    Stock Market - Why are people so high on palantir


    Why are people so high on palantir

    Posted: 03 Jan 2021 09:47 AM PST

    I don't get what the hype about palantir is. I feel like people always have the same feelings when a new tech stock comes out thinking it's the next apple. Can some explain all the hype?

    Lessons from 2020

    Posted: 03 Jan 2021 01:26 PM PST

    Hi All,

    I debated if I should make this post but I thought it might help one or two new kids who are new to investing. If you think it's useless down vote it and I will delete it.

    At the beginning of 2020 I was just like most of you was not a member of WSBs and invested on my own accord. All that changed in February. I opened an active trading account for fun. I joined reddit and figured I should get involved with the community so that we make money together. Here are the lessons that I think would help some of newer guys than me. Also here is my performance in my speculative account which was opened in March 2020. 828% cumulative return.

    https://preview.redd.it/tglxuc9hn6961.png?width=890&format=png&auto=webp&s=d8e660dd59a5118b5cd8c1046bce9dc3f2094e20

    Lesson 1: Consistency Matters

    My goal with this speculative account was to try different strategies but get consistent returns nonetheless. I aimed to not have any down months. This helps alleviate the mental anguish caused by roller-coaster-type portfolios. As my mama told me 5 years ago, you are playing with hard-earned-money. This is why I stayed away from YOLOing the whole account on few select plays. I aimed to have many different bets going on at the same time.

    Lesson 2: Helping others is harder than earning money.

    My dad opened a speculation account at the same in March. I decided that I would help him have a similar performance as mine. I kept on feeding him info about my trades. What did he do? Most of the times he thought I was retarded and called the local hospital for me. When Boeing dropped to $93, I was on the phone telling him this is free money. I told him to by $30k but he just bought $10k. I was buying American Airlines on the same day. This story repeated many times over the last 9 month. I think at the end he managed to scratch of ~250%. Now I have him on a conservative buy and hold strategy since he is not cut out to actively trade. And by actively I mean 4 trades a week for him.

    Lesson 3: Having a good broker is important

    If you haven't deleted Robinhood and gotten your self a proper broker after you hearing or experiencing bugs, crashes, service outages, your data being sold, .... then I don't know if I can convince you. Other brokers will give you access to ADRs and allow you invest in some bigger European companies that are trading OTC here.

    Lesson 4: Don't argue with people; instead discuss ideas.

    If you notice someone is arguing instead of discussing ideas with you then just ignore them. For every seller of a stock there is a buyer. There is no point in personally attacking people. If you believe strongly that they are wrong, then just inverse their trade. Respect and thank them for sharing their trades with you, even if you disagree with them.

    Lesson 5: Media is a hype machine

    CNBC, Bloomberg, ... are all in the business of creating excitement and increasing their viewership. They are not there to enhance your returns. What gets people's attention is usually not a good investment.

    Lesson 6: Reddit slaps you harder than a twisted tea

    I used to share ALL my DDs here. Sharing is caring, right? apparently not. There was no shortage of personal attacks, being banned, DDs being deleted, ... My Karma even dropped to -1k in March. I am permanently banned from r/ investing, economics, .... I got temporary banned here, and two other investing subs. So I post less DDs now, and don't try to stop people from jumping from rooftops.

    Lesson 7: Most popular posts/users should not be blindly mimicked

    Most people including me already know this, but I keep seeing it here. I figured I should mention it since I have your attention. When you see a trade that is getting a lot of attention ask yourself: does this fit my strategy? If not then don't do it. What is strategy you ask? oh boy

    Lesson 8: Don't let survivor bias fool you

    Everyday people on WSB are throwing millions of dollars on thousands of small bets. The odds are some of them are gonna pay of. So when you see some guy posting Gain-porn of 1k turning to 100k overnight. Remember that over night thousands of other people with similar bets lost it all. So don't just follow people blindly. Some of the most respected guys here are essentially doing the same thing by YOLOing all their money on one bet that unfolds over several month. These guys last longer but essentially are playing few bets game. When you roll the dice 5 times the odds of you getting 5 in a row is a lot. There is a reason we don't hear from YungBillionaire anymore. Please don't Yolo your whole account on GME, Palantir, and such.

    Lesson 9: Reddit is skews the information you see

    Not all the best ideas are popular and not all the popular ideas are good. lol

    Lesson 10: When the tide goes out you realize who was swimming naked.

    Popularized by WB, he wasn't the one who came up with it. When a correction happens, and I guarantee you there will be a correction, then you realize who was blindly chasing alpha without any risk management. The correction may not come for a few years but there always is a correction, pullback for some random reason. So manage your risk. Guh

    Lesson 11: unless you have insider info do not buy weekly or even monthly options.

    LEAPs are risky as well but can be managed. Most people here should not take the weekly or monthly option risk. You need years of experience before doing so.

    Lesson 12: Paper accounts don't count.

    You need real money to be at risk so that you care and go through the emotions. I never had a paper account and if you are using one, in my opinion you are wasting your time.

    Lesson 13: No one has a magic sauce.

    Those who pretend to do are delusional. There is no such thing as "always do this and you will win". Market changes and strategies that work now will not work in 2 month. If a guru says buy x, y and z and you will make money, that's total BS.

    Lesson 14: If you get money help yourself and your family

    You have the option Yoloing your money on weeklys, buy coke, or elevating your life. Money truly brings happiness. Only people who don't have it think that it does not; and site a bs study. Use your money to help your family at key points in their lives. Help with their Mortgage down payment, buy a car for the ones who really need them,... Use your money to work less and work out more. Yolo in real life, not on options.

    Lesson 15: If you don't invest with conviction, you won't get the results that matter

    You have to know why you are buying some stock and why you would sell it. A lot of winning trades will go against you before they go green. To hold those positions when deep in the red, you gotta have conviction in your thesis.

    I am not going to edit this post because it will mess up it's format. I am going to put a comment below with updates/corrections. Also do NOT message me personally. I don't have a magic sauce.

    Should I sell my Disney stock? (Bought $94, it's at $181)

    Posted: 03 Jan 2021 10:39 AM PST

    I started to dabble in stock right when covid hit to take advantage of the low cost of entry for many stocks. Of a $1000 investment, I've slowly doubled it over the year I've been sitting on a handful of stocks. My most notable one was Disney, buying 6 shares at around 94 and now it's $181. Should I be holding onto this for even longer term, or should I sell?

    Not really sure what else I should be doing. Should I be "selling high" as they say, or just hold onto it for life and cash out when I need to?

    Check out my financial data website! It's in its first iteration currently, but there is an example on the homepage and a link to some documentation.

    The site provides access to ongoing lawsuits, some news, companies that are know to be fraudulent and a direct feed of all releases from the SEC.

    IUSG Down 36% in After Hours Trading???

    Posted: 03 Jan 2021 06:33 PM PST

    Does anyone have any idea why the IUSG fund dropped 36% in after hours? This is a relatively boring growth fund from the iShares group that holds Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, etc which are all holding fine in after hours. Similar funds are holding fine in after hours as well. I'm really hoping this is an error in reporting after hours because I'm about to get hammered in the morning.

    Anybody know anything about this?

    Why is an overpriced stock market a negative thing?

    Posted: 03 Jan 2021 11:13 AM PST

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but a company can benefit from its stock price by raising capital. I don't see how this can be wrong for the company and for the overall economy. If all companies are overpriced, why can't they just raise capital and use all that money to improve faster than they could if their stock price wasn't that high and if they couldn't raise capital? Tesla benefited a lot by their stock price for example, and their raised capital various times.

    I didn't take any finance course because I'm studying economics, perhaps this question might sound dumb but I can't find an explanation.

    Sorting Stock Trends

    Posted: 03 Jan 2021 07:47 AM PST

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a site or app that will sort stock trends: most gain over a given period, longest gain, etc. I've seen various lists but I don't think I've come across a decent search tool to sort stock gain trends.

    What are some tickers that were hyped up and popular but didn't deliver?

    Posted: 03 Jan 2021 11:16 AM PST

    I'm a new investor, I see everyone going hardcore on stocks like Palantir based on future growth. I'm guessing some seasoned investors and some gamblers have seen highly recommended stocks never deliver. What are some of these meme stocks gone darkside on investors in previous years?

    Google Authenticate for TD Ameritrade?

    Posted: 03 Jan 2021 01:05 PM PST

    Hi everyone!

    I was wondering if there's a google Authenticate option when logging into Ameritrade or does anyone know if it's in the works? I notice there's a Ameritrade 2 factor app but I don't know if that real.

    I've had my SIM card in my phone cloned and had a lot of stuff stolen from me in the past with other apps so I also wouldn't do a 2 factor with text message but would like a token.

    Thanks!

    What do you use? Brokerages, portfolio trackers, and research

    Posted: 03 Jan 2021 01:30 AM PST

    Just curious what everyone uses. I'm always looking for something better, I personally haven't found a reason to purchase any apps, and i do most of my stuff from my phone.

    My Favorite brokerage is Fidelity, Robinhood, and MooMoo, I also enjoy Public but its not special. (ive tried a ton cause ive gotten all the free stocks lol)

    For Tracking my holdings i use "My stocks portfolio and widget" ive tried quite a few, but since i use multiple brokerage accounts i eventually have to manually input data, this one I've found is the easiest to input transactions, gives me all info i want from a tracker, and has the CSV exporter and importer. Also can track EVERYTHING, crypto, forex, rare metals, w.e. and free, ads arent intrusive, has a paid version im gonna get eventually but I dont think paying even gives yiu much more features.

    Research i dno, I'd love some tips on apps for researching stocks. I've used the stock screener on like webull which is neat, but ill be off webull soon since they want you to pay for real time stock quotes.

    I'm also a pretty new investor but i spend all my free time learning about it.

    I enjoyed personal capital but you can't manually enter transactions, and the linked brokergaes didnt work right, my robinhood account was way off.

    PRE-MARKET AND POST-MARKED TRADING ADVANTAGE

    Posted: 03 Jan 2021 06:21 AM PST

    I have been in the market for a number of years and have done well making up to 70% on some stocks in a week on some stocks but i just know I could make a lot more if I had access to pre and post market trading

    The only reason I have not looked into getting it is I am a buy and hold invester so it generally doesn't affect me but i am left gutted when on a Sunday night I just know a certain stock is going to fly up Monday and buy the time the market opens its too late as the stocks opens 25% up

    I know I am not on my own it feels like when the bigger boys push in front of you in the dinner queue back when you were at school and the is nothing you can do

    Am I missing something can I just pay $12.99 pcm on fidelity or somewhere and get access or do you have to be part of the Illuminati as this isn't for the common Folk

    Can you actually beat the market?

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 11:06 PM PST

    Hello investors,

    Cheers to a new year! Let us all have a meaningful and progressive year.

    Part II Link

    https://www.reddit.com/r/Midasinvestors/comments/k5rpaj/investing_philosophy_part_ii_12022020/

    Part I Link (recommended to read beforehand)

    https://www.reddit.com/r/Midasinvestors/comments/ju7zbi/investing_philosophy_plz_read_this/

    I think the topic for today's discussion is probably the single most important one for all of us, as the answer to the question would determine whether we should even trade in the markets at all.

    Why would we ever trade individual stocks, commodities, or other assets if we can't actually "beat the market"? The market meaning the S&P 500 index or the Dow for those based in the US.

    I know this will likely spark lots of criticism and intense discussions. I know a person who publishes investor letters has even gotten a death threat for saying something in his newsletter, also the reason why I'm staying private and anonymous.

    Therefore, let me preface it with a few points first.

    - This is solely my personal opinion.

    - Your opinion is just as good as mine.

    - Full disclosure, I haven't worked as a portfolio manager at an institution so I certainly lack lots of experience in managing money compared to those who make a living out of managing pension or endowment money.

    - It's completely fine if you disagree. My goal is not to convince you but to help provide resources for people. The more you know the better.

    - I believe that an "average person" would be far better off investing in the market index, just as Warren Buffett said.

    - I agree with the academics, investors, and communities that most people shouldn't try to beat the market as most simply don't have enough time to analyze and monitor companies or have the discipline to stay invested in their ideas.

    - Investing is a game of probability, just like poker. This fund is "more likely" to beat the market means the fund has a high chance of beating the market, not "will" beat the market.

    If you have a pair of aces in a poker game, you wouldn't necessarily win the pot but you have a "high probability" of winning the pot.

    People say poker is a game of luck but there are professional poker players who win over a period of time. I believe the same is true in investing. Not necessarily "professionals" but any investor can beat the market with the right amount of discipline and research.

    - Timing the bottom or top is impossible. But it is possible to guess the top or bottom with a probability. For instance, at the end of 2019, was it more likely that we were near the top of the market cycle or bottom? The answer is obvious.

    Now with all that said, I'll say the unpopular opinion.

    Yes, we can "beat the market".

    More specifically, I believe it is possible to beat the S&P 500 net of fees even over a long period of time, say 20-30 years, for those with less than $50 million in the portfolio.

    Here are my arguments for today's topic.

    1) It is possible to beat the market with a small portfolio as an individual investor.

    2) While it is possible to beat the market as an individual investor, two traits are essential for an investor to win. They are discipline and conviction.

    3) Security analysis doesn't require a rocket scientist. For instance, it's not hard to know e-commerce, EV, and cleantech will be the future.

    1) It is possible to beat the market with a small portfolio as an individual investor.

    But beating the market isn't enough. You have to consistently beat it, for 5 years, 10 years, and 30 years.

    I'm sure most of you know that a 1% difference in the 30-year annual return can make a huge difference at the end of the 30-year period due to compounding.

    What most probably don't know is the distribution of those returns from a portfolio point of view.

    If you make an annual rate of 15% return over the course of 30 years, that doesn't mean you need to make 15% of return every single year in practical terms.

    What's happening is that over the course of 30 years, you will make 200% returns, 100% returns 60% returns in the early part of the 30 years, and then slowly decline to 5% annual returns, which altogether make 15% annual return over the course of 30 years.

    Theoretically, any investor's portfolio will look something along the lines of this over a time period.

    (images are not allowed here. Please go to the original post to see the graph.)

    https://www.reddit.com/r/Midasinvestors/comments/kpfx3h/investing_philosophy_part_iii_can_you_actually/

    📷

    The total compounded annual return is 15%, not the actual annual returns.

    This makes sense because, with a $50k portfolio, you will obviously be more concentrated in positions compared to a $50MM portfolio. Therefore, you are taking more "risk" in a smaller portfolio.

    Similarly, Berkshire Hathaway, the conglomerate run by Warren Buffett, has posted annual returns that look somewhat similar.

    📷

    If you noticed, the standard deviations are much larger in the earlier part of the years compared to the latter part of the years when the portfolio simply got too big to take that much risk.

    In fact, the standard deviation of the returns for the first 20 years is 42% compared to 16% in the last 20 years.

    Where I'm getting at is it is much easier to beat the market by a wide margin with a small-sized portfolio than a large portfolio and therefore, retail investors have a good chance of beating the market, given an appropriate knowledge and discipline.

    It may be common-sense but to reiterate, it is much easier to double a portfolio of $500k than to double a $50 million.

    You may think the reason is that you're taking larger risks on smaller portfolios than larger portfolios.

    It is true that risks are larger. However, it also depends on how you define "risk".

    Standard deviations are obviously larger in a smaller portfolio since your absolute size is smaller and therefore, you can't diversify as much.

    But standard deviations aren't truly the "risk" of a company going under. The true risk of a company going bankrupt is the liquidity, cash flow, and business profile. Even with a concentrated portfolio, I believe it's possible to get large returns with limited "risks" as retail investors.

    Now, to reduce those idiosyncratic "risks" of businesses, we need to apply our "knowledge" and "discipline".

    Which brings to my second argument.

    2) While it is possible to beat the market as an individual investor, two traits are essential for an investor to win. They are discipline and conviction.

    Most people will sell at lows and buy at highs. We sell at lows because once a stock goes down, our cognitive bias kicks in, called the loss aversion bias. We put more weight on losing $100 than gaining $100 and thus, losing money has more impact on us than gaining money.

    This is due to evolutionary psychology and there's a good reason why we were evolved this way but that's a topic of conversation for another day.

    We also buy at highs because we tend to follow the herd, getting into the hype of trends and manias. Fear of missing out (FOMO) is a strong incentive for people to get in on the EV hype.

    People at cocktail parties will brag about their 4x returns on bitcoin or Tesla, which will prompt you to buy them the next day.

    Buying at highs and selling at lows are due to a lack of discipline, as the famous investors put it.

    This is also the reason why professionals say "invest in what you know". If you invest in what you don't know, then you will be tempted to sell when stocks go down because you don't know the company and don't have such a high conviction that it will recover.

    As an analogy, I have seen many people make new year's resolutions as losing weight or saving more money to buy a house.

    Why is it so hard to do both?

    In fact, all of us actually know how to lose weight: eat less and exercise more. Burn more calories than you consume. It's as simple as that.

    We also know how to increase the balance on our bank account. Spend less than what you earn, or increase your earnings through side-gigs.

    It doesn't take a genius to figure out the solutions to these problems. I believe the same is true for the markets. People generally know which companies will be better off in ten years (Disney, Amazon, JP Morgan, etc.).

    So why do people lack the discipline to stick to their plans?

    Again, there's a good evolutionary reason which I won't get into in this post.

    If Amazon fell 30% today and stayed there fore the next month or two while other EV companies rose 50% in the same time period, most people would be tempted to sell their Amazon and buy those EV companies, hence the "sell low buy high" phenomenon.

    Take this analysis shown on WSJ.

    The returns of a hypothetical investor who put $10,000 into an S&P 500 index fund at the start of 1980 and missed the market's five best days through the end of August 2020 would be 38 percentage points lower than those of someone who stayed invested the whole period, according to a Fidelity Investments Inc. analysis.

    This is the significance of self-discipline, the ability to weather through the tough times, or carefully ride the trends.

    To gain self-discipline, we need a high conviction. To have a high conviction, we need to do enough research and have a sufficient understanding of the assets we are buying.

    As long as we understand that this company will thrive with a high probability, we will more likely to hold onto those positions even in a recession.

    In order to beat the market as an individual investor, we need self-discipline. Self-discipline comes from a high conviction. High conviction comes from enough research and understanding of the security.

    Security Analysis leads to -> High Conviction leads to -> Self-discipline

    3) Security analysis doesn't require a rocket scientist. For instance, it's not hard to know e-commerce, EV, and cleantech will be the future.

    I'm certainly not saying analyzing individual companies is easy but as an individual investor who lacks the resources and knowledge about a company, it's still possible to know that a company is a fundamentally strong business trading at a reasonable multiple.

    For instance, Fiverr is an Israeli company that allows freelancers to offer their services on its platform. It has grown its sales at more than 40% annually with at least 75% gross margin. Would you expect this sort of company to continue growing in the next five to ten years or go bust?

    And yes it's trading at too high of a multiple, at 43x LTM P/S.

    But think of it this way. If Fiverr grows its sales at 40%, 40%, 30%, 30%, and 30% in the next five years and has a 25% net margin, it'll have $175MM in net income after five years. With a trading multiple of 70 P/E you get $13B market cap in five years, compared to $6.8B market cap right now.

    Yes, these are rosy assumptions but I don't need to convince people that a platform with freelancers will only grow in the future.

    Many also argue that you can't win in the market because there are too many big-money professionals and the person on the other side of the trade knows better than I do.

    I absolutely agree with that. But it's not a winner-takes-all game.

    There doesn't have to be a single winner. Professional trader's win doesn't mean our loss.

    You don't need those terminals and market data to predict that the stay at home stocks would have outperformed the value stocks since March.

    You don't have to be a genius to know that China will be the next big player in the world or that Chinese companies are poised to outperform maybe some other foreign competitors.

    The important aspect to remember is that the retail investors can easily come to the same conclusion as a professional analyst who has spent thousands of hours on research.

    The key differences between the professionals and us is the amount of work the professionals put in and the vast amounts of resources they have, both of which lead to higher conviction (therefore, self-discipline) and informational advantage.

    That's why people like Peter Lynch and Buffett likes to say invest in what you know.

    By only dealing with what we are familiar with (easy-to-understand companies), we don't need to use CapIQ or Bloomberg to come to a high conviction that e-commerce will only grow in the future.

    If however, we were to take a stab at a company like Exxon Mobil, we need to know how much of their production volumes are hedged, at what oil price are their rigs economical, how will commodity prices impact the stock performance (you need historical correlation data and regression for different time periods), and so on.

    Take bond futures. It's not that hard to know that as long as the Treasury is issuing more than the Fed is buying, there will be a supply overrun and yields will likely go up (of course it's not as simple as that because you need to take into account numerous other factors like inflation and real yields but I'm making a point here). But I only can monitor that from the numerous data points provided by the sell-side research.

    The more complicated analyses are where professional investors have an edge.

    To summarize today's post in one sentence, it is possible to beat the market with a small-sized portfolio given a sufficient amount of discipline.

    Please feel free to use this post as a starting off point when arguing with your friend about beating the market.

    Hope everyone has a great rest of the weekend and thanks for reading!

    I put in a short on Tesla at 700. As you all know it closed slightly higher (706 Ish) on Thursday. Should I hold it for bit or would it be wise to cut and run as soon as the market opens? Why either way?

    Anyone bullish on the USD??

    Is there anyone here that is bullish on the US dollar? I know last year with the drop in interest rates, the dollar has taken a nose dive compared to stocks, real estate, gold, crypto. But with rates being so low and a loss of economic productivity. How are new borrows entering the system? Will cash ever become king again? Does anyone here stay mostly in cash? What's your reasoning for doing this?

    Nete is it hype or is this as high as it gets?

    Net Element is a stock that runs up to like over 30$ onBitcoin hype then stays around 9$ and people talk about how much potential it might have. Others call it a scam. What do you think?

    Disconnected: Economy and Stock Marke

    Posted: 03 Jan 2021 09:36 AM PST

    I just posted this on r/investing but would love to get any advice or insight from you all!

    I have been apart of an investment fund focusing on top down macro economic research leading into industry, sector, then company specific analysis as well and worked in 2 BB banks in the past.

    In the macro analysis, there are multiple trailing and leading indicators that are supposed to help display/predict the health of the economy (housing starts, unemployment, GDP growth, Real GDP growth, GNP growth, ISM Manufacturing Index, Purchasing Managers Index, Beige book, Inflation, 2-10year T-Bill spread, etc.) These indicators can help gauge the strength or weakness of certain industries depending on how they react to the economy being in an expansion, peak, contraction, or recession.

    From there you can make the dive into specific industries and analyze their respective indicators to determine their strength or weakness with respect to the general economy for the next the year or so. And from there you can dive into specific sectors (consumer discretionary covers almost all retail stores but e-commerce is the sector within the consumer discretionary industry).

    My question for all of you is how do we now research to best pick stocks? People have been saying how the stock market isn't connected to the overall health and strength of the economy. So with the economy still recovering and trying to get back to 'normal,' what do you all use to analyze companies that have significant upside or could be oversold? I would love to hear from anybody who has their own opinion on investing and stock picking especially as it relates to macro economic analysis leading into stock picking.

    Should I sell my Peloton Stock?

    Posted: 03 Jan 2021 10:56 AM PST

    Back in September I bought some peloton stock for around $100, fast forward to now I've made a nice profit. Does anybody have any thoughts on where the stock is going to go? Up or down? I want to sell but I don't know if the price will continue to raise.

    Do you guys think stock market will crash in 2021?

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 09:45 PM PST

    I'm overall bearish for this year. I think this insane run will push on for a few more months but I believe there will be a huge crash. I feel we're in a huge bubble.

    What is everyone's thoughts? I'm curious.
