    Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has acquired a slightly more than 5% stake in each of the five leading Japanese trading companies.

    Berkshire acquired the holdings in Itochu Corp., Marubeni Corp., Mitsubishi Corp., Mitsui & Co., and Sumitomo Corp. over a roughly 12-month period through regular purchases on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

    Based on Friday's closing prices for the trading houses, a 5% stake in each would be valued at roughly $6.25 billion.

    Berkshire says it intends to hold the investments for the long term, and that it may increase its holdings in any of the companies up to a maximum of 9.9%, depending on price.

    FEDEX earnings

    Posted: 30 Aug 2020 04:25 PM PDT

    I am comparing FEDEX to UPS. UPS earnings came out a few weeks ago and the stock is up $40 since. FEDEX (also in the delivery business) earnings come out September 15. Would it be fair to expect a similar result from FedEx when they report their numbers in 2 weeks?

    Companies need to disclose 'material' contracts to the market. But what if they are under NDA? Conflict of interest surely?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2020 06:17 AM PDT

    I'm looking at this from a UK perspective, but I bet the same applies in the US. Here we get RNS's when a company has some material news - like a big contract win or loss.

    What if the company scores a big contract, but it's with say the government who don't want it announced yet. What does the company do, are they in breach of market rules or are NDA's considered an exemption?

    I just went through the AIM RNS disclosure rules and can't see anything about an exemption, or even mention of this situation, which I thought might be pretty common:

    5 key ideas for risk management

    Posted: 30 Aug 2020 05:19 PM PDT

    Having good risk management practices is fundamental to any trading or investing strategy, as it will help to keep potential losses in our pockets. As the Oracle of Omaha always puts it "Rule #1 is not to lose any money, and rule #2 is never to forget rule #1". At the end of the game, long term success will only be achieved if we live to fight enough days and get the necessary experience.

    With this in mind, here are five simple Risk Management tips that any trader or investor should take into account when navigating the markets.

    1. Asset Allocation: This one applies more to an entire portfolio than a single trade. Essentially this means to diversify across the types of trade you hold at any given moment. The diversification can apply to different companies within an industry, different industries in general, even trades with different time horizons, or using puts and shorts to hedge positions.
    2. Position Sizing: Position sizing refers to the portion of your complete account that you are using to buy an asset. If you are looking at the screen every second and twitching with every tick, then probably you have not developed the mindset to handle that amount of money. The good part is that if you are serious in becoming a trader, with every trade you make your tolerance goes up which allows you to keep placing bigger bets.
    3. Buying in tranches: Basically this means not buying the full position in one go. You could buy in halves or thirds. This will allow you more time to manage a trade and make sure you are feeling comfortable, especially in tricky markets.
    4. Use stop Losses: For traders we must keep in mind to take small losses quickly, for investors this is a bit less so. Depending on the strategy you can use different type of stops such as trailing stop losses either with percentages or absolute values. Hard stop losses which is an order at a specific price. Or closing day stops where you sell the next morning if a stock closes the day below a certain price.
    5. Review your time horizon: there are many different strategies that are played in different time horizons. For example, day trading is extremely fast making multiple trades per day. Momentum and swing trading you hold either a day to a couple of weeks. Value investing you can hold anywhere from a couple of months to years. And finally things like dividend investing you would hold to forever.

    UPS Inheritance

    Posted: 30 Aug 2020 07:36 PM PDT

    Hi everyone. Looking for some advice here as I'm relatively new to the stock market. I inherited just over 400 class A shares of UPS. Should I diversify and sell some shares and reinvest elsewhere? Keep reinvesting the dividends into UPS? Invest the dividends into something else? I'm definitely more interested in long term growth. Any input would be appreciated!

    Should Bonds be in a portfolio right now?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2020 07:12 PM PDT

    Hello, just started researching and learning about the markets. During this time I have come to learn that when interest rates go down, bonds go up and when interest rates go up, bonds go down. So my question is, if rates can't go much lower and they start to rise in the next 5 to 10 years, is keeping bonds as fixed income in a portfolio still a good idea?

    Thanks!

    Should I give my mom $2000 for the Apple Split Tomorrow?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2020 08:53 PM PDT

    My mom and I recently got into the stock market. I kinda gave up because I wanted to know what I was doing before I started going in.

    My dad loaned some money from me so I'm kinda short on cash at the moment, but I'm good for it. Should I lend my mom this money? She says that the stock is only going to go up tomorrow, but I don't know if i can rely on that.

    I know you guys don't like post like these but I have a very complicated relationship with my mother and I'd like to give her the money if I know that she'll make a profit off of it.

    Why do some biotech stocks surge so much after positive clinical trial results, while others don't?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2020 08:06 AM PDT

    I've observed that some biotech stocks surge A LOT after announcing positive clinical trial results:

    Constellation Pharmaceuticals skyrocketed by 92% after announcing the results of its MANIFEST-2 study.

    Seres Therapeutics soared by an honestly ridiculous 600% after announcing the results of its ECOSPOR-III trial.

    But other biotech stocks seem to go up significantly less, despite positive clinical trial data, with returns ranging from 10-20% to sometimes only about 1-2%. Furthermore, according to this research ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3737210/ ), biotech stocks have abnormal returns of 0.8% on average, which is a far cry from the examples I gave above.

    So why do some biotech stocks go up so much after positive clinical results, while others only budge a little?

    During a market correction or crash, do stocks with lower PE ratios do better than ones with higher PE ratios?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2020 11:24 AM PDT

    Do stocks with lower PE ratios drop less in a market correction or crash than stocks with higher PE ratios? I just started investing a little bit ago, so every little bit of info I can get would be nice. From what I read, a higher PE ratio means that the stock is over priced. I also read that it can mean that investors think the company has a bright future ahead and they are willing to pay at over priced values.

    What % of your Paycheque should go towards the stock market?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2020 11:18 AM PDT

    Question: Out of your pay cheque, what % do you dedicate to investing? Just for simplicity's sake, let's take that % out of the whole amount, before you pay your bills, necessities etc. Currently a student but worked in tech before I got into law school. I mostly did passive investing, but I tried to keep 10% for investing. Looking back, I think I could have sprung an extra 10-20
