idUSKBN1WW0NM

    Tesla was added to a government list of approved automotive manufacturers, China's industry ministry said.

    It granted the electric-vehicle maker a certificate that it needs to start production in the country.

    The $2 billion factory it is building in the eastern Chinese city of Shanghai is its first car manufacturing site overseas.

    Netflix EPS of $1.47 beat guidance of $1.04 but $0.38 of that was accounted for by a once off non-cash item that should be ignored

    Posted: 16 Oct 2019 10:30 PM PDT

    As you would expect, a $171 million (or $0.38 per share) unrealized foreign exchange gain on Euro denominated debt is;

    1. unrealized and

    2. Foreign exchange, so will continue to fluctuate up and down randomly

    This item should really be excluded to see how the core business is performing and, if we exclude it, we can see that the earnings still increased by a very healthy 22.5% on revenues that increased 31%.

    The problem is that I am not sure that that healthy level of growth is enough to justify the current valuation at 110x trailing earnings and 7x trailing revenues. Especially for a company that is facing serious head winds from an imminent rise in (lower priced) competition.

    Please feel free to "FOLLOW" me if you would like to see my regular updates during the week.

    This is not a recommendation to buy or sell. Stocks are not suitable for everybody. Please do your own research.

    The case for Dividend Growth Investing

    Posted: 17 Oct 2019 07:16 AM PDT

    Hello everyone,

    I am a dividend growth investor, and I wanted to offer my perspective on dividend growth stocks and dividend (growth) investing as a strategy.

    I know many of you will have seen contrasting videos from Ben Felix and PPCIan on youtube on this topic. My purpose for posting is that I want to spark a broad discussion of the strategy and on dividends in general.

    In my view, it's a truly incredible strategy.

    For some context, I began trading awhile back, just about breaking even overall. When I started to invest in blue chip dividends stocks geared towards strong free cash flow and dividend growth, I started to see some growth in my portfolio, and that growth will continue whether the market dips or rises.

    If the market rises, obviously share price will increase and I'm still collecting dividends. With DRIP (dividend reinvestment plan), I gain fractional shares and eventually full shares of the companies I own. By investing for ownership of the company (very long term) your wealth will snowball over time.

    If the market falls, you'll appear to lose money on the share price, but it's actually a blessing in disguise. When the market falls, most blue chip stocks go on sale and trade at more favorable valuations. Additionally, since the market price is cheaper, you'll accumulate shares quicker using dividend reinvestment. It's automated dollar cost averaging. When the market becomes more bullish, the value of your shares will increase rapidly on top of the dividend income you're receiving steadily.

    The only situation where you're selling is when a company you own cuts it's dividend or eliminates it entirely. If you keep holding for decades, your wealth will compound at a rapid rate. The more time you are invested, the more wealth you will create.

    By investing in companies with strong balance sheets, free cash flow and dividend growth, you can create enormous wealth. By doing solid dd and fundamental analysis, you'll be investing in great companies at favorable valuations. Additionally, dividend increases signal that management is confident in the business and confident that they'll be able to maintain a higher payout.

    Some things you should avoid are companies with yield traps (companies with high dividend yields to keep investors roped in), companies with high payout ratios (I personally like to avoid companies with over 75% payout ratio) and companies that take on a lot of debt (hurts free cash flow).

    The best part is that you never have to sell the shares that you own. You can live off your dividends in retirement AND pass ownership onto your kids.

    The passive income generated by dividends is life changing. The process requires discipline and it's not sexy — time matters and it's a key component.

    If you're interested in learning more about this strategy, please head over to r/dividends or r/dividend_investing to learn more and check out PPCIan on YouTube. I'm also happy to answer questions if you pm me.

    Happy investing!

    Schwab, in Bid for Younger Clients, to Allow Investors to Buy and Sell Fractions of Stocks

    What is happening with NTDOY

    Posted: 17 Oct 2019 09:29 AM PDT

    Nintendo is down roughly 10% from last month and I'm not sure why.

    From what I've seen, MKT launched on mobile (albeit with server over load but if anything that shows high demand), overwatch was brought to the system, the company is partnering with Tencent in China, and the new lite model is out. A remastered legend of zelda and Luigi's mansion 3 recently came out which are hits, while preparing for the next generation of pokemon, animal crossing, and botw 2 in the pipeline.

    Am I missing something here? Also iirc Japan's market has actually been doing decent over that timeline?

    Preparing for a Recession

    Posted: 17 Oct 2019 02:10 PM PDT

    At some point in the future a recession will occur. I have lots of SPY, VOO, VTI, and QQQ. Of course, I could ride the recession all the way to the bottom. I guess that's what a lot of people do. Week after week of bad news. Month after month. More red days than green. Sitting there and holding.

    However, I am wondering if there is a better decision. Is everyone else going to sit and hold no matter what? Does anyone else have any better ideas? If so, what are your triggers?

    Thoughts on Stratasys?

    Posted: 17 Oct 2019 01:49 PM PDT

    I'm looking for a small cap that has the potential to be a multi bagger. Stratasys has a 2 billion market cap and contracts with Ford and Boeing. I read somewhere that they are going to be selling more 3d printers to boeing next year.

    It is the #4 holding in the Ark Innovators fund with a 6% weighting.

    It is near a 52 week low so it might be a good time to start accumulating shares.

    It seems like 3d printing will become a bigger part of manufacturing in the future.

    Are there any people with knowledge on 3d printing and the potential addressable market that can weigh in on stratasys?

    Any other ideas for potential multibagger small caps?

    Thanks.

    Al Qaeda cashing in from 9/11?

    Posted: 17 Oct 2019 01:32 PM PDT

    I was reading an article on marketwatch about Trump and they compared some potential stock market manipulation to "al Qaeda cashed in before the Sept. 11 attacks", without providing any other context or background on this.

    Can anyone explain to me how they did this? I'm relatively young so I wasn't really aware of this.

    $DAL down more than 6% this month despite positive earnings call

    Posted: 17 Oct 2019 09:13 AM PDT

    Highlights from last earnings call:

    • +30% EPS YOY ($2.52 EPS)

    • $2B pretax profit (up $350M YOY)

    • +2.5 points in their operating margin

    • $4B FCF YTD

    • +6.5% Revenue for Q3 alone (record high of $12.6B this quarter)

    • 5 years of consecutive annual profits of >$5B

    • Joint partnership with LATAM which secured over 100 new destinations across South America (expected growth of $1B in revenue over the next 5 years)

    • -1% in costs due to lower fuel prices expected to carry over into Q4

    One other obvious note is that Delta does not use any of the MAX aircrafts that have been grounded. Am I missing something here?

    PNG.V - Kraken Robotics

    Posted: 17 Oct 2019 08:54 AM PDT

    I've recently invested in this company after following them for some time. They have been producing great work, their employment rate has risen dramatically, and are acquiring more licenses for military purposes. They are also on track to an all-time high revenue generation. Some analysts project this to reach 1.20$ near Christmas, what are your thoughts, and is anyone else invested into PNG?

    Burger King has made splashes in the news lately with the Impossible Whopper. They are also getting listed on Uber Eats. The stock looks pretty cheap at the moment. I'm thinking of opening a modest position here. Thoughts?

    Is it smart to short british banks after brexit?

    Posted: 17 Oct 2019 10:06 AM PDT

    Hey! Im wondering if its a smart idea to short stocks of certain banks in the UK when the brexit deal is finished. My thought is that many people will sell out because they are scared of what will happen and because it will become big speculation about the stocks.

    Should I buy Dollar General?

    Posted: 17 Oct 2019 09:52 AM PDT

    I have Dollar Tree and it's my best investment since after the recession of 2008. Dollar General is looking really highly priced, but TD Ameritrade has really good indicators for this stock from Analyst reviews. I was looking at this stock and it just seems to go up and up.

    Should I wait for a new price point? Or buy 1-3 shares and just track it for the time being? I'm okay with losing a little money, but I don't want to bust on it if it's a bubble.

    Marketwatch has it's P/E at around 26.

    Buy more or wait?

    Posted: 17 Oct 2019 06:44 AM PDT

    I noticed today that Conagra and Flower foods are both down about 5% in my portfolio. I like these companies and I am tempted to buy more, and it is part of my overall strategy to add to positions after they go down 5% if I like the companies. However, my account now is less than a third of cash, and if there is a crash I want some cash to buy stocks at a discount. I basically have two needs of my account at conflict with each other. Adding to down positions and saving cash. Anyone have an opinion? Thanks!

    Stocks that Increase and Decrease in value depending on the season?

    Posted: 17 Oct 2019 03:52 AM PDT

    I'm new to investing and I was wondering if this was a thing in terms of short term increases. It makes sense to my beginner mind but I know it's a lot more complex than this. Is this a common occurrence or are investors more concerned on long term stability?
