Posted: 17 Oct 2020 04:14 AM PDT (If this is a recent topic in some other post, please lmk and I'll delete this) I took a small position in AMD a couple of weeks ago, and at the top of my head I think it's an OK mid to long-term investment. I know a fair bit must already be priced in, but won't they sell a good portion in the coming years and make solid money? Is there any news, developments or other factors I need to take into account? What are your thoughts, and what's your horizon on the investment if you hold any? Just sold Sunrun with good returns after I thought I could have it mid-long in my portfolio (thought I'll wait out a couple of months and see where it stabilizes). [link] [comments] |
Posted: 17 Oct 2020 08:50 AM PDT I am trying to understand options trading. And I was wondering: If I buy 1000 shares in, let's say NIO at 28.48, and then 1) buy 10 OTM puts at 26 for 1,6, and simultaneously 2) sell 10 OTM calls (same expiration date) at 31 for 4,5... then I have downside protection and lock in the potential sale price. In other words, the premium on the sold call more than covers the price of the bought put so worst case scenario is selling at 26 everything going into 0. No profit. No loss. Best case scenario is profit. So, what's to lose with this strategy other than foregoing some profits if the stock goes up? [link] [comments] |
Posted: 17 Oct 2020 08:44 AM PDT Introduction: AMC Entertainment and Cinemark are the two largest U.S. theater companies.
52 Week Highs/Lows:
Comparing the balance sheets (At a glance): Before this comparison just some quick notes: Movie attendance has decreased gradually over the last 20 years. Both Cinemark and AMC have released rewards programs which has actually increased attendance in 2019 (And then a wild COVID appeared). Additionally both companies have increased their prices to bump up their revenues over the years. AMC has spend the last several years buying up Cinema chains (Lots of acquisitions in 2016-17), this has loaded them up on debt. So, naturally, COVID-19 has put the company in a very difficult spot.
AMC is currently in fund-raising mode, they have stated they have enough funds through the year and possibly a bit longer. Recently though AMC has made a deal with Universal. A step into the streaming market, especially during these lockdowns, could move the company in a brighter direction if they can weather their current conditions. Cinemark, unlike AMC, has committed to more conservative growth, a move that puts Cinemark in an excellent position to weather the current COVID downturns.
Cinemark has states they have enough money to last through 2021 comfortably. One important note, unlike AMC, Cinemark does not appear to have made move towards streaming services. This could impact their future revenues if theater attendance continues to decline more in favor for streaming. The Takeaway: This choice definitely comes down to personal risk tolerance, and depends on your view of the resiliency of the movie industry. Theaters have been on the decline for years, the reward programs have decreased this flow a bit, but how much will it continue to do so especially if people have unsubscribed from these to pinch pennies during COVID? AMC is definitely the riskier of the two, they have tons of debt and Europe has seen less theater attendance than Latin America has for CNK. However if AMC survives (by its own means or government money), there is potential for stronger upside, especially since they are getting their foot in the door with universal. Cinemark's conservative growth is definitely paying off during this time. However, if AMC does survive then what will Cinemark's moves be in the future to ensure their continues relevance as theaters continue to decline? Final Thoughts: Do I think these (AMC & CNK) are super long term holds? I am hesitant to say. Looking at a 1-2 year window I do believe they both have strong potential for profit. Beyond that it is difficult to say. AMC's moves with universal could put the company on a new future path away from traditional theaters. It'll be interesting to see where that goes and what Cinemark will do to move itself from a potentially dying market. If you buy definitely set stop-losses just incase, and/or plan an exit price. Thankyou to all that have read this far. This is not all inclusive so please please do your own research to supplement the quick comparison here. Additionally thankyou to everyone who provided constructive comments on the AT&T post. That was definitely more of a controversial stock, it was interesting to hear everyone's different takes.

AT&T (NYSE: T) - An excellent opportunity for Dividend Investors, or those looking to start. Posted: 16 Oct 2020 06:59 PM PDT AT&T is a company that I'm sure doesn't need explaining. It is familiar to all of us as a telecom company that has branched out to providing internet, entertainment (HBO Max being one of their more recent ventures), and more. Why this is being posted now & the potential:
Looking at it current chart (16 October for reference) we can clearly see here that the stock is trading at its lowest levels since Q1. This provides a great opportunity to buy quality company at much higher yields to lock in superior long-term returns. It is unlikely they will drop much lower than this point due to the effect downward pressure has on dividend paying companies. If we look at the older charts, when AT&T has reached these lows the stock has a strong tendency to rally from this 27-28$ support area. Additionally AT&T has a lot going for it, let's quickly take a look. What AT&T has going for it:
Warner Media and HBO Max may be points of controversy here. Let's look at it from this perspective. These get AT&T into new markets, HBO in particular into the saturated streaming market. Netflix has dominated this particular sector, however Disney and AT&T are cracking Netflix's business model by pulling back their streaming to their own platforms. This is the reason Netflix is creating so many of its own shows/movies and increasing it's subscription price. This pressure is allowing AT&T to slowly claw its way in. (Very slowly though, obv HBO Max is no Disney Plus). Additionally this will be the first full quarter of HBO Max on the books for AT&T, with 36 million new subscribers reported it is likely to have a positive effect on the report. The safe dividend is a strong factor to remain bullish on AT&T. Even with the disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic, AT&T's balance sheets show recurring profitability and consistent cash flow generation can easily cover the quarterly payouts. Two big issues:
It could be a good sign that AT&T is finally looking to sell the underperforming Direct TV. Sure they bought it for $67 Billion and would likely sell for $20 Billion but off loading legacy segments can allow them to focus on growth and expand into markets that are actually relevant for today and tomorrow while being less of a drag on their current debt. Final Comments: Please extend this by doing your own research on top of everything else you have read here, there were many points only briefly touched on. Thank you for taking the time to read! EDIT: Thanks to all that posted constructive comments! As several have pointed out, yes, AT&T has underperformed the S&P, it should be avoided if you aren't seeking out a high paying dividend stock.

Cloudflare "One more thing" event! Buckle up boys!

iPhone price wars are back as carriers compete for 5G customers Posted: 17 Oct 2020 12:18 PM PDT U.S. carriers are actively competing for subscribers by discounting the new iPhone, hoping to lock customers in for years on their wireless service. Verizon and AT&T are advertising "free" iPhone 12s for customers who sign up for unlimited plans and multiple-year commitments. For Apple, the wave of carrier promotions could boost iPhone sales in the United States by reducing the cost of a new phone. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 17 Oct 2020 10:37 AM PDT Hey guys! I was wondering, what are the hypothetical risks of holding a pure ETF Portfolio? (Eg. 15% ARKK, 15% ARKG, 30% VOO, 30% QQQ and 10% ICLN)? In my portfolio, the only ETFs I hold are ARKK, ICLN and QCLN but they represent about 27% of my overall portfolio. (Not looking to change that but wondered what the risks would be for traders who don't wanna bother too much with stocks like my brother). Thanks 😊 [link] [comments] |
Posted: 17 Oct 2020 10:59 AM PDT Announced just before ending market, there was a finalized partnership of CVSHealth with the White House deliver the Coronavirus vaccine directly to nursing homes with no cost to seniors. There seems to be a lot of stock volume, just before the announcement, up 13%. Given that everything went down last week, do you think they're undervalued? They are trading under their cash value right now and with the second wave, I think they'll rally a bit more. How are you going to play them? [link] [comments] |
Posted: 17 Oct 2020 08:16 AM PDT Hertz just announced it will received 1.65 billion in financing, actual process won't finalized until oct 29. Whats the next move?? Should we be going all in buying as much stock as possible or staying as far away as possible coming nowhere near it?? All advice appreciated [link] [comments] |
I had a failed startup and almost went broke until I started trading. Posted: 17 Oct 2020 11:10 AM PDT I am 28, married and own a travel related startup. We had some good growth and were making good profit. But ever since, the Covid pandemic, our business has slowed down alot.We lost a lot of money and laid off many employees. Due to this,I decided to get into trading about 5 months ago to cover up for the lost income. I had to start from 0 as I didn't a darn thing about the stock market. I invested plenty of time in researching and collecting information. I found some great sources online that explained things very well. So,I started with a small capital. I won't lie, It was going terrible at first lol. It was hit and miss, I would gain some, lose some. I wasn't really getting anywhere. Then, I started carefully analysing stocks, seeing the annual report etc. I have started buying and selling in shorter periods of time. Doing this, I have made over $15k in the last month alone. I buy the stocks when I feel they are at an upward trend and sell when I hit my target. if they drop , I try to atleast break even and minimize losses as much as possible. It's important to be wise and opportunistic. Don't get too greedy. If the stock is at a high, Don't wait too long or it will backfire. Moreover, Pick your battles. Don't just buy and sell on a whim. Have a plan and a target in mind. What is your reason of buying? What do you expect to happen? What is your escape if it fails? Whether you are a veteran trader or a newbie, it really doesn't matter. You will be successful if you play cards right. Keep Trading. Edit- Since I am getting a lot dm's for sources, i will just link some that i liked here. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 17 Oct 2020 05:49 AM PDT I was supposed to start investing about a year ago (didn't know anything and had to do research etc), but I procrastinated because of mental health issues. Then the corona crash happened, and I thought that it was my chance to enter the market but I missed it again due to procrastination. This summer I decided to do something about it and I gradually started to learn more about the stock market and how to invest, but I kept procrastinating until September when I invested a small amount just to try it out. Since then I have been learning and researching a lot, but now that I've found my strategy I feel like the prices are too high to get in now. I know that my procrastination has been the issue from the very beginning, but I don't know if I should keep waiting (holding a significant amount of cash right now) and I find myself beating myself up over not investing during the crash. My plan is long-term investing for at least 10-15 years, so does it matter if I enter the market when the prices are really high? Can't let go of all the gains I would've made if I invested in March or even April/May/June when I was too caught up in other things. What should I do? [link] [comments] |
Picking the right place to put my 401k in Schwab Posted: 17 Oct 2020 01:29 PM PDT So Schwab is giving me several options to contribute 100% of my contributions to what ever they have available to pick and I'm not sure where to put all or break it up into different selections they have. I'll get a 6% match from the company I think that's the max. Just want it in the right place to make the most out of what I select any advice? [link] [comments] |

Is GBP to USD rate about to tank (thus making it smart for UK traders to invest in US stocks)? Posted: 17 Oct 2020 03:53 AM PDT I am referring to the following bbc article: Brexit: Trade talks with the EU are over, says No 10 If trade talks are over that means no deal Brexit and ~10% drop in the pound.
The problem is, the wording used and the fact that EU negotiators are coming to London leaves some room for a deal to still go through. The question is - on Monday when markets open, is the pound likely to see a sudden drop? If so, I can transfer my savings to USD over the weekend with Transferwise - thus avoiding my money losing value. [link] [comments] |
Sold all my SPOT and NFLX shares. Loading up on NIO Posted: 16 Oct 2020 05:32 PM PDT I actually sold SPOT at a 2% loss which was my first loss ever.

Posted: 17 Oct 2020 06:31 AM PDT I'm 17 years old with a job making just above minimum wage. I started doing research on value investing so obviously I went straight to buffet. I've been studying for around a month now but I haven't made any actions. I have $2000 saved up and am looking for advice on what you guys would do from my situation. I'm still learning so detailed explanations would be great. Who do I open my account with? What company's should I research? I've learned the basics on how to value a company. Any help would be greatly appreciated! [link] [comments] |
universa spitznagel and nassim taleb Posted: 17 Oct 2020 07:42 AM PDT i see alot of people talk about investing here but not that much about hedging which im sure alot of you do. What do you guys think of universa investments & nassim talebs advice on allocating a tiny bit of your portfolio to losing a tiny bit constantly on tail hedges that pay off big time if something crashes, i dont really understand specifically what they do besides just "tail hedging" but universa made 4000% gains (might be a slightly different number im just reading articles) during q1 2020 as the market tanked. Not a topic i see here alot so id just like to hear your thoughts on these types of hedges and mark spitznagel & nassim talebs investing strategys in general [link] [comments] |
Posted: 17 Oct 2020 05:53 AM PDT Heavily considering selling $MTCH on Monday to pick up more shares of $JD and $BABA and maybe even a couple shares of $ICLN I'm not envisioning a ton of upside for $MTCH considering rising COVID cases, new CEO, future Bumble IPO, and challenges in further monetizing Tinder [link] [comments] |
Curious to understand ZM (Zoom) Posted: 17 Oct 2020 12:01 AM PDT Not to beat a dead horse here but zoom is massively overvalued. When it comes down to it, video conferencing as a whole is relatively old but zoom still had the slight first mover advantage here. I guess what im saying is that their business and product is so "easy" to replicate considering how long the implementation has been around. They could be a memory if they cant compete with the other major players who practically pushed out their own works in progress overnight. Im watching this stock to study how people react, but do they really believe that zoom is a disruptor in any sense? People are still buying in on this like its only going to go up.
