    r/Stocks Daily Discussion & Fundamentals Friday Jul 03, 2020

    Posted: 03 Jul 2020 01:06 AM PDT

    This is the daily discussion, so anything stocks related is fine, but the theme for today is on fundamentals, but if fundamentals aren't your thing then just ignore the theme and/or post your arguments against fundamentals here and not in the current post.

    Some helpful day to day links, including news:


    Most fundamentals are updated every 3 months due to the fact that corporations release earnings reports every quarter, so traders are always speculating at what those earnings will say, and investors may change the size of their holdings based on those reports. Expect a lot of volatility around earnings, but it usually doesn't matter if you're holding long term, but keep in mind the importance of earnings reports because a trend of declining earnings or a decline in some other fundamental will drive the stock down over the long term as well.

    See the following word cloud and click through for the wiki:

    Market Cap - Shares Outstanding - Volume - Dividend - EPS - P/E Ratio - EPS Q/Q - PEG - Sales Q/Q - Return on Assets (ROA) - Return on Equity (ROE) - BETA - SMA - quarterly earnings

    If you have a basic question, for example "what is EBITDA," then google "investopedia EBITDA" and click the Investopedia article on it; do this for everything until you have a more in depth question or just want to share what you learned.

    Only Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT) and Apple (AAPL) Push the S&P 500: Despite Bullish Trend, Smaller Companies Are Still Cheaper Than in January

    Since trading on smaller companies is not valid today, wouldn't it be wiser to sell some stocks and buy Amazon, Apple or Tesla (ha-ha)?

    Creating a trading bot

    Posted: 03 Jul 2020 06:53 AM PDT

    Hi guys. So I have been trading the markets for sometime now and also coding on the side. Now I want to put these things together. So I want to code my own trading bot for me to day trade. I am planning on doing it with python. And have a pretty solid plan when it comes to trading. Do you have any experience with these kinds of things and do you think it's worth my time to code something like that on my own?

    A question for those who were in the market pre 2008 crash.

    Posted: 03 Jul 2020 05:05 AM PDT

    As the title states I have a question for those of you who were investing or trading before the '08 crash; I'm seeing a lot of articles talk about how so many inexperienced traders are entering the market and causing prices to unrealistically go up. (I'm looking at you hertz...) So my question is, when the market crashed back then was this also an issue and was there any long term affects of this?

    ELI5 Why have $GOOGL & $FB significantly underperformed the Nasdaq 100 over the past two years?

    Posted: 03 Jul 2020 09:23 AM PDT

    $GOOGL & $FB

    • Google and Facebook own and operate some of the world's biggest internet platforms, supporting billions of users
    • Both are heavily reliant on advertising for revenues. The non-China internet advertising industry is pretty much an oligopoly between these two. The market itself has had some fits, but has never really stopped growing at a healthy pace
    • Both companies have massive cash piles on their balance sheet and pretty much debt free
    • $GOOGL is also in the midst of one of the largest ever stock buyback programs

    Go on and think about how many other listed firms enjoy this kind of position. There are not many.

    Now think about this: Both the stocks have massively underperformed the NASDAQ 100 over the past two years. ($QQQ - 43%, $GOOGL - 27%, $FB - 17%)

    $GOOGL may seem a bit better, but remember the billions in stock repurchases which is keeping this train going. And of course, both are beneficiaries of the easy money Fed posture

    I understand the political and regulatory uncertainty here - but even with the billions in fines paid and millions in lobbying dollars these companies are certainly not below average compared to N100.

    So what gives now? - Is it a matter of time? Is it an elongated consolidation time now and they should expect a massive run up soon just like AAPL and MSFT (2019), TSLA and AMZN (2020)? - Should the CEOs be held accountable? Sundar doesn't seem to have a firm grip on Google's strategy, and although Zuck seems to have stopped innovating in the face of all the recent goof ups.

    Now the big question. What should the average Joe do? Is it better to invest with the other FAANG stocks vs. bear continued underperformance with these two?

    Clean energy ETFs?

    Posted: 02 Jul 2020 10:32 PM PDT

    Hard to really single out particular clean energy stocks but want to break into the sector. I figure an ETF is a good way to get a few shares and hope for expansion. Happy to hold long

    Non blue chip tech stocks to add to my aggressive growth portfolio?

    WCN or WM?

    Posted: 03 Jul 2020 01:45 PM PDT

    I want to add a waste collection company to my portfolio and I came across these. I'm a Canadian, however that alone doesn't justify me purchasing WCN.

    WM has been consistently beating earnings and has a nice PE of 26. Makes me lean towards it.

    Any input?

    In 10 years can we say MSFT hit 1k a share

    Posted: 03 Jul 2020 11:14 AM PDT

    In the next 10 years do you think MSFT can hit 1k a share? Being the richest company now, what's stopping their share from being what Amazon is?

    Clean trucks to be mandatory in California

    Posted: 03 Jul 2020 01:42 AM PDT

    As a result, manufacturers that certify chassis for medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicles or complete vehicles with combustion engines will now have to sell an increasing percentage of their annual sales in California as zero-emission trucks from 2024. For model year 2024, nine percent of all Class 4-8 trucks sold on the road must be zero-emission vehicles, with the percentage rising gradually to 50 percent by 2030 and 75 percent by 2035. This applies to tractors in a similar way. Article talks about Ballard Power, Nel Asa and Nikola (lmao) (https://gryffintrading.com/2020/07/03/california-has-passed-regulation-that-will-make-clean-trucks-mandatory/) What do you guys think about these and do you know any others that stand to profit from this? IMO NKLA is clearly overhyped if not just scam entirely, don't know much about the others

    Could everyone treat a specific stock like a universal fund scheme? How many bad actors would it take to topple?

    Posted: 03 Jul 2020 05:26 AM PDT

    Say all possible subreddits, Brokers, TV shows, investment advisors, and everyone else aggressively pushed for buying shares of MEME as a sure-win.

    MEME is constantly pushed for years and routinely splits while it stomps ever upward. The price never rises to a level so high to be inaccessible. MEME pledges to continue selling lifestyle advice to the best of its ability; stock price bearing no known connection to company numbers. MEME has no plans to do anything with the extra money and shareholders don't seem to care.

    If everyone piled their money into MEME because they knew everyone else was doing it, how long could it last? How fast could it move? No disillusions about valuations, simply buying in because that's what you do.

    Sure some would sell their shares to buy a new car or house or whatever. If enough people pooled together would it be like a super massive joint bank account rigging the system as long as people knew to keep coming back in and buy more shares?

    Can there be collective decisions around a stock? The system already makes the rich the first to get richer, what if that was embraced through acceptance of buying into MEME?

    I know there are lots of layers to what goes on throughout the process. This doesn't have to be serious. My post may seem convoluted so hook onto whatever portion.

    "Buy MEME! It's like a bond, but not!"

    Hologic (HOLX) Closed at a new all time high yesterday

    Posted: 03 Jul 2020 09:42 AM PDT

    HOLX Closed the week at a new all time high yesterday, making a multi month technical breakout. Most people have never heard of Hologic (HOLX), even though it is in the S&P 500. They were the first company to get approval for Covid-19 test kits and are doing a massive business right now. This stock is a low volume floater, with only a few million shares traded a day. It is one of the prettiest charts I can find anywhere in the market right now. Won't be surprised if it continues higher in the coming weeks.. could easily see $65 before July is done. When stocks make new all time highs, there is no overhead supply of people who are sitting at a loss on their shares and looking to get out broken even. A lot of times it is counter intuitive to buy at an all time high, but this can be when it is easiest for a stock to continue drifting higher - as investors just choose to let their investment continue to grow.

    Trump Admin. Aims to Restrict ESG Investing

    Posted: 03 Jul 2020 06:39 AM PDT

    "the Labor Department led by Secretary Eugene Scalia proposed an update to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) that would require those overseeing pension and 401(k) plans to always put economic interests ahead of "non-pecuniary" goals. The agency specifically called out ESG investing in its proposal."

    This, despite the fact that during the first quarter of the COVID crash, 94% of ESG indexes outperformed the market.

    Now that TVIX is getting delisted, is TVIX still safe to hold?

    Posted: 03 Jul 2020 06:45 AM PDT

    I'm betting that we will still see slight volatility before the end of the year, similar to June 11. Is it safer to buy VXX or TVIX shares? I don't want to buy options due to theta. But VXX declines over time so it doesn't seem like something to hold long term

    Buy stock goals in parts or save to buy all at once?

    Posted: 03 Jul 2020 08:09 AM PDT

    Hi, I have a small question, wondering what you all think about this. Lets say my goal is having 10 Microsoft stocks in my portfolio. Should I save money until I can buy all 10 at once (so i pay transaction fee one time only) or can I just buy like 1-2 every month? (what will cost me 5-10x the transaction fee of around 5$)?
