| BREAKING: U.S. fuel pipeline system shuts down after cyberattack Posted: 08 May 2021 02:49 PM PDT The infiltration of a major fuel pipeline is "the most significant, successful attack on energy infrastructure we know of." https://www.politico.com/news/2021/05/08/colonial-pipeline-cyber-attack-485984 The main fuel supply line to the U.S. East Coast has shut down indefinitely after the pipeline's operator suffered what is believed to be the largest successful cyberattack on oil infrastructure in the country's history — presenting a danger of spiking gasoline prices and a fresh challenge to President Joe Biden's pledges to secure the nation against threats. A shutdown that lasts more than a few days could send gasoline prices in the Southeastern U.S. spiking above $3 a gallon, market analysts said. That could deepen the political risks the incident poses for Biden, stealing momentum from his efforts to center the nation's energy agenda on promoting cleaner sources and confronting climate change. This could be the most serious successful attack the U.S. has faced yet. What does this mean for gas stocks? [link] [comments]  |
| Credit Suisse book ratio vs problems - SWX:CSGN Posted: 09 May 2021 01:20 AM PDT Looking at the 1Q20 report: numbers are not good but I do not see really the disaster that I read in the news like years of gain lost or structural problem of the company. It seems to me that they lost gains for max 2 quarters, 6bn assets on 800bn total. Company looks like still extremely solid to me and book ratio quite low at this price. I normally would like to buy some shares with the parameters here but I am not sure to understand properly the situation. What do you think? Position: looking at buying 10000 shares, CSGN [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 May 2021 01:01 AM PDT I have positions in a few blue chip companies like MSFT, AMZN, DIS, etc., and while I'm sure they'll be good investments for quite a long time, do you think they'll really still be good investments in 30-50 years? Even the best companies will eventually die- surely it would be better to try and sell even stocks like AMZN and AAPL at some point rather than trying to hold them all the way until retirement and betting that they won't decline before then. The problem, obviously, is trying to time the top, and if obvious signs of decline start to kick in, the market will certainly react. I'm just trying to think about how I should play these blue chips over the course of multiple decades. I plan to hold things like VTI essentially forever, but MSFT and AMZN and etc.? Although I think they're great stocks right now, what do I do in 20 years when they drop because new companies came along and started outdoing them? It's not really worth stressing about, obviously, but I like to think about these things. [link] [comments]  |
| Any good recommendations on books to learn about LVMH and Bernard Arnault? Posted: 09 May 2021 03:30 AM PDT Hi I read an article on Bernard Arnault and even though I'm a jeans and t shirt kinda guy, I was really fascinated by how he built LVMH. I didn't know he took old brands and really supercharged them. Does anyone have any recommendations on a book to read about how Arnault built LVMH? Aside from me wanting to take a look at their stock, I and curious about Arnault's M&A investing along the way to build the company. I tried to look on Amazon but couldn't find anything good. Kind of crazy given he's a top 10 richest person in the world. Thanks [link] [comments]  |
| Potential shocks to financial stability from Federal Reserve May'21 Posted: 08 May 2021 10:26 AM PDT From Federal Reserve's Financial Stability Report May '21. Here are the possible shocks in the near future. https://www.federalreserve.gov/publications/files/financial-stability-report-20210506.pdf #9 is cryptocurrencies--I wonder if they are feeling the threat to the $USD from $DOGE ($DOGE is approaching $1 USD) DeFi is definitely eating the lunches of the big banks. We are due for a correction to the longer term moving averages. But long term, the bull market is still intact. If you hold quality companies don't get shaken out. Don't have weak hands.

| UK first time investment advice Posted: 09 May 2021 03:18 AM PDT So I'm based in the UK so that may effect any advice given. For the first time in my life I actually have a decent bit of savings. I've got £1000 as an emergency fund and another £5000 as a separate savings. I want to be able to access this at any time so I'm not looking at anything where you have to lock this away for so many years. My bank natwest has these investment options, ranging from low risk, bonds etc to high risk which is mostly shares. I'm thinking about using that? I'm thinking put 1k into high risk via natwest. Put another 1k each into some mutual funds specifically SPY and VOO via a UK trading platform and the other 2k into premium bonds. I will also put a small amount into bitcoin each month and start building up another seperate savings account on a monthly basis. I want some returns but also want to diversify and be as risk averse as possible too. Does this sound like a decent split? Is natwest reputable or are they just going to invest my money in a way that benefits them and I lose out? What with the whole robin hood scandal I'm pretty sceptical of these big institutions. I'm pretty new to all this and trying to learn all I can but there's a hell of a lot to take in. Also I have no credit card debt and am making my overpayments on my mortgage (yay I actually have a mortgage and am not renting at least) Any tips some more seasoned investors can give would be greatly appreciated.

| Do individual stocks have their own 'personality'? Posted: 08 May 2021 06:56 AM PDT Hi, I've noticed that a good number of serious, professional and semi-professional intraday and swing traders focus on a couple of dozen stocks. My question is, do stocks have their own unique personalities, and if they do, what are the best ways to learn what they are? A quick comparison between stocks in the same sector or industry shows that they move differently and have individual patterns. For example, one stock may frequently experience high volume on a Wednesday, another stock may close low on a Thursday. Do they have personalities and how can these be identified, learned and mastered? Thanks, Becca [link] [comments]  |
