    If your question is "I have $10,000, what do I do?" or other "advice for my personal situation" questions. If you are going to ask how to invest you should include relevant information, such as the following:

    • How old are you?
    • Are you employed/making income? How much?
    • What are your objectives with this money? (buy a house? Retirement savings?)
    • What is your risk tolerance? (Do you mind risking it at blackjack or do you need to know its 100% safe?)
    • What are you current holdings? (Do you already have exposure to specific funds and sectors?)
    • Any other assets? House paid off? Cars? Expensive significant other?
    • What is your time horizon? Do you need this money next month? Next 20yrs?
    • Any big debts?
    • Any other relevant financial information will be useful to give you a proper answer.

    Carnival Cruise sees very strong demand for booking after announcing August return date for sailing.

    That is in addition to the news we saw with regard to Disney: https://www.barrons.com/articles/shanghai-disneyland-tickets-sold-out-in-minutes-disney-stock-is-rising-51588949428.

    Seems like we may very likely see a short term rebound of consumer confidence. Some may argue this is a consumer spending version of a dead cat bounce, and some may say it will normalize to a real recovery. Only time will tell.

    Dow to Gold Ratio

    Posted: 09 May 2020 11:51 PM PDT

    Instead of measuring the price of the Dow (or any of the other major market indices) by the amount of USD it takes to buy it, if you measure the price by how many ounces of gold the Dow takes to buy, US stocks have been in a bear market for more than 20 years.

    What do you guys think of this information? Have we actually been in a long running bear market? I've been thinking about this for a while and was wondering what some other input on the subject would be.

    Personally, I believe gold is real money and USD is just a fiat currency with no actual intrinsic value.

    What lesser known economic indicators do you follow closely?

    19 years of stable above index investing and I feel like I’m going to lose it all in a crash

    Posted: 09 May 2020 07:10 PM PDT

    I'm a tech guy. I've had an above average income and I've saved. I've grown a portfolio and paid and FP for years to manage it. He's done well and mostly above index. I see this money being needed at 59. The current market is causing me incredible anxiety. Talking to the FA is always stay the course. Take advantage of the lows. What's the real net impact of me pulling back or out significantly to weather this with caution? If I don't have the appetite for the risk what's my best option?

    Wharton’s Jeremy Siegel declares end to the 40-year bull market in bonds

    Should we be expecting deflation or inflation?

    Posted: 09 May 2020 01:39 PM PDT

    I'm trying to get some sort of grasp on what's going on.

    So central banks are printing more and more money to try to prop up economies and stock markets, but the rate of inflation is decreasing?

    Can someone explain this? I had expected increased inflation due to all the extra money being printed.

    Also, if anyone has any good recommendations for introductory books on the subject, I'd be grateful. I don't have a background in economics but have been reading some articles to try and gain some understanding, but so far to no avail!

    Why do mining juniors exist at all (global)? Anti-trust/monpolization etc?

    Posted: 09 May 2020 06:08 PM PDT

    Why do so many mining juniors exist, why aren't they all just subsidiaries of larger companies? Am Australian so more focused on that.

    For example, is a sort of capital raising dilution lifestyle company not really possible under a larger structure --- i.e. more oversight, etc? For example, a company that is not really about getting results but about using equity to fund the board. Would it be more effective if juniors didn't exist and had the full power of corporations?

    When you sell shares of a dividend stock after the ex dividend date, do you receive the dividend as cash or as shares?

    Posted: 09 May 2020 11:19 PM PDT

    Was curious about this. I have DRIP (dividend reinvestment) set up so wasnt sure how this works in practice.

    Surprisingly difficult question to google

    What's your opinion about personal spending after lockdown?

    Posted: 09 May 2020 05:06 PM PDT

    Do you believe everyone will YOLO their money?

    More like ''we didn't spend any $ in clothes and misc expenses, so we gonna spend every dollar we didn't spend'' or more like ''I really don't need so much clothes or party all weekends, better save some money''.

    I know that unemployment is correlated with less spending and I'm not referring to those cases.

    What are you thoughts about it? This lockdown is making me more aware and conscious about my personal finance. As a member of the FIRE movement, this time I realized I can even reduce my expenses further (personnaly don't like to refer to me as a ''frugal'' guy, this word makes me anxious because it has such a negative feeling attached). In fact, I reduced my expenses and I believe I'll not be using as many services as I used to, like baby I'm not going to pay for a haircut anymore.

    Posted: 09 May 2020 06:12 PM PDT

    What's everyone's thought on VTIQ? With Nikola and Vectol merging within the next month. It's currently up about 7% over the past week. It's the time to buy now, or has that come and gone.

    Secret compounders

    Posted: 10 May 2020 02:56 AM PDT

    Yesterday I listened to this very interesting podcast ( We Study Billionaires - TIP295: Mohnish Pabrai on Value Investing & Philanthropy) where Mohnish Pabrai mentions what he calls secret compounders. The concept sounds very interesting to me, the company that compounds earnings like Visa or Mastercard, but doesn't demand the premium yet, since market doesn't know it yet. He mentions his investment in Fiat - Chrysler (FCAU) where he thought that Ferrari (RACE) alone is worth the whole company due to this reason. I have been thinking about it since yesterday, but I couldn't think of any. I also tried to identify some requirements for such a company.

    1. Low P/E: goal is obviously to find the ones that haven't appreciated in value yet, since Mr. Market doesn't know about or doesn't value their compounding ability yet. So they have to have earnings and P/E multiple growth potential. If they have high P/E I can just buy V or MA, where I am sure of their copounding ability.
    2. Addresable market that they dominate and is also growing, enabling the future growth of the company.
    3. High operating and net margin that signal strong moat and ability to earn a lot of money which they then reinvest in the bussines.
    4. Scalability without increasing costs; costs percentage should be decreasing considerably with scale. Something like Saas is the best representation of this.
    5. Reinvested earnings are effective at raising revenue. If company is just investing a lot of money, but there is no growth, then they lack compounding ability imo (like IBM for example).

    These are just a few points that I am not even sure that apply so I would like to get your opinion.

    What criteria should we use to figure our if the company is a secret compunder? And do you have any ideas which companies would that be and why?

    To me, the closest I could think of is Cisco (CSCO). They generate huge cash flow, have great balance sheet and pay nice and sustainable dividend. However, this doesn't make them a compunder, but just a nice company to invest in. Their shift from legacy business to Saas could make them one, but only if they are successful in making it a larger part of their revenue. This would increase their earnings power and also make their revenue more predictable, warranting P/E multiple expansion.

    I appreciate any feedback :)

    How do I value BRK-B

    Posted: 10 May 2020 02:16 AM PDT

    I so far calculated the securities owned to be around 200 billion and their cash pile to be 138 billion. But I can't figure out the values of their existing businesses in which they own 90% or more of. It in itself is a mini index. Has anyone done this?
