    GE’s Gaping Pension Deficit Is Just a Tiny Part of Companies’ $269 Billion Gap

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 06:08 AM PDT

    https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ge-gaping-pension-deficit-just-100000314.html

    (Bloomberg) -- General Electric Co.'s gaping pension deficit certainly stands out for its size. But the company is hardly the only one at risk of potentially shortchanging some of its employees come retirement.

    All across corporate America, underfunded pensions have become the norm. Even now, a decade after the financial crisis, the largest plans face a shortfall of $269 billion, right about where it was 10 years ago. Years of low interest rates have largely offset gains in the stock market. Companies haven't helped matters by lavishing money on shareholder rewards and clinging to assumptions about returns that proved to be too rosy.

    Defined benefit plans, like your traditional corporate pensions, have largely disappeared from view in the past couple of decades as companies have embraced plans like 401(k)s. Employers can opt to contribute to those plans, but it's the employees who are responsible for choosing the right investments and are solely on the hook if those investments fare poorly.

    Should a portfolio always be diversified?

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 11:29 AM PDT

    I only have $200 worth of stocks in my portfolio, 1 share each of ATVI, ABBV, T, and NTDOY. Since the value of my portfolio is low, would a better plan be to choose 1 or 2 stocks until my value goes up, or should I start diversified from the very beginning?

    EDIT: I should mention that my goal is to just throw money into stocks and forget about em for at least a couple months, if not a couple years.

    Stocks with competitive advantage. Name your top 5 and explain why. A serious approach. (not taking valuations into consideration)

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 01:28 PM PDT

    I would go with Disney, Hasbro, Apple, Amazon and Berkshire Hathaway

    • Disney is in a unique position on content. They got everything from Hulu,Pixar, Star Wars to excellent intellectual property and thousands of stories to be told.
    • Hasbro also is in a unique Position, as they profit from the global wealth creation, as more parents are able to spent more money for their kids. And as I believe classic games like Monopoly or Dungeons and Dragons are timeless and will be played in the future, wether it is digital or not. I also believe they will successfully make the step into the movie industry, since they got enough ip to successfully merchandise.
    • Apple has a huge moat. Once you use their systems, you stay with them.
    • Amazon makes the most out of online retail, which shouldn't be stopped anytime soon.
    • What else is a better investment than giving your money to the best investor of all time ?

    TD Ameritrade Free Trade Limits?

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 10:57 AM PDT

    TD Ameritrade claim it has $0 commission trades. However, I am seeing a yellow notice at the top of the page saying I only have 496 free trades left. Does anyone know what that means? What happens after I make those 496 trades?

    Buying stocks before bankruptcy

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 03:20 AM PDT

    So I bought $250 worth of stocks at Thomas Cook on September 20th via eToro hoping that they'll be granted the loan and get back on track. After you finish laughing at me, please help me out:

    1. What should I do now? I can't sell them and they've gone bankrupt in the meantime. The application says they're worth $234.15, so I "lost" 15.85%, but since I can't sell them, they're worth nothing.

    2. I understand that in this situation, the state takes remaining taxes, the other companies take their debt and the last ones are the investors. So I'll get the remaining divided by the number of shares?

    3. How long will this take? Will my position be frozen for years and the money blocked?

    4. The theoretical spread is 3.527-3.601, but both options are grayed out. I have the option to sell whenever (or IF) this option becomes available. Will it ever? Is it risky to do so, as the sell could go super low and maybe at that price someone would be willing to take the risk?

    5. Is it even possible to trade shares once a company goes bankrupt?

    6. What would you do?

    Bed Bath and Beyond names new CEO

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 01:39 PM PDT

    https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/bed-bath--beyond-inc-names-mark-j-tritton-as-president-and-chief-executive-officer-300935010.html

    The guy has a great resume. It'll be interesting to watch how this unfolds. Stock is up around 15% after hours.

    [Edit: I have a small BBBY position, purely speculative, as I expected a bump when they announced the CEO. I'm not posting to pump this. Genuinely curious what others think / know about Mark Tritton and the implications of this appointment.]

    Activision/Blizzard or Nintendo

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 08:33 AM PDT

    I'm trying to decide on one of them. What's a better investment? Nintendo seems like a long term sustainable company since it will always have a fanbase dedicated to its exclusives, while activision games seem to have less loyal of a fanbase. I know plenty of call of duty players that are picky with cod's newest yearly game, while the next Legend of Zelda will make every Nintendo nerd nut themselves.

    'Open offer'

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 08:28 AM PDT

    Pretty fresh faced when it comes to trading, so go easy.

    Basically already owning shares, i've received an 'open offer' and am entitled to buy more shares at a significantly lower cost at what they are currently trading. Now at first this seemed like a no brainer, but since reading a little into it, because of dilution, this is likely to drop the price a lot if/when it goes through?

    Any thoughts on this?

    Less of more vs more of less

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 07:35 AM PDT

    The title is whack I know, I just wasnt sure how to word it. Should I focus my stock portfolio on high share amounts of a select few stocks, or just try to purchase as many different types (as long as they make sense to buy). Basically if I had $1000 to invest, would it be more reasonable to put $250 in 4 different stocks, or $100 in 10 different stocks.

    I know this varies based on what stock it is since some outperform others, I'm just not sure if I should buy more of what I already have or look for new stuff. I'm a newbie, looking for advice. Thanks (:

    Joel Greenblatt - Anyone utilize the Magic Formula to begin their analysis of a company?

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 07:32 AM PDT

    Just finished his "The Little Book that Still Beats the Market" (2010) and I've plugged in minimum market cap of $750 million into his website magicformulainvesting.com

    Got my 30-50 results.

    Now I'm building my watchlist and will then begin digging into financial statements.

    My key takeaways of the Magic Formula and his book:

    -Focus on companies selling at low relative cost ("cheap") and produce high returns on capital ("quality" or "good").

    -Another way of putting it: Focus on companies that earn a lot and also invest their capital that produce high returns.

    -Buy/Hold and don't expect immediate results. Mr. Market is fickle.

    -Sell losses a week before the year ends to capture losses for tax purposes

    -Sell gains a week after the year ends to capture long term gain tax.

    -Repeat the process

    My questions:

    Anyone here begin their analysis of stocks using this method?

    Anyone here have success using the Magic Formula (beat the Market on average) over several years?

    Can you share your thoughts on Greenblatt's formula, strategy and/or value investing philosophy and relevance in today's Market?

    SVB buying opportunity?

    Posted: 08 Oct 2019 06:44 PM PDT

    I want to share a bank i've been following for some time.

    SVB Financial Group, ticker SIVB, is a US based high-tech commercial bank in Silicon Valley. The scope of the bank is to invest in start-ups.

    Currently it's traded at 188.93$ a share and I see a lot of value in this stock right now. For the last 10years the bank have been reporting earnings consistently and last year earned 18.11$ a share.

    The shareholders return on equity is 16.36% which is above average. Price to book sits on 1.7 and the current P/E is 9.16 (the lowest according to the last 10 years). On average, the P/E is used to be 19.86, so is really below the value it's used to trade. They have a huge profit margin, 38.17% and this margin grown up 10.70% every year.
    I really think this stock is well undervalued and according to their earnings, this stock should reach the price a share between 1935.54$ and 3667.92$ in the next 10 years.

    What do you guys think?

    Has success for Disney's streaming service been priced in?

    Posted: 09 Oct 2019 09:45 AM PDT

    I feel like I see pretty good indicators that we should be seeing a bit of an uptrend here for Disney - not necessarily because of the streaming service but by the attendance rates as well as aggressive marketing and better seasonal pass rates.

    Then to add it on top, a streaming site fixes the issue they were facing with cord-cutting. What are you guys feeling about the stock at the moment? are we seeing a bottom maybe?
