    Is buying 5 stocks of a bluechip company like DIS or AMZN or AAPL a good start?

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 06:22 AM PDT

    Hello guys,

    Starting my stock investment with $5,000 using TD Ameritrade. Just wanted to get your input with buying 5-10 shares of a bluechip company that are quite pricey such as AAPL and AMZN. Do you think it's a good start? So far I have a few stocks of AMD, and vaguard etfs. I'm not a trader, I just want to buy and leave it for as long as possible

    ​

    Thanks

    Wall Street Week Ahead for the trading week beginning August 10th, 2020

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 09:39 AM PDT

    Good Saturday afternoon to all of you here on r/stocks. I hope everyone on this sub made out pretty nicely in the market this past week, and is ready for the new trading week ahead.

    Here is everything you need to know to get you ready for the trading week beginning August 10th, 2020.

    Markets could be challenged by Washington stimulus talks and China tensions - (Source)

    The debate in Washington over the next round of fiscal stimulus and rising tensions between the White House and China could act as brakes on the stock market in the coming week.

    Stocks rallied in the past week but were more sluggish Friday, as investors watched stimulus talks between Democrats and the Trump administration stall out. Investors also were concerned that President Donald Trump's executive order banning U.S. transactions with Tencent's We Chat and Bytedance's Tik Tok would accelerate the deterioration of relations between the U.S. and China and draw retribution.

    Just ahead of Friday's market close, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said just that he is recommending the White House move forward with executive orders on unemployment, student loans and rental foreclosures. He said a compromise could not be reached with Democrats, who wanted a $2 trillion package. Stocks edged higher after the announcement though details of the orders and how any assistance could be funded were unclear.

    "It's an attempt to bring the Democrats back to the table to negotiate a deal by threatening to use an executive order. They may be able to get some things down, but it won't be enough to create the bridge they need while the economy continues to repair itself," said Michael Arone, chief investment strategist at State Street Global Advisors.

    The S&P 500 was up 2.4% for the week, ending at 3,351, after a 2 point gain Friday. The Nasdaq was down 0.9% Friday, ending at 11,010. It was up 2.5% for the week.

    "Part of the reason stocks have held in there well and continue to melt up is that one of the things that is priced in is a fifth fiscal policy package of $1.5 trillion. if we don't get one, I do think the market will retrace lower to reflect a lack of stimulus," said Arone. "The recovery will stall out without one."

    As for China, it has so far not taken actions against U.S. companies, even with the Trump administration's moves to block Chinese telecom giant Huawei from using U.S. parts. The latest steps, however, raised concerns that China could find ways to retaliate, and that the U.S. will bar Chinese IPOs.

    "On balance, continued hostility toward China is going to be a continued net negative for U.S. companies that are revenue exposed to China," said Julian Emanuel, head of equities and derivatives strategy at BTIG. "We know the exposure is very centered in the Nasdaq names."

    Emanuel said the stock market is entering a seasonally weak time, and while market psychology is still strong it could start to change. "The seasonals are starting to shift negatively. We all know September is a poor month and the degree of the escalation of the tensions between the U.S. in China is not a surprise, but the degree of the escalation over the last 48 hours is," he said. "It's not changing psychology, but it's challenging bullish psychology."

    In the coming week, there are some final earnings of the season, including technology company Cisco and food company Sysco. Some travel companies including Royal Caribbean report, as does consumer goods company Tapestry. In the week after, big retailers roll out their reports in the final earnings burst of the quarter.

    Economic reports could be important in the coming week, as investors watch consumer price index inflation data Wednesday and retail sales Friday. Retail sales should provide a window into the consumer, as workers returned to their jobs but also faced uncertainty because of reclosings.

    CPI is important as the market has been assuming inflation will ultimately start to show gains because of the weakening dollar and ballooning budget deficits. CPI last month showed a 0.6% increase month over month.

    The pro-inflation trade has become important and has driven investors into stocks, gold, and out of the dollar.

    Watch this trade

    The dollar could be the key to the fate of markets in the coming week. The U.S. currency was edging higher Friday but is still down about 3.5% over the past four weeks. Gold declined Friday, and Treasury yields moved lower.

    "The dollar ... to me it just continues to be an important barometer that has a unique intersection of rates, inflation and risk assets," said Arone. "With rising China, U.S. tensions and combined with the fact that there's uncertainty about the fiscal policy package and the fact the dollar has declined so quickly, many are expecting it to catch a bid here and rebound."

    Part of the move in the dollar was based on the idea that huge government spending would increase the government's deficit and Treasury issuance. Emanuel said the news on stimulus could have a big impact on the trade.

    "We would make the argument the baseline expectation was a trillion dollars worth of stimulus to be implemented sometime in the month of August. Anything below that expectation is likely to cause the dollar to strengthen," said Emanuel. "It's a momentum and positioning trade as well as what has been ... the unwind of an asset diversification trade."

    The stalling of talks could shift the market's view that the U.S. is willing to spend any amount to fight the impact of the coronavirus. "It's changing the market psychology that the government's propensity to spend infinitely is not as great as it was earlier in the week,," Emanuel said. "The dollar rallying, from our perspective, is a direct threat to a lot of these momentum trades."

    Strategists said a strengthening dollar could be a headwind for stocks.

    "Given the friction with China, to the extent the inflation numbers come in weaker than expected, the argument being that whole weaker dollar asset diversification has helped feed into increasing inflation expectations," said Emanuel. "If the inflation data does surprise to the downside, given the rally in inflation ...it's further potential for the unwinding of the short dollar trade and the unwinding of the long gold trade which in our view bleeds over into stocks."

    Individual Investors Still Don't Believe

    As mentioned in a prior post, in the past week the S&P 500 has moved within 2% of its 2/19 high, but at the same time, less than a quarter of AAII respondents are optimistic for the future of stocks over the next six months. That begs the question- if there have been past times that sentiment and price action have been so detached from one another. Since the start of the AAII survey in 1987, there have been 10 periods (including the current one) in which the S&P 500 was within 2% of an all-time high but bullish sentiment was less than 25% without another occurrence in the prior three months. The most recent prior occurrence was not even a full year ago. Back in October, sentiment was only slightly higher as the S&P 500 was 1.84% from its all-time high. Prior to that, there were some scattered instances throughout 2013, 2015, and 2016 but before that, you would have to go back to 1993 to find another similar period. The one occurrence in 2013 stands out as it was both the lowest sentiment reading of these prior occurrences and the only one that occurred with the S&P 500 right at an all-time high.

    As for where things stand after such instances, sentiment has tended to reverse higher in the following six months as the S&P 500 has tended to move higher. The S&P 500 has actually tended towards better than average returns over the next three months, although performance six months out has been modestly worse than average, even as it has been higher more often than not. Additionally, as shown in the second chart below, of the more recent occurrences of the past decade, they haven't marked any major top or bottom for the S&P 500 with occurrences clustered both coming off of lows and in the middle of longer-term uptrends.

    Silver Takes the Gold

    Gold and silver prices were already on a tear heading into this week, but they've only seen their gains accelerate even more. With more than a day and a half of trading left in the week, front-month gold futures have rallied, but silver has been the real show stopper with a gain of 16%!

    Taking a look at a one-year chart of silver over the last year, things have really gone parabolic this week as the front-month futures contract is trading more than 40% above its 50-day moving average (DMA) and 62% above its 200-DMA.

    (CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

    Were it not for the move in silver, gold's move would be getting all the attention. Prices for gold have also seen a major surge in the last month, rising from under $1,800 to the current level of $2,060 per ounce. While not as extended as silver, gold currently trades 14% above its 50-DMA and 26% above its 200-DMA.

    (CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

    With gold 25.7% above its 200-DMA and silver 62.2% above, the average spread of the two commodities currently stands at 44.3%. In the 40+ year history of the two futures contracts, there have only been a handful of prior periods where the average spread of the two commodities was larger or even above 35% for that matter with the most recent occurring back in early 2011. This recent rally in the two commodities has certainly been one for the ages.

    Big Moves Off 52-Week Lows

    Within the US equity market, we've seen some major moves in individual stocks off their 52-week lows over the last few months. Look at the table below. Within the Russell 1000, which tracks the performance of the largest companies in the US, stocks in the index are up an average of 87.6% from their respective 52-week lows. Looking at performance by individual sectors, stocks in the Energy sector are up an average of 136.8%, while the average Consumer Discretionary stock has rallied 131.4%. The Technology sector wasn't hit nearly as hard by the Covid-crash as other sectors, but stocks in the sector have doubled on an average basis relative to their 52-week lows. The only sector where stocks are up less than 50% on an average basis from their 52-week lows is Utilities at 46.33%.

    (CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

    For many investors, the holy grail of stock picking is the proverbial ten-bagger. A ten-bagger is a stock that multiplies by ten times its original price. Usually, this happens over the span of years, but in the Covid-economy, we've actually seen a number of these ten-baggers play out in the span of months. While most of these examples are in the small-cap space, shares of Wayfair (W), which has a current market cap of $27.5 billion, have rallied from $21.70 on March 19th to its current price of $290.85 now. That's a gain of more than 1,200% in less than five months!

    Within the entire Russell 1,000, 257 stocks have at least doubled off their 52-week lows, and in the table below we highlight the 34 stocks that are at least a quarter of the way to the ten-bagger club and have rallied more than 250%. As mentioned above, W tops the list, but Fastly (FSLY), which has barely been public for a year, is just shy of the club with a gain of 992%. Behind FSLY, Livongo Health (LVGO) is up 855%. Given that LVGO just got a takeover offer from Teladoc (TDOC), the 11th best-performing stock on the list, it may only make the ten-bagger club under the banner of the TDOC ticker.

    In looking through the list of stocks shown, many of these names come from the Health Care, Technology, and Consumer Discretionary sectors and have been direct beneficiaries of the new Covid-economy. At the same time, six stocks from the Energy sector made the list as well as they recovered from their bombed-out levels after oil prices briefly traded in negative territory earlier this year.

    Bullish Earnings Season So Far

    At our Earnings Explorer tool available to clients on our website, we provide a real-time look at beat rates for both EPS and sales. Below is a snapshot from the website showing both the EPS and sales beat rates for US companies reporting earnings on a rolling 3-month basis. Currently, 64.61% of companies have exceeded consensus analyst EPS estimates over the last three months, while 63.75% of companies have beaten consensus sales estimates over the same time frame.

    In looking at the chart, you can see a big spike in the EPS beat rate over the last few weeks. Since earnings season began on July 13th, nearly 80% of companies have posted stronger than expected EPS numbers. That's a huge beat rate and suggests that analysts were too bearish on Q2 numbers heading into July. The revenue beat rate held up much better than EPS beats throughout the first half of 2020, but it too is on the upswing this season.

    (CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

    We also monitor how share prices are reacting to earnings reports. So far this earnings season, the average stock that has reported Q2 numbers has gained 1.31% on its earnings reaction day. That compares to a historical average one-day change of just 0.06% on earnings reaction days. As shown below, stocks that have beaten EPS estimates this season have gained 2.2% on earnings reaction days, while companies that have missed EPS estimates have fallen 1.89%. It's rare to see beats gaining more than misses decline, but that's what is happening this season.

    Labor Market Continues Summer Momentum

    After falling the most on record in April, the US labor market has rebounded with three consecutive months of job gains, adding back more than 9 million of the 22 million jobs lost in March and April. In July, the economy added back nearly 1.8 million jobs, ahead of Bloomberg consensus estimates for 1.5 million and lowering the unemployment rate from 11.1% to 10.2%, but lingering measurement issues could add 1% to that number, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

    As shown in the LPL Chart of the Day, job gains were broad based across industries, with a third of the increase coming from the leisure and hospitality sector—the "scene of the accident" industries—while only information, and mining and logging posted declines in July.

    (CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

    "March and April were historically brutal months for the labor market, but the labor market's resiliency this summer has been a welcome development," stated LPL Chief Investment Officer Burt White. "However, the next few months will be critical for the economy as schools reopen and additional fiscal stimulus still hangs in the balance."

    The July report also comes on the heels of a rise in COVID-19 cases across the Sunbelt region of the United States. Because of the date of the survey, it may not fully reflect the economic impact of some of the more recent high-frequency data that has captured some of the effect of rising cases. Still, the jobs report shows that the US economy is continuing to heal despite the long road ahead.

    Are Recessions Good For Stocks?

    This isn't like any recession we've ever seen, as it was sparked by a horrible pandemic and happened because people were told to stay inside. The impact was the worst contraction in gross domestic product (GDP) last quarter that anyone who is reading this has ever seen. But what is quite surprising is the fact the Nasdaq has made 30 all-time highs so far in 2020, while the S&P 500 Index has gained four consecutive months, all while the unemployment rate remains above 10%.

    Why is this happening? There are two main schools of thought. One is that stocks are forecasting a better economy later this year and into 2021; remember, stocks tend to lead the economy and could be doing so once again. Another school of thought is that the massive fiscal and monetary policy are boosting equity prices, while not helping the overall economy quite as much.

    Here's the catch. It actually isn't abnormal to see stocks gain during a recession. "This is one that might surprise many people, but stocks have actually gained during 7 of the past 12 recessions," explained LPL Financial Chief Market Strategist Ryan Detrick. "There's no question the difference between what is happening on Wall Street compared with Main Street is about as wide as we've ever seen, but maybe it shouldn't be as big of a surprise that stocks have been strong."

    As shown in the LPL Chart of the Day, the S&P 500 actually gained 1.3% on average when looking at the 12 previous recessions going back to World War II, with a very impressive median advance of 5.7% (the average is skewed lower due to 2008). We continue to expect this recession to end soon, if it isn't over already. In fact, when the end of the recession is officially declared at a later date, we could have yet another recession that saw stock market gains.

    Stock Picking Isn't for me - Need Help Selecting ETF's

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 07:16 AM PDT

    I started trading about 3 months ago. I have a 9am to 5pm job, so I can't watch the market. I have about $100K that I don't need for the next 3-5 years. I'm planning to invest at least 50K in ETF's because I need something low risk and well diversified. So far, I'm planning to invest in QQQ/VGT because I love Tech companies, and SPY/VOO. What other ETF's should I look for? Also, most stocks are at all time high, is now still a good time to get in or wait until the election? I understand you can't time the market, but I'm not sure how the market reacts during election time. Thank you and have a great weekend.

    Has anyone here consistently beat the S&P500 annual returns consistently?

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 07:25 PM PDT

    I just wanna hear success stories from people, and how they got to where they are. I'm wondering if this is even a possible task as most funds and advisors don't beat the overall market.

    Will BRK crash when Buffet Dies

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 07:11 AM PDT

    Title pretty much says it all. Warren Buffet is in his late 80's and one of the main reasons people invest in BRK in the first place is because of the trust they have in Buffet. So wouldn't it make sense that if he does a sell off would occur?

    Intel CEO bought $400k of Intel stock & upcoming Tiger Lake

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 10:16 AM PDT

    Apparently he bought the dip with an average price of $50/share, which makes today price look like a good deal. This makes me wonder if he believes that Intel will recover from its infamous 7nm delay announcement. It's almost like he wants to get the worst news out first, and any good news after that will sound like a great news. There will be a presentation in Aug 13 by Intel chief architect about its new Tiger Lake, which is said to be launch in Sep 2. And it is said that they plan to ramp up production of Tiger Lake by 40% more than previously intended. It sounds to me that Intel is betting big on Tiger Lake. Based on recent benchmark, Intel i7-1165G7 10nm CPU is 20-35% faster than AMD's Ryzen 7 4800U 7nm CPU in single-threaded workloads. Even though Intel CPU only has 4 cores (vs 8 cores in AMD CPU), it is only 6-17% slower than AMD CPU. So performance-wise, Intel 10nm CPU still looks pretty competitive against AMD 7nm. With deep pocket, Intel can price Tiger Lake lower than usual to stop AMD from gaining market share. Will Tiger Lake become a hit? I think there might be a chance.

    Do you think the market could ever get to a point of just being open 24/7

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 08:36 AM PDT

    I know why the hours are the way that they are but as time progresses and more and more programs offer after hours trading, do you think that the market could just ever become open 24/7

    Opinions on my portfolio strategy/ buy a flat or keep investing heavily in stocks?

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 06:28 AM PDT

    I want to discuss my strategy with you my beloved redditors and get some opinions for inspiration.

    Personal situation: 30 yo married no kids I am a lawyer in germany. My wife has a very advanced understanding of work life balance and works only 24/h. She doesnt excpect me to work more then her. She values sparetime. Im totaly fine with it. I just have higher materialistic goals then her.

    I am working for 1 year now and i am partner in a small chancellery.

    Total income after taxes wife (21k €) me (50k): 61k/y or 5k/m Cost of living per month: 1.4k

    We are both very ecenomical and are sitting a house at the beach till the summer of 2023 which allows us to only pay 300€/m of rent.

    My goal is to be financialy free (1.5m in stocks + maybe 2-3 flats for renting to tourists) at the age of 50 with a payed off house. We want to build the house in 2022 so we can move in in 2023.

    Our house will cost us aproximatly 800k-900k. Its expensive here at the beach but we want the quality of life not to go down.

    I dont care about prestige. I will drive used cars worth 5k forever. If i have to show off in front of clients i rent a car or use the car of one of my partners and pay them something.

    In 2019 we both finished the law exams and started working in august 2023.

    We started with 10k cash 1 year ago. Started investing in Dec 2019.

    Portfolio:

    20k Cash

    40k stocks

    MSFT 12k (up 10%)

    Amzn 9k (up 72%)

    Googl 6k (up 3%)

    MA 6k (up 13%)

    JPM 2k (down 5%)

    INTC 5k (down 17%)

    OPTION A: We have the chance to buy a 71sqm flat 100m from the beach for 250k. Its build in 1970 and we need to invest 50k to make it a modern and flooded with light.

    My father is an architect. He can help us for free. The price is ok'ish in this overheated market.

    Our plan is to use the flat as a vacation rental. This would pay for mortgage and all expenses and leave ~ 100 €/m of free cash flow. We can rent it for 150€/d in the summertime. I expect 160 booked days per year.

    Pos: -we create a steady small income stream - after 20 years we payed off the mortgage and have a nice asset - we use debt to create wealth which ensures we dont suffer under a possible hyperinflation in our allocation phase before we invest our money into our own house

    Cons: - additional effort for renting the flat via airbnb - i would have to sell all my stocks right now - risk of things like roof damage and other unforseen things - all savings are bound in the flat - maybe not enough savings until we plan to buy our own property in 2022 - my own inexperience concerning this matter

    OPTION B:

    We dont buy the flat and keep investing 1k/ month in etfs waiting for a nice entry points like in march and save up via this way until we buy our property.

    I am interested in your comments! Sry for my bad english skills.

    Have a nice saturday

    Southeast Asian Stock Recommendations?

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 12:47 PM PDT

    Hey Guys,

    Looking for any recommendations or positions people might have with southeast Asian companies. I think they've handled the pandemic pretty well, and it was an emerging market even before all of this, so it might be a good opportunity.

    I have one position in Weyland Tech - WEYL which did great last week. But looking for other companies that could have long term gains.

    ETF portfolio exposure calculator?

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 12:25 PM PDT

    Does anyone know of a tool where I can enter a portfolio's ETF holdings and weights, and will calculate what the exposure is to each company? For instance let's say someone's portfolio is 80% VTI and 20% QQQ, and wants to know what percentage of their portfolio is AAPL, MSFT, etc.

    Apple: to buy or not to

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 01:39 PM PDT

    I have roughly 550 in stocks (RH), I know it's not the best platform. Question is, should I liquidate all my holdings to buy 1 Apple prior to split. My most profitable ones are Ford, Pfizer and Sony. Rest are just penny stocks I'm speccing.

    【QUESTION】How price showing works

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 10:37 AM PDT

    Hi all traders,

    It may sound stupid, but this question suddenly pumps in my mind when I was about to sleep last night.

    Statement: The price of a ticker showing in your brokerage account or any chart is the lastest price that the stock has been traded upon, both Bid and Ask.

    Given this is correct (Pls correct me if it is wrong), say assume now there is a penny stock ticker $BBQ currently trading at $0.3 with very low volume (less than 1K volume daily). If the above statement is true, wouldn't I be able to buy one share at $0.4 or $0.5 or any available ask price to easily lift the price up? I'm not sure what I'm missing here given the price suppose to be the lastest traded price. Am I missing the volume or other factors?

    ​

    Thanks guys, appreciate it.

    Is Brk B undervalued right now?

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 09:07 PM PDT

    I bought a position in brk b back in early July 2020. Ive seen a pretty solid return since then. I primarily purchase low cost index funds, but I'm considering adding to my position with more shares of brk b given it's diversity as a company and the compelling integrity and consistency of Buffet and the rest of the leadership around him. Should I wait for a dip in the price or buy more now? I believe the shares are still undervalued. What would you estimate the intrinsic value of a brk b share to be? Also, Why hasnt Buffet used the company's cash to make any more major acquisitions?

    CMCSA vs VZN vs ATT

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 02:21 PM PDT

    What are your thoughts on the these 3 companies, as competitors, who will come out on top?

    In terms of stock value, CMCSA seems so undervalued and seems to have everything needed to succeed and adapt to the future technological environment. In what ways can Verizon and ATT come out ahead of CMCSA?
