Daily Advice Thread - All basic help or advice questions must be posted here. Posted: 06 Nov 2019 04:12 AM PST 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.

WSB: Student levers up 500x on Robin Hood to hit $1.7M in margin from $3k ‘invested’ Posted: 06 Nov 2019 03:34 AM PST https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/dsb0mz/robinhood_has_inbred_and_made_the_ultimate_autist/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf I wonder when this becomes a systemic risk or when the SEC wakes up submitted by /u/dingodoyle [link] [comments]

U.S. SEC proposes rules that could limit shareholder voices Posted: 05 Nov 2019 05:44 PM PST https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-sec-proxyadvisers/u-s-sec-proposes-rules-that-could-limit-shareholder-voices-idUSKBN1XF1YN WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Wall Street's top regulator on Tuesday proposed a pair of long-awaited rules that would set new limits on shareholders' ability to call for corporate changes on thorny issues like climate change disclosures and executive compensation. In one of the biggest wins for the corporate lobby under President Donald Trump, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission voted 3-2 along partisan lines to raise the re-submission thresholds for motions that shareholders file on company ballots and to put new requirements on firms guiding investors how to vote in corporate elections. submitted by /u/COMPUTER1313 [link] [comments]

China's blockbuster Euro Bond sale just opened the floodgates Posted: 05 Nov 2019 07:16 PM PST Source: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/china-blockbuster-euro-bond-sale-021445571.html The success of China's first euro bond offering in 15 years is likely to spur a rush of issuance from the nation's companies. The Ministry of Finance sold 4 billion euros ($4.4 billion) of notes in maturities of seven, 12 and 20 years on Tuesday, according to people with knowledge of the sale. The offering drew nearly 20 billion euros of investor orders, with a 2 billion-euro seven-year note being the most popular. China relied on dollar bonds for earlier issues, selling $3 billion of debt last year and $2 billion in 2017. While the nation also plans to sell dollar bonds at the end of the month, the ongoing trade war is prompting Chinese firms to seek alternative funding sources I guess they're trying to move away from USD? submitted by /u/suckfail [link] [comments]

Tesla reaches preliminary battery supply deal with CATL Posted: 05 Nov 2019 07:18 PM PST Source: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-reaches-preliminary-battery-supply-203020593.html Tesla Inc. has reached a preliminary agreement to start using CATL as a battery supplier for cars made in China from as early as next year, and the companies are in talks to expand the relationship globally, according to people familiar with the matter. Following months of negotiations, the companies clinched a non-binding deal after Tesla Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk traveled to Shanghai in late August and met with CATL Chairman Zeng Yuqun for about 40 minutes, according to the people, who asked not to be named discussing private deliberations. Though a final agreement is expected to be signed by mid 2020, there is no guarantee that will happen, the people said. This is for Model 3s produced in Shanghai. Market impact: "It's a competitive blow to Panasonic as Tesla was relying on the Japanese battery producer only. But it's a boon for CATL and LG Chem." submitted by /u/suckfail [link] [comments]

FCC approves T-Mobile-Sprint merger, requires Boost Mobile divestiture Posted: 05 Nov 2019 04:07 PM PST https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/fcc-approves-t-mobile-sprint-merger Three of the five commissioners said that the merger would encourage the deployment of a new 5G mobile network, and that the effect on competition would be mixed. It will "create upward pricing pressure," according to the ruling, but it said the "competitive benefits will outweigh pricing pressure in certain areas, such as rural markets, and in certain segments of the market." submitted by /u/coolcomfort123 [link] [comments]

Wealth Tax Posted: 05 Nov 2019 07:12 PM PST Not trying to get political, I'm just trying to understand the consequences. Let's say a wealth tax in the US goes into effect, at 2% of wealth per year. And I will assume most CEOs don't have the cash to pay that kind of tax based on their net worth, so they'll have to sell a shit ton of stock. With many CEOs selling a shit ton of stock to pay this tax, would the market drive the price of the stock down due to such a large amount being sold? I know almost nothing about investing, so figured I'd ask here! submitted by /u/Actuary10122 [link] [comments]

Disney Earnings... Posted: 05 Nov 2019 03:47 PM PST Hey guy's, What do yis reckon on DIS earnings I hear they are bleeding a lot of money and Zacks has a -5 "strong sell" on them ?? Any thought's on this... it must be costing them a fortune setting up an creating content for their streaming service, also they bought FOX for 81 billion earlier in the year.

What are some broadly diversified funds that you would recommend over S&P 500 for long term investing? Posted: 05 Nov 2019 07:30 PM PST I frequently see S&P 500 as the benchmark against which most funds, indexes are compared to and they usually underperform the S&P 500. Are there any funds or indexes that have actually outperformed the S&P 500 on a long term basis that are also broadly diversified across many sectors, and is also passively managed and has low fees? submitted by /u/lucas23bb [link] [comments]

One of the Nordic region’s biggest pension funds is cutting its holdings of European stocks, and instead piling into U.S. equities Posted: 05 Nov 2019 01:09 PM PST https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-11-05/a-50-billion-fund-in-helsinki-is-dumping-europe-and-buying-u-s "For now, the U.S. economy is "structurally better composed," Rytsola said in an interview. That's why his listed equity portfolio has 41% in North America, up from 24% at the end of 2018. At the same time, Varma has slashed its listed European holdings to 11% from 19%. That excludes Finnish stocks, a less liquid but fairly stable part of the portfolio, which dropped from 39% to 36%" submitted by /u/ktkps [link] [comments]

October ISM non-manufacturing index comes in at 54.7, vs 53.5 estimate Posted: 05 Nov 2019 07:09 AM PST https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/05/october-ism-non-manufacturing-index-comes-in-at-54point7-vs-53point5-estimate.html submitted by /u/kmoros [link] [comments]

Credit Suisse is ‘very positive’ about China’s long-term growth Posted: 05 Nov 2019 08:18 PM PST https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/06/credit-suisse-ceo-is-bullish-on-chinas-domestic-economy.html Credit Suisse CEO Tidjane Thiam sees opportunities in China as its economy shifts to a consumer-driven one — making it "less sensitive" to trade. "There is ... a shift of the Chinese model from a manufacturing, export-oriented model, to a more consumer-oriented, domestic-based economy, that will also be less sensitive to issues like trade," Thiam says. He says the financial sector has a major role to play in transforming China's economy. submitted by /u/coolcomfort123 [link] [comments]

Role of King in ATVI Q3 Earnings? Posted: 05 Nov 2019 05:07 PM PST ATVI is made up of Activision, Blizzard, and King. To my understanding, the barometer used by big fish investors/analysts to gauge the health of gaming companies is Monthly Active Users (MAU). Last quarter one of the main reasons ATVI did poorly was due to a decline in MAU. I was surprised to learn that King was responsible for 258 million of ATVI's 327 million MAU. And, for the past half decade or so, King's MAU has steadily been declining. I feel pretty good about Activisions Q3 performance and guidance with the success of CoD Mobile and Modern Warfare. I also feel pretty good about Blizzard with WoW Classic and a solid pipeline including Overwatch 2, Diablo 4. The wildcard, at least from my understanding, seems to be King. Have Candy Crush and King's other mobile games been doing well? Is the success of Activision and Blizzard enough to mitigate the decline of King?? If anyone has any insight into how King has been doing this quarter I'd appreciate feedback. submitted by /u/mango1144 [link] [comments]

Let's say that I want to set something up in M1 for my taxable investing, as a long-only play. If M1 ever goes under in the next 20 years, how would I handle transferring my customized, fractional-stock portfolio somewhere else? Posted: 05 Nov 2019 09:16 PM PST Would it be likely that they're put out of business by the traditional brokerages offering a similar zero-fee investing product? If not, would I essentially have to just transfer the whole portfolio over to somewhere that does, or just liquidate and move into index/sector funds? submitted by /u/freyzha [link] [comments]

How do low interest rate affect financial stocks like V, PYPL,MA and banks Posted: 05 Nov 2019 09:03 PM PST How do low interest affect the ones listed above and similiar kind stocks. When it comes to banks will the low interest rates have similiar affect to them? submitted by /u/bildewag [link] [comments]

Do you pick stocks over Index investing? Posted: 05 Nov 2019 02:39 PM PST Most studies show that the vast majority of individuals (and even professionals) can't beat the market, especially over long periods of time (10+ years). So I was curious to see how you like to invest for the long term. Do you pick individual stocks over index investing? If so, have you beaten the market over a number of years? If you have not beaten the market, why not switch to ETF's? If you have beaten the market, how much time/luck do you think is involved in this, and do you think you can replicate the performance over 10+ years? submitted by /u/HighFlyer888 [link] [comments]

Since when are CFD margins so high? Posted: 05 Nov 2019 10:55 AM PST It's been a good 7-8 years since I've traded any CFDs. I remember that back then margins could be as little as 0.25%. How come just a few years later I cannot find any brokers offering me less than 5% margins? submitted by /u/liptoniceteapeache [link] [comments]

Is there a tool which will send me an alert, when any DowJones/NASDAQ/DAX/etc. Stock drops/goes up by X%? Posted: 05 Nov 2019 09:18 AM PST The question is in the title, Google gave me nothing - all alerts I could find require one to actively add stocks one by one - and then you can only track for changes vs. a certain starting value, and not a "trailing change". Thanks in advance. submitted by /u/hung_like_a_donkey [link] [comments]

When can we begin to contribute to year 2020 IRA? Posted: 05 Nov 2019 10:05 AM PST I would assume its January first, but for some reason no amount of googing can find this exact date.
