    Walmart Boosts Starting Hourly Pay to $12 for Some Staff in Test

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 08:03 AM PST

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-01-24/walmart-boosts-starting-hourly-pay-to-12-for-some-staff-in-test

    Walmart Inc. is testing out a higher minimum starting wage for certain jobs in hundreds of stores as part of a broader overhaul of roles and responsibilities across its massive U.S. workforce.

    In the 500 or so stores that have introduced the retailer's new operating model, dubbed "Great Workplace," some associates in the fresh, front-end and replenishment areas will see their hourly pay rise from $11 an hour to $12, Walmart spokeswoman Jami Lamontagne said. Those roles, which Walmart has reclassified as "team associates," include cashiers, shelf stockers and deli workers.

    Please welcome to our new mod, ghostofgbt!

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 03:58 AM PST

    Please welcome to our new mod, /u/ghostofgbt!

    Hello r/StockMarket!

    I would like to introduce to you all our newest member of the mod team here at r/StockMarket, /u/ghostofgbt!

    I know I wrote up a little something for ghostofgbt in our 300K subscribers thread yesterday, but I felt having a separate dedicated thread for this would be good.

    For those of you who are new and are not very familiar with ghostofgbt, he has been one of our longest standing contributors, if not the longest standing contributor in this sub's history. About 7 years long. That is a pretty long time. Suffice to say I felt this move was long overdue. ghostofgbt's knowledge of the markets is like none I have seen or come across anywhere on the internet. We have a great friendship, and chat daily on the live chat as well.

    Bringing in ghostofgbt will allow us to expand the end of the spectrum with more actionable trades, ideas, strategies, and much more.

    For those of you who have not yet gotten the chance to check out ghostofgbt's weekly live streams, he is now hosting them in our Official Discord Live Chat every Wednesday in the #live_chat channel.

    Here was his thread which was a big hit from earlier this week for anyone who might have missed. If any of you did happen to miss it no worries, I believe ghostofgbt will be uploading his latest stream to YouTube soon.

    ghostofgbt has indicated an interest to do these weekly streams on Wednesday evenings to accommodate everyone, as that seems to be a good time for most people.

    There is a lot more planned, but for now, let's leave it here and give a big welcome in to /u/ghostofgbt into the fold! :)

    These 5 charts show the debate over whether the stock market set up for another dot-com crash

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 09:30 AM PST

    Different measures of stock-market valuation argue for different approaches to investing

    January's stock-market rally has seen U.S. equities hit record highs time and again, leaving the major benchmarks at lofty altitudes.

    The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.63% has gained 2.2% so far in January, while the S&P 500 index SPX, -0.87% has advanced 2.9% and the Nasdaq Composite index COMP, -0.80% 4.8%, setting numerous record closes along the way. This has left many market watchers worried about equity valuations and wondering whether investors are in for a nasty correction.

    Depending on your valuation measure, stocks are either approaching valuations last seen during the height of the dot-com bubble in 2000, or are reasonably priced relative to history, as the following charts will illustrate.

(CNBC)
    • Dow stock Intel (INTC) was rising 5% in premarket trading after the chipmaker reported better-than-expected adjusted quarterly profit and revenue after the bell Thursday.

    Don't just look at gain/losses independently. Compare that figure to the benchmark to see if you are over or underperforming.

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 06:42 AM PST

    From all the reports I see from different asset managers, a common theme is to show the performance of the portfolio compared to the benchmark.

    Also they break it down by attribution. So are they under/overweight compared to the benchmark in the different industries.

    If anyone wants anything else let me know, not their active positions though.. :)

    What is your morning news ritual? Trying to better understand news monitoring hurdles

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 12:25 PM PST

    Few years ago during my time as a summer analyst one of my responsibilities was to provide a summary of daily news to seniors. It involved me coming in early and checking different news and company sites (~20) for anything new that may be of interest to them.

    Being lazy I created a simple python script that would check automatically if there is anything new on those sites matching XYZ keywords and would pull all that new info into a single page. It turns out that till this day the script is being used and now I am thinking about exploring this idea a bit further.

    The first step is to better understand what are the main hurdles of the whole news monitoring process, hence this post and this survey - https://changesub.typeform.com/to/rLJ96i. It should take up to 3 minutes and by participating you would highly improve my chances of making something useful.

    If you have anything other to share about your news morning ritual, e.g. your favorite brand of coffee, or you think that you would benefit from this kind of tool, let me know in the comments.

    (Huge investment decision for me and my IRA) 80% SWTSX, 10% SWISX, 10% SFENX. Is this optimal for a 40 year IRA investment? Thanks for any feedback! (

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 05:38 AM PST

    A few tings:

    • This is for a Roth IRA. I'm in my 20s.

    • I want to get this decision right early one (i.e. now) so I can have a portfolio which I don't mess with ever going forward. Once I have the fund for like 5 years (hopefully stacking up lots of compounded returns) I'll be less likely to mess with it and trade around, which is I think will be very beneficial.

    • I prefer funds, so I can be 100% invested. I guess I'm a bit OCD and I hate seeing $84 left in cash. I also think that having ETFs just encourages me to check the market more often (to see my money going up or down mid-day) which encourages trading which I wont to avoid at all costs.

    • I do prefer mostly US stocks (hence only %20 international).

    • I use Schwab so I can buy Vanguard funds unless I want to pay a $49 fee EACH TIME (i.e. each year) I contribute.

    • The SFENX has a .39% fee which is just kinda aweful. I'm tempted to go 100% SWTSX

    So.... any tips? Is this less than optimal? What would you do differently? Any suggestions would be so nice. THANK YOU

    Question about Beta of a stock.

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 07:58 AM PST

    Does the beta of a stock measure its volatility when compared to whatever it is you're using as an indicator right? Say, PHO etf has a beta of .99. Does this mean it's 1% less volatile than the market? Or does it mean that if the market moves, it will react similarly to it?

    I know correlation measures how something moves with respect to something else, and I know it can go from -1 to 1, I guess my question is, does the beta have anything to do with correlation? Does a beta of 1 mean something is heavily correlated as well? Or does a beta of 1 simply mean that it's just as volatile?

    Thanks in advance.

    How much influence do market makers have? especially options market makers

    Posted: 24 Jan 2020 03:03 AM PST

    Any former or current market makers? Can a market maker influence a stock price and by how much? I would especially like to know about options market making

    1) do option market makers also hold stocks that they write on?

    I'm asking because let's say I buy options. -lets say 10 billion market cap -stocks trading at around $20 -i buy options at 23 strike for .30 cents -10 days till expiration -i buy 5,000 contracts (500,000 shares) $10,000,000 worth of stock at $20

    2) will the market makers dump all their inventory/stock before $23 to prevent me from winning on the options?

    can someone pm me or post how much they can move the market?

    Why Guggenheim's Minerd Sees the Market as a 'Ponzi Scheme'

    Posted: 23 Jan 2020 09:21 PM PST

    Bloomberg Markets and Finance - Jan 22, 2020

    00:22...Look, if you take the history of the United States since the late 70s I would call monetary policy a policy of bubble to bubble. For instance you know to save the the economy after the stock market crash right the Fed cut rates and overinflated commercial real estate and then we had to bail out the banks with the Resolution Trust Corporation.

    So then once things calm down again investors no longer thought that commercial real estate was safe and they inflated the internet bubble to the wealth effect to keep the economy going and then of course it went bust. And so then people didn't feel safe in stock so they started buying homes. We played that out and at bust and so we're my attitude is when you look at the amount of leverage in corporate America and where we are today you've you definitely are inflating a bubble here in credit...
