| The Federal Reserve and the endless money printer Posted: 27 Nov 2019 04:26 PM PST As many of you know, we have had historically low interest rates for a long time now. The Federal Reserve has printed money and grown their balance sheet to levels never seen before, and the US is running record deficits at the same time, during a supposed strong economy. This is obviously a cause for concern. I recently came across a CNBC video (yes, I know), and the guest, Byron Wien, Blackstone Private Wealth Vice Chairman, had an incredible segment where he explains this issue in just ~2 minutes. Worth a watch - https://youtu.be/C4QjDJuyfek?t=186. Even the interviewers were stunned. So what's the plan when the balance sheet expansion and QE4 or whatever you want to call it comes to an end? Buy gold? Buy Puts? Stay invested and average down? I'd love to get some discussion going on this. It's a real issue and not something that can be ignored forever. [link] [comments]  |
| Top 'ESG' Ethics-based Funds hold major investments in Saudi Arabia Posted: 27 Nov 2019 06:40 AM PST https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-your-good-governance-fund-is-full-of-saudi-bonds-11574781431 ESG = Environmental, Social, Governance Apparently they were included as a top 5 holding, because the ESG scoring system automatically excluded so many investments that Saudi Arabia actually appeared to be one of the cleaner ones fitting the emerging market bond criteria. However, ESG funds seem to own more dictatorships and authoritarian government assets and debt instruments than even a typical emerging bond index. Oops. [link] [comments]  |

| Goldman Sachs Bullish on Gold for 2020 Posted: 27 Nov 2019 03:04 PM PST Goldman Sachs has a bullish outlook on gold. Analysts at the investment bank see prices pushing to $1,600 an ounce next year. The price of gold currently sits at $1459.62. That is a nearly 10% gain from present day prices. December gold futures are trading at about $1,456.70 an ounce. On Sunday, the investment bank stated in a report that it likes the precious metal for 2020, because investors are looking for alternative investment assets. "Investment deficit creates excess savings, supporting gold. In theory, savings should equal investment, but due to this decline in capex and a rise in precautionary cash balances, a savings surplus is beginning to develop that is supporting gold prices," the analysts wrote. "When combined with 750 tonnes of central bank gold purchases related to de-dollarization and defensive portfolio rotations, the savings glut means we maintain our bullish gold stance in 2020 with a target of $1600/toz.." The investment bank's analysts believe that heightened global uncertainty, along with slowing economic growth, could support gold prices. Recession concerns remain, moreover, according to the analysts. Increasing inflation, as the Federal Reserve keeps interest rates low, could buoy gold prices. A potential flight from the dollar could also help support the gold price. Goldman Sachs is less bullish on silver for 2020. The investment bank does see prices increasing to $18 an ounce, a gain of 6.5% over current prices. "Outside of investment demand, silver fundamentals remain challenged as industrial demand contracted and mine supply, while flat this year, is expected to grow strongly in 2020," the analysts said. "While we expect investor interest in the precious space to be high in 2020 it will likely be less than during 2H19 when recession fears spiked. In such an environment while gold investment can continue to grow silver often gets overlooked being the marginal precious metal." source: https://goldsilverbitcoin.com/goldman-sachs-gold-prediction-2020/ [link] [comments]  |
| Friends tell me you don't touch the principal if you live on the dividends only in retirement. Posted: 28 Nov 2019 01:47 AM PST Some of my retired friends are so proud of themselves because they live on the dividends of their various stocks, ETF's and Mutual Funds. They have the dividends go directly into their bank accounts instead of reinvesting them. So they can pay their bills they only invest in high dividend stocks, ETF's and Mutual Funds with an annual yield of about 3.5%. I tell them because they don't reinvest the dividends and spend them instead, they are in fact drawing down the principal. Why? Because the value of the stock drops an equal amount of the dividend shortly before the dividend is paid. My friends reject this out of hand. Who is right? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 28 Nov 2019 03:22 AM PST I am an investor in Europe who is becoming more aware of the impact of his lifestyle on both the environment and society and I would like to engage in investment opportunities with a socially responsible character, in the themes of Green, Ethical, Sustainable, Humanitarian, Ecological, Carbon Offsetting, environmental, etc. How do I best approach this? I've contacted the bank but am unsure if they can offer good opportunities. The idea is to help contribute to development projects with a socially responsible character and that still offer a return-on-investment, even though it might be reduced. Basically, I'd be willing to lose some profits for the additional feel-good factor and helping to contribute to the world a bit. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Nov 2019 11:26 PM PST As I near holiday break I was wondering if there are any verifications, online courses or anything of the like I could take for Technical Analysis? I'm only a freshman in college but have spent the past few months studying through various books, videos, and so on. Most of the certifications require you to be in your final year of your undergraduate, have 3-5 years in the finance world and so on. I'm trying to buff myself up a little bit so I'm more attractive when I transfer schools next year while learning about something I'm interested in. For reference, I was looking at starting the process for the CMT and CFT but the requirements obviously don't fit me as being a freshman undergraduate there's a pretty large barrier for entry. Any help would be appreciated greatly, thank you in advice. [link] [comments]  |

| Honest Q RE: Pension Lump Sum Payout Rollover Dynamics (Taxation) Posted: 28 Nov 2019 02:14 AM PST As background, an ex-employer sent me a pension lump sum payment via check (totaling ~$40k) and it is addressed to me. I clearly indicated that my decision was a direct rollover of the amount to an IRA / 401k (and no such tax withholding or 10% early penalty was reflected) — and I still intend to deposit the check to Fidelity. My question: Given that the check is addressed to me, how would this be tracked if I were to deposit the check directly to my Chase Brokerage Account and simply invested it that way? How would it be tracked for taxation purposes? I clearly intend to roll it directly into my Fidelity IRA, but I am just curious given the assumed 60-day rule to complete such rollover. Would this amount be reflected in my gross taxable income for the year for tax purposes? Would I have to produce documentation to confirm that the amount was indeed rolled directly into an eligible retirement account? To confirm, I am not asking to potentially game the system here; I am simply asking for my own edification. Thank you all in advance for the help! [link] [comments]  |

| Interactive Brokers Currency Conversion Error Posted: 27 Nov 2019 09:26 PM PST I tried to do a currency conversion through Interactive Brokers app (have done this multiple times over the last few months) and it is kicking up a 'cash quantity cannot be used for this order' error. This is happening both in mine and my wife's account. Anyone know why this might be? Edit - Converting SGD cash to USD. It looks like USD to others is still working as normal. [link] [comments]  |

| Good books for “modern” economics? Posted: 27 Nov 2019 10:13 PM PST Finishing up a book called "Power and Plenty" which is giving me a good basis for economics that involves trade mostly. I'm looking for a book that explains the more "modern" economics concepts such as interest rates effects on bond yields and how that affects the economy, market etc. How currencies strengthen or weaken as a result of xyz (I know trade affects it). You guys know what I mean by modern economics right? Please suggest any books because this power and plenty book was mint. [link] [comments]  |
