    Amazon can be held liable for faulty goods sold on it’s marketplace, court rules

    Posted: 13 Aug 2020 06:31 PM PDT

    In a major blow to Amazon, a California court ruled that it can be held liable for faulty goods sold on its marketplace. I used to be an Amazon 3rd Party Seller, and the crap that you can buy in China in bulk, have the supplier slap your private label on the products, and launch them on Amazon, without any oversight from them is truly shocking. It really is the Wild West, and really needs to be much better for a company that rich and powerful.

    Apple & Tesla Announced Stock Splits; Here’s How It Could Impact Your Investments

    Posted: 13 Aug 2020 05:56 AM PDT

    What's A Stock Split And How It Could Affect Your Current Holdings

    Apple and Tesla, arguably two of the hottest companies on Wall Street, both announced stock splits in recent weeks. The question is, can it positively affect your current holdings? First, let's understand what a stock split is. Essentially, a stock split is exactly what it sounds like. One share is splitting up into a few individual shares. This often comes after a particular share price has been inflated to a level that may be 'too high'. For example, in Tesla 5-for-1 stock split example, one share worth $1500 now will be broken into 5 shares worth $300 each. This way, it will lower the entry barrier for investors who wish to buy a stake in the company.

    A stock split can typically result in a share price increase following a decrease immediately after the split. Since many retail investors find the stock now more affordable, they end up boosting demand and driving up prices. A stock split also reminds investors that the share price had been increasing in the past. It is not surprising that many investors extrapolate the historical growth into the future and bid up the share price again. One thing to also note is that even though the number of outstanding shares increases and stock price decreases, the market capitalization doesn't change.

    Who Tend To Benefit From Stock Splits?

    Generally speaking, stock splits are neutral events for current shareholders. In the case of the Apple 4-for-1 stock split, you used to own 1 share, but moving forward you will own 4, but the total value remains the same. Essentially, a stock split wouldn't change the company value, all else being equal. But the truth is, all else is rarely equal when we apply it in the market.

    Both TSLA stock and AAPL stock jumped after the announcement. This may be the fifth time for Apple to do a stock split, but it is Tesla's first. The price change will be more dramatic for Tesla, whose stock split will bring individual share to the $300 range. Compared to Apple's post-split of $100 range, Tesla's post-split stock might find it harder to attract smaller investors.

    Certain online brokerages offer investors to buy fractional stocks. Conceptually, it offers the same thing in the absence of stock splits. Then again, not all brokerages will offer such services and it's not that easy to move shares between brokerages. Therefore, it will not create a much stronger demand than actual stock splits. Now, like it or not, news of stock splits tend to cause share prices to jump. And that is not really rational. But who cares? As long as the prices go up, existing shareholders would not be complaining.

    Tesla & Apple's Stock Splits Could Restart The Trend Again.

    Is stock splits a thing in the past? Tracing back the history, in 1997, 102 companies in the S&P 500 split their stocks, and in 2016, only 7 companies did so, a decline of more than 90%. That is about to change when two of the hottest tech companies announced they will be splitting their shares at the end of this month. The zero brokerage fees environment gives companies a greater incentive to split shares today. In addition, it creates a more affordable and accessible stock for Robinhood traders to start trading. After all, many retail investors are nonetheless still prone to judging how "expensive" a stock is based on its dollar value. That said, it is not surprising to see other tech companies like Amazon, Shopify, or Alphabet make such moves on their own timeline.

    Not impressed with SEC

    Posted: 13 Aug 2020 04:41 PM PDT

    I don't think this is a new idea, but it seems like the SEC pretty much has to be intentionally letting rich people get away with unethical trading. Please help me see the bigger picture / restore some faith.

    The most recent incident with the senators(etc.) shorting on covid and winning. Maybe they walked a tight rope of not relying on more than they could legitimately say was publicly available information, but then that would seem to imply they severely mislead in press releases about how bad covid was. I can't see how they are not guilty of something serious either way.

    This isn't new. They looked the other way for years on things like enron and worldcom, at the same time arrested teenagers for promoting stocks on message boards - also infuriating.

    There are more examples.

    Someone with a informed opinion: do you think they eventually charge the guilty (I guess that was the case with enron and worldcom)? Or do you think they intentionally[and unethically] give a very unfair advantage to people with money (are they[the SEC] corrupt)?

    Watchlist: 8/13 Record High Market Prices & Unemployment

    Posted: 13 Aug 2020 04:06 AM PDT

    Market Notes:

    The S&P 500 is flirting with all-time highs this morning. Stock prices have never been higher as the buying shows no sign of letting up.

    The trend is your friend. I for one am not a fan of fighting the trend. I'm aware the bearish signals all around but the trend is still bullish. I'll stay bullish until the market changes direction. I'm always ready to be wrong.

    Unemployment numbers come out this morning. I expect some swings afterwards but doubt we see any major moves off the number. Expectations are over 1 million new claims.

    Watchlist:

    AUTO is a low float, key level at $2.20

    AMTX is a low float, resistance at $3.50

    OPTT is a low float, resistance at $1.78

    AZRX has resistance at $1.30

    IGC is on watch

    CDMO watching for support at $8

    DSKE has resistance at $7

    FINV watching for a setup above $2.38

    PACB has resistance at $5.75

    HBM has resistance at $4

    Why not long puts?

    Posted: 13 Aug 2020 07:16 PM PDT

    If the market is overvalued and another big crash seems to be coming in the long run, why not just buy steep puts that expire in a year or so and just wait for the next big one to hit?

    China had flooding that has destroyed some rice in field. Now Iowa has storm damage. Thoughts on the impact on food supply chain stocks? Good for those who invested in future or bad for brands that rely on steady supply of raw materials?

    How do taxes work with exercising options?

    Posted: 13 Aug 2020 01:07 PM PDT

    If I sell an option before exercising/expiration then I pay taxes based on the gains from the premium. But what if I exercise an option? Do I incur any tax liability when I exercise or only when I sell the underlying stock on a later date?

    JNJ stock

    Posted: 13 Aug 2020 10:48 AM PDT

    So, I was given some JNJ stock when I was like 7 years old. I'm going to be transferring them into solely my own name; it had been under my grunkle's and my name for the past 26 years. I have been advised to let them ride for as long as possible, and I plan to, but what will that mean for the future? I just know I am in possession of them, with no plans, and no investment history. Do I learn how to invest or learn about the stock market now?

    Needle/Syringe producing companies

    Posted: 13 Aug 2020 12:56 PM PDT

    sooo many companies And governments are producing vaccines so I think that investing in companies that make the actual needle would be smart and a pick that I just felt on is Becton Dickinson which had price targets increased by most Wall Street analysts like Morgan Stanley. Thoughts?

    More insider trading this week? TLT

    Posted: 13 Aug 2020 04:39 PM PDT

    TLT gapped down tuesday, it started falling again today around noon. I'd imagine it has to do with this article: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/homeowners-will-face-new-refinancing-fee-starting-in-september-200212661.html

    It sure looks like somebody knew this was going to happen. Admittedly, I have not researched if it was known beforehand or not, but a quick google search finds me the earliest article at 11:55 today, meanwhile TLT peaked one week ago.

    Advice on long term investment.

    Posted: 13 Aug 2020 03:28 PM PDT

    Hey guys i came to like a couple of nasdaq quotated big companies, i'm really looking forward to their future growth and i feel like there could be a big long term benefit to an hypotetical investment. I'm kind of new to this whole world and i only got myelf involved with the Etoro platform, which seems more like a videogame to me than an actual tool (but what do i know).

    How do i approach a long time investment? online platforms, banks and private professionals... i really have no clue on differences and benefits, could you shed some light and maybe guide me through the logic behind the best choice?

    Price action of a ticker that undergoes an acquisition

    Posted: 13 Aug 2020 11:29 AM PDT

    I'm in a speculative play for a ticker that's currently at around $4. I am looking to take a long position, but the catalyst is that the company was the target of an acquisition at a price of $4.50 a share, plenty of upside but I'm trying to see if it's worth it to leverage with options instead.

    Of course, the strike price on that would be $5, so the question is: If a company gets acquired, do you normally see the share price just catch up to the sale price? or does it move up on hype alone? I'm sure this is different each case, but I'm just trying to get an idea from anybody who previously witnessed an acquisition and knows a bit about how to expect the price to move.

    Why is NIO considered expensive at $13 when most EV stocks are pricier and less performant?

    Posted: 13 Aug 2020 09:59 AM PDT

    I keep hearing how NIO is overpriced and a risky buy for a number of reasons:

    1. not profitable
    2. no factory
    3. made in china

    however, why is NKLA $45/share when they have no factory, are not profitable, and worse: dont have a product nor prototype nor sales figures?

    Li Auto was around $17/share and people were still bullish about it despite having about the same sales figures as NIO.

    so why is NIO still considered overpriced when it has a product, has growing sales figures, is about to be profitable, and has innovated technologies like the battery swap?

    how does NKLA have such crazy growth when its inferior in every way?

    what am i missing?

    Price Type Charts

    Posted: 13 Aug 2020 12:05 PM PDT

    Of the four price type options (last, bid, ask, mark), which one do you use for charting? Would it be logical in saying I should use the ask price type chart, because I buy and sell on the ask prices? What are your experiences with this?

    New investor, been lurking this community a while

    Posted: 13 Aug 2020 10:44 AM PDT

    So I've seen several posts which claim that the market makes no sense whatsoever and it's basically a popularity contest between companies... The numbers and progress of companies doesn't really matter anymore

    Is it true? Does the stock market behave this randomly, and can I by only analyzing the graphs' performances of "X" company do well in it?
