    If your question is "I have $10,000, what do I do?" or other "advice for my personal situation" questions. If you are going to ask how to invest you should include relevant information, such as the following:

    • How old are you?
    • Are you employed/making income? How much?
    • What are your objectives with this money? (buy a house? Retirement savings?)
    • What is your risk tolerance? (Do you mind risking it at blackjack or do you need to know its 100% safe?)
    • What are you current holdings? (Do you already have exposure to specific funds and sectors?)
    • Any other assets? House paid off? Cars? Expensive significant other?
    • What is your time horizon? Do you need this money next month? Next 20yrs?
    • Any big debts?
    • Any other relevant financial information will be useful to give you a proper answer.

    How much of a US-China trade agreement has already been priced in?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2019 02:34 AM PST

    I don't feel things seem particularly different from previous tentative talks of a preliminary agreement, though there appears to be much more market certainty this time around. I always thought a formal trade-agreement would send indexes soaring, but that already appears to be the case without much in the way of tangible progress.

    Should we expect much to change should a preliminary agreement be signed in the coming weeks?

    Public wealth has declined in most countries since the 1980s.

    Posted: 04 Nov 2019 04:40 PM PST

    "Net public wealth (public assets minus public debts) has even become negative in recent years in the United States and the UK, and is only slightly positive in Japan, Germany, and France. This arguably limits government ability to regulate the economy, redistribute income and mitigate rising inequality."

    "In the UK and the United States, national wealth consists entirely of private wealth, as net public wealth has become negative (that is, public assets are now below public debt). France, Japan, and Germany have also experienced a significant decline in public wealth, which is now worth just about 10–20% of national income according to official estimates—that is, a very tiny fraction of total national wealth."

    "Today, with either small or negative net public wealth, the governments of developed countries are arguably limited in their ability to intervene in the economy, redistribute income, and mitigate rising inequality."

    As SP500 continues to end at all time highs day after day, is it still a good time to invest in it?

    Posted: 04 Nov 2019 07:31 AM PST

    I'm relatively new to the world of investing and I know the safe and traditional strategy is to trust most of your holdings into a broad market index, which I choose is SP500. Since it keeps going higher and higher everyday, should I still invest or wait until it declines to put money in?

    I've thought about buying & then just apply dollar cost averaging if it decided to decline sharply due to recession or other factors.

    AirBNB called out for mismanagement of scam listers in "Vice" article - IPO in 2020?

    Posted: 04 Nov 2019 05:34 AM PST

    Article here

    Note that the FBI contacted them after the article came out. No response from AirBNB yet that I could find.

    Think they will be around long enough to get to an IPO?

    US MARKETSDow hits record high, rises more than 100 points amid US-China trade optimism

    PUBLISHED MON, NOV 4 20192:19 AM ESTUPDATED MOMENTS AGO

    "U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said Sunday that American firms would be granted licenses to sell to Chinese telecom giant Huawei "very shortly." Ross' comments came after China said Friday it reached a consensus with the U.S. in principle following trade talks last week.

    China and the U.S. have been engaged in a trade war for more than a year, but expectations for a deal being signed have increased recently. Last month, President Donald Trump said both sides had come to a "very substantial phase one" trade agreement that is expected to be signed later in November."

    Companies Cut Back, but Consumers Party On, Driving the Economy

    Posted: 04 Nov 2019 09:33 PM PST

    https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/04/business/economy/economy-consumers-business.html

    American consumers are energetically engaged in a spendathon. American businesses, by contrast, are not.

    Businesses and households swim in the same economic soup and their outlooks — gloomy or bright — are usually in sync. But in recent months, the two seem to occupy opposite ends of a teeter-totter, with consumers continuing to spend while business owners and managers are chastened by doubt and uncertainty.

    The economic expansion has extended its record run despite this curious divergence. The question is how long it can continue.

    Anyone had a Corporate Debt costume for Halloween?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2019 02:51 AM PST

    With corporate debt and loan ratings downgrades rising to record levels, isn't anyone worried about

    firms will inevitably have two options if profits continue to decline. Spending has to slow dramatically so firms have the necessary cash to pay down their debt loads. This means a significant fall in buybacks, which would strip U.S. equity markets of a key pillar

    Let's discuss this and this observations

    Arguments against index funds?

    Posted: 04 Nov 2019 02:46 PM PST

    I was talking to a co-worker of mine about investing and he isn't a big fan of index funds. I think they are great, though I only started investing in them 4 years ago and I don't know that much,

    His arguments are this, if index funds were so great why do family offices, hedge funds, HNW wealth managers still exist? Wouldn't it make sense to put everything into index funds and avoid the hassle?

    I'm not sure what the counter arguments for this are. Could someone explain that? Thanks!

    thoughts on BAM and WM?

    https://www.fool.com/investing/2019/11/04/3-stocks-you-can-buy-and-hold-forever.aspx

    forever is a long time. we all know BRK.B...i own some, and think i'll buy some more. i know less about BIP and WM. comparing to S&P500, both stocks have vastly outperformed over past 10 years. i'm planning to buy & hold for >10 years

    edit: i said BAM when i meant BIP. incidentally, BAM has also been killing it.

    Not sure if this has been asked before, but are public companies required to disclose all buyout offers to shareholders? Is there a situation where they would not be required to? Thanks for any help.

    Why not ALL the index funds?

    Posted: 04 Nov 2019 07:20 AM PST

    Hello everyone, very very new to investing. So go easy on me.

    I'm doing my due diligence on learning investing, even attending a class tonight, as index fund and ETF investing really interests me.

    In addition to any level of advice and/or guidance, I have a specific question. Throughout my research and learning, I've noticed, and correct me if I'm wrong, that unlike stock where owns maybe hundreds, people seem to only invest in a handful of indexes. Is there a reason for this? Thanks!

    VTSAX or FZROX? Which is the better buy?

    Posted: 04 Nov 2019 09:27 PM PST

    I'm new to stock investing and want to invest in index funds for diversity and to simplify my investing decision as I gain more experience. I've heard VTSAX and FZROX index funds getting thrown around a lot in the Investment world and just wanted to know which one would be the better investment?

    I can meet the minimum buy for Vanguard but the 0% expense ratio from Fidelity sounds appealing. Plus FZROX is just cheaper at $10 and virtually identical to VTSAX at $75 a share. Is there something I'm missing here or should I go with Old faithful? Also should I buy these funds using a Roth IRA?
