| How do billionaires liquidate their wealth/shares without crashing the company stock? Posted: 12 Aug 2020 12:29 AM PDT I am Elon Mask and own 60% of the share of the Telsa. These 60% share amount to 5 Billion USD. Outside this, I don't have any wealth. Now I want to spend 1 Billion USD on hookers, and I need that money urgently (Sunday is my bachelor party). If I even sell 5% of my stock, my stock value will reduce much more because of the panic it will create in the stock market. So what are the options for me now to sell 12% of my share without reducing the market value of the stock by much amount? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 12 Aug 2020 08:56 AM PDT https://www.cnbc.com/2020/08/12/uber-may-shut-down-temporarily-in-california.html Uber would likely shut down temporarily for several months if a court does not overturn a recent ruling requiring it to classify its drivers as full-time employees, CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said in an interview with Stephanie Ruhle Wednesday on MSNBC. Uber and rival Lyft both have about a week left to appeal a preliminary injunction granted by a California judge on Monday that will prohibit the companies from classifying their drivers as independent workers. If the appeal doesn't work out for Uber, it will bank on voters to determine its fate in voting on on Proposition 22, which would exempt drivers for app-based transportation and delivery companies from being considered employees.

| Take advantage of "Revenge Travel" Posted: 12 Aug 2020 07:05 AM PDT I live in Taiwan and I have seen firsthand how eager people are to go out and travel. Despite all the rules and restrictions restaurants are packed and hotel rooms are all booked out, even on weekdays. I have heard similar stories in China too. There is even a term invented here, after translation should be something like "Revenge Travel" meaning people are fed up with restrictions and they are going out anyway. I don't encourage this behavior from public health's point of view, since this is a stockmarket community I'm just wondering what stock can I invest to take advantage of this "Revenge Travel" situation? Are people experiencing similar situation in the US also? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 12 Aug 2020 06:15 AM PDT Hi Guys, Hope you're all well! I'm having a hard time trying to understand the major differences between these ETFs. I know a lot of them have companies that overlap; if someone has a deep understanding and knowledge on them and what really differentiates them and which one to pick for a long growth hold can you please share? I just want something that is less risky and will give me healthy growth over the next 5-10 years.( I know nothing is for sure in the stock market) I hold positions currently in VOOG and VWRL but I want to try and pick one of the above 5 and have it be my main ETF that I put into every month. All information, opinions, knowledge, and discussions welcomed. Have a great day! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 12 Aug 2020 08:03 AM PDT Does anyone have any idea as to why today there was a 29% fall on the share price of Novavax? This whole week the stock fell almost 33%. I can't explain the huge fall from 160ish to 117 in just a couple hours, other than Moderna's news on the $1.5 billion U.S. contract for the vaccine. Do you think it could go back up to $150+? Edit: Also, from what I have read online, Russia's vaccine was not thoroughly tested and certainly there are many doubts on how effective it is going to be (as phase 3 clinical trials were not tested). For example, Germany does not seem to be confident on such vaccine [link] [comments]  |
| GOOG vs AAPL? Which do you prefer longterm? Posted: 12 Aug 2020 11:17 AM PDT Been thinking of whether I should trim my apple or google positions and honestly...feeling kinda bearish on Google. Google has been lagging QQQ for a while now. I guess partly due to the ad cutting due to corona. But it also seems like their ad revenue growth has been decelerating for other reasons with a lot of players attacking the space from different angles (Amzn,TTD, Roku, FB, ramp etc). Their company culture is heavily based around engineering yet not so savvy when it comes to product marketing and expanding shareholder value. They come up with cool tech but seem to always be either too late or too early to the party. Google glasses didn't pan out, pixel phones are a modest success but not taking the industry by storm, google shopping is a money sink, Google fiber was curtailed, Fitbit acquisition is kind of iffy (Samsung/Garmin/Apple already dominate the space across respective demographics). They keep selling the AI future but Waymo seems to be the only thing they have going here that can turn out to be truly profitable. Will that be enough though? Apple on the other hand knows how to drive share price. Always doing buybacks. Although they are historically a hardware focused company they are transitioning more and more into the services industry with their popular app store, Apple TV+, apple pay etc. Seems like this will be their long-term pivot. And road ahead seems more clearer to me than Google's. Seems like AAPL just has more growth opportunities left in it and has superior company culture. Google seems to be transitioning to more of a value stock. What are your thoughts? [link] [comments]  |
| TSLA: Take profits or hold till Split, Battery Day & S&P 500 inclusion? Posted: 12 Aug 2020 10:14 AM PDT I am in quite an unexpected situation. Last Friday, I was looking to swing trade and TSLA seemed an like a great candidate for that purpose. I bought 9 shares when it had dipped to $1430/share on Friday with hopes it climbs up to $1490 and makes a quick profit. Come Monday, TSLA dipped again to the $1370's and I was getting worried. I decided to double down and DCA my TSLA shares by grabbing 9 more at $1373/share so I could break even at $1402 and GTFO of this TSLA madness. Then the madness really began with a 5-1 split news that rocketed the share to $1460 on extended hours and now it's hovering around $1520/share! I'm sitting at $2300 profit from this journey but with all the big events coming up, I feel like holding TSLA would be the smarter move but it's really hard not taking the $2K+ profit when I was only looking to make a quick buck. What should the move be? I feel like a swing trader converted to a investor lol.. [link] [comments]  |
| How are fractional shares handled during a stock split? Posted: 12 Aug 2020 06:58 AM PDT Say you have 100.5 shares of AAPL when it does it's 4 to 1 split. Does that .5 turn into 2 shares or does the broker just convert it to the equivalent cash amount? Or say you buy 0.5 shares of TSLA before its 5 to 1 split. Will fractional shares still split? Or will they be liquidated? I ask because I've had fractional shares disappear when moving them between two Fidelity accounts and it turns out they just swapped it for the cash instead of transferring the fractional shares. *NOTE: this is not a question about the math of the split, it's about brokerage policies.

| How did AAPL gain close to 1 trillion in market cap since 2019? Posted: 11 Aug 2020 02:43 PM PDT It was a monumental moment to be the first to reach 1 trillion at the end of 2018. But what has Apple really done to justify a now almost 2 trillion market cap? Or is it just overvalued? [link] [comments]  |
| Rumors of USA receiving credit downgrade, a new risk for stock market? Posted: 12 Aug 2020 04:13 AM PDT I keep reading that usa credit rating is getting downgraded soon as the deficit is getting out of control, and last time this credit rating downgrade happened in 2011, stock market dropped for about 20%. The deficit is also way larger now than in 2011, so do you think this is something to be concerned of in the coming days? [link] [comments]  |
| Should young investors even invest in dividend stocks? Posted: 12 Aug 2020 12:53 PM PDT I'm 19 years old and I have an individual account and a Roth IRA. In my Roth, I invest in VOO and VTI and in my individual account, I have over 15 stocks. I would consider 10 of them blue chips and the other 5 dividend stocks. Is it even worth it to have dividend stocks at a young age and should I just invest that money in more blue chip/growth stocks? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 12 Aug 2020 11:01 AM PDT So I originally posted r/greeninvestor but I believe this is an amazing opportunity regardless of your investing appetite. Today their CEO was on Wallstreet Reporter's "Next Super Stock" and announced that the company was given a Smart Sustainable Company Rating Seal rating 'AAA' by Triple-A Analytics GmbH of Austria. Because of this the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe will promote it to the 200 cities involved which is truly a massive announcement. There are several other catalysts coming with pilot project results being announced in the coming months which I believe will snow ball this company. They are sitting on $18M cash so can weather any storm for the forseeable future. I truly believe this is about to pop and will be a great thing for the fight against climate change as well as a great opportunity for investing. It trades on the TSX: DYA.TO and OTC: DYFSF, big bull run today from these announcements The original post I made 1 month ago: "So I have been in this sub for quite some time, trying to hear of new interesting investment opportunities, but I often realize many people have not heard of some of the main green companies I am investing in. With all the hype around Nikola etc. I cant help but want to share a company which I think will be much more successful in the near future, DynaCERT. The following is a write up I sent to a buddy of mine who asked for more information and why I like the company: DynaCERT, a green tech company which has developed a product that uses distilled water to inject hydrogen into diesel engines which cause them burn 60% more efficiently and reduces emissions by 50%. They just did a sizable deal with Day and Ross Logistics, I think this can snow-ball into several other deals across North America (Google the press release) They also have large contracts for mining companies in Brazil and Logistics companies throughout Europe, mostly Germany. I feel like they are gaining serious momentum globally. I like DYA because I believe it is probably the best way to disrupt the logistics and major diesel power equipment there is and it's a green technology which I think will be massive in this decade. DYA has a patented product which is like 50lbs and connects to diesel engines. It uses distilled water to create and inject hydrogen molecules into diesel combustion engines at the perfect amount resulting in 60% more efficient burn rate and 50% less emissions released into the atmosphere. It is better than electric trucks because it requires far less resources and electric vehicles are only as clean as the electricity source, diesel at 50% less is cleaner than most electrical sources in the USA and globally. Also, diesel engines already exist, so they dont have to mine lithium/cobalt to build electric car batteries and the logistics companies love it because it makes their engines more efficient, resulting in better fuel economy and less money spent on fuel. Cheap fuel might be a good thing for DYA too as people will keep their diesel fleet but will look for cleaner more efficient ways to transport goods as the fight against climate change becomes more and more apparent. They attach to any diesel engine but arent really cost effective for anything smaller than a transport truck (used widely in mining industry as well), so doesnt really enter into the personal vehicle category, but whatever, there is big enough business with logistics, construction and mining industries. That gives them room to grow if they can come up with a more affordable and smaller unit which can work on retail consumer vehicles. Eric Sprott who is a major investor in Canada bought $14M of shares in November, the SP peaked at $1.20 CAD pre-covid. I can see it getting back there easily and then further as more news/deals are released. I think with more press this stock will start flying." [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 12 Aug 2020 11:47 AM PDT Looking for advice on what would be the implications of selling the stocks within a month or after an year. As an example : if i bought AMZN say at $3000 on July 1st and sold off at $3100 on August 1st compared to selling off on July 1st of 2021. [link] [comments]  |
| S&P1500 vs Total Market (SPTM vs VTI) Posted: 12 Aug 2020 09:33 AM PDT SPTM (S&P1500 etf) vs VTI (market)? Any thoughts on which is better for a large blend holding? Similar returns over time. S&P1500 will have less exposure, but you can also argue that many of the excess stocks are not great stocks. [link] [comments]  |
| ELI5: What is happening with DGAZF and make me feel better that I didn’t invest when it was $4000 Posted: 12 Aug 2020 07:50 AM PDT I have no idea what this company is, what It does. But I literally sat here and watched it go up $10,000 and I feel sick to my stomach lol how about you guys!!! Anyone here lucked out with it? [link] [comments]  |
| Stuck holding Camber Energy..... Posted: 12 Aug 2020 12:00 PM PDT So I am holding 3000 or so shares of Camber Energy and have been watching them fall forever it seems. Anyone have any info that would make me hold any longer or get out now?? [link] [comments]  |
| Beating the market, but for how long? Posted: 12 Aug 2020 11:59 AM PDT During this pandemic I decided to double down in early may on prospects I have been watching for a while now such as BLDR, MGM, and BAC. I have since sold half of my position in each and instead have refocused on dividend stocks for the year. I have a heavy position in O, STOR, BAC (still), WFG, GS and KO. I have initiated smaller positions in PVH as well as Disney and I remained long on digital realty. (DLR is a great stock IMHO). I have since sold all long calls (except for my GE calls, GE biggest comeback 2022...I hope) I'm wondering what flaws people may see in this besides the large exposure to banks in a recession. The fed rate is going to be kept near 0 for a while from what I've read and I believe regardless of how this second stimulus turns out, I believe the short term could be bloody come the end of 2020. Edit: I'm up ~30% since may which is why I've lowered my MGM and completely sold my BLDR positions. What course of action would anyone take when taking profit in this market? Is it recommended to take the money and run? Or stay on the street for potential bloodbaths? [link] [comments]  |
| Hints At Android Automotive OS's Imminent Breakout (GOOG) / DD Posted: 12 Aug 2020 10:13 AM PDT From the article:
https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2020/08/android-for-cars.html I'm a developer and I follow Android auto development somewhat closely, and this has led me to believe that Google / Alphabet is going to be getting into fleet management with Android Automotive OS. This is going to continue to grow with consumers, but also commercial vehicle fleets in a huge way. This is so much more than a modern radio ui for cars. Paying for EV charging, monetized in-car apps, paying for tolls, driver monitoring, fleet route management and logistics, fleet fuel payments, rental car management, corporate car management, last-mile delivery management - Google is going to own this space in a few years. Android Auto was a huge exercise in in-car UI. This is a next step towards Alphabet running the infrastructure of fleet logistics, skimming a little bit off every transaction that runs through cars. Monetizing the prominence of certain EV charging stations over others during route calculations. Making fuel / charging payment as seamless as a Tesla connecting to a supercharger for everyone else. This complete vehicle systems integration with the OS is a step away from integration with Waymo autonomous technology in the future. Think of the data collection potential, and similar shadow training capabilities that associate camera feeds with driver interactions. This developer article is a key baby step indicator revealing that Renault and GM are not far away from integrating this technology. We know GM / Renault both have huge vehicle fleets in the corporate world, and that this is no longer a niche play with companies like Volvo. Positions: I'm long GOOG with stock, and have a 1600c for 11/20 [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 12 Aug 2020 11:39 AM PDT DIN Over 50 again. Was about 100 pre covid. Rising consistently over the last month. Pays dividends. You guys with me or naw?! I got in at 18 and 28 [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 12 Aug 2020 11:17 AM PDT I naively bought two Inovio stocks at $31, and now the price is down to $15. Is there any hope that it will go back up? It's just been going straight down this month. [link] [comments]  |
| Do you use stop-losses for riskier stocks? Posted: 12 Aug 2020 10:50 AM PDT I've recently instituted a -10% stop-loss policy for my riskier investments and it makes me feel better in general. Before this, for years I would often hold on to sinking stocks if it was a company I believed would recoup, trying to strictly adhere to a "buy low/sell high" thing. Several times that never happened and I just saw that red in my portfolio every day for like two years until I had enough. I've started to gamble a bit more with riskier and unstable stocks lately (in addition to my strong portfolio staples like AMZN, AAPL, Index Funds, etc.) Some pay off and some don't, but decided to cut my losses at 10%. What types of stop-losses do you all use, if any? [link] [comments]  |
