    'The Food Supply Chain is Breaking': Food Security & The Global Pandemic. An important conversation with Lowell Randel

    Posted: 04 May 2020 12:23 PM PDT

    Listen to full episode

    Demetri Kofinas speaks with Lowell Randel, Vice President of Government and Legal Affairs for the Global Cold Chain Alliance, which serves as the voice of the cold chain industry, representing 1,300 member companies in over 85 countries. The two discuss the impact that COVID-19 and the government shutdowns have had on food supply chains, processing facilities, and the industrial farm sector.

    The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant shifts in consumer demand away from foodservice businesses like restaurants and towards foot retail outlets like supermarkets and groceries. Food industry players are in turn looking to adapt, redirecting products originally destined for the foodservice sector to retail instead. This has created challenges for farmers that have led, in some cases, to the euthanization of livestock and the wholesale destruction of crops ready for harvest.

    Fed to buy junk bonds, stocks saved again from big crash

    Posted: 04 May 2020 02:07 PM PDT

    Fed will start buying junk bonds at BB grade, while on 23rd of March it was BBB.

    Expect a massive stock market rally now, as we see the fed prop up the market even further.

    This will allow companies to rally like crazy. The big drop has been delayed I think till after the election with this move.

    We might test the lows again in the coming month but it won't be a big crash.

    FED to the rescue

    Stock Watch List May 4, 2020

    Posted: 04 May 2020 05:43 AM PDT

    Good morning, here's my watch list

    Gap ups: APDN, CGC, CODX, TDOC, TVIX

    Gap Downs: BA, LUV, PLAY, RCL, TSN, UAL, UBER

    SPY gapping down slightly after pulling back for a couple days with the 20 and 50 day moving averages underneath which should act as some support. Many stocks are gapping down as well into short term moving averages and likely to catch a bounce. If the market shows strength many of the gap downs could reverse. Airlines and cruise ships and casinos primarily gaping down pre market. I will be waiting for market to find some sort of direction before making any trades due to last week being choppy. If the market decides to decline further, I will look at TVIX for a quick trade. Be patient, there will be plenty of opportunities to trade, just focus on the best setups. Good Luck

    Machine Learning breaks COVID-19. Stocks we should've owned.

    Posted: 04 May 2020 03:54 PM PDT

    I'm a Data Scientist who likes to throw Machine Learning on stocks despite the odds. I've recently done a study where I used a Decision Tree to look into stocks that dropped their price and quickly recovered when COVID-19 came around.

    Here are the key findings:

    1. Fall-resistant Small Cap stocks are easier to identify than Large and Medium cap stocks
    2. Fully equity funded (almost no debt) stocks performed distinguishably worse then those having debt to equity ratio > 5%
    3. Growing inventory was a life buoy for Small Cap stocks
    4. Companies selling a lot of securities in the previous fiscal year did distinguishably well

    Does this align with you intuition? Any examples that do/don't fit this profile?

    Link to the original article is here.

    Why Raytheon (ticker RTX) stocks appear as if they skyrocketed impressively several times on the past on the yahoo finance chart?

    Posted: 04 May 2020 07:43 PM PDT

    this is the screenshot regarding my question: https://imgur.com/a/MGYKzGv

    This is what I get when I go to 5 years, as if it reached 2170 usd on January 2020 on the 5Y chart, but when I go to the 1Y chart I can't no longer see that. Same kind of weird variations on the Max chart.
    When I zoom to the day by day changes and look at that period for example, I can't longer find it neither. Same on the apple Stocks app but I believe it's linked to yahoo finance so it doesn't help me to understand.

    Is it a bug on yahoo or did that really happened?

    How do you feel about Boeing moving forward

    Posted: 04 May 2020 07:26 PM PDT

    Just curious on how you all currently feel in regards to Boeing (BA). We know that Covid-19 has negatively impacted the flying business for at least the 2-5 years, however the stock is down almost 60% YTD (737 Max and Covid situations) they have recently acquired enough funding outside of direct government assistance to keep them afloat for almost a year if the situation was to stay completely the same, and new CEO will be focusing on fixing their balance sheet which could also stunt growth and innovation . Do you feel the stock is at a discount or that this company has seen its best days?

    Buying and selling stocks

    Posted: 04 May 2020 04:35 PM PDT

    I have only ever invested around £8k into stocks and over the four or so years I've been trading I've taken out some money here and there but the CV19 saw me lose a good 1/3 of what I had. Before I lost anymore I sold everything I could.

    I then started reinvesting what I had in FTSE 100/200/350 companies that had lost a lot (tried to stay away from AIM.

    Here is my investment strategy, slate it if you like: Halfords -HFD had lost almost 2/3 of its market cap. (For easy numbers sake) £1000 in It rises by 40% from where I've bought £1400 I sell £1250 worth of shares and I keep £150 in there (to see what happens)

    I do this on another two shares successfully I have £3750 cash in my account I up my £1000 investment minimum to £1100 and the remaining £450 I plough into aim on a punt

    On all of my investments I set limit orders so they automatically sell

    Any other tips I could be doing? Am I headed for disaster?

    Advice On Brokers

    Posted: 04 May 2020 02:38 PM PDT

    I have a question on which brokers to use. I'm still relatively new (starting to swing trade and get more involved since I'm working from home) and I'm looking for a "forever" broker.

    I've got three currently: Robinhood (used when I was new, but recently have stopped using), TDA, and Webull.

    I don't trust Webull due to their sketchy customer service, so I'm beginning to pull my money out slowly as I sell my shares when profitable. I've only placed 1k in to Webull. I have 2k in TDA, but I'm not the biggest fan of their mobile platform. Webull is literally exactly what I feel I gravitate to in terms of UI, charts, etc.

    I've checked out Fidelity, Etrade, Interactive Brokers, Tasty, and Schwab. I'm not sure I want to keep TDA as my main account due to the Schwab buyout. I'm not looking to have changes to things right when I'm getting started. Whichever I choose, I'd like to get a Roth going with too.

    Any thoughts/suggestions? I'm mobile some for work so won't have the ability to do a ton on my laptop, otherwise I would put an emphasis on web/desktop platforms. Should I just go all in with Webull? Stick with TDA? Try IBKR? I'm down to have several brokers with small sums of money, but just want a main one I leave long term investments in as well as focus most of my swings within.

    Vanguard tracker funds performance

    Posted: 04 May 2020 12:24 PM PDT

    I am currently invested in a range of Vanguard funds, having looked at the price history of various tracker funds such as FTSE 100 and 250 I cannot understand why they do not outperform the FTSE 100 and 250 indexes respectively given that the funds accumulate all dividends (they are calculated net of fees but this is only 0.3% ish) and dividends are a few % per year. Am I missing something?

    Crude oil bought @10.2

    Posted: 04 May 2020 06:52 AM PDT

    Bought crude oil at an all time low, making good profit I am now hesitant on whether I should keep my position open or close @ 19. My question to you all is whether you think crude oil will go below 9 and what could affect this to happen? I personally believe that crude oil won't go below 9, however, with the current case of COVID-19, worldwide lockdowns and no demand for crude oil, who can say what could happen.

    Question about vanguard funds!

    Posted: 04 May 2020 05:43 PM PDT

    Vtsax, VOO, and VTI, have some differences being the fund types, minimum investment, etc. but overall, they track the same stocks. Their performance is quite identical. Why invest in one over the other, then? Which one yields the highest return? Should I invest in just one, two, or all three?

    Two ways to look at how Buffet’s announcement affected airlines today

    Posted: 04 May 2020 11:11 AM PDT

    Most are down 5-10 %.

    1: Even when the great W.B. sells all his airline stocks, they only drop 5-10 % so they must be somewhere near bottom.

    2: W.B. already disclosed big sales of his airline stocks on April 3 and his decision to sell all of them was just more of the same development only on a bigger scale, yet airline stocks reacted to it big time so they likely have a long way to the bottom as more bad news will come.

    Are they both potentially sound or is one completely unrealistic and the other very realistic?

    Hi— I'm trying to find somewhere that has a running (daily or weekly) list of the most valuable companies by order of Market Cap.

    I've found several annual reports, but nothing on a daily or even weekly frequency.

    Any guidance is appreciated.

    equal investing in Options vs stock

    Posted: 04 May 2020 10:32 AM PDT

    Why would someone pay for a contract instead of investing the same amount into the stock itself?

    I'm considering 2 scenarios for when BA trading at $130 a share and you can buy a 145c 5/29 for $390.

    1. you buy the option for $390 and sell the contract before the expiration

    2. you buy $390 worth of BA

    So I supposed the question is why wouldn't I just put the money down to immediately start profiting on a upwards trending stock than buy a contract for 100 shares. If BA goes up 10% tomorrow, won't my investment of $390 in both scenarios also equally go up 10%? Or does the option contract increase much higher than 10%?

    Any thoughts on the discount between two share classes of ViacomCBS?

    Posted: 04 May 2020 12:19 PM PDT

    https://twitter.com/InvestSpecial/status/1257313190951542787

    The situation currently offers something like 6-8% return if discount returns to the pre-fall levels. However, given that Viacom share classes used to trade at a similar discount pre-merger adds significant uncertainty.

    7. 25x Genus PLC. ($1,500) - They sell genetically modified semen across the world for pork and bovine. I used to intern there.
    8. 5x Facebook ($1,200) - Their continuous and stable presence
    9. 10x MGM Holdings ($860) - Fast recovery when vegas opens
    10. Royal Caribbean Cruise - I will wait to invest
    11. Google/Amazon - Haven't decided.

    Cruise line stocks?

    Posted: 04 May 2020 09:57 AM PDT

    I am seeing major cruise line stocks are very low due to current pandemic situation. I have seen mixed reviews about stocks for cruise lines, some say it will bounce. Some are worrying it may never be the same. Can someone nudge me in fairly evaluated direction? Financials of Carnival appears little better than royal carribbean or Norwegian. Which one would be a preferred buy? I can hold on the stock for 2-3 years.

    Price targets?

    Posted: 04 May 2020 02:39 AM PDT

    Explanation of price targets to me?

    There's one stock that has an average price target from well known places such as JPMorgan that's X8 what the current stock is. I have been following this stock DEEEEEPLY for over half a year and these price projections are now making it more appealing than ever.

    Is this price target them saying "this is what we are saying it will be at in X amount of time?"

    Or is it them saying that's just the absolutely best case scenario?

    So many questions regarding these.
