    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.

    Tractor Supply just picked a Sear's executive to be their E-Commerce head...WTF?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2019 01:04 PM PST

    The Federal Reserve, has just released a research paper over Tariffs.

    It is dry and boring. TLDR: Tariffs are bad. Few positive affects are eclipsed by the negative affects.

    Is investing a very small percentage of my net worth (we’re talking 3% here) into Ethereum a bad idea?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2019 06:53 AM PST

    Just looking at it purely speculatively

    Edit: Wow this kinda blew up. I decided to buy some weed stocks instead and remain 0% crypto for now.

    Any YouTube channels you’d recommend for investing?

    Relatively new to investing and I want to get more into it. Just like everything else in my life I figure the best way for me to learn more would be through YouTube.

    The Future of AMD

    Posted: 28 Dec 2019 11:47 PM PST

    Since 2016, AMD has been on an extremely bullish trend. From $1.61/share in 2016, to now $46.18/share today. But just how long can this trend continue before we see a reversal? Will there even be a reversal or pullback going into 2020? Or will 2020 continue this promising upward trend?

    History of AMD share price

    One important limiting factor that AMD has faced two times in the past is the $48.50 level of resistance. AMD has reached this $48.50 all-time high on June 9, 2000. After this all-time high, there has been a downward trend to a lowest price of $3.10/share on October 11, 2002. AMD reversed into an upward trend after this lowest point and reached a similar all-time high of $42.70/share on March 3, 2006. Unfortunately, it got rejected at this level of resistance and bottomed out to a low, low price of $1.62/share on November 21, 2008. After this point, AMD prices never quite skyrocketed like it has in the past. That is, until July 31, 2015, when AMD reversed into a bullish trend once again and reached today's current $46.16/share.

    Is the third time a charm?

    Since this previous low of $1.61/share in 2015, AMD has increased its share price by nearly 2860%. Going off of previous times in the past, one might expect AMD to fall once again. But is this the case this time? AMD was once thought of as the second-tier in the PC gaming world. In recent years, however, this has changed since AMD has been quite competitive with their CPU products against Intel and GPU products against Nvidia. AMD currently has acquired roughy 1/3rd of both the CPU and GPU marketshare. AMD, since May 1, 2017, has consistently met or exceed its EPS estimates. As of October 29, 2019, AMD had an estimated EPS of 0.18, with the reported EPS meeting 0.18 as well. What's really exciting though, is the big jump of the estimated EPS for January 27, 2020 to 0.31. Will AMD be able to continue its trend of being consistent with meeting or exceeding their estimated EPS?

    https://www.techradar.com/news/could-amd-reveal-next-gen-nvidia-killer-graphics-card-at-ces

    [...] when we first heard from another source that the high-end 'Nvidia killer' GPU (dubbed Navi 23 at the time) would likely be based on RDNA 2 architecture. And that this graphics card is expected to debut in mid-2020 – it's potentially the RX 5900, which could be launched alongside an RX 5800, going by info recently obtained from Linux drivers – so a start of the year reveal would pretty much fit with all this.

    We've also witnessed leaked roadmaps showing that RDNA 2 Radeon GPUs are in development, and all this ties in with the possibility of the next-gen consoles possibly getting RDNA 2-powered graphics solutions – remember that those consoles have AMD chips and will support ray tracing, we know that for a fact.

    And most recently, don't forget the RRA certification leak which drove considerable speculation about how this could relate to the rumored high-end Navi graphics card, and again this could indicate a launch coming sooner rather than later. Although note that all this should be taken with a considerable degree of caution – but that said, these rumors are starting to seriously mount up now…

    My verdict

    AMD has some important make-it or break-it news for Q1 from a fundamental analysis (earnings, balance sheets, income statements, cash flow, etc.) and qualitative analysis (new products, competition, etc.) standpoint. This new information can help us confirm our belief with the future of AMD. What does /r/investing think about the future of AMD? I look forward to hearing your thoughts and speculations! :-)

    Nightly Business Report

    Posted: 28 Dec 2019 08:48 PM PST

    After 41 years on the air, I'm sad to find out that Nightly Business Report on PBS will no longer be broadcast.

    I started watching it 40 years ago, sitting on the couch next to my mom who watched it regularly. 14 years ago, I rediscovered it because it was mandatory viewing for my college economics class and have enjoyed it ever since. With the Internet and 24 hour news channels, some people might think a nightly business news summary is unnecessary. I have always found NBR to be a very relaxing way to end the day with a focus on macro economics and investing advice useful to the long term investor. Most of what is left is geared toward daily stock traders.

    News has become a money maker with hooks before every commercial break to keep us tuned in. Nightly Business Report was a service. Not sure if there is anything that can replace it.

    Suggestions for ten year investing plan

    Posted: 28 Dec 2019 10:17 PM PST

    Hi. I'm looking to start investing about 2k per month over the next ten years. I have a retirement strategy going already and want to do some general investing. I'd like a mix of stock and bond funds. I signed up for a Vanguard brokerage account but I'd be willing to go with Fidelity or some other brokerage. Can people recommend percent allocations and funds to consider? I have a high tolerance for risk and will keep contributing even through a downturn. Thanks

    Interactive brokers - is there an online course?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2019 03:40 AM PST

    I want to invest some money and set up an account with interactive brokers, but I know absolutely nothing about investing and nothing about how to use interactive brokers.

    I saw that there are some tutorials and even a course on how to trade using interactive brokers, but as someone who cannot compare/assess their validity, I am hoping someone can recommend a tutorial/course.

    (It has to be interactive brokers)

    Tia!

    Buying a Foreign CD

    Posted: 28 Dec 2019 08:06 PM PST

    Has anyone had experience buying CDs from a foreign bank or credit union? I'm looking at some reputable banks in foreign countries (albeit in developing countries) that are offering rates in the magnitude of 3-4x higher than US banks. I understand you give up the right to FDIC but it could be a risk.

    Where to invest

    Posted: 29 Dec 2019 02:42 AM PST

    Hello, not sure if this is the right way to post, but I'll give it a shot.

    I'm 18 year old school student with 2k savings. Was thinking about buying a new car but I want to make the most of my money. Investing in my eyes seems a little bit too slow. I mean, 3% growth a year isn't anything special (I think such low percent is from investing in index fund or something reliable, safe and low risk) so this way of investing isn't attracting me. Is there a way to make 10% growth a year without having to worry about your savings? Also, what is the best website, app for investing, buying stocks, shares. Thanks

    Newbie Questions

    Posted: 28 Dec 2019 06:51 PM PST

    Complete Newbie here with some questions

    What's the cheapest/easiest way to buy stocks if I already have the stocks in mind?(Am Australian)

    Their are 4 stocks I'm after in particular 1 on NYSE, 2 on ASX, 1 index fund on NASDAQ If I were to invest $500 (AUD) into each How would I go about that, what fees/costs do I need to take into consideration getting set up/ on going?

    If I buy $500 AUD of stock worth $2.50 AUD, which is due to pay a dividend soon at a div yield 10% would that be ($12.50 each quarter?) Please any help is appreciated.

    I'm looking at stocks with decent div yields that have low volatility in their history. Yet the div history payout of the above stock says "This dividend was $0.065287 and was fully franked." What does that number mean?

    Is it best/cheaper to trade on only 1 market fee wise?

    Does anyone here use VMMXX or SWVXX (i.e. money market funds) to store their emergency fund?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2019 08:10 PM PST

    Seems like the most logical thing to do. About 1.52% annual return including expense ratio. Withdrawl funds the next day if you sell before 4pm. So basically 2-days to transfer into cash (which is fine for me).

    Early investing?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2019 01:32 AM PST

    So I am going to graduate college in around 3 years. But the thing is that I can only put 200/300 bucks into stocks until I graduate. And that is living very cheap. My question is, is it worth living so cheap while going to school to invest? Seems kinda of silly when once I graduate I will be able to invest the amount of money I saved over 3 years in a very short time. Does it have to do with the dividend yield that increases over the years? What would be the benefit of investing now when it will only come to 10k in 3 years?
