    Can someone explain why Disney is plummeting?

    Posted: 05 Feb 2020 07:22 AM PST

    Bought a Disney call option Monday before earnings as it climbed 6% in a week, watched it beat high earnings by 5%, then watched it suddenly plummet? Can anyone explain this to me? Disney+ viewership increase has been confirmed by third parties, they've moved past their large purchase of fox, opened new entertainment in their main parks as attendance increase, literally all signs would point to a rising stock price yet it's still dropping hard?

    What to invest in for Roth IRA?

    Posted: 05 Feb 2020 09:46 AM PST

    I rolled over my previous company's 401K and am looking to invest in something for my roth IRA. I was reading how high dividend and high growth stocks and mutual funds make sense due to the tax shield, which makes sense. However, does anyone have any specific ones they could recommend?

    Anyone else buying F today?

    Posted: 05 Feb 2020 09:37 AM PST

    I just keep buying it when drops to this range and have been doing pretty well not even counting the dividend, which is pretty sweet. F draws a lot of hate from the sycophants and WSB kids on here but in all seriousness, the explorer charge back was anticipated and actually not as bad as they had previously announced. ~10% seems like a huge overreaction to me.

    In the last two days, basically the entire subreddit was filled with Tesla posts when Tesla gained > 10%. Today, when Tesla loses > 10%, nobody starts posting about it.

    Enthusiastic for the rise in the stock market? Just remember what the yield curve has told us

    Posted: 05 Feb 2020 01:42 PM PST

    Stock speculators have a short memory. As the stock market rises, enthusiasm sets in quickly and everyone throws themselves into a rush of stock purchases. Just look at Tesla... A few months ago (August 28, 2019), the yield on the 10-year US Treasury bond fell below the yield on the 2-year US Treasury bond (the 10-2 indicator). This is rare, and since the 1950s, this very incident has been the most credible indicator of an upcoming recession at all. In fact, the 10-2 indicator has been right every single time that the indicator has seriously erupted. Although the stock market is currently reaching new heights, the reality is that it is a completely classic process following a cross of the yield curve and up to a recession. In other periods, the same enthusiasm has hit the market, which has risen on average 15% before the heavy hammer hit. The hardest hit comes on average 22 months after the first signal from the 10-2 indicator. It shows figures from Credit Suisse. So the danger is not over, but there are no reason to panic yet. As it may take several months before the recession emerges. However, as a sensible investor or trader, it may still be a good idea at this time to re-sail and prepare the portfolio for a recession to hit over the next few months. This can be done by taking profits in some of your most profitable trades.

    AMD or Intel?

    Posted: 05 Feb 2020 10:42 AM PST

    Would you rather buy the first or the latter?

    I'm concerned that so much Hype on AMD will maybe not be fullfilled (150+ P/E wtf), but would you think it could be a bubble?

    Inte on the other end seem to be a very good long time investment? Do you think there are better Tech ones?

    Edit: Since lots of you are putting lots of information I'll add up some info.

    I have 220€ ready rn and I could put some 400€ more but only in let's say 2 days, I get charged 10€ for every international operation I do (I'm Italian) so preferred to buy only 1 company with the 220€.

    Paper trading or not

    Posted: 05 Feb 2020 10:03 AM PST

    Hey. I'm learning trading and TA with a paper trading app, and today I talked to way more experienced trader then I am, and he said that one could learn trading only with real money investment. I disagree but have not many arguments (he is a real trader, and I'm not). I mentioned that in this scenario, even books on trading are worthless. He said, "yes, in many cases." What you ppl think? Should I continue my education with paper trading or I'm wasting time? Thank you all for your thoughts. Cheerz

    Best way to do stock portfolio performance analysis vs the s&p 500

    Posted: 05 Feb 2020 08:08 AM PST

    Hi everyone,

    I am trying to find a way to measure my performance of my individual stock picks vs key indexes (to make sure it is worth my time to invest in my own pick vs just picking generic indexes).

    Right now I use the tracking in fidelity but since my portfolio is about 65% indexes and 35% individual stocks my performance is all muddled.

    Does anyone have a good tool or app they use measure their performance? I have tried SigFig and few other apps but it doesn't give me as granular of performance analysis as I'd like.

    Thanks for you're help.

    How to reduce risk

    Posted: 05 Feb 2020 07:36 AM PST

    I'm about 10-15 years from retirement and have had my 401k in aggressive growth stocks my whole life which has done well in the long run. With the bull run going on so long and retirement in the picture I need to start reducing my risk. Is there a good middle ground for less risk / less return that isn't 1-2% us bonds?

    As I don't want to disclose my finances lets take some round numbers say my 401 is 1M.

    75% is still what i see as aggressive growth. Basically like 8-10 mutual funds across different areas, S&P500, international utilities, defense etc.

    10% is in a value fund.

    10% is in a bond EFT that is giving about 3% dividends

    10% is in AGVT which is a Real estate company paying about 11% dividends. as i was trying to move some investments to dividend stocks

    5% is in cash for the moment. I've consider putting this into the same bond fund, 3% isn't awful, is there a better place that is less risky than an index fund?

    Greetings! First post by a position trader with 25+ years experience.

    Posted: 05 Feb 2020 11:20 AM PST

    As noted in the title, first post here. (Been lurking for years, however...)

    25+ years trading experience; to include over 15 years professionally with noted firms.

    In addition to my regular trading, three or four times a year I go relatively big on low market cap stocks that have based near their all-time lows and are trading well off their 52 week and/or all-time highs.

    I take a large position (usually 100,000+ shares+), and then simply wait.

    For example, currently I'm long 200,000 $VIVE @ an average price of $1.15.

    Justification: 52 week high of $116 (split-adjusted). 52 week low of .79 cents. A mere three months ago: $5+.

    I'm presently down around $25k on this trade, but on a percentage basis still well within my pain tolerance. It's all about the charts on these small cap trades!

    Goal: a minimum $250k profit on this particular trade.

    Note to mods: this is 100% not a pump post, and I'm not advocating anyone here buy VIVE.

    Rather, I'm posting my position on VIVE in the event anyone here trades - or is interested in trading - similar stocks, is a position trader, or trades according to chart patterns.

    If so, I'd be happy read your stock suggestions and/or share my opinion on any stock you're currently in or are considering purchasing.

    Posted: 05 Feb 2020 01:17 PM PST

    Chart This has two things going for it. First it's a deep value play with a price/book value of 0.37. Long term if you stick this in a drawer you'll be happy. Second, at this level there are a few indicators lining up that make a long a lower risk play. If you are short term you can keep your short tight and if you're long term just sit and wait. GLTA.
