| What’s the deal with all these forex traders on Instagram? Posted: 28 Jan 2020 09:00 PM PST For the past several months my instagram has been increasingly growing with people advertising forex trading. They all basically preach the same thing by saying "Escape the 9-5", and "do you want to be financially free?", etc. Surely this isn't actually legit right? These people are even offering classes to teach you how to do it (you have to pay them of course). I don't know the first thing about investing or trading, but I feel like those that actually know how to trade simply won't just teach you in like 2 months for $200. Can somebody give some insight on this? It seems like such a scam and pyramid scheme to me but so many people are doing it I just wanna make sure. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 28 Jan 2020 06:40 PM PST If you were to go full on Marie Kondo and assemble a portfolio of only stocks that spark joy for you personally--what would it look like? And by spark joy, I'm not talking about the joy of returns, but the sense that the products/services genuinely bring you joy. I realize this kind portfolio might exclude whole industries (i.e. not sure Lockheed's guided missile systems spark joy for many people, but maybe their existence brings peace of mind). Here's mine: AAPL (phone), DNKN (Munchkins), DEO (Guinness), UL (Q-Tips), HSY (Reese's), NFLX (ever since the DVD days), RCL (total relaxation), COF (cash back rewards). [link] [comments]  |
| 3M to cut 1,500 jobs, profit falls 28% Posted: 28 Jan 2020 10:09 AM PST Jan 28 (Reuters) - U.S. industrial giant 3M Co reported a 28% fall in quarterly profit on Tuesday due to restructuring and litigation charges and said it would cut 1,500 jobs globally as it looks to reduce costs. Net income attributable to 3M fell to $969 million, or $1.66 per share, in the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, from $1.35 billion, or $2.27 per share, a year earlier. On an adjusted basis, the maker of Post-it notes and Scotch tape earned $1.95 per share in the quarter. Net sales fell 2.1% to $8.11 billion. [link] [comments]  |

| How would a leveraged ETF perform since the beginning of the stock market? Posted: 29 Jan 2020 12:58 AM PST Does anyone have the skills to run a simulation to see how a leveraged ETF performs against its index since the stock market was created? Would it crash and never be able to return at points such as the great depression, great recession, and black Monday or would it ultimately end up outperforming the index? Here's a guy doing it since 1986 with positive results so I'm curious what it would look like if we go back even farther. Probably wouldn't go so well would be my guess. [link] [comments]  |
| Expectations for Microsoft earnings? Posted: 28 Jan 2020 09:19 PM PST Curious if people are optimistic on Microsoft's earnings and future. [link] [comments]  |
| Real estate investing for fun and profit? Posted: 28 Jan 2020 06:52 PM PST My wife and I have been talking for a few years now about purchasing a second house once we have our current one paid off in a few years (about 3-5 years depending on the market). Near our location there is a lakeside area that happens to be near ski lodges, several major hiking trails (including the AT), not to mention the lake. It seems like it would give us the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors without being rushed. But since it wouldn't be a primary home, I would look to rent it out a week at a time to other folks via either an Airbnb thing, or some "rental home" booking service. I'm hoping that the same things drawing us to the area would be drawing other renters. Now, I am still a few years out and want to start doing my research. So I am curious who has purchased a second home for personal use, with rental income as a "perk"? Has it worked well? Any major pitfalls? Any good reading suggestions? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Jan 2020 08:37 PM PST Here's a phone conversation I just had with Fidelity. Me > Your site's help section mentions a Performance page to view portfolio rates of return. Why don't I see it? Fidelity Support Agent > Oh Performance used to be a premium feature but now anyone can get it. We just don't say that anywhere. Me > Uh okay... so can I get it for my account? Fidelity Support Agent > Sure, that's very simple! (puts me on hold for 10 minutes) Fidelity Support Agent >> So the request was put in. If you meet the minimum then you'll get access within 48 hours. Thanks and have a nice day! Me > Wait, what do you mean "minimum" Fidelity Support Agent > (pause) What? Me > What's "the minimum"? Fidelity Support Agent > Uh, I can't hear you, you're cutting out (he actually said this). Me (getting angrier) > Look you just said there's some sort of minimum I have to meet. Fidelity Support Agent > I did? Me > Yes! What did you mean??? Fidelity Support Agent > (long pause) I can't tell you. Me > What? Why? Fidelity Support Agent > Sir I'm just trying to tell you that the request has been put in. Me > Say my dad wanted to see his portfolio RoR. How would he know if he should bother calling in to request access? Fidelity Support Agent > How much in funds does he have under management with us? Me > It's in dollars? Uh... I don't know, maybe XXX? Fidelity Support Agent > Then he would probably qualify. Me > So you can say what the minimum is. Fidelity Support Agent > (pause) No, well... look. Sir, it's policy. Me > And Fidelity doesn't tell people about any of this on its website? Fidelity Support Agent > Um, I'm not sure what you're asking. Me (disgusted) > I'm sure you don't. Thanks flunkie. This isn't the first obnoxious thing Fidelity has pulled and I've finally had it. Can someone recommend a different brokerage firm that doesn't play weird games with its customers?

| Posted: 28 Jan 2020 02:25 PM PST Based on the earnings report, AMD did well, but not well enough in a couple of ways apparently: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/amd-stock-slides-as-outlook-falls-below-wall-street-view-2020-01-28 Their expected earnings in the first quarter are slightly less than what analysts forecast, and they didn't increase their datacenter revenue as much as predicted. In other areas including earnings per share, overall revenue and net income, and their largest area of computing and graphics chips sales, they outperformed expectations. But they still slumped down approaching market close and then after close due to the news, currently hovering at around $48.60 a share. Do you foresee them rallying back up to the low 50's again within the next few months, and if you do, do you think they'll stay there, or is that too lofty for AMD to maintain? I'm not sure.

| Posted: 29 Jan 2020 03:38 AM PST $GE beats earnings. I don't have $GE but I am really happy for it - this is a company that should do well. [link] [comments]  |
| What does the table 'Connections' mean on MarketScreener? Posted: 29 Jan 2020 03:33 AM PST On the right hand side of profile pages of people and companies on marketscreener.com there is a table that says 'Connections'. What does that mean? [link] [comments]  |
| Pre market futures pointing to a nice gain today. Posted: 28 Jan 2020 05:33 AM PST Pre-Market showing healthy gains. Looks like we're over this virus scare. Nice little buying opportunity the past few days but things look to be swinging back to normal now. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Jan 2020 03:34 PM PST Looking back, I think long term US bonds (treasury and corporate) were some of the best investments that could have been made for the last 50 years. They experienced very strong returns, along with significantly reduced standard deviation compared to the total US stock market (or even just S&P 500). However, at the same time, interest rates have been falling in the US nearly the entire time. We saw at the beginning of 2019 a sharp drop in US stock markets when the Fed started tightening. Around the world, central banks have remained at 0%interest rates much longer than the US did post GFC. That is, if they didn't move to negative interest rates (see Japan). That said, what does r/investing think going forward? I'm not speaking about only 2020, but longer term, 2040, 2050, ... etc. Or, perhaps this is more a question for r/economics? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Jan 2020 01:07 PM PST It seems to me that there are different methodologies in order to increase portfolio size while minimizing volatility and drawdowns (e.g. three fund portfolio, all weather portfolio). However, these don't maximize gains. Let's say I have a 25 year time horizon. My understanding is that this should be long enough so that drawdowns don't matter. In this case, I'm just looking to only maximize my returns without speculation (e.g. bitcoin or penny stocks). What vehicles I should be investing in without picking individual stocks (e.g. international funds, real estate, small cap, etc) that would maximize returns? Is there a tool I can use to gauge the historical performances of these vehicles? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Jan 2020 01:54 AM PST Hello Fellow Investors and Enthusiasts, I am working on a research project with the view of trying to understand the dynamics of how people are investing and any problems that may arise when it comes to tracking the investments and wider portfolios; particularly among investors who have more than one account. A thumbs up and 2 minutes to fill out this survey will go a long way <3 https://forms.gle/PeEaauevknhkZoj78 Thank you for your help, OP [link] [comments]  |
| Private Equity taxes into a group based in CA as an investor in TX Posted: 28 Jan 2020 09:02 PM PST I am going to talk to my CPA tomorrow, but thought I'd post here in the mean time to see if I could get any insight. If someone living in Texas invested in a PE group based in California (looking at Mosaic specifically) and I subject to california state taxes just be working with them? Would it depend on if their actual investemnts were specifically in CA vs elsewhere? It's not so much paying required taxes I'm concerned about, just weary of ever getting on that states radar as I hear they're particularly vicious. The horror stories I've read about the CA Franchise Tax Board had largely been around personal income tax from people that lived there at one point but then left and are still harassed about needing to file returns with them even though they no longer lived there. Not sure how applicable all that nonsense is for investment arrangements like this. [link] [comments]  |
| Aurora ACB is oversold. Will rebound soon. Thoughts? Posted: 28 Jan 2020 12:09 PM PST Aurora, along with most cannabis stocks, is slumping. However it's chart indicates a strong possibility of trend reversal and break out. RSI on 5 year is very oversold: 28 MACD is crossing bullish It's sitting at the price levels it held before the weed bubble a few years ago: possible support It's short interest as of 1/15/2020 is a whopping 18% of float In my opinion, this is primed for a break out/ short squeeze in the next few months. Please let me know your thoughts, especially any key points you disagree with. I am aware my analysis is not the most sophisticated but I feel it is sound. Thanks to all! [link] [comments]  |
| What's the "worst case scenario" in a massive ETF sell-off? Posted: 28 Jan 2020 07:34 AM PST As an example, let's assume there's a big market downturn and a large percentage of passive investors decide to sell VOO (Vanguard's S&P 500 ETF) out of fear. What are the potential problems that could occur? When reading the "risks" outlined by Vanguard (VOO's Terms), they state...
Is there a possibility that trading could be frozen (no buying or selling) on VOO and other ETF's in a massive sell-off? Based on what Mark Fitzgerald, head of equity product management at Vanguard said (article)...
It sounds like in a "doomsday" scenario, those still holding VOO, are entitled to the underlying shares. Am I correct in assuming Vanguard would issue stocks to VOO shareholders if they went defunct? [link] [comments]  |
| US core capital goods orders post biggest drop in 8 months Posted: 28 Jan 2020 10:19 AM PST New orders for key U.S.-made capital goods dropped by the most in eight months in December and shipments were weak, suggesting business investment contracted further in the fourth quarter and was a drag on economic growth. The Commerce Department said on Tuesday orders for non-defense capital goods excluding aircraft, a closely watched proxy for business spending plans, fell 0.9% last month as demand for machinery, primary metals and electrical equipment, appliances and components declined. That was the largest decrease since April. Data for November was revised lower to show these so-called core capital goods orders edging up 0.1% instead of gaining 0.2% as previously reported. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast core capital goods would be unchanged in December.

| Thoughts on Luckin Coffee $LK? Posted: 28 Jan 2020 02:12 PM PST What are your opinions for the future potential of LK? I tried their coffee in China and it tastes great! They have several stores established in the country as well [link] [comments]  |
| Anyone watching Boeings earnings tomorrow morning? Stock already crashing in after hours. Posted: 28 Jan 2020 08:57 PM PST I'm surprised everyone is negative on it but no one is interested in even talking about. This is their first earnings with their new CEO Calhoun. [link] [comments]  |
| Call Options vs ETF Purchase (Advice/Thoughts) Posted: 28 Jan 2020 10:32 AM PST Ok, I've been melting my brain on our favorite sub (r/wallstreetbets). Everyone YOLOing on margin calls on TSLA, AMD, etc. Anyway, if I have the liquid capital to purchase a decent position in a company I think is going to pop during earnings (AAPL and FB), why wouldn't I just purchase 200 shares and avoid IV/contract price? Don't have to worry about strike price and (obviously) long term tendies come. Thoughts? Are people placing call/put options just operating off lower flexible liquidity and playing margin?
