    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?

    Sources: Uber is in talks to lead $170M investment in Lime at a $510M valuation, down 79% from last valuation, and will get option to buy Lime between 2022-2024

    Posted: 04 May 2020 06:29 PM PDT

    https://www.theinformation.com/articles/uber-in-talks-to-lead-170-million-lime-investment-at-lower-valuation

    Uber is in talks to lead a $170 million financing in scooter rental firm Lime, whose business has dropped sharply amid the coronavirus pandemic, executives at the startup told investors last week. The potential deal would value Lime on paper at $510 million, after the proposed cash infusion, a 79% drop from its previous valuation.

    Uber already owns a minority stake in Lime, but the deal would significantly increase its share. As part of the proposed deal, Uber would transfer to Lime the bike and scooter business that the ride-hailing company purchased in 2018, called Jump. Uber would get the option to buy Lime between 2022 and 2024 at a specific price, and in the meantime Uber would feature Lime scooters more prominently in the Uber app.

    United Airlines to slash 30% of management jobs starting in October

    Posted: 04 May 2020 08:16 PM PDT

    https://www.marketwatch.com/story/united-airlines-to-slash-30-of-management-jobs-starting-in-october-2020-05-04?mod=newsviewer_click

    " United Airlines Holdings Inc. expects to shrink its management and administrative ranks by at least 30% starting in October, according to a memo sent to employees Monday, as the coronavirus pandemic wreaks havoc on the airline industry.

    ...

    A United spokesman said the federal aid didn't cover all the airline's payroll expenses. "We anticipate spending billions of dollars more than we take in for the next several months, while continuing to employ 100% of our workforce. That's not sustainable for any company," he said. Employees affected by the reductions will be notified in mid-to-late July. "

    I imagine this will be the first of many such announcements for the industry. The government bought off the layoffs until October. But the cuts will have to come sooner or later. This movement, likely at an industry level, will continue to be a drag on unemployment getting back to pre-recession levels.

    The New York Federal Reserve prepares to begin buying Corporate Bonds in the next few days.

    Posted: 04 May 2020 06:36 AM PDT

    I guess Jeffrey Gundlach's bluff is being called out and the Fed will deliver on their March 23 promise.

    I will definitely be looking closely at the Fed's weekly statistical releases over the next few weeks to see changes in the balance sheet.

    Remember stock doesn't only go in two direction

    Posted: 04 May 2020 02:12 PM PDT

    Lately we seeing so many post about should i buy airline, boeing, bank etc. in short companies that have taken beating from COVID crisis. And only argument i have read is, this is the bottom, it has to go up.

    Well, no. It doesn't. i mean it might, but it might not. That doesn't mean it will go down but stagnation is a possibility. I wouldn't be surprised if airline stocks are trading at the same level as it is today in 3 years from now.

    So please factor in the opportunity cost in your equation when you are deciding on opening a position. Market doesn't always go up and down, it also trades sideways when supply and demand are balanced. Look at MSFT chart from 2002 - 2012 for reference.

    On Ray Dalio's Online Presence

    Posted: 04 May 2020 06:32 PM PDT

    Guys,

    Can someone help me understand what Ray Dalio is trying to do. It strikes me as very odd that one of the world's wealthiest persons has time to spend online to post "principles" and daily platitudes on self-improvement. His LinkedIn posts are somewhat insightful, but coming from someone like him they come off as profoundly and strikingly boring. Is it me and my having much higher expectations of someone with $20bb+ fortune? Somehow I would expect such a billionaire to make a mark on the world far beyond cheesy, cheap rah-rah motivational quotes. What am I not getting? Or is it someone else behind his account, posting all that stuff. And if so why?

    Why is one of the world's most brilliant investors and hedge fund managers looking to influence the world with cheesy, zero-cost motivational quotes ?

    Thanks,

    The Federal Reserve Has Been Significantly Winding Down It's Treasury Purchases

    Posted: 04 May 2020 10:14 AM PDT

    https://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/domestic-market-operations/monetary-policy-implementation/treasury-securities/treasury-securities-operational-details

    With all of the memes and jokes about "money printing" going around, and the news about the federal reserve possibly buying corporate bonds, I think it's very easy to develop a distorted view of what's going on at the federal reserve. Just from social media, you may be inclined to believe the federal reserve is ramping up it's rate of "Money creation"- I've seen that sentiment reflected heavily on this subreddit. But that sentiment conflicts with the stats.

    At the start of the pandemic panic in the states, The federal reserve was Buying $75 Billion in treasuries per day.

    As you can see from the link above, this has been significantly wound down throughout April. By mid April they were down to $30 Billion per day, and now, they're only planning to buy $8 Billion in treasuries per day.

    Support for Dollar Cost Averaging on a daily basis?

    Posted: 05 May 2020 02:05 AM PDT

    Hi r/investing,

    From the online resources I've read, DCA is usually outlined to be done on a weekly, biweekly, or even monthly schedule. Is there any reason to support these time tables over investing daily?

    With the current and potential market volatility, I thought daily might be better. I honestly don't mind checking my finances everyday, since I'm 25 and investing in mutual funds for retirement (SWPPX).

    Note: I also have a company 401K plan and IRA as well. SWPPX is where I pour my extra money after maxing those out.

    ASR, Undervalued Stock #1

    Posted: 04 May 2020 11:28 AM PDT

    Over the next week, I will be sharing all the stocks I bought and why starting with my smallest position and leading to my largest position.

    This company was found using my proprietary discounted cash flow application I coded for my master's thesis/project.

    Ticker: ASR

    Industry Group: Transportation

    Brief Description: Operates, maintains, and develops airports in the southeast region of Mexico (tourist destinations)

    Intrinsic Stock Price: $148.95

    Notable Profitability Ratios:

    27.6% Profit Margin, 21% Net Operating Profit Margin

    Notable Productivity Ratios:

    3 AR Turnover, 8.3 AP Turnover, 8.7 PPE Turnover

    Notable Leverage Ratios:

    Lower than average leverage at 1.8

    Notable Liquidity Ratios:

    3 Current, 3 Quick

    Airlines will be affected for "13 to 26 months". Taking the current situation into account, liquidity ratios are more important than ever when evaluating transportation companies. I found great security knowing that ASR has enough cash to cover its yearly obligations 3 times over (Quick Ratio).

    On top of strong fundamentals, ASR also offers a 5.3% dividend

    I have included the assumptions of the algorithm and the revenue forecast If you have any questions or suggestions please let me know!

    good books on business life cycle?

    Posted: 05 May 2020 01:09 AM PDT

    Companies all get created, grow towards various sizes, live for a longer or shorter while and then die off due to various reasons (including, a virus).

    Any recommendation for good books that focus on this life cycle? From an investment point of view instead of historical or anecdotal?

    TIA!

    Some small-med cap stocks (~10B and under) that I'm studying during lockdown

    Posted: 05 May 2020 02:30 AM PDT

    - Cloudflare

    Cloudflare has been around for a long time in many notable pockets of the internet. I think the need and importance of content-delivery is only to increase with the development of cloud networking. Many that argue that "Google and Amazon could just replace them" aren't seeing how important it is to just be dedicated as as security company.

    - Dennys
    They have a bunch of real-estate and are a pretty important part of American logistics.

    - Draft Kings

    Company that's been around for a long time that's starting to play ball in the legal app world. They're also well connected after many years of word-of-mouth building.

    - Groupon

    A tech dinosaur. I'm examining this stock after the recent acquisition of Honey (amazon coupon scraper) from Paypal for 4 billon dollars.

    - Planet Fitness

    I think they've executed pretty well over the years. It's pretty hard to beat a servicable $10 gym that focuses on cleanliness and casual exercising.

    - Nissan

    They have a pretty messy history and I'm taking a look at their attempts to turn it around.

    - Lyft

    I think theyre the more focused version of Uber that focuses more on customer satisfaction and acquisition over innovation and spread.

    - KSU

    Rail that extends from the US to mexico

    - Calavo Growers

    These are avocado distributers in the US that work with Walmart

    - Blackberry

    appreciate their refocus on secure IOT networking

    - Weed stocks

    - Logitech

    - Proto Labs (3D printing)

    - Gamestop

    - AMC

    - Harley Davidson - these guys will be a hip-hop for bikers company when boomers die

    Just wondering what your guy's thoughts are on NKLA and the merger to go public with VTIQ? Do you guys have faith in a hydrogen fuel cell motor going to the market? I feel it may be more difficult than the company thinks it is to create "hydrogen fuel stations" Furthermore have or will you guys purchased any warrants?

    Day trader taxes

    Posted: 05 May 2020 04:30 AM PDT

    Just a simple question. I live in Canada and trading index is my main source of income.

    How the taxes work? Lets say I started with a 100k account, and I growth the account to 175k in one years. During that year I cashed out 30K

    DO i need to pay taxes on the whole 75k profit or I just need to pay taxes on the amount of money that I cashed out? (30k)

    Thanks you

    To what degree do you think wealth concentration affects inflation from QE?

    Posted: 05 May 2020 03:56 AM PDT

    Something that's mentioned here is that

    Wealth concentration is deflationary. If you take a trillion dollars and give 100 million middle-class people each ten thousand dollars, they will spend a lot of it, and it'll have an inflationary jolt on consumer prices. In other words, the velocity of that money will be high, because it goes to people with a big divide between what they want and need, and what they have. However, if you take a trillion dollars and instead give 100 multi-billionaires each ten billion dollars, their spending patterns are unlikely to change nearly as much, which would not provide a consumer price jolt.

    It appears to me that a lot of posters around here seem to think that the "money printers go b r r r " are going to spell the end of the world as we know it. Just wondering if these posters have considered this point
