Homebody in a Hoodie: Hedge Fund Founder Builds Quant Paradise Posted: 07 Dec 2019 11:27 PM PST Steven Schonfeld's firm has gained about 20% a year since 2014 Billionaire completes $111 million deal for Palm Beach estate Steven Schonfeld is a hedge fund billionaire of a different breed. He's almost always in a hoodie, drawn from a closet full of them. He shuns the Wall Street crowd. You'll never see him at a gala in Manhattan or at Davos or Aspen. Mostly he stays home in Old Westbury, New York. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-12-03/homebody-in-a-hoodie-hedge-fund-founder-builds-quant-paradise submitted by /u/LightningPlus [link] [comments]

Gold Stocks Still A Good Bet For 2020? Posted: 08 Dec 2019 10:58 AM PST Just because we saw a brief pullback with many mining names, I don't think that is a major deterrent in the long run for a bullish gold argument. This was a good article highlighting a list of gold stocks that actually performed well at the end of the week last week when other names were getting smashed. Overall, I like NEM, BTG, and plus a few of the ones mentioned in that article. Anyone else agreement that mining/gold stocks aren't done quite yet? submitted by /u/jameson62 [link] [comments]

There are two versions of the S&P 500 index — this is the better investment Posted: 08 Dec 2019 07:18 PM PST One weights companies by market value; the other treats them equally Wouldn't the S&P 500 index be improved if it gave equal weight to all 500 stocks? Their argument gained particular credence in the years immediately after the 2008 financial crisis, when the equal-weighted version of the S&P 500 significantly outperformed the cap-weighted version. In six of the eight years from 2009 through 2016, the equal-weighted version came out on top, as this chart shows. Since 2016, however, the tables have turned. 2019 is shaping up as the third year in a row in which the cap-weighted version of the S&P 500 comes out ahead. At a minimum, therefore, this just goes to show that nothing comes out on top forever. But I would argue the cap-weighted version of the S&P 500 is the better bet for long-term performance. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/there-are-two-versions-of-the-sp-500-index-this-is-the-better-investment-2019-12-06 submitted by /u/LightningPlus [link] [comments]

Is the USD/CAD having a downtrend right now? Posted: 08 Dec 2019 01:17 PM PST Im new to stock trading, and I'm just making sure. submitted by /u/kenjijr [link] [comments]

Buying stocks with $5,000 Posted: 08 Dec 2019 01:11 AM PST I may have a bit of spare cash to spare, not more than $5,000. I want to invest this and wanted to know if this is enough to get started buying equities? I do not want to buy and hold, instead I want to try and get a better ROI by swing trading it. Given the small amount should I forget about trading in equities and look at futures or options instead? Thanks. submitted by /u/kazman [link] [comments]

Traders Are Already Bracing for a Wild Week Ahead Posted: 07 Dec 2019 11:13 PM PST Yields edge toward top of range ahead of Fed, ECB, U.K. vote Trade talks could steal the show as Dec. 15 deadline nears Investors face a crush of events next week that could sweep away the biggest hurdles to a full-blown race into riskier assets, if things line up just right. Over the second half of the week, possible catalysts for a Treasury market sell-off will arrive in close succession: Policy decisions from the U.S. and euro-zone central banks are expected to offer no fresh hints of easing in the cards, and the U.K. election could finally pave a more resolute course for an exit from the European Union. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-12-07/traders-brace-for-wild-week-awaiting-central-banks-u-k-vote submitted by /u/LightningPlus [link] [comments]
