    Did people know the tech sector was overvalued before the tech bubble burst in 1999?

    Posted: 31 May 2021 02:00 AM PDT

    Did people know that the Nasdaq composite was massively overvalued? Could it have been prevented?

    Couldn't people have looked at "fair value" reports back in 1999 and the years leading up to the tech bubble, and possibly avoided a bubble?

    like what we have today, CFRA reports, Morningstar reports about "fair value", didn't people have this information back in the 1990's? Or just used technical analysis?

    This also is relevant today, I hear people talking about how the market is massively overvalued right now, but is it really? I own MSFT among other stocks, MSFT is fairly valued according to its CFRA reports. I have a hard time comprehending that the market is overvalued.

    Disclaimer* I know tech stocks have high PE ratios and if you did technical analysis yes some stocks are overvalued, but not to the extent that we're in a bubble. What I'm saying.

    The more I gain, the more I get greedy. How do you guys deal with stocks that kept moving up even after selling at a profit?

    Posted: 30 May 2021 11:35 AM PDT

    After a series of losses in my early trading career, I thought I'd be humbled enough to realize that any gain is a good gain, no matter the trajectory of a stock. Even after being in deep red earlier this year, and finally realizing some profits, I can't help but think about the "could haves".

    I need to realign and shift perspectives, even though I know that's the path to heavy losses, how do you guys deal with?

    Which global ETF would you use if you would park your entire money into it until you retire?

    Posted: 31 May 2021 06:37 AM PDT

    I mainly use the Vanguard FTSE All World EUR (VWCE) and wanted to hear opinions on others as well as on this one.

    Would you use something else instead?

    I use a mixture that is 25-50% this ETF, 25-50% specific ETFs (like INRG, VUSA, ISF etc.) and 10-25% on stock picks. These are meant to be for the coming 30 years though the stocks are less "set in stone" than the ETF are.

    Went against general sentiment here and purchased 20K worth of APPL

    Posted: 31 May 2021 01:02 PM PDT

    This is my first stock purchase ever. I'm 27, I've had money tied up in a house for the past several years, and have idly sat on the sidelines as certain stocks I flirted with in 2016 went up exponentially (AMD, I see u).

    I am a layman when it comes to Stocks, and ETFs, and Calls/Puts etc. I opened a Schwab account a couple of weeks back and bought 20K of APPL @ around 127.00 (I was scared it would jump, if I sat around waiting for a targeted stock price). I posted here prior to making that move, and was generally pointed towards ETFs like VTI, VT, and the like. But Idk, APPL's trendy and seems, almost criminally, underrated. I plan to @ least hold this investment for 5 years, maybe longer.

    Part of me did want to go the tranquil route of ETFs and Mutual Funds, but I do not know. Chalk up to being a desperate millennial looking for a safe alternative to Meme Stocks/Crypto, or long term speculation. Regardless, I sit comfortably positioned and as confident on APPL as I would on any ETF.

    Again, I'm a novice. Help me find da way. I do have another 10-15K or so (not my emergency fund, I promise) just sitting around in a savings account. I am tempted to double DWN if APPL dips.

    Which apps are good for investing?

    Posted: 31 May 2021 10:29 AM PDT

    Hello, I just joined this group because I want to start investing a bit of my money. I'm a complete noob when it comes to investing online & through apps so I have a few questions.

    Which apps are the good, safe, & reliable?

    What are the general charges/rates that I should expect when investing in stocks?

    What should I stay away from?

    Any other pointers would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    EDIT: As I was informed of having incorrect terminology, I don't just mean, who has the best app. I'm looking for a reliable/reputable brokerage.

    $SPCE - TheNationalNews made a mistake about $SPCE SEC form! FYI

    Posted: 31 May 2021 07:54 AM PDT

    FYI this article made a mistake. VG is NOT diluting 2.7 Billion shares.

    They said: "2,666,667" shares under warrants in their SEC filing.

    Article: https://www.thenationalnews.com/business/markets/virgin-galactic-files-prospectus-on-1bn-sale-of-securities-1.1231666

    SEC filing (see page 4): https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001706946/b417d2f4-8e7f-4f25-a32b-bad567f9f2da.pdf

    I've sent an email to the author, hopefully it's corrected soon.

    The Investor's Skills and Knowledge Must-Haves

    Posted: 31 May 2021 12:07 PM PDT

    Lately, I have been browsing the new sections of a few investing subreddits, and I came to the conclusion that a lot of us are in need of education on basic concepts that don't relate solely to stocks.

    I strongly believe that everyone that owns stocks should have at least a basic understanding of the following:

    - Statistics 101 and optional Bayesian Statistics, Correlation vs Causality and Nicolas Cage

    - Macro and Microeconomics: most importantly Behavioral Economics, Biases, Preferences, Supply and Demand, Interest rates, Money supply, Monetary Policy, Market Cycles, a bit of Game Theory, Unemployment, Inflation

    - Financial Reporting / Accounting: Financial Statements and their most important elements, a bit about the IFRS and/or US GAAP frameworks

    - Financial History: Black Friday, 2008 housing crash

    - Financial Institutions: Hedge Funds, Mutual Funds, Investment Banks, Commercial Banks

    - Psychology: The Big 5 Traits of Personality, Freud's Iceberg model and the Id, Ego and Super-Ego

    - Stock Valuation: P/E Ratio, P/B Ratio, CAGR, Margins and Ratios, ROE, ROA, Liquidity, EY, and their interpretations

    - Optional: Learn from the greats: Buffett, Munger, Lynch, Simons, Fisher, Graham

    You don't need to take any college courses for those. YouTube is your best friend for this. Fear is the product of not knowing what to expect and the respective odds. A basic understanding of these topics will most likely reduce FOMO, help you make more sound decisions, and maybe increase your returns in the long run.

    The best investment against inflation is in yourself. Happy learning!

    JPM or SQ which one is for long term?

    Posted: 31 May 2021 02:40 PM PDT

    I know somebody will say why not own both? But I just want my portfolio not to be diverse as much as possible. I only have 3 stocks right now which is TTD,NVDA and AMZN. Now, I want to get on to the bank or fintech.

    JPM is probably the most diverse bank and money center. also their dividends is one of the best on the market.

    While SQ is a mobile payment. also from what I read they get into bitcoin which you can buy and sell for their own account.

    on your opinion, which stocks do you think has more upside and gains after 5 years?

    How do you pay yourself annually through a stock portfolio?

    Posted: 31 May 2021 12:36 AM PDT

    I always understood wealthy people build a stock/ETF portfolio and withdraw money every year on which they live (expenses, spending, etc.). Is this true or is there a method one should use in order to retire and live off of investments?

    Investing in Canadian Banks

    Posted: 31 May 2021 09:05 AM PDT

    I would like to put in 10-20K into financials, and was thinking maybe equal split among these the top 5 Canadian banks?

    I have a small position in Bank of Montreal, and it has been doing quite well (about 50% up since I bought it about 8 months ago).

    The other Canadian banks have also performed quite well, and still seem attractive, and all have good dividends ranging from 3 to almost 5%.

    Vanguard Stop vs. Stop Limit

    Quick glance at VZIO

    Posted: 31 May 2021 08:33 AM PDT

    Vizio is an American company founded in Orange County California in 2002. It focuses on producing smart televisions, sound bars, and accessories.It also operates Platform+ that comprises SmartCast, a Smart TV operating system, enabling a fully integrated home entertainment solution, and data intelligence and services products through Inscape. Its SmartCast delivers content and applications through an easy-to-use interface, as well as supports streaming apps and hosts its free ad-supported video app, WatchFree, as well as VIZIO Free Channels. In addition, the company provides support for third-party voice platforms.

    Sector: Consumer Goods/Electronics

    Vizio went public 03/25/2021 at 21$ since then it ranged from $17.25-$28.80 and currently sits at $21.84.

    Market cap of $4B with 2020 sales of $2.04B and a P/E ratio of 40.

    Net revenue increased 52% year over year to $505.7 million. With a forecasted annual earnings increase of 46.9%

    Vizio has no debt compared to 5 years ago when its debt to equity ratio was 89.4%.

    Short term assets ($750.8M) exceed its short term liabilities ($523.4M).

    Gross profit increased 82% year over year to $86.7 million

    Net income declined 64% year over year to $3.3 million. (Vizio attributes this to problems with importing goods during the pandemic)

    SmartCast Active Accounts grew 57% year over year to 13.4 million

    Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) increased 76% year over year to $14.52

    Platform+ net revenue increased 120% year over year to $52.2 million

    One potential issue is Smartcast is only 3 years old and is not as well known as Roku, Amazon firestick or apple tv. People could opt for what the know rather than give smartcast a shot.

    Vizio has strong financials and is focusing more on the ad revenue generated by smartcast. I don't have much stake in Vizio but I do see potential. With some volume this stock can move.

    ELI5: I just receive a packet in the mail of an “offer to purchase for cash” by a stock I own

    Posted: 31 May 2021 10:47 AM PDT

    I own some MPC (Marathon Petroleum Corporation) and received a packet in the mail that says

    "Offer to purchase for cash by marathon petroleum corporation of up to 4,000,000,000 of its common shares at a purchase price not greater than 63 per share and not less than 56 per share"

    Stock is currently at 61.80 for reference and has had a steady incline over the past year to about its pre-covid numbers

    It mentions something about tendering shares whatever that means.

    So it seems they want to buy my stocks back? Why? Is this a good thing or a bad thing if you own said shares. Do you have to go through with it?

    Is there a place that ranks country index funds by rate of returns?

    Posted: 31 May 2021 09:27 AM PDT

    When I mean country index fund, I meant an index fund covering most if not all companies in that country. I wonder if there is a place that ranks the different country's index funds so I can see how the US stock market is holding up against let's say Japan's or Singapore's.

    More and more I see YT content creators with new channels offering half-informed stock investment analysis. I call it “brovesting.”

    Posted: 29 May 2021 04:04 PM PDT

    These channels are starting to flourish, and while I'm all for increased participation by non-professionals, YOLO'ers, and all other amateurs, I think some of them do more harm than good. It's a lot like the flood of half-assed nutritional and fitness guys offering broscience on YT. These financial bros I'm not sure are a great help to educating folks new to this movement.

    Methods of finding stocks with potential, for amateurs?

    Posted: 30 May 2021 04:45 PM PDT

    Title sums it up.

    I'm an amateur (started investing in December), majority of my investments are in the red but I am profiting from my initial investment, however I am at a loss if you look at reinvesting.

    I've tried doing my own DD for one stock, but it didn't work out well (-25% as of now), and I don't really know where I went wrong.

    I've heard that you should follow smart money, but where can I find what 'smart money' is buying into, before it is too late?

    I've learnt few things, I.e. be cautious of reddit posts and don't buy in when a stock is already relatively high.

    Any advice or recommendations?

    Spreadbetting over normal trading?

    Posted: 31 May 2021 09:33 AM PDT

    For those that don't know what spreadbetting is, here's a simple run-down. You can choose a price per point. For example, suppose I like ICLN at $23. I can buy, with $1 per point. This means I'm holding 100 shares of ICLN. As for why I'm asking this question, gains aren't taxed. Losses aren't either, but that isn't an issue, as in Ireland, you can't really reclaim losses. On gains, anything over €1.3k is taxed 33%. If I bought and held, I pay about 3% interest per year. My idea is simply to buy SPY. I have the ability to leverage myself somewhat as well, and in the event of a crash, I can very easily leverage myself. My question is, is it worth it? I have access to every stock on US exchanges, plus access to most of them coins/coin Indexes, although admittedly, I'm not much of a fan. I'd like to hear some opinions on this. Avoiding 33% tax on gains seems far more enticing.

    r/Stocks Discuss Overlooked Stocks Monday - May 31, 2021

    Posted: 31 May 2021 09:00 AM PDT

    It's lunchtime, Wall St time; time to discuss overlooked stocks that no one is talking about: Overlooked & possibly undervalued stocks.

    All the rules of r/Stocks still apply, so please see the sidebar or click here.

    But here's the twist you can't bring up meme stocks that have been hotly discussed in the past several weeks. Those stocks that everyone has been talking about, you can't bring up here or they'll be autoremoved. Why? It's to keep this thread pure & focused.

    The current list of meme stocks can be found here. So don't mention these stocks in this post or your comment will be removed.

    Need ideas on which stocks to discuss, try a screener like this one.

    Important links:

    After discussing your stock here, feel free to create a post on r/Stocks with all the information you might have just learned.

    Thanks & enjoy!

    Thoughts on Pinterest?

    Posted: 30 May 2021 12:17 PM PDT

    Pinterest is currently my biggest holding and I have a strong conviction about it. I love that it's a women-driven investment that is growing impressively fast around the world and sits at 500M monthly active users.

    The leadership refers to the company as a personal media application and a search engine for ideas. Their two biggest changes has been the introduction of Shops, which has pressured Instagram to release its own influencer version of shops and the release of Livestreams with tickets/waitrooms.

    I really love the direction that this company is going in and it in some ways it kind of reminds me of the intention of YouTube. Mostly women are going on the platform with an intent to plan or search, so the need for influencing is not nearly as high as it is on platforms like Facebook or Bytedance.

    In the short term, I'm bullish on Pinterest with respect to travel. I think we will see continued growth because people are planning their trips and it's a lucrative market.

    In the long-term I'm bullish on it being one of the more effective forms of social media with respect to e-commerce and advertising effectiveness. A user may go on Instagram and spend more time, resulting in no net gain for an advertiser. A user on Pinterest is almost guarunteed to enter and exit with an attempted plan or shop.

    What are your thoughts on Pinterest?

    How does long term gain tax work?

    Posted: 31 May 2021 06:54 AM PDT

    I am intrigued by how long term taxes work. Because it seems very good unless in misunderstanding something.

    Looking up on google, it says if i make less than like 40k, my LTCG tax is 0%? So if i made 35k from a job, and 600k from long term capital gains, that 600k is not taxed at all?

    Future Salesforce Acquisitions

    Posted: 31 May 2021 02:59 AM PDT

    So Salesforce is one of my favorite investments and I was reading the most recent earnings report tonight. I noticed one section stand out:

    "It's made our company, Salesforce and Slack, well, more important to customers than ever. So bringing them together is exciting. And once the merger is approved, we're going to build Slack and all of our products, they'll all become Slack first. It's going to make our customers more productive."

    The idea here is that Salesforce is going to go all-in on Slack and the product really is incredible with respects to integrating across the entire tech world. To me it seems like they're Slack is going to be a huge step forward into Microsoft's space and I'm excited to see the competition intensify.

    That being said, Salesforce is a less complete solution than what Microsoft has to offer in terms of collaboration tools, and products like Atlassian are too expensive. I've noticed that Microsoft and Atlassian both have product management tools and developer repository tools like GitHub and Bitbucket.

    I'm concluding that there is a strong possibility that Slack may acquire companies like Monday.com, who have files for IPO this may, and possibly a company like Digital Ocean.

    Thoughts?

    Currently reading through the S-1 of Oatly

    Posted: 30 May 2021 04:57 PM PDT

    Some of the most interesting notes so far:

    1. Oatly is responsible for the majority demand of Oatmilk products everywhere outside of the US.

    2. What I was hoping to see: Oatly is looking ahead to diversify into other plant based products like pea protein and potato starches (vegan cheese)

    3. Oatlys demand is greater than their supply.

    The note on pea protein is particularly interesting since the product is found in many fitness brands and is a core feature to products like Beyond Meat. I've been a vegetarian for 10 years, so I'm familiar with pea proteins utilization across many meat substitute foods and I'm happy to see Oatly consider this space as a form of product diversification.
