Apple’s first-day pre-orders for iPhone 12 surpassed the iPhone 11, top analyst says Posted: 19 Oct 2020 04:58 AM PDT https://www.cnbc.com/2020/10/19/iphone-12-pre-orders-sales-exceed-iphone-11-top-analyst-says.html First-day iPhone 12 pre-orders surpassed last year's iPhone 11 pre-orders, according to top Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of TF International Securities. Kuo said Apple sold up to 2 million iPhone 12 models in the first 24 hours of pre-orders, up from 800,000 units of the iPhone 11 for the same period last year. China has the most demand for the new iPhones since the country's 5G networks are more widely available than they are in other countries, he said. [link] [comments] |
Here is a Market Recap for today Mon, Oct 19, 2020. Please enjoy! Posted: 19 Oct 2020 01:08 PM PDT PsychoMarket Recap - Monday, October 19, 2020 Stocks fell after the sell-off accelerated in the last hour of the market, as market participants closely monitored development for a near-term stimulus package and rising coronavirus cases in Europe and the US. The Nasdaq (QQQ) finished the day 1.63% down. The S&P 500 (SPY) finished the day 1.49% down and the Dow Jones (DIA) ended the day 1.34% down. Stocks finished deep in the red after the last hour sell-off. Over the weekend, there were several developments regarding a coronavirus-relief package. In comments to reporters in Nevada, Pres. Trump said "I want to do a bigger number than she wants [Pelosi's $2.2 trillion proposal]. That doesn't mean all Republicans agree with me, but I think they will in the end. If she would go along, I think they would too, on stimulus." These comments imply that Pres. Trump is willing to propose a higher number than the $1.8 trillion the White House proposed recently. While Republicans have consistently balked at such a high price-tag, maybe Pres. Trump's endorsement can help move the needle. In response, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi set a Tuesday deadline for reaching an agreement with the Trump administration to pass stimulus before the November election. She and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, another key negotiator, reportedly continued to have discussions over the weekend and are scheduled to meet again today. Drew Hamill, Pelosi's spokesperson said, "While there was some encouraging news on testing, there remains work to do to ensure there is a comprehensive testing plan that includes contact tracing and other measures to address the impact on the virus on different communities." According to data from John Hopkins, there were 57,000 and 48,000 new cases recorded on Saturday. While this is a marked improvement from 69,000 cases on Friday (the highest one day total since late-July) the numbers appear to be stagnating around the 50,000 new cases per day. The South and the Midwest have been the most hard-hit regions. In Europe, there has been a surge in cases, with health and government officials warning of a second wave and imposing new restrictions throughout the continent. The Republic of Ireland will move into "Level Five" restrictions from midnight on Wednesday, the country's highest COVID alert level, for the next six weeks. Switzerland and Italy are imposing a nationwide mask mandate in all public spaces, even outdoors from Monday. In England a three-tier system remains in place, with varying restrictions imposed depending on whether an area is on "medium," "high" or "very high" alert. London is an area of "high alert" meaning members of different households cannot meet in indoor spaces and restaurants, bars have a 10 p.m. curfew, and a ban on gatherings of more than six people. In France, nine cities, including Paris, have been placed under a 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew. Highlights

Posted: 19 Oct 2020 01:12 PM PDT Let me preface this by saying that I realize buying the dip is a sound investment strategy. However recently I have started to see that idea pushed on commercials for different stock brokerage firms and apps. Seems to me that if you could get a giant army of novice investors to buy into that idea, the major players could exit their positions far more profitably. As the stock market is going to inevitably rebound at least somewhat off all the people buying the dip. As the market inevitably crashes, all those investors are going to be buying stocks as the market is going down. Leaving millions of bag holders on the other end. Just a theory. Thoughts?

Verizon (VZ) awarded contract by Social Security Administration for infrastructure modernization. Posted: 19 Oct 2020 07:18 AM PDT https://www.verizon.com/about/news/social-security-administration-awards-verizon-contract
I'm long (begrudgingly) on VZ so I'm happy to see some positive news. I'm also not seeing any specifics about the contract yet so I can't tell if this will be a big contract for VZ or just a drop in the bucket. [link] [comments] |
Why shouldn't i buy Visa right now? Posted: 19 Oct 2020 09:53 AM PDT I see that with the advancement of fintech, people will have a lot more options. And that might eat in to their profits. But with the current valuation of the blue chips, Visa seems a "relative" bargain. I have some cash and i am looking to buy some at 198ish levels. Or should i hold onto my cash for now and wait for a drop off? [link] [comments] |
It's OK to sell too, you know. Posted: 19 Oct 2020 01:46 PM PDT It's actually part of the process. With the past 2 quarters (Q2 & Q3) having been filled with aggressive, risky progress, this is something I had literally forgotten. I sold a good chunk of some of my positions this morning. No, I don't think you should too, neither do I believe that a "crash" is coming. In fact my thesis tells me that there's gains left for many equities and sectors this year. But you know what, I just wanted to take home profit and reduce my current exposure. I was kinda stressed out with volatility, so I choose to mitigate risk this way. If I choose to, I can buy back a few weeks later. It's fine. We get bombarded with so much noise that it's very difficult to process that opportunities exist every day, and money can be made in any market. Especially when buying takes two clicks and rates are completely real time, I find that it pushes the worst in us from a strategic point of view. Manage information responsibly, stick to your theses, and don't forget that selling is just another tool in your arsenal. [link] [comments] |
The future is omnichannel: the case for GameStop Posted: 19 Oct 2020 01:30 PM PDT Gavin Baker, in the must read text linked above explains why the future is omnichannel. Here's a quote:
Here, I'll try to give some glances for what that means for GameStop. People will buy more games onlineIn spite I believe that physical copies of games will never go away (remember that chaos when Microsoft proposed that in 2013?), I buy that more people will buy their games online. So what? Didn't you ever entered a bookstore just to buy an e-book from Amazon? Increasingly, game stores will be showroom places. And companies will be willing to spend money just as Microsoft as a kind of marketing expense. Companies like Microsoft, Sony, Eletronic Arts, etc don't want to have brick and mortar stores at their balance sheets. In fact, it would destroy their Return on invested capital. But it doesn't mean that it can't be profitable. As a comparison, Chinese cloud providers and tech giants such as Alibaba, Tencent and Baidu rent their datacenters from a company named GDS. GDS is a high growing busines (you should take a look at this stock too). Does it mean that Alibaba is being stupid for not doing it inhouse? No. It does only mean that Alibaba has more profitable ways to invest its capital. E-commerce won't eat the world. Omnichannel will. And it will be the category leaders who will eat the market. If e-commerce only strategies were too good, Amazon largest acquisition wouldn't be Whole Foods, a supermarket. Bezos knows that a brick and mortar experience is important. Amazon is opening physical stores. Buy online, pickup in store is something that GameStop have been doing for a while. Their e-commerce is now 20% of revenue. And the management is only talking about omnichannel experiences. They know the things I am telling you. And they are doing it. Vendors know how important is to have real people at stores talking about your products. Your product at a shelf is a kind of marketing! People are seeing your products. People even trying your products! Even though they happen to buy it online. Microsoft's deal is just a glance at this future. Of course, it won't be just a revenue share that will sustain the companies. But omnichannel will. Don't forget to read the article above.

Posted: 19 Oct 2020 02:24 PM PDT I am trying to practice better fundamental analysis habits, and have started by estimating intrinsic values of stocks based off of the DCF model, basically following the exact guidelines TDAmeritrades education course suggests. After plugging in the right fundamental values, the model is suggesting that with 5 years of projected growth being considered, which I think is reasonable for a company like Microsoft, that the intrinsic value of the company is $500 a share, meaning its being undervalued by nearly 57%. I am wondering how accurate others think this might be. If it's an accurate assessment, then it seems like an absolutely amazing value investment into what's already one of the historically strongest stocks ever. Even looking at this estimate more conservatively, we're still talking about a 57% margin of safety which is a lot of wiggle room to work with. I used the same approach with AAPL and it suggests AAPL is a bit over priced, putting its intrinsic value at roughly $96. Not as extreme but still interesting to see such big differences in estimated value between two of the biggest blue chip stocks out there. Do fundamentals like this mean anything to these highly rated stocks? Should I focus more on company news and/or technicals? Should I take intrinsic value estimations with a handful of salt? Going all in on Microsoft has always been tempting for me, but now that I am actually attempting a formal 'analysis', I feel a new confidence in it. Just not sure how seriously I should take these estimations. [link] [comments] |
Open Source Data Set for Price prediction Posted: 19 Oct 2020 12:53 PM PDT Hey Guys, I am a Machine Learning student and I am currently looking for a feature rich data set.

Posted: 19 Oct 2020 01:54 PM PDT Every down day, a new headline comes out saying stimulus talks continue. It's a joke at this point.

Is Peleton a good buy right now? Posted: 19 Oct 2020 12:35 PM PDT Hey, I'm thinking about buying 4 shares of Peleton soon and I was wondering what the general consensus on it was. Is it a good buy? Is there anything that could potentially shake it up and reverse the upwards trend I'm seeing? I feel like there's just some information on it that I'm missing that some of you might already know and I want to know in case it turns out something is happening and in a month Peleton will sink like a boat with a crater in it because of it.

Airline shares jump after TSA screenings topped 1 million, a 7-month high Posted: 19 Oct 2020 09:32 AM PDT Airline stocks jumped Monday after airport screenings over the weekend rose above 1 million for the first time since mid-March, a sign more travelers are getting comfortable flying again despite the pandemic. The Transportation Security Administration screened 1.03 million people on Sunday, the most since March 16. That is still 60% lower from a year ago, when 2.6 million people passed through TSA airport checkpoints, showing airlines' pandemic-induced struggles are far from over. But the figure still represents improvement. So far this month, daily airport screenings are down 65% compared with the first 18 days of October 2019. In April, screenings were down more than 90% from a year earlier. Delta and United executives last week noted encouraging booking trends but warned investors that a full recovery to pre-pandemic levels, particularly for once-lucrative business travel, is likely years away. Both carriers posted large losses for the third-quarter. American and Southwest are scheduled to report results before the market opens on Thursday. United shares on Monday were up 6.3% in midday trading, while Delta was 1.6% higher. American and Southwest were each up about 2%. [link] [comments] |
Go ahead. Pitch your best ETF. Posted: 19 Oct 2020 10:39 AM PDT I'm coming around to the idea that an ETF will get me more of what I want versus choosing one company and hoping my surface level DD and gut feeling beats a team of finance wizards from Hogwarts. I'm liking green energy, fintech, and/or EV - so I'm on the fence about QCLN, ARKW, and DRIV. Plus, I just read about TQQQ and it looks like a good secondary ETF to grab. Thoughts?

Investing In Clean Energy Index Funds Posted: 18 Oct 2020 05:16 PM PDT I made a small little post over here a few days ago, this will be more in-depth. I hope this post helps people who are interested in Clean Energy Index Funds. I know there are specific ETFs such as TAN and FAN, but for this post, I will only focus on the main Index Funds. One note to address before we go in is that these funds are non-diversified: when you invest in these funds, you are SOLELY investing in Clean Energy. Do not confuse this with global diversification, these funds are very focused investments ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The ETFs iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (ICLN) - This one seems to be the most popular. It has the lowest ER out of the three standing at 0.46% and it's globally diversified. ICLN contains about 30 holdings, the top 10 holdings account for about 55%. This fund is 40% American and 60% Global. The top 3 countries as of now are the US, China, and New Zealand. Basic preliminary knowledge of each country's economic/political situation can be helpful. This fund contains a ton of CORE Renewable Stock (Biofuels, Ethanol, Geothermal, Hydroelectric, Solar, Wind) but it's devoid of Tech Built On Renewables such as EVs — which seem to be the talk of the town nowadays. This fund follows the S&P Global Clean Energy Index and it's Market-Cap Weighted. Overall, this fund focuses on the CORE components of renewable energy. First Trust NASDAQ Clean Edge Green ETF (QCLN) - This one is similar to ICLN. This globally diversified fund has the second-lowest ER out of the three standing at 0.60%. If you are interested in American Renewable concentration, this may be a contender for you as QCLN is 80% US weight. The top 3 countries as of now are the US, China, and Canada. This fund follows the NASDAQ Clean Edge Green Energy Index which holds 44 stocks, of which their top 10 accounts for 54% of the whole fund. This fund is very similar to ICLN though containing a few differences. ICLN focuses on Core Renewable Energy whereas QCLN focuses on Core Renewable Energy + Tech Built On Renewables. Tech Built On Renewables would consist of technologies such as EVs and Light-Emitting Diodes, supported by companies like TSLA, NIO, and OLED. ALPS Clean Energy ETF (ACES) - This one is a little different. ACES has the highest ER out of the three standing at 0.65%. This fund is NOT globally diversified, with its only focus on Canada (20%) and the US (80%). This fund follows a unique index known as the NACEX Index (which focuses on US/Canadian Clean Energy) and it is Market-Cap Weighted. The top 10 holdings account for about 50%. This ETF is very similar to QLCN (Core Renewable Energy + Tech Built On Renewables) minus the Global Diversification. Ultimately, this fund is a North American focused Renewable Energy Index Fund. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Fact Sheets What I provided is very brief. If you're serious about clean energy, I highly recommend you read each Index Funds fact sheet along with the prospectuses. This will educate you on the field more and provide more crucial data for each fund. ACES - https://www.alpsfunds.com/api/resources/77117043443a4093f7a3b3a4fce8989f.pdf ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The main difference between each of these funds really comes down to the underlying holdings, sector allocations, and global diversification. Analyze your Risk Tolerance and Circle Of Competence in terms of holding/sector/globality for each fund before making a decision. Disclaimer: I am NOT a financial expert. You MUST do your own diligence -- this is ONLY for educational purposes. Also sorry for leaving Invesco WilderHill Clean Energy ETF (PBW) out. If anyone wants to comment some information on that Index Fund down below, feel free. - Naitor295 [link] [comments] |
Stock Watchlist / Idea Mon Oct 19, 2020 Posted: 19 Oct 2020 05:52 AM PDT Hey there, Just wanted to share my watchlist of 2 stocks that I am very confident in. Stock 1: Zoom (ZM) Zoom has been going crazy. No reason to stop now. I performed tests and screens with my algo on this stock in the pasts and the results were pretty good. Zoom also has very strong fundamentals with COVID going on. Price Entry: 559 Price Target: 584 Hold Time: 1 Week Stock 2: Morgan Stanley (MS) Morgan Stanley has been doing well the past few weeks. And the algo and screens say that uptrend is not going to reverse. Morgan Stanley and their one-off hedge funds have made crazy returns this year. I would hope that will correlate with the stock price. Price Entry: 51.85 Price Target: 53 Hold Time: 2 weeks - 1 month Please let me know if you have any questions. Or if you would like more ideas from my algo. All you have to do is ask, I can post more ideas tomorrow. [link] [comments] |
Selling stocks for student loans? Or regret. Fomo? Posted: 19 Oct 2020 08:36 AM PDT Right now I am only holding 3 stocks.. Apple, Tesla, and Nio with a total value of around 11k. I wasn't planning on touching these at all. No adding or subtracting because that's all the money I'm willing to "play with". I know this isn't much money, but I've been contemplating selling all but my gamble (nio), to put a dent in my student loans. I probably wouldn't be able to reinvest this money for 2-3 years. But I feel like 2-3 years.. I will regret having touched this money. I just don't know what to do. Please send advice on how to invest and be debt free. My loans total to 85k and I'm doing it all alone. My current salary is 70k, although I'm expecting at least 90k next year with my position changing to senior level. Goals are to be debt free, purchase a home, and a car. [link] [comments] |
Undervalued stock - TherapeuticsMD, Inc. Posted: 19 Oct 2020 01:34 AM PDT This is a stock I've been watching for a while and I think has a huge potential for upside. Current valuation is sitting at $1.64 with 3 strong buys, 5 buys and 1 hold. Average price target is $6.90 with many citing it as an underperform. TXMD's flagship drug ANNOVERA has seen an increase in uptake from distributors and they believe this growth will continue into the future. Q2 earnings were underwhelming but many investment firms increased their share positions such as the likes of Alliancebernstein L.P., Bank of Montreal and Charles Schwab to name a few. Investors are expecting a big play with calls on the stock to hit $2 by 20 November, showing a quick turnaround. I think this is a rocket ship ready to take off with a decent upside and a fast play.

Thoughts on TTCF as long term investment? Posted: 19 Oct 2020 01:34 PM PDT A lot of long term investors have been talking to me about Tattooed Chef and it's potential to grow. I know that it is planning to increase the amount of its products in Walmart by a large amount in the soon future (approximately by double) and that packaged food is becoming more and more popular. And a greater awareness of being healthy in this generation will draw greater attraction to this company in the future as all its food is organically sourced. The company also predicts increases in future revenue and has recently merged with Forum Merger. However, it is a very small company and has a market cap of 500M making this a riskier investment as it is a small cap stock but I personally see a bright future for this company and wanted to know your thoughts?
