    r/Stocks Daily Discussion & Technicals Tuesday - Oct 08, 2019

    Posted: 08 Oct 2019 01:07 AM PDT

    This is the daily discussion, so anything stocks related is fine, but the theme for today is on technical analysis (TA), but if TA is not your thing then just ignore the theme and/or post your arguments against TA here and not in the current post.

    Some helpful day to day links, including news:


    Technical analysis (TA) uses historical price movements, real time data, indicators based on math and/or statistics, and charts; all of which help measure the trajectory of a security. TA can also be used to interpret the actions of other market participants and predict their actions.

    The main benefit to TA is that everything shows up in the price (commonly known as "priced in"): All news, investor sentiment, and changes to fundamentals are reflected in a security's price.

    TA can be useful on any timeframe, both short and long term.

    Do dividend payouts during recession typically decrease?

    Posted: 08 Oct 2019 02:10 AM PDT

    Title says it all. I am on my first year of trading and I want to redo my portfolio to concentrate on building meaningful positions and especially dividends. I basically want to sell everything now and then buy back in December which would give me time to allocate and budget accordingly. I personally believe recession is coming in the next 12 months but more likely sooner than later.

    This brings me 2 concerns:

    how much of my money should I keep out of the market in order to average down in case an impending recession finally begins? I was thinking 50/50 or 60 in 40 out.

    I want to start building my portfolio mostly with dividend paying stocks. During a recession obviously share prices go down but do dividend payments typically shrink? I want to get my hands on an ETF like VYM for a 'safer' dividend stock, a blue chip, probably MSFT for a middle ground between growth and dividends and something like FTS or AQN.TO for high dividend payouts that are more likely to have their share prices effected which would be easier to average down on in case of a recession.

    Yes I am aware that share prices go down, ergo, the 3% that you get from that share price in dividend payments would also be smaller— my question here is, does the 3% shrink during a recession?

    Activision/Blizzard what to do?

    Posted: 08 Oct 2019 12:39 PM PDT

    I'm pretty new to investing but currently have some money invested in Activision/blizzard and I'm a little confused what I should do. WOW Classic is doing great and something like over 100million people downloaded the new call of duty mobile game, which all seems like it's going on a good direction. But they just banned some people for supporting Hong Kong and it's getting a lot of backlash, so I ride it out or abandon ship?

    Edit: thanks everyone for their input, I'm new and panicked a little bit thinking it was going to crash.. but with a calmer head came clearer thoughts and I agree with what most of you said, just ride it out

    TD vs SCHWAB

    Posted: 08 Oct 2019 06:40 AM PDT

    I opened a schwab account yesterday and haven't been to impressed with their mobile app. Seems slow and choppy, quotes don't update smoothly and there's no extended hours quotes you have search for bid/ask. I'm somewhat regretting my decision but don't wanna rush to conclusion on day 1. I selected schwab because they seemed like the stronger business that would hold up over time and also they seem to be on the forefront of all the brokers, but the more I look into TD I feel like I made a bad decision, considering even opening a TD account now. Been impressed with their text support and app seems to look nice.

    Is TD worth it over schwab? Is the new zero commission initiative going to put pressure on their business?

    Where to get a “buyback aristocrats” list?

    Posted: 08 Oct 2019 10:33 AM PDT

    Looking for something similar to dividend aristocrats list but for buybacks, like companies that have consistently done buybacks. Is there a way to generate one or find one somewhere?

    Just as the post says, I'd like to understand the terminology and how options, calls and puts work. Honestly, I don't even know how to phrase this question with how little information I have on this. Anything helps. The more thorough the better!!

    What are some risky stocks that may shoot up within the next few months?

    Posted: 08 Oct 2019 07:54 AM PDT

    I am playing a "stock challenge game" on Investopedia with some friends. I am kind of far behind and need to make up $10,000 (on a starting amount of $50,000) by August 2020.

    I just need some advice on risky stocks that could shoot up 100% (or fall, fast) and make me some money back. Playing it safe at this point isn't going to win me the league.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Trading Calls help

    Posted: 08 Oct 2019 10:37 AM PDT

    Hi everyone, I've traded quite a while. Not an expert by any means, but I'm looking into trading call options. Wondering if you could help me understand what I'm paying in the image linked below.

    As I understand it, a call allows me to commit to paying a lower commission in order to preserve a lower price, in the event the stock takes off later.

    in the example below I've got 100 Nov 15th options with a strike of 3 (and limit of 3). What I'm assuming here is if the stock goes up from mid 2's range around early November and ends up north of the strike price of 3, then I would choose to excersise these options at about $30,000 at a price of $3/share. If I don't excercise this trade, then I pay the commisisons of what looks like .05 *100 options (or is it .o5 * 10,000 shares = $500?).

    can someone help me understand what my costs would be in the screenshot scenario give a. the price goes above $3/share by nov 15th and I exercise and b. the price stays below $3/share and I don'e exercise?

    Can anyone explain types of market?

    Posted: 08 Oct 2019 11:14 AM PDT

    I'm interested in stocks but I do not really understand the different types of markets such as buying at market, limit, stop, trailing stop $, and trailing stop %. I have conducted research about the topic but none of the videos or articles make any sense. Can anyone explain what they are and which is the best to use when purchasing stocks?

    Edit: I meant type of orders.

    $SRNE Sorrento Therapeutics

    Posted: 08 Oct 2019 06:23 AM PDT

    Gonna be watching $SRNE very closely today. Down 25% @EOB. Up 3% after hours. Bought in at $1.85. Analysts median target seems to be around $20 (although unlikely), however $8 isn't.

    High yesterday before the dip was $2.91. Investors are furious about the $2.30 direct offer dumping until the market low of $1.71 was reached.

    The direct offer closes tommorow, with some speculating a further downtrend to ... I'm sceptical this isn't going to immediately rebound.

    29% of the volume is held by insiders. 25% by institutions.

    50 day moving average of $2.20 200 day moving average $3.02

    Opportunity for massive profits here.

    Is it a a good idea to own bonds in a startup before a recession?

    Posted: 08 Oct 2019 10:46 AM PDT

    Noob question, but if I bought bonds in a startup before a recession and the company goes under, don't bondholdlers claim its assets?

    I am 25 with a good job. If a recession did happen (hypothetical or not) should I keep investing in strong companies?

    Posted: 08 Oct 2019 01:12 PM PDT

    If I am investing in good stocks like BERK.B, FANG ,APPL, MA, V, MSFT, as examples. And a recession hit. All of these would go down most likely. And there is a strong chance they might hit 5-year all time lows. Should I continue to invest into these stocks month by month during a recession like I am currently doing?

    Today my earnings dropped a lot. Doesn't mean their is a recession right now, just means my positions went down for the day, but it made me think.

    Thoughts on FSHCX?

    Posted: 08 Oct 2019 12:57 PM PDT

    About a year ago I set up a Roth IRA and put about 30% of my cash into FSHCX. Since then, it has gone down ~13%. I'm wondering if I should bite the bullet and sell or hold and pray that the healthcare sector starts to make some sort of return.

    When I bought into the fund, I was strictly looking at the present numbers and they seemed solid. However, now that the 2020 election is coming up and Warren is polling as one of the top three democratic candidates I am getting nervous. If she does indeed get elected, I fear that she will slaughter the healthcare sector even more.

    I have looked at other countries that have implemented public healthcare, like Canada, and it seems like if Warren were to get elected we would see a flip in percent of private vs public healthcare. Currently in Canada, about 30% of Canadians healthcare is provided by the private sector. Whereas, in the United States, 67% is provided through the private sector.

    So, what are your thoughts on the healthcare sector and how drastic would the effects be if the private healthcare sector usage were to drop ~30%?

    Question about protective puts

    Posted: 08 Oct 2019 04:32 AM PDT

    If I buy protective puts on an underlying security I own that's in a different account (an account I can't hold puts in), can I be reasonably sure that if the stock drops the gains from selling the protective puts will cover my losses, without exercising?

The Exchange Offer is expected to commence later in the month and will remain open for 20 business days.
    In the proposed Exchange Offer, each share of Series A Preferred Stock would entitle its holder to:
    (i) quarterly cumulative dividends at an annual rate of 12%, or $1.20 per share, payable in cash, in kind or in shares of Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock, at Investview's election, in priority as to dividends over the Common Stock,
    (ii) a liquidation price of $10.00 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends to the payment date in the case of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, before any payment or distribution is made to holders of Common Stock,
    (iii) 500 votes per share, voting together with holders of the Common Stock as a single class upon all matters upon which stockholders are entitled to vote,
    (iv) optional conversion by the holder at any time into 500 shares of Common Stock, and
    (v) a right to participate pro rata, through December 31, 2021, with respect to issuances by Investview of any future equity or equity-linked securities, subject to certain exceptions.

    Day Trading Fractional Shares

    Posted: 08 Oct 2019 09:28 AM PDT

    I have found some online brokerages that allow day trading such as Charles Schwab and TD Ameritrade. I have also found some brokerages that allow fractional shares like M1. However, I have not found a brokerage that allows both at the same time. Is that available anywhere? If not why?

    Does it make any sense to have REITS in an individual account?
