    What stocks are you eyeballing for next week?

    Posted: 20 Aug 2020 08:52 AM PDT

    It hurts so much selling tesla at 900. It hurts so much losing my hard drive with a hundred BTC 7 years ago. It hurts so much not buying stocks in April.

    I just can't take it anymore. Every single day I think how I missed my chances at becoming a millionaire before 30. I had so many opportunities and I fucked them all up.

    Sure I made money along the way but nowhere in the ballpark of what I would have made if I had just held.

    How do you live with that?

    Forbes: U.S. Stock Market Hits Record 77% Overvalued

    Posted: 20 Aug 2020 05:11 AM PDT

    U.S. Stock Market Hits Record 77% Overvalued

    Some extracts:

    According to the popular market cap to GDP ratio, the U.S. stock market, collectively, is about 77.0% overvalued. Despite the worst economic backdrop since the Great Depression, stocks have held up reasonably well since the March 23 bottom. While it's true that the stock market has disconnected from the underlying economy, it has also done so in the past. With such an extreme level of overvaluation, it does beg the question, "Are we witnessing the formation of another bubble?"

    Stock Valuation-How it Works

    One of the more popular methods used to determine if U.S. stocks are undervalued or overvalued is the market cap to GDP ratio. This ratio compares the total market cap of all U.S. publicly traded stocks with GDP. More specifically, it calculates the total value of the outstanding shares of all U.S. domiciled, publicly traded companies (the numerator), and divides that number by total GDP. For example, if total market cap was $20 trillion and GDP was the same, stocks would be considered fairly valued (eg; $20 trillion / $20 trillion = 1 {ie; 100%}). During this pandemic, GDP has fallen while stocks (and market cap) have risen, creating the highest level of overvaluation since the ratio began in January 1971. This is another way of saying that stocks are extremely overbought.

    It's important to note that stocks can remain overvalued for an extended period. However, at some point, stocks will fall (or GDP will rise), and the ratio will decline. While there is no way to be absolutely certain when this will occur, the ratio does offer insight.

    Currently, the degree of overvaluation is around 77.6% (177.6% – 100% = 77.6%). The previous record high was 49.3% on January 26, 2018. Prior to that, the highest reading was 49.0% overvalued in March 2000, just as the Tech Bubble burst.

    Why was the ratio so low during the 1980s when stocks soared? Although stocks rose mightily during the decade, GDP was strong, which kept valuations from rising too much. Plus, when Reagan took office, stocks were more than 50% undervalued. While getting inflation down to a manageable level, Reagan began to deregulate various industries and embarked on a series of tax cuts, all of which created a boom period for the economy and the stock market.

    What About Today?

    A cursory glance at the far right of the chart will reveal a massive 32.9% drop in GDP (bottom graph) and a rising stock market (middle graph). The combination of the two have created the record overvaluation. Though we know the economy is improving, we do not know if the improvement will be enough to bring the ratio down to a more comfortable level.

    There are other factors contributing to the record overvaluation. Very few investment categories offer a good alternative to the stock market. Cash is paying next to nothing and bond yields are at historic lows. You could invest in gold and silver and some high-flying tech stocks but buying these after such an increase could prove risky. With a lack of alternatives, you might say stocks are the only game in town. Moreover, suppressing interest rates helps to "steer" investors into stocks – a technique known as financial repression. Financial repression was first used by smaller, emerging economies when its debt became elevated. When an abundance of money flows into stocks, it tends to push stock prices higher, which in turn makes investors feel wealthier. This is known as the "wealth effect." Low interest rates also make it easier to repay debt.

    Apple Hits $2 Trillion Market Cap, Is AAPL Stock Still A Buy?

    Posted: 20 Aug 2020 11:15 AM PDT

    Apple has just hit an incredible milestone. You may have guessed it. Yes, it became the first tech stock to pass the $2 trillion mark. This comes ahead of a 4-for-1 stock split that will lower the entry barrier for prospective investors to buy shares. The iPhone maker has beaten the other tech giants such as Amazon and Microsoft to reach this milestone. Of course, this is a largely symbolic figure. There's nothing significant changing fundamentally. But the bottom line is that Apple is doing very, very well. Maybe you are like many other investors who are contemplating whether to buy AAPL stock now. Let's take a closer look at what's ahead for the iPhone maker and why the growth is here to stay.

    Ongoing Transition To 5G Network To Give AAPL Stock A Boost

    One of the key drivers in Apple stock growth would be the next-generation 5G mobile technology. Technology analyst Dan Ives from Wedbush said that "Apple has a 'once in a decade' opportunity over the next 12 to 18 months as we estimate roughly 350 million of Cupertino's 950 million iPhones worldwide are in the window of an upgrade opportunity."

    Many experts believe the new 5G iPhone would be a game-changer and it will be a defining chapter for the world's largest tech company. Apple is slated to launch iPhone 12 in October. The question is, how important is the iPhone 12 to Apple? Ives said that Wedbush believes that many on Wall Street "are underestimating the massive pent-up demand around this super cycle for Apple, which remains the opportunity for the bulls."

    Apple Services & Wearables Segment Continues To Outperform

    Even though the novel coronavirus continues to persist in the second quarter, Apple was able to generate growth, with revenue that increased by 1%. For the fiscal third quarter, Apple produced a record, with revenue up 11% year over year, while earnings per share grew 18%. This came amid the strong performance among tech companies. And investors have certainly been piling into tech companies that benefited during the stay-at-home orders. These include companies with products and services related to remote work, cloud computing, music, and video streaming, and digital payments, among others.

    That's not to say when the pandemic is over, the services segment would drop. In fact, before the pandemic, services have already recorded strong growth. Wearables such as AirPods and Apple Watch have also recorded strong growth. They could see a higher number of unit sales in the next quarter.

    The pandemic only served as a catalyst to boost AAPL stock higher when the hardware sales were recording slower growth. As a matter of fact, the pandemic actually played to Apple's strengths. The company saw Apple Pay, Apple Music, and Apple TV+ and the App Store all performing better during the lockdown.

    Is Apple Stock To Buy?

    Apple is likely to see increasing retail demand for AAPL stock after the stock split. The company is able to leverage its massive user base to drive strong growth in its services and wearables segment. The highly anticipated first 5G iPhone will likely whet the appetite of iPhone stalwarts globally. These are some of the few areas investors might want to pay attention to see if AAPL can reach the $3 trillion mark in the near to medium term. With all these in mind, is it any surprise to say that Apple is still one of the best tech stocks to buy?

    How will market react AFTER spilting?

    Posted: 20 Aug 2020 11:41 AM PDT

    Now that Tesla has hit $2000, will it keep going up AFTER the split? Or does it drop? How does the market normally react to split in the pass? Sorry if this is a stupid question but I am new to stock

    GEVO -- We are witnessing history today

    Posted: 20 Aug 2020 12:49 PM PDT

    Nearly 1 BILLION shares in volume traded today. THAT is crazy.

    And yet the stock only went up from a little under $1 to barely the $2 level!

    I ask all of you "great minds" and mathematicians in here....how is this even possible? Either the volume is fake, because that much pressure should have blown the price up to double digits. I'm no rocket scientist, but it's impossible for almost an equal amount of downward pressure on a stock that is having all this positive momentum on a "shares-traded" basis.

    Posted: 20 Aug 2020 03:07 PM PDT

    I've recently made a python script which I would like to automatically buy and sell shares, but I don't really know much about the kinds of software which can support this?

    Is there any good software which can do this kind of thing?

    I need a good kick in the rear.

    Posted: 20 Aug 2020 10:40 AM PDT

    I have turned trading options/stocks into gambling. Started out with $2.5K and have lost all but $400. I thought I was starting to trade smart. turns out I'm still as stubborn as when I started. I am probably going to take a 30 day break. My risk management was terrible, I don't feel overwhelmed by the losses. But I know if I don't get this under control I am going to keep failing miserably.

    I am by all means not quitting. Its the first time, in a long time that I have dove into something this challenging. being greedy is probably my number one downfall. I have watched a ton of videos and read a ton of information thinking to myself self "I've got a pretty decent understanding of this. I'm going for ultimate gains"

    I started out doing pretty well and made a 50% gain in my first week and tried to go for more not understanding risk management and just pretty much YOLO'ing every play I jumped into.

    Not sure I fully understand technical analysisI don't understand technical analysis at all. I need to regain consistency with gains. I have put waayyy too much emotion into trading.

    This is a cry for help. tips and advice and the hard truth are appreciated. Can I recoup my losses?

I want to open with Robinhood to conduct all of my trades in there but I'm not a fan of the chart they have there, I heard TOS has a better pattern chart on there but I'm not sure if there's a limit on the amount of accounts I'm allowed to open with brokers?

    Microsoft potential Stock Split? !!! NO SOURCES !!!!

    Posted: 20 Aug 2020 07:54 AM PDT

    DISCLAIMER - I have no official sources to that , this is only my own opinion.

    Looking at the Stocksplit history - Microsoft did its last Split ( 2-1 ) back in 2003 , always trying to hold the stockprice under 100 $ . ( Stockprices now : ~210$)

    Microsoft has ~ 7,5 billion stocks outstanding , after a 2-1 it would be arround 15 billion

    —Compared to Apple—

    Apple has ~ 4,3 billion stocks outstanding , leading it to a 17 billion stocks outstanding after the split


    A reason for me that microsoft hasnt announced anything yet , might be the planned acqusition of tiktok. If they are sure they can accomplish the deal , they have more potential „buyers" which would lead to a potential Split.

    I would love to hear about your opinion on this one !

    New trader looking for some advice

    Posted: 20 Aug 2020 03:08 PM PDT

    Hey everyone,
    I've been interested in trading and have been reading/watching videos for a while now but am still left with a couple of questions:
    - The country I live in charges 0.35% tax on every stock you buy AND sell. For instance: you buy 5 stocks at 20 USD each for a total of 100 USD then you pay 0.35 USD of tax on this transaction. Same thing if you sell. This means I would need to make at least 0.70% profit (not including other fees) to make a profit.
    Would it still be interesting to go into swing/day-trading knowing that the profits will be lower?
    A good thing to know is that options (and also futures and CFD's) are not subjected to this taxation, so I was thinking that this might be a better option ;) for me.

    -This brings me to my second question: Are there any courses that I can follow that will give me the greatest chance in succeeding in the long run? There seem to be a lot of courses online but I find it difficult to find one with good reviews where I know my money will be well invested.

    Thanks for the time and feedback!

    Robin Hood advice

    Posted: 20 Aug 2020 08:16 AM PDT

    Hey guys!

    Just joined this sub and just downloaded the Robin Hood app with $500 in funding.

    Like many people, thanks to pandemic, I've been unemployed and basically saving every penny from UE but I know it won't last forever. Unfortunately I'm not in a position to move back home and save even more by not having to pay rent and other COL in NYC. Since I can't find work in my industry (beauty), I have to look at other alternatives.

    Im a 33F who knows next to nothing about stocks, more so terminology. I did navigate the app and read the tips and what not. Can any stock genius out there give me some tips/advise that aren't obvious? I know $500 is chump change for a lot of people but it's a lot for me, and It'll sucks to lose another $500 but I won't be homeless over it. I'd rather spend $500 learning how to make it grow than spend it on take out and clothes I can't wear, I'd be happy even I could make $250 return. I look at is as an educational investment - if you will .

    I'd like to know what red/green flags I should look for, what limits to set etc, just basically investing 101 for dummies...or if someone could link me a reputable guide I can read?

    Any tips/advise would be great!

    Thanks in advance and have a lovely day everyone!

    Delisted stock question

    Posted: 19 Aug 2020 11:06 PM PDT

    If a company's stock gets delisted and you hold your shares, will you still own your shares if the company's stock gets re-listed again? Also is there a time frame on how long they have to wait to relist again?
