    Aramco: Joke of an IPO

    Posted: 05 Dec 2019 10:06 AM PST

    They are pricing it at $1.7 trillion. But this is a super inflated number.

    1. They are only selling 1.5% of the company. If they had to sell 30-40% of the company the price would be much lower.

    2. They couldn't even get a decent offer from USA/Euro investors. This IPO is 100% domestic/regional.

    3. There were so few buyers that Saudi banks offered citizens cheap credit to bid for shares.

    Looking at all these factors Armaco is probably worth less than $1 trillion if it was sold on the open market and a big chunk of the shares had to be sold.

    Fed's meeting next week - 10-11 December

    Posted: 05 Dec 2019 11:22 PM PST

    In anticipation to the next meeting, some interesting stats to observe:

    • The bond market has stopped rallying with the 10-year yield stabilizing around 1.7%.
    • Atlanta Fed's GDPNow [1] sees GDP rising 1.5% by Q4.
    • S&P Earnings growth for Q4 is expected to be around 15%.

    What's your take? will we have a cut or a raise? Personally I believe the rates will stay where they are and probably by mid 2020.

    Hello folks,

    The S&P 500 energy sector has been underperforming for like 5 years already, being last or near it all the time. Any thoughts on whether or not it can rebound and why?

    Trading behind an LLC: What are you liable for?

    Posted: 05 Dec 2019 07:43 PM PST

    If I own a LLC and the company has a trading account, am I personally liable for debts to the brokerage incurred as a result of unfavorable overnight gap market movements against a margined position in the event that my company is unable to pay?

    Links to sources would be greatly appreciated.

    What's your "buy The Dip" plan?

    Posted: 05 Dec 2019 09:36 AM PST

    In this sub, there are a lot of people holding cash to "buy The Dip". I've seen lots of threads about how much cash people are holding, but not many or any about what the game plan is. What signal are you using to go bargain hunting? What is your re-entry plan?

    For example, I'm looking for plans like:

    • When SPX gaps down 5% from the previous close, or falls 5% intra-day

    • When SPX is 10% off it's last ATH

    • When TSLA falls below $200 (for those targeting a specific stock for bargain hunting)

    • Spot gold breaks above $3000, as a contrary indicator.

    Bonus question: For those waiting for the recovery after The Dip, what's the game plan for avoiding buying into a dead cat bounce?

    Personally, I'm not holding cash to buy The Dip, but I am curious about what people who are holding cash are planning to do.

    Thoughts on my investing idea?

    Posted: 05 Dec 2019 07:49 PM PST

    Before anyone suggests, I do know the safest option is through a high savings account, bond, or any other government investment, but I am 21 which is decently young, so I would rather take a higher risk and play safe when I'm like 40-50. I'm far from an expert so don't grill me too hard on this lol.
    I run a small phone farm which makes me about $6-$7 a day, so about $183-$213.50 on an avg of 30.5days a month, which isn't a lot of course, but does feel nice to make money when you sleep or not working, and every little bit helps I guess lol. I was thinking of putting all this extra cash into (preferably) monthly dividend stocks that have long term growth i.e, AMD, GAIN, O, ect. I do know stocks aren't always a guarantee to paying you or continual growth, which is why I'm not worried if I lose all the extra income I get, because it doesn't require any of my time or energy invested to the phone farm, other then about five minutes.I wanted to invest in dividend stocks because I would see some of the bigger youtuber's portfolios of constant growth, such as Andrei Jikh, Joseph Hogue, Ryan Scribner, ect.

    My idea around this is to have the free money I earn going into growing dividend stocks to keep growing through the compounding it'd do from reinvesting the dividend payout back into the stock(s). My end goal investment is real estate, but I can't really do that with the small amount I make from the phone farm, so this would be the next best thing, other then the safe investments I listed in the beginning.

    Do people buy stock based on mathematical formulas?

    Posted: 05 Dec 2019 03:03 PM PST

    I feel like I need to caveat this question twice. 1) If "yes", I am not asking you to share your formula, and 2) I don't think I can do this, because smarter people than myself agonize over stocks and I'll leave it to the experts. I'm really just curious here, no other motives.

    I don't have any real stock market experience. I max my 401k contribution, but that's as far as it goes right now. So if this question is stupid, sue me.

    I've wondered for a while if it's possible to look at a stock's analytics and calculate some kind of expected price. I've got a stock that's at $20, but according to my formula, with the inputs that I've given it, this stock should be at $25, so I should buy, because it'll rise to $25 eventually.

    Is that even a thing? Or is the market so broadly unpredictable that if there was a way to reliably predict stock movements, everyone in the market would be rich? I'm really just wondering if anyone is using a mathematical formula to decide whether to buy a particular stock, or if it's all people just looking at graphs and trying to find the dip.

    Why do investors care about SDGs and what are they looking for when anlyzing companies to invest in?

    Posted: 06 Dec 2019 02:20 AM PST

    I've recently noticed a trend of companies increasingly reporting on SDGs in their IR reports. This must mean investors are more and more concerned with that. What are some reasons behind it and what do investors look for when analysing companies in terms of SDGs?

    As a European, if I believe that there's high inflation and a global bear market in the coming years, what ETF's should I go for in order to gain at least 2% real interest rate?

    Posted: 05 Dec 2019 09:54 AM PST

    I'm thinking that if high inflation realizes, then bond ETF's aren't a great investment.

    And because I see a global bear market, stock ETF's aren't a great investment either.

    I also believe that the bear market will start at least a few months before inflation starts consistently beating targets.

    Please tell me, based on this dim prognosis, what ETF's I should go for? The objective would be to time the market, and most likely go 100% into stocks after they've fallen to 2017 prices.

    Does the “there’s a sale on!” Mentality every time that there is a dip in the market worry you?

    Posted: 06 Dec 2019 01:20 AM PST

    This type of mentality seriously scares me, that there is absolutely no way to lose if you're in it for the long haul and looking to future retirement or something.

    Admittedly I'm not the most financially literate person on the ins and outs of the stock market or other types of investments, but every time I see this type of post or comment, I'm reminded of the frenzy that the cryptocurrency market was in when bitcoin was on its meteoric rise in 2017, and how every dip only represented a flash sale before the next all time high was beaten.

    Does the current state of events not seem akin to this, albeit just on a larger, and slightly slower scale?

    Slack’s revenue jumped nearly 60% to $168.7 million in the third quarter ended Oct.31, above analysts’ average estimates of $156.0 million

    Posted: 05 Dec 2019 05:44 AM PST

    https://www.reuters.com/article/us-slack-tech-results/slack-forecast-disappoints-as-competition-weighs-shares-drop-idUSKBN1Y82TS

    In the latest quarter ended Oct. 31, Slack grew by about 20% to more than 12 million daily active users.

    They're growing but everyone is referencing the competition with Microsoft teams.

    "It may take some time for Slack to shake off the 'Microsoft overhang', but this is a step in the right direction to dispute that narrative with investors," said Rishi Jaluria from research firm DA Davidson & Co.

    1. Can I understand the business?

    1. Can I (approximately) estimate the key financial characteristics 10 years out?

    1. Is the management honest?

    1. Is the management competent?

    1. What fundamental developments would be responsible if this investment were to fail?

    1. What evidence over time would confirm my thesis?

    1. What evidence over time would disconfirm my thesis?

    1. Does the valuation of the security afford a large margin of safety vs. my intrinsic value estimate?

    1. What is the opportunity cost of making this investment?

    What questions do you guys think about before investing in a company?

    Probably really stupid but what kind of bonds are people talking about in a stocks and bonds portfolio?

    Posted: 05 Dec 2019 10:55 PM PST

    I consider myself pretty knowledgeable on investing but I was talking about portfolio allocations with someone and it just hit me that I had no idea what the bonds actually were in a stock portfolio (like 80/20 what's that 20 made of).

    Are these long term/short term government bonds? Corporate bonds? What rating?

    Ik they are all bonds people own but just looking for what type people are talking about in those 90-10, 80-20, 50-50, etc portfolios. You don't really hear 60-30-10 or anything like that so I'm assuming it's either corporate or government.

    TD Ameritrade question - Can I see total dividends earned over a period of time?

    Posted: 05 Dec 2019 02:09 PM PST

    I'm wondering if the overall position P/L includes dividends earned from owning the shares. It seems like the credit received from selling covered calls counts into the position's overall P/L, but I'm not sure if dividends are counted or where I can find that information.

    Could limit orders be used on a volatile stock to make money every day?

    Posted: 05 Dec 2019 04:37 PM PST

    I'm trying to get a little more acquainted with investing so I have been playing around with it a bit.

    Because it has been on my mind, I just had a thought and I wondered if someone could explain what is probably a flaw in my logic.

    My thought: Imagine someone has upfront capital (such as $100k) that they want to invest. Even if they managed 10% APY they would only make $10k in a year. Now suppose they found a stock or ETF that is relatively steady long term (meaning it is currently a similar value to what it was several years ago) but is volatile in the short term (swinging in a single day anywhere from $0.10-$1.00) They could take that $100k every day and set a limit order to buy $100k worth of the stock when it is around a low for the past few days, but not too low to not get the buy, and then set another limit order once it does buy for something higher but still expected to hit in the same day. For my example let's say they are able to sell for $0.20 higher than they bought it basically every day using these limit orders (and if not it just takes an extra day or two). They almost never take a loss because they can bet on it going up soon. If the stock sells for $100, then they buy 1000 stocks on day 1. They make 1000*0.20=$200 a day. The stock market is open 253 days a year, so if they make only $200 a day (not factoring in the fact they could buy 2 more stocks the next day), then they make $50,600 in a year. That's more than a 50% increase over the year and it could be a lot higher if they reinvested the profits.

    This strategy could theoretically work for people with a lot less money too, just at lower returns.

    So my question is, why wouldn't this work? I get that this is basically just day trading while letting the limit orders do the work for you, but it seems like it shouldn't be that hard to find some stocks that behave like this (swinging a lot day after day) even if you have to switch it up every few months. Am I just wrong in that assumption? Maybe I don't actually understand how limit orders work (do they take some hours to go through?). Maybe people actually already do this but it just takes too much time or attention for the average person.

    Thanks for your input!
