| Just an FYI about Acre Gold, they deleted my comments and blocked me, Stay far, far away Posted: 31 Dec 2019 07:22 PM PST Recently I started getting a lot of ads for a company called Acre gold. They are a subscription plan where you pay $50 a month until you hit the current price for 2.5g of gold. I asked what was the benefit of doing this considering at the time they advertised a 2.5g at $155 plus a one time membership fee and a $10 shipping per every order. If you know about gold, you already know this is ridiculous over priced. I question them about it to see if there was any added benefit and they could not answer. I just wanted to make people aware that if you just save the money yourself automatically, you would be much better off. Apparently they did not like that so they muted me and deleted my comments because they obviously know they are targeting people who are not aware. There business model is "A fool and their money are soon parted". Please stay away from them. Buy low and sell high my friends. P.S you can currently get 2.5g of gold from Monument Metals for 143.50 plus free shipping. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 31 Dec 2019 04:35 PM PST As the title says, I'm currently investing for my children because I want them to learn and understand money and investing from a young age. A long time ago I read here about a father that had purchased stock certificates in his children's names back when they still did that. And that he taught his kids about their ownership and showed them the dividend checks in their name. He spoke about how beneficial it had been and I love that! I know Disney no longer does the physical certificates, but still want to recreate this as closely as possible. I've already made investments into Disney with them in mind, can I transfer it to their names? Or do I need to buy it in their names to begin with. And the part that seems hardest, how can I get the dividend checks made out in their names? Thanks everyone! Edit: Thank you so much for my first Gold kind stranger!! I'm glad it was for something like this rather than something ridiculous Edit2: Thank you all very much for your input! Currently my plan is as follows:
Extra info: My kids are less than 3. The reason I want the checks is because it is physical, tangible, and usable. It has their names on it and the Disney corporation/logo on it - addressed to them specifically. That is more powerful than a digital copy and is much more useful as a teaching tool for a young kid. As they grow, I am absolutely going to be taking advice from many of you about getting them their own brokerage accounts and showing them the ropes, etc. [link] [comments]  |
| Is it common for average Janes and Joes in the US to own stock directly? Posted: 31 Dec 2019 05:21 AM PST If you ignore IRA, 401k and Roth IRA, how common would you say it is for an average American to buy stocks in their own name? I asked in a none investing sub and got the answers "not common at all", so I thought I'd ask this demographic too. Edit: Turns out the answer is 14% Edit 2: It now turns out 14% is not the case, that's just the amount of American who have a brokerage account. Most (?) use them for ETFs and mural funds hence don't fall into the answer to my question. [link] [comments]  |

| Risk Adjusted Performance of The Common Robinhood Portfolio Posted: 31 Dec 2019 03:07 PM PST https://i.imgur.com/1t0OvhG.png Someone posted the nine most commonly held stocks in Robinhood portfolios recently and well to no one's surprise there's a lot of junk in there, but what do they say "anyone can make money in a bull market". I was curious to how they performed, so I created an equal-weight portfolio and backtested through 2019 to find out how it did on a risk adjusted basis compared to different sectors. And well, it's ugly. In short the virtual portfolio took on an additional 42% of market risk compared to a 100% SPY portfolio in 2019, and trailed in risk-adjusted returns returns by over 40%. Ouch. For anyone curious the 9 most popular for 2019 were: ACB, GE, F, FIT, MSFT, AAPL, GPRO, CRON, AMD [link] [comments]  |

| Why did SMSI shares almost double in value, seemingly out of the blue around July 29th? Posted: 01 Jan 2020 01:55 AM PST Preface: I'm young and completely new to investing, so take it easy on me. What confuses me about Smith Micro Software: what are they producing? Their products page displays software that's archaic. That is, better solutions seemingly already exist. On Glassdoor, I see so many people complaining about how management sucks. So my question: why did their shares almost double in value around July 29th of 2019? How is this company making money? Am I completely missing something? My confusion is deepened by the fact that Investopedia recommended it as a penny stock to invest in for 2020. [link] [comments]  |
| Popular/well known stocks that are inexpensive? Posted: 31 Dec 2019 09:48 PM PST Can anyone recommend popular/well known stocks that are inexpensive (e.g. Ford)? I already have a 401k with a strong balance for my age as well as an IRA that I throw money into from time to time (100% SWYJX), but I opened a brokerage account to invest relatively small amounts until I gain experience. Schwab doesn't allow partial shares so ideally I'd like to find something I can invest in that isn't pricey (under $30). Any suggestions? [link] [comments]  |

| Discussion of Expected Future Returns in the Market (ETF + Index Funds) Posted: 01 Jan 2020 12:59 AM PST Hi, I have noticed many people seem to be recommending buying S&P index funds or ETFs en mass on this subreddit. The reasoning behind this seems to be that the stocks in indices such as the S&P and NASDAQ have historically returned (that I have seen quoted on this sub) anywhere from 6 – 10% per year. The rationale has been that stocks most of the time are at all-time highs and stocks only go up over the long-term therefore you are 'guaranteed' this return if you simply hold long enough. I have done some rudimentary calculations below using a compound interest formula to test these projections. I would like to get some discussion and thoughts about the results. Assumptions: Current level of the Dow (1/1/20) – 28,538.44 Current level of S&P (1/1/20) – 3,230.78 Current Level of Nasdaq (1/1/20) – 8,972.60 Historical Growth Rates: For the Dow: Historical annual growth rate from 1921 – 2018 is 7.75% without adjusting for inflation or dividends. For the S&P: Historical annual growth rate of 7.96% from 1957 – 2018 For the Nasdaq: Historical annual growth rate of 10.8% from 1972 - 2018 Now, let's assume stocks in these indices can return on average a 7% p.a return (which includes reinvesting dividends) that many people are suggesting that is compound over the next 80 years (End Year: 2100). 7% p.a on the Dow – 6,399,300 7% p.a on the S&P – 724,452 7% p.a on the NASDAQ – 2,011,965 If we assume stable inflation rate of 2% p.a, the real return will be 5% p.a: 5% p.a on the Dow – 1,414,406 5% p.a on the S&P 500 – 160,122 5% p.a on the Nasdaq – 444,695 Even if you decide your time frame was only 30 years (End Year: 2050) 7% p.a on the Dow – 217,242 7% p.a on the S&P – 24,594 7% p.a on the Nasdaq – 68,302 Real Return after 2% inflation: 5% p.a on the Dow – 123,341 5% p.a on the S&P – 13,963 5% p.a on the Nasdaq – 38,779 My Question: Are these returns being promoted realistic (ie is a 24.5k or even a 14k S&P feasible)? Vanguard are projecting 6.6% p.a return in the over the next 30 years which is close to the 7% used in the calculations. But, how large would the market caps of the underlying companies in the index be required to achieve these levels? There are already huge companies such as Microsoft and Apple with $1.2 trillion+ valuations as well as Amazon and Alphabet with just under $1 trillion. These companies are already trading on multiples which price them to achieve significant growth in the future. To get to the projected levels would there need to be large numbers of $1 trillion + companies with the companies concentrated at the top with over $5 trillion valuations (or higher) taking up most of the index weighting (it is also very likely many companies today won't exist in 30 years / could be broken up)? I can't image where technology will be in 10 years, let alone 30 or 80 years into the future (maybe asteroid mining who knows), but surely there will be resource and capital constraints that would make these projections overly optimistic. Finally, even if the underlying S&P index were to double from the current levels how many more giant companies would there need to be / how much more market cap would the other stocks that aren't in the top 50 need to gain? I am using a basic compounding formula for these projections so feel free to correct me if I'm making some fundamental flaws or use your own projection Just wanted to people thoughts on this. I also have a portion of my own portfolio in passive investments, but these projected returns look VERY optimistic if you buy today and seem anything but a guaranteed and sure thing that many people are promoting on almost every advice thread in this sub. I understand that the point you buy at and whether you buy consistently (market tops + dips) and reinvest dividends will also affect your total return. This post only includes US indices but I would also be interested in hearing opinions about international markets Cheers [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 31 Dec 2019 10:13 PM PST Hi, Is there a website or platform that can do trailing alert instead of fixed price alert? Example the alerts will shift up according to the highest price within a year and alert will trigger if it falls 10% from the high. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 31 Dec 2019 03:47 PM PST As a shareholder you get invited to the meetings and can vote proportional to number of shares you hold. What happens with large ETFs? Are they voting and can an ETF investor direct them how to vote? [link] [comments]  |

| Invest in growth of Chinese middle class Posted: 31 Dec 2019 08:30 PM PST Here is the scenario. Chinese wage growth has been around 10% per year the past decade, from 5200usd to 11500usd (2010 to 2018). This wage growth will lead to increased spending by Chinese consumers. We know China has focused primarily on investing on manufacturing capability, growing exports, however there is only so much the world will buy. The country will gradually move towards a more consumer society, growth will come from the service economy. My question here is what companies, investments, do you think are best to capture this theme? My current ideas are food related. Chinese are poor, they don't have enough money to purchase expensive foods like more meat. As a side note, we also have the swine flu wiping out the pig population, leading to increased demands for alternative meats or proteins (Chinese consumer tend to eat pork). The demand for cheese and dairy are starting to shoot up, 25% YOY. An investment on milk would be Fonterra, since they are largest milk exporter in world. I've also considered tourism, since a richer person would be more likely to fly. For example China is building capacity from 250 to 350 airports in next few years. My goal is to find about 5 or 6 companies that fit this narrative and buy equal parts. Preferably in different industries. My home has gone up by $100,000 so I'm going to take that out and into stocks, no point having it sit in equity and earning me nothing. [link] [comments]  |
