Posted: 04 Dec 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.

What is the purpose of this sub? Posted: 03 Dec 2019 11:01 AM PST -Buy SP500 ETF -Don't dump it all in, dollar cost average! -Hold forever! -Actively managed funds suck because they don't outperform the SP500!

Look at the Nikkei, it sucks! "But, past performance isn't indica..." -Except the SP500! It only goes up since 100 years! "Ok, SP500 it is. When do I buy it?" -Yesterday! Asap!

China capex growth hits three-year low as weak economy, trade war drag Posted: 04 Dec 2019 02:19 AM PST https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-capex/china-capex-growth-hits-three-year-low-as-weak-economy-trade-war-drag-idUSKBN1Y809F Capital investment by Chinese firms has ground to its slowest pace in three years, as a weakening economy, tight credit and prolonged trade war with the United States dent sales growth and cash reserves, a Reuters analysis showed. Capex Growth Revenue grew 6.7%, the weakest in at least three years - the earliest period for which data from a comparable number of firms is available - while net profit rose 7.8% versus nearly 22% two years earlier. Sales and Profit Growth Interestingly the article ends as follows: Car maker Zotye Automobile Co Ltd (000980.SZ) saw revenue in the September quarter drop 88% on year, and TV and smartphone maker TCL Corp (000100.SZ) cut capital expenditure by 72%. Yet while earnings reports indicate a slowdown, growth in factory activity neared a three-year high in November, reinforcing upbeat government data released over the weekend. My question is where people expecting 22% growth to go on forever? submitted by /u/accountinreddit [link] [comments]

Anyone is using Exante? Posted: 04 Dec 2019 02:06 AM PST I'm looking for broker to start investments (living in Switzerland as it might make difference :) ) and I found Exante. Their platform seems fine to me and fees are generally low, but are they trustworthy? They're working since 2008, but there are extremely few info/articles/mentions in internet I could find about them, which concerns me a bit. Also company with address in UK but license in Cyprus doesn't look very legit for me - but yeah, I'm a n00b so maybe I'm seeing this incorrectly. ​ So, is anyone working with Exante and could recommend them? submitted by /u/Yatmai [link] [comments]

U.S., China Move Closer to Trade Deal Despite Heated Rhetoric Posted: 04 Dec 2019 01:28 AM PST The U.S. and China are moving closer to agreeing on the amount of tariffs that would be rolled back in a phase-one trade deal despite tensions over Hong Kong and Xinjiang, people familiar with the talks said, Bloomberg News reports.

Has anyone looked into the correlation between world population growth and fractional reserve/central banking? Posted: 04 Dec 2019 12:50 AM PST world population "The Swedish Riksbank was the world's first central bank, created in 1668. Many nations followed suit in the late 1600s to establish central banks which were given the legal power to set the reserve requirement, and to specify the form in which such assets are required to be held. In order to mitigate the impact of bank failures and financial crises. central banks were also granted the authority to centralize banks' storage of precious metal reserves, thereby facilitating transfer of gold in the event of bank runs, to regulate commercial banks, impose reserve requirements, and to act as lender-of-last-resort if any bank faced a bank run. The emergence of central banks reduced the risk of bank runs which is inherent in fractional-reserve banking, and it allowed the practice to continue as it does today." Both seem to start at the same time in history. Any thoughts? submitted by /u/TDMarsh [link] [comments]

The Water Wars that Defined the American West Are Heading East Posted: 03 Dec 2019 06:31 AM PST CAMILLA, Ga.—Water stress, a hallmark of the American West, is spreading east. The shift is evident on Casey Cox's family farm in Georgia's agricultural heartland, where she turned on five giant rotating sprinklers to see her sweet corn through weeks of hot, dry weather last spring. "If we hadn't had irrigation, our crop would have burned up completely," said Ms. Cox, who with her father also produces soybeans, peanuts and timber on 2,400 acres. More water to save Ms. Cox's crops, though, often means less for neighbors to the south such as Rickey Banks. He gave up his life as a Florida oysterman when his fishery, which depends on water from the same river basin as Ms. Cox's farm, collapsed during a drought. Increasing competition for water is playing out across the Eastern U.S., a region more commonly associated with floods and hurricanes and one that was mostly a stranger, until recently, to the type of bitter interstate water dispute long seen in the West. Eastern farmers' rising thirst for water, together with urban growth and climate change, now is taxing water supplies and fueling legal fights that pit states against each other. The shift has exposed the region to changes in water supply occurring globally as swelling populations, surging industrial demand and warmer temperatures turn a resource seen as a natural right into a contested one. In the U.S., burgeoning coastal populations have lowered water tables and dried up streams in Long Island, N.Y. Near Tampa, Fla., groundwater pumping has drawn saltwater into aquifers, drained lakes and triggered sinkholes. Decades of pumping by farmers and others have led to sharp declines in critical aquifers that flank the lower Mississippi River. "What keeps me awake at night is not western water issues—it's the East," said Lara Fowler, an attorney and professor of water law and policy at Pennsylvania State University... More states in the East are placing first-ever restrictions on permits for water use, said Barton "Buzz" Thompson, a professor of natural-resources law at Stanford University, who served as special master in a decadelong fight between Montana and Wyoming over Yellowstone River water. Some water experts say eastern states are still unprepared for scarcity, armed with a patchwork of regulations and laws that assume water will remain plentiful. Unlike in the West, where most major river basins are governed by interstate compacts, only a few such agreements exist in the East. I know the water theme has been sort of laughed at ever since The Big Short popularized it, but I do think it remains a long-term investment theme of interest, and one that is likely to grow more acute over time. This article deals primarily with farming and irrigation, but some great (IMO) relevant companies that I have picked up recently include: $ECL, $DHR, $AQUA, $WAAS, $XYL, $ROP. I haven't invested specifically in the utilities per se, but more so the businesses that help conserve or filter/purify water, and increase efficiency of use. What do you guys think? https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-water-wars-that-defined-the-american-west-are-heading-east-11575315318?mod=hp_featst_pos1 submitted by /u/Wolf_Of_1337_Street [link] [comments]

Wealthsimple vs. Capital One 360 Posted: 03 Dec 2019 03:59 PM PST Just found out from a representative that Capital One 360 can no longer be linked to Wealthsimple for investing for privacy / security reasons. I haven't heard this from anyone on this site so I'd thought I'd share. I've been trying to connect them for days but nada. submitted by /u/AdriLovesRicki [link] [comments]

Audio has gone to network for anything beyond your living room. Posted: 03 Dec 2019 11:30 PM PST Audinate (AD8) has taken over the audio market like Microsoft has taken over with Teams and 365.

What's the point in having multiple portfolio strategies? Posted: 03 Dec 2019 11:15 PM PST Some people I know, relatively young and not near retirement, have a general total market portfolio based on market cap weighted ETFs and in addition have a dividend growth portfolio. Isn't that counter intuitive and a good way to dilute compounding long term? submitted by /u/befal92269 [link] [comments]

How do you track and present your investment portfolio to a prospective employer? Posted: 03 Dec 2019 11:12 PM PST Hey yall, new guy here! Im getting my BA in finance in May 2020 and I'll start looking for a full time job as a buy side analyst (or any entry position whatsoever). Besides my university qualifications (Im a CFA candidate as well) and all of that, my guess is that employers look for people with something other than just theoretical knowledge. I have been testing my valuation skills and hypotheses with a simulator (wall street survivor) for a few months now and just recently started a real money portfolio with an actual broker. My questions for anyone in the industry are: How did you present your track record to your employer? What tools did you use (I mean did you use any app or platform or a plain powerpoint presentation)? Should I include my performance from the simulator as well or wait until I have enough record in my real brokerage account? submitted by /u/jpaniagua26 [link] [comments]

"the intelligent investor, Benjamin Graham" as the first investing book Posted: 03 Dec 2019 12:36 PM PST Hello, I recently started on this and I would like to know if this book is the right one as the "first book" about investing. submitted by /u/thewolfOOFwallstreet [link] [comments]

Roth Conversion Posted: 03 Dec 2019 06:27 PM PST Hi everyone. I just opened a brand new traditional IRA on Vanguard today. I deposited 6k and am waiting for that to finish depositing. My income is above the threshold for a Roth, so I'm planning on doing a conversion. My question is: do I have to invest the 6k into funds and THEN do the conversion? Or can I simply convert the cash into the roth. And then when it's in the roth, then decide which funds to invest into. submitted by /u/boyinahouse [link] [comments]

Nomura Warns Of Imminent "Gamma-Flip" Risk In Stocks Posted: 03 Dec 2019 10:54 AM PST Nomura's Charlie McElligott explains below is simple - what forced self-reinforcing buying pressure on the way up is about to feed a vicious cycle of selling on the way down as stocks face an imminent "gamma flip." Futures Positioning And McEligott explains: The interpretation of Trump's "better to wait until after the election" for a China trade deal comments is that the Hong Kong human rights bill sponsorship by POTUS has clearly caused agitated the Chinese side (plus this morning's Reuters report stating that the White House is considering kicking Huawei out of the US banking system), and in conjunction with the narrowing window to act on the Dec 15th tariff "fill or kill," is likely incentivizing monetization of of the +9% gain made in S&P since early October via profit-taking in recently Options- ($Delta still 94th %ile since 2013 even after yday's selloff) and Futures- (Asset Manager S&P Futures $notional position currently 99.6th %Ile since 2006 at $141.7B) positioning "extremes." submitted by /u/Lyman-Zerga [link] [comments]
