    Founder of world’s biggest hedge fund warns of ‘big squeeze’ with investors ‘buying dreams rather than earnings’

    Dalio says we're headed to a 'warlike environment'

    Ray Dalio, the founder of hedge-fund behemoth Bridgewater Associates, believes investors haven't necessarily been investing on a firm footing and that's a condition that will eventually have to be rectified.

    The prominent investor, during a particularly downbeat CNBC interview on Tuesday, suggested investors are flush with cash because of monetary policy but haven't been discerning about selecting investment strategies. They are "buying dreams rather than earnings and stocks," he said.

    30% of Americans Believe the U.S. Dollar Is Backed by Gold

    America’s Largest Health Insurer Is Giving Apartments to Homeless People

    Posted: 05 Nov 2019 06:31 PM PST

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2019-11-05/unitedhealth-s-myconnections-houses-the-homeless-through-medicaid

    The research and development lab for this experiment is a pair of apartment complexes in a down-at-the-heels corner of Phoenix called Maryvale. Here, Brenner is using UnitedHealth's money to pay for housing and support services for roughly 60 formerly homeless recipients of Medicaid, the safety-net insurance program for low-income people. Most states outsource their Medicaid programs to private companies such as UnitedHealth, paying the insurer a per-head monthly fee—typically $500 to $1,000—to manage members' care. The company's 6 million Medicaid members produced $43 billion in 2018, almost 20% of total revenue.

    It's a profitable business overall. But the most expensive patients, who often present a complex blend of medical, mental health, and social challenges, cost UnitedHealth vastly more than it takes in to care for them. "Can you imagine people living on the street with these disorders? Heart failure, COPD. They're rolling around with oxygen tanks, crazy stuff," Brenner says. It isn't hard to find people living in similar distress around Phoenix or any other American city. And despite their extreme costs, these patients often get poor care. "This is just sad. This is just stupid," Brenner says. "Why do we let this go on?"

    Unsettled Fund Trading?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2019 04:28 PM PST

    Recent switched from Robinhood to Schwab for my broker. Noticed today after my first Schwab trade, that I wasn't able to purchase another stock due to my funds being unsettled (and has a settlement date of Wednesday).

    On Robinhood, I was free to trade my account balance immediately. (By default)

    Is there something I need to do on Schwab to mimic this again? Having to wait 2 days to trade again is less than ideal when trying to swing.

    NEW: Losing is an inevitable part of trading. No Strategy is going to avoid losses. When you have a systematic approach you have a plan. Understand that losing is something that you have to get good at and do properly.

    IRM... opinions ?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2019 05:59 AM PST

    Hi all,

    well, as title says, what is your opinion on this one in long horizon, like 10 years and more ?

    I bought recently because i like the company, the yield, 10 years in a row, revenue is growing past few years, they customers are stable companies from the list whichc i dont remember the name 1000 something, they are providing services for 950, they are transfering into data centers(investing into future) and they have plenty of time to do that, because for companies it will be probably cheaper to hold their documents in physical form of paper and tape... or not ?

    Is investing in fitbit for a 30 cent per stock profit worth the risk?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2019 01:15 PM PST

    In my high school economics class we have a virtual investment competition. We get a fake 100,000 dollars in the virtual stock market, and I was wondering if the risk of the google Fitbit deal failing should keep me from putting a substantial chunk of money in fitbit to try to make 30 cents per stock. It doesn't necessarily matter if I crash and burn but if it works out it will shoot me way ahead of everyone, so I thought I'd ask for you all's advice. Thanks for the help.

    IEX allows unlisted trading?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2019 12:51 PM PST

    Isn't transparency their whole "thing"?

    So I've read Flash Boys, and been interested in keeping up with IEX. I was sad when they exited the listing business. I'm a big fan of what they are trying to accomplish.

    Recently, I've run into an issue getting OTC data, and it looks like it's due to some changes with how unlisted trading data is measured. The Unlisted Trading Plan (UTP) governs how the data is collected, and I was curious as to who was taking part in the over-the-counter trades. I stumbled upon the list of participants and noticed IEX was a part of this.

    My question is: Why? I thought this was orthogonal to their whole view on the market? Why does IEX allow unlisted trades?

    Why does this option spike every morning?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2019 11:46 AM PST

    I have an option that I placed that has spiked to as high as 300% of my purchase price several times, usually at 9:50 AM, but sometimes at 1:50 PM. Then it drops back to normal (which is currently at -70%).

    What is causing this, and can I just put in a sell order to cash in on these spikes?

    I blew up...

    Posted: 05 Nov 2019 06:47 PM PST

    Well I have a pretty bad headache. What a tragic day it's been, after only trading for a few months. Let me start this by saying my emotions got the best of me, and it really hurt. I wasn't ready or expecting to take the loss I did, but I did learn a lot about myself in such a short period of time. Let's go over the trade today:

    I am subscribed to warrior tradings chatroom. He's been amazing at giving his mindset, and helping people like me emulate a winning mindset. So today he was watching BOXL, a running stock. In case you don't know, he calls everything out live in his room. I put typed in BOXL and saw it at 2.80. Then I hear him call out that he's gotten long in a position. Seeing how there were many stocks that ran in the past week, this seemed like another. SES and BIMI have both ran in the past few days, so I didn't want to miss the next big runner. As usual, I was slow to place my orders in. I ended up getting filled at 2.93, and added again at 3. Then a nightmare happened, it didn't break 3 and snapped back down. Now at this point, warrior said he was ready to bail. I was in my position full size, and stuck down 30 cents with a 2.97 average long. Then, next thing I know the stock doesn't bounce and warriors out of his position. Unfortunately, my emotions got the best of me, and I held on. It held 2.70 well, and I was thinking it was going to squeeze all the way to about 3.50 for a nice gain, but it didn't. It broke 2.70, and snapped all the way to 2.50, where I covered at 2.48 for a blow up loss. My emotions got the best of me and I was greedy when I should've taken it off at $3 when warrior said it was holding. Instead, I held and held, until it was over.

    This experience has been extremely important as a learning and educational experience. I'm going to come back stronger, and not let my emotions get the best of me. Next month I'll be coming back in pursuit of becoming a top 5% trader, funding my account, and re-subscribe to get a better education.

    I hope you all could relate and learn something!

    Taking a look at SHOP. Is it a Buy Now?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2019 11:10 AM PST

    SHOP down 5% past week and 10% past month. Has established a negotiable price at $300/share after its run-up over 100% the past year. ATH was a bit above $400, so it appears that corrections to the run has already been made. What are your thoughts?

    Is it safe to purchase stocks on Robinhood?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2019 10:28 AM PST

    I have read multiple threads of users stating RH is close to closing, and or going under due to their user base leveraging millions on thousands in terms of investments. So my question is, if I were to purchase stocks on the RH platform and if RH were to go bankrupt would my stocks still be safe?

    The S&P & DJIA just hit all time highs. This is on the back of less corporate earnings & low investor confidence in the market. How are we not set up for failure after the yield curve inversion?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2019 02:43 AM PST

    It feels like we are on a 10 year bullrun inflated by cheap money rather than productivity.

    Online performance Holding/Shares/Funds charting comparison tool

    Posted: 05 Nov 2019 06:07 AM PST

    I'm looking for a good tool to compare different holdings/shares/funds/... performances.

    Similar to just googling, for instance, chart euro stoxx50 which gives a nice customizable chart front page, but I'd like to add other indices or funds to the same chart. What would you recommend?

    Paper Trading Competition Sites

    Posted: 05 Nov 2019 09:05 AM PST

    Hey /r/stockmarket,

    I work for a brokerage looking to increase market engagement among the back office staff.

    One of the ideas floated has been a for fun paper trading competition that we could centrally manage through the dealing desk. The only problem is we weren't sure if there was a good platform out there that would enable a set of teams to operate in a sort of leaderboard format.

    Do you guys have any ideas on potential websites that would enable something like this? I know that I've seen finance subreddits host something like this in the past but never really engaged with them.

    $AVGO Broadcom breaking out

    Posted: 05 Nov 2019 08:53 AM PST

    $316 is the next resistance zone for AVGO above which will set a new All time high.
    Indicators are getting a little tired and overbought so a pullback very possible.
    Volume is great and indicative with a breakout.
    AVGO has massive potential and is extremely well diversified as a result of aggressive acquisitions in the past decade.

    ATVI Q3 earnings estimate

    Posted: 05 Nov 2019 08:32 AM PST

    Anyone know why Q3 estimates would be lower than Q2 was? What did they release in Q2 vs Q3? The big thing I see is wow classic in q3. And analysts show earnings decreasing. What am I missing ? Is there that big of a slow down anticipated for there other titles? Estimate seems low to me.

    Facebook stock shows technical signs of a strong move Are you ready

    Posted: 04 Nov 2019 11:26 PM PST

    Facebook stock price technical analysis forecast

    Facebook's 20119 Q3 results were strong, with revenues again growing leading to EPS growing 20%. ,the company reported adjusted earnings of $ 2.12 per share, up 20% from the prior year period and reversed two consecutive quarters of declining earnings.– is this situation will continue in the future ?

    But on the other hand, we should not forget the regulatory concerns, both from the US government and from others countries - we may be surprises that no one knows how they will be resolved, or in what way, and how it will affect on the major tech companies that Facebook is one of them .

    The US election year alone poses a risk to the markets - we saw what happened the previous time with the issue of ads and creation fake News - Will these new restrictions or laws ever be hurt by the profits of companies like Facebook?

    Time will tell......

    Facebook Technical Analysis

    major trend up but .....

    need to watch on 171$+_ price level - break down this area will lead Facebook Low to 153-158$ below this 137-139 and 117-128 price target ,while staying above will confirm more uptrend

    The more interesting point is the appearance of the trading pattern

    Diamond pattern is very large patterns, the technical implications are often extremely large. Technical targets price are derived by subtracting the difference between the record high and the reaction low from the eventual breakout level. The breakout level will be determined by a trend line drawn from the reaction low to the first significant low on the right side of the pattern.

    The diamond formation reversal pattern is usually does so at market tops rather than at bottoms.

    Need to watch very closely on 171+- price level - its the key !
