    With AMD reporting earnings on Tuesday, and Intel dropping last week, how is Monday into Tuesday going to play out?

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 04:36 AM PDT

    Either AMD will follow intel and under perform or, and much more likely, AMD earnings will way over perform.

    I would think that that the losses from intel had to go somewhere and that somewhere will be AMD.

    I'm expecting $83 to $85 on Monday and then low to mid $90s on Tuesday after announcements.

    Thank you

    The Truth About Day Trading

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 12:07 PM PDT

    Key notes:

    - Trailed the Market by 5.5%

    - When adjusted for the risk they trailed the benchmark by 10.3%

    - 0.1% of day traders earn large alphas of about 38 basis points.

    - 50% of day traders stopped within 2 - 50 days (ROFL)

    - Traders that traded more often were less likely to be profitable.

    - For those that traded for at least 300 days, 97% lost money. 1.1% earned more than minimum wage. 0.5% earned more than a bank teller's salary. And the single best one only made $310 per day or $113k annually.

    You -->> "But..but...but what if I will be one of the .1%

    This is gambling. Don't get scammed on your YouTube ads for day trading.

    Exxon

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 11:23 AM PDT

    Wife and I have a large amount of $XOM that was bought years ago by her parents but in her name so will be long term taxed. Exxon obviously sucks this year and now with Biden's comments I worry it'll crash more if he wins. We plan to cash out a fair amount of it in 2021 for house down payment. Curious peoples opinion about whether I should keep the Exxon or just in case get rid of it ahead of election and move it to another big name stock that will do better in the next 7-10 months? I realize I'll have to pay short term tax on whatever we move it to. Thanks

    Target fights off Amazon in early Black Friday battle

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 12:20 PM PDT

    https://finance.yahoo.com/news/target-fights-off-amazon-in-early-black-friday-battle-110025014.html

    Target Chairman and CEO Brian Cornell told reporters on a media call Wednesday afternoon that its "Deals Day" event — held on the same days as Prime Day on Oct. 13-14 — saw sales rise more than two and a half times versus last year's event (held July 15-16). Cornell didn't share the total sales figure from the event or what product categories drove the better performance.

    To encourage safe shopping during the pandemic, Target will double the number of parking lot spots devoted to picking up online orders. Employees will be outside stores managing how shoppers enter in order to promote social distancing efforts. And the company is unleashing 1,000 handheld devices — not unlike those found at Apple stores — that allow shoppers to be checked out from anywhere inside the store.

    Extremely bullish on VR

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 11:23 AM PDT

    So I think the time has come for virtual reality. Mozilla has released a programmable social experience here https://hubs.mozilla.com/ and VRchat is becoming very popular. Facebook is about to release Horizon. Health is revolutionizing the space especially for mental issues with VR. I am specifically talking about VR and not AR.

    What are some other plays other than the obvious $U and $FB?

    Is it worth it for me to hold ARKF?

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 07:48 AM PDT

    I already have ARKK and Square stock by itself. I also own Sea by itself. The other stocks in my portfolio are unrelated to ARKF. Would it be beneficial for me to buy ARKF or would that give me too much overlap?

    How to profit off Global Warming: HVAC Market Research with Due Dilligence on 5 Air-Conditioner brands.

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 01:28 PM PDT

    If you find this interesting please follow my account for more DD.

    I'm also working on an Excel file which will provide all fundamental data about a stock, more info about that on my account. TLDR at bottom!

    Introduction

    With the change and progressing to extremer climates, global warming is coming our way. It has been shown world governments are incapable of properly taking action against this threat. Since it seems like global warming won't be stopped, we will have to start adapting to the new extreme climates. One way of ensuring a comfortable living/working space in this grim future is by making use of HVAC (Heating Ventilation & Air Conditioning). And that's what got me thinking. My family has been hell bent on NOT getting air-conditioning. But with the summer temperatures ever more frequently reaching +40c with a humidity of +70%(Hup Holland Hup) it's becoming unbearable. Sleepless nights, overheated pets, fainting, old people dying and just losing your will to live. These are all issues more people around the world are starting to face. Every place on earth is getting more extreme. Every place on earth is getting more need for Climate control. And every company is looking to profit of that! This is why my next play is in the HVAC industry.

    Finding our compatible companies.

    I only want to invest in the best companies. Living in The Netherlands I personally don't know the best brands, luckily, I've got great internet. So, after spitting through some review sites these are the 5 public companies that came out best when looking for "Best HVAC/Air-conditioning companies/brands". (Not ranked)

    1. Carrier (Day&Night, Bryant, Toshiba & 15 more)

    2. Trane (American Standard, Thermo King & 7 more).

    3. Daikin (Goodman, Amana).

    4. Lennox (Service Experts, Allies Air Enterprises).

    5. Johnson Controls (Hitachi, York)

    Understanding the HVAC market.

    Before we continue to further analyze the companies, we first need to understand the HVAC market.

    Some facts:

    1. The HVAC business has been valued at $91.30B in 2020 and is expected to reach $173B by 2024 and $367B by 2030. That's a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of +/-15%.

    2. The most popular countries for Air Conditioning (AC) per household are: Japan 91%, USA 90%, Korea 86%, Saudi Arabia 53%, China 60%.

    3. Global stock of AC is expected to grow to 5.6B by 2050, up from 1.6B in 2018. (This is 1 AC sold every second for the next 30 years).

    4. Less than a third of the global households own an AC.

    5. 8% of the 2.8B people living in the hottest parts of the world own an AC (Brazil, Indonesia, India, African countries).

    6. AC demand is increasing every year going from 97,60M in 2012, up 111M in 2018.

    As can been seen in the above statements the HVAC business is very well integrated in some large countries. But the most exciting prospects are those of the developing countries. In Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia, South Africa and India only 16%, 16%, 9%, 6% and 5% respectively of the households have AC. This is a MASSIVE market just waiting to be exploited.

    - The Indian AC market stood at $4,3B in 2017 and is expected to surpass 11B by 2023, that's a CAGR of over 17%. This rising growth is led by rising infrastructure development, growing demand for housing and the constantly rising temperatures and consumers purchasing power.

    - The Middle Eastern and African market is expected to have an CAGR of 4,9% during 2019-2024.

    - The Indonesian market is currently experiencing a 2% CAGR in AC demand over 2012 till 2018.

    - The US is expected to have a CAGR of 3.1% from 2020 to 2030.

    - Europe is expected to have a CAGR of 6% from 2019 to 2025.

    - The global HVAC market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 till 2024.

    Market share.

    This was actually really really difficult to find free sources on and I can't really make a clear picture out of it so here are the numbers:

    - 2013 North America market: Carrier 17%, Daikin 15%, Trane 10%, Johnson 9%, Lennox 6%, LG 5%.

    - 2013 Global AC market: Daikin 13%, Carrier 10%, Johnson 8%, Trane/LG 4%.

    - 2018 Indian market share: LG 17,7%, Hitachi 7,9%, Daikin 7,4%.

    - HVAC Used by construction firms in USA: Carrier 29%, Lennox 17,3%, Daikin 8,2%, Trane7,3%, LG 1,8% Johnson 1,8%.

    - 2020 global "Wall-Mounted Fan Coil Units" market: Daikin 29%, Trane 26%, Carrier 12%, Johnson 7,5%

    My conclusion from this and other information found online is that globally Daikin is the biggest followed by Carrier, Johnson, Trane, LG and Lennox. I accounted for all known acquisitions since 2013 in the market share.

    Trane 9% 9% 9% 6%
    Johnson 7% 5% 4% 4%
    Lennox 8% 9% 11% 9%

    Conclusion

    First of all, I should start with saying that Lennox really shouldn't have been included, they are on a completely different level than these 4 other companies. Also, Johnson had some fuckery going on in all their 10k's so these numbers might not add up, let me know if you found something.

    Looking at the company's financials and numbers it's a tough decision to make, all companies a pretty close to each other. There are however some things that stand out:

    - Carrier has a significantly higher NPM then the competitors.

    - Lennox might be in financial trouble.

    - Daikin spends the most on R&D relative to its revenue, I see this as a big plus.

    - Johnson their revenue is growing the fastest on a 5Y CAGR.

    - Johnson their P/E is much higher than the competition.

    - Johnson their Dividend is the higher % wise

    - Daikin has increased sales in 2020 while other companies have seen a drop.

    - Daikin's NPM is stable at around 8% while Carrier's NPM has grown explosively.

    - Trane has a high debt/equity ratio

    - Both Carrier and Daikin have a very strong Interest coverage ratio.

    - Johnson's TTM would be better without an irregular expense of 602M

    Now on to the less financial aspect of the data.

    I really like the way Daikin presents their annual report, they have clear strategies on how to better engage the Indian market. They are also showing that they know where their market growth protentional lays and are willing to act on it. Furthermore, what really strikes me as interesting is that Daikin produces materials for semiconductor testing, this might be a goldmine in the upcoming tech revolution and Daikin has shown to be well aware of this upcoming trend. Carrier on the other hand has not properly breached the Asian/Middle eastern market yet, they have stated to expand their geographical presence but I have found no conclusive strategies in how to do so. What is impressive about carrier is their high net profit margin and willingness to act on a more digital environment, an area where Daikin is currently lacking.

    To conclude this research properly, if I had to choose a company right now, I'd being going for Daikin. Their well-presented data and goals for emerging markets, combined with their semiconductor products make me believe they are most suited for rapid growth. Their geographical location also puts them in a better position for Asian dominance. And their Goodman sub brand is well known in America and a direct competitor to Carrier. Carrier is a close second, with impressive brand recognition and attractive financials. One thing carrier does well that Daikin does not is transport refrigeration. In my opinion trucking is going to play a much larger role when self-driving trucks start to appear.

    Next extra energy stock split

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 10:35 AM PDT

    Prob a dumb question but I'm confused about NEE splitting this week. They say you only receive additional shares if you buy by October 19th but what happens if you bought this past Friday? Do you not get additional shares and your one stock gets reduced 4 ways?

    NIO - A buy right now or wait and watch?

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 12:17 PM PDT

    Amongst the EV stocks, NIO seems to have great potential amongst other. Financials wise, their EPS ($-1.97) and P/E ratio (-17.45) are not so ideal along with their Margins but it is frequently called the next TSLA . Also it helps to have Chinese govt backing like they do.

    I have currently 15% of my portfolio in QCLN which has NIO as one of its top holdings. The main question is that is it a good time to jump into NIO at this very moment or wait for a dip to a certain price point? Its RSI is overbought on both daily and weekly, also elections are looming which could make it go either way. What is your take on this. Thanks

    Hey guys, this is my first time posting on r/stocks. My parents offered to give me $5000 but only if I use it to make money(like starting a business or investing). I'm only 15 years old, and I have no idea what I can or cannot do to make money with it. What would be the best way to grow what they give me with low risk?

    [Strawpoll] Are you a trader or investor, or both?

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 11:12 AM PDT

    https://www.strawpoll.me/21158532

    I'm just interested in the type of investor or trader that usually comes here, and thus what type of discussion we can expect. I think there are strong implications to being either a trader or investor and there should be a disclaimer up-front.

    From Investopedia:

    Investing takes a long-term approach to the markets and often applies to such purposes as retirement accounts.

    Trading involves short-term strategies to maximize returns daily, monthly, or quarterly.

    Investors are more likely to ride out short-term losses, while traders will attempt to make transactions that can help them profit quickly from fluctuating markets.

    Lockdowns damage vision and dampen corrective vision sales

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 06:49 AM PDT

    Are there big corrective vision corporations? I couldn't find them.

    Being indoors and doing "close work", watching tv or computers leads to myopia.

    I assume glasses, contacts and eye surgery sales will be rough until a vaccine is created. a medium term bottom is likely, for me to get in on eventually and ride back up when people realize their vision for worse and they care again.

    Edit: maybe sales of non/minimally corrective glasses are selling now as eye protection which may increase before the vaccine

    Can I buy only a portion of my call options contracts?

    If I buy say 5 call option contracts of XYZ, when I exercise my right to buy, am I forced to buy all 5 of the contracts? Could I chose to buy only 1 or 2 of the contracts and allow the other 3 or 4 to expire?

    Sorry if this is a basic question but I'm new to option trading.

    Question for my TQQQ crew. Have you heard any update on the SEC proposal to require due diligence on individual investors wanting to purchase leveraged ETFs? I know the comment period closed this spring and the proposal has not been voted on yet, just wondering if anyone knows when the vote will be.

    I have nothing going on this Saturday night and would love to go over some stocks you guys may own from a technical standpoint. The only rule I ask is that the stock is more than $10. This may help me also find some new stocks that I am not aware of.

    Is webull worth it?

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 01:47 PM PDT

    It's a trading app and most of it's reviews are okay but you can easily get scammed. I wanna invest long term, but it seems too good to be true as it even gives out free 1000$ stocks when you enter. It seems shady

    TMO to $2,000 by end of decade?

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 07:42 AM PDT

    TMO is one of my favorite stocks and is up 65% this year. Expected earnings growth for the stock is 13-15% for the next 5 years, suggesting a possible doubling of the price by 2026. Right now it is almost half the market cap of Nvidia with a PE of 40. Assuming a constant PE and an average price increase of 12%, I don't see why $2,000 is impossible by 2030. Anyone agree?

    How to profit off Global Warming: HVAC Market Research with Due Dilligence on 5 Air-Conditioner brands.

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 01:24 PM PDT

    If you find this interesting please follow my account for more DD.

    I'm also working on an Excel file which will provide all fundamental data about a stock, more info about that on my account. TLDR at bottom!

    Introduction

    With the change and progressing to extremer climates, global warming is coming our way. It has been shown world governments are incapable of properly taking action against this threat. Since it seems like global warming won't be stopped, we will have to start adapting to the new extreme climates. One way of ensuring a comfortable living/working space in this grim future is by making use of HVAC (Heating Ventilation & Air Conditioning). And that's what got me thinking. My family has been hell bent on NOT getting air-conditioning. But with the summer temperatures ever more frequently reaching +40c with a humidity of +70%(Hup Holland Hup) it's becoming unbearable. Sleepless nights, overheated pets, fainting, old people dying and just losing your will to live. These are all issues more people around the world are starting to face. Every place on earth is getting more extreme. Every place on earth is getting more need for Climate control. And every company is looking to profit of that! This is why my next play is in the HVAC industry.

    Finding our compatible companies.

    I only want to invest in the best companies. Living in The Netherlands I personally don't know the best brands, luckily, I've got great internet. So, after spitting through some review sites these are the 5 public companies that came out best when looking for "Best HVAC/Air-conditioning companies/brands". (Not ranked)

    1. Carrier (Day&Night, Bryant, Toshiba & 15 more)

    2. Trane (American Standard, Thermo King & 7 more).

    3. Daikin (Goodman, Amana).

    4. Lennox (Service Experts, Allies Air Enterprises).

    5. Johnson Controls (Hitachi, York)

    Understanding the HVAC market.

    Before we continue to further analyze the companies, we first need to understand the HVAC market.

    Some facts:

    1. The HVAC business has been valued at $91.30B in 2020 and is expected to reach $173B by 2024 and $367B by 2030. That's a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of +/-15%.

    2. The most popular countries for Air Conditioning (AC) per household are: Japan 91%, USA 90%, Korea 86%, Saudi Arabia 53%, China 60%.

    3. Global stock of AC is expected to grow to 5.6B by 2050, up from 1.6B in 2018. (This is 1 AC sold every second for the next 30 years).

    4. Less than a third of the global households own an AC.

    5. 8% of the 2.8B people living in the hottest parts of the world own an AC (Brazil, Indonesia, India, African countries).

    6. AC demand is increasing every year going from 97,60M in 2012, up 111M in 2018.

    As can been seen in the above statements the HVAC business is very well integrated in some large countries. But the most exciting prospects are those of the developing countries. In Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia, South Africa and India only 16%, 16%, 9%, 6% and 5% respectively of the households have AC. This is a MASSIVE market just waiting to be exploited.

    - The Indian AC market stood at $4,3B in 2017 and is expected to surpass 11B by 2023, that's a CAGR of over 17%. This rising growth is led by rising infrastructure development, growing demand for housing and the constantly rising temperatures and consumers purchasing power.

    - The Middle Eastern and African market is expected to have an CAGR of 4,9% during 2019-2024.

    - The Indonesian market is currently experiencing a 2% CAGR in AC demand over 2012 till 2018.

    - The US is expected to have a CAGR of 3.1% from 2020 to 2030.

    - Europe is expected to have a CAGR of 6% from 2019 to 2025.

    - The global HVAC market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 till 2024.

    Market share.

    This was actually really really difficult to find free sources on and I can't really make a clear picture out of it so here are the numbers:

    - 2013 North America market: Carrier 17%, Daikin 15%, Trane 10%, Johnson 9%, Lennox 6%, LG 5%.

    - 2013 Global AC market: Daikin 13%, Carrier 10%, Johnson 8%, Trane/LG 4%.

    - 2018 Indian market share: LG 17,7%, Hitachi 7,9%, Daikin 7,4%.

    - HVAC Used by construction firms in USA: Carrier 29%, Lennox 17,3%, Daikin 8,2%, Trane7,3%, LG 1,8% Johnson 1,8%.

    - 2020 global "Wall-Mounted Fan Coil Units" market: Daikin 29%, Trane 26%, Carrier 12%, Johnson 7,5%

    My conclusion from this and other information found online is that globally Daikin is the biggest followed by Carrier, Johnson, Trane, LG and Lennox. I accounted for all known acquisitions since 2013 in the market share.

    Johnson 7% 5% 4% 4%
    Lennox 8% 9% 11% 9%

    Conclusion

    First of all, I should start with saying that Lennox really shouldn't have been included, they are on a completely different level than these 4 other companies. Also, Johnson had some fuckery going on in all their 10k's so these numbers might not add up, let me know if you found something.

    Looking at the company's financials and numbers it's a tough decision to make, all companies a pretty close to each other. There are however some things that stand out:

    - Carrier has a significantly higher NPM then the competitors.

    - Lennox might be in financial trouble.

    - Daikin spends the most on R&D relative to its revenue, I see this as a big plus.

    - Johnson their revenue is growing the fastest on a 5Y CAGR.

    - Johnson their P/E is much higher than the competition.

    - Johnson their Dividend is the higher % wise

    - Daikin has increased sales in 2020 while other companies have seen a drop.

    - Daikin's NPM is stable at around 8% while Carrier's NPM has grown explosively.

    - Trane has a high debt/equity ratio

    - Both Carrier and Daikin have a very strong Interest coverage ratio.

    - Johnson's TTM would be better without an irregular expense of 602M

    Now on to the less financial aspect of the data.

    I really like the way Daikin presents their annual report, they have clear strategies on how to better engage the Indian market. They are also showing that they know where their market growth protentional lays and are willing to act on it. Furthermore, what really strikes me as interesting is that Daikin produces materials for semiconductor testing, this might be a goldmine in the upcoming tech revolution and Daikin has shown to be well aware of this upcoming trend. Carrier on the other hand has not properly breached the Asian/Middle eastern market yet, they have stated to expand their geographical presence but I have found no conclusive strategies in how to do so. What is impressive about carrier is their high net profit margin and willingness to act on a more digital environment, an area where Daikin is currently lacking.

    To conclude this research properly, if I had to choose a company right now, I'd being going for Daikin. Their well-presented data and goals for emerging markets, combined with their semiconductor products make me believe they are most suited for rapid growth. Their geographical location also puts them in a better position for Asian dominance. And their Goodman sub brand is well known in America and a direct competitor to Carrier. Carrier is a close second, with impressive brand recognition and attractive financials. One thing carrier does well that Daikin does not is transport refrigeration. In my opinion trucking is going to play a much larger role when self-driving trucks start to appear.

    When would you use market capitalisation?

    Posted: 25 Oct 2020 12:34 PM PDT

    I'm new to investing and am trying to get a deeper understanding of all the metrics and ratios used to determine stock values.

    As I understand market capitalisation is the outstanding shares X the current share price, but what exactly does this tell you? Am I right in thinks It's not more than just the market's valuation of the company?

    Why would you need to look at this when considering a buy or not?
