    Quick question (for option traders)

    Posted: 03 Jul 2021 08:34 AM PDT

    As someone getting into options trading I'm curious, if you could tell your past self one (or a few) things what would it be? (Or if you have any book recommendations I'd recommend "The Candlestick Bible" great read helps with candle patterns)

    Are options always more profitable albeit riskier than stocks?

    Posted: 03 Jul 2021 01:16 PM PDT

    I was wondering if buying long term call options might be better than stocks if I have a higher risk tolerance.

    I understand that I'm exposed to lose all of the premium, unlike stocks where my investment going to 0 is very unlikely. That's a risk I'm willing to take.

    So, instead of buying $5k worth of stocks, if I buy $5k worth of ATM call options with a strike date in 2023, assuming the stock does well will my profits be significantly higher?

    ETF’s are basically tax advantages accounts

    Posted: 02 Jul 2021 09:38 PM PDT

    I love picking stocks like everyone else here. I thought I would phrase why ETFs are the way to go in a way I found compelling.

    If you stock picking, you constantly are realizing gains, even if you are long duration and conservative.

    If you just never sell your ETFs, the fund keeps buying and selling stocks, but you don't realize those gains, similar to a 401k.

    Dividends are obviously the exception. You get taxed on those, but those are relatively small typically.

    Tax efficiency is one of the main benefit of ETFs, and I found that thinking of it as a tax advantaged account is a compelling framing for understanding this primary benefit.

    Edit: Another way to phase this is that ETFs do not pay taxes because they shift exposure to the underlying stocks with creation units.

    Creation units are at the heart of the tax advantage, and most people don't really understand or appreciate it.

    Retail stock pickers cannot play the creation unit game, and therefore are at a relative massive tax disadvantage long term. This is one of the primary reasons why professionals recommend buying and holding ETFs.

    Buying and holding ETFs is similar to tax advantaged accounts because they also have a structural tax advantage. ETFs less so, but still very significant.

    I'm not trying to convince anyone. This is just something I have come to appreciate. I thought phasing it as similar to a tax advantaged account was an interesting framing.

    Edit 2: PSA: I would like to point out that there has been a market trend where ETF creators increasingly take advantage of this positive perception of ETFs and charge a huge fee while the investors think they are doing the smart thing by holding ETFs. Gotta look at the expense ratio and fee structure. Generally if the ETF has a huge amount of assets under management, the fees are ok.

    Edit 3: Jurisdiction specific. Written with the USA in mind.

    Opinions on Corsair for short term?

    Posted: 03 Jul 2021 01:08 PM PDT

    Hello

    I have only used Corsair's RAM I really do not have any idea if their other components are really a bang for your buck. That being said I see a lot of people saying this is a strong buy, I looked at their presentation and to be honest, I do not thing gaming is slowing anytime soon, even with Covid gone. So anyone here to give advice if its worth picking (or not) around 10 shares for probably few months?

    Vanguard S&S ISA, S&P 500 Question

    Posted: 03 Jul 2021 05:58 AM PDT

    Hey!

    I'm investing in the S&P 500, but Vanguard doesn't allow fractional shares. If I put in £100 and the unit price is £51, £49 is then put into my account as 'cash'. Is there a way of buying units individually as opposed to blindly putting money in? If I try to reinvest the cash, it further dents my yearly ISA allowance. This seems wrong as it's the same money?

    $APPS - Reason why the price drop. Basically due to investor wrong interpretation of Google policy shift on apps, hence the dip

    Posted: 03 Jul 2021 06:38 AM PDT

    This is the email I received from DT in response to my email concerning today's stock price drop from Brian Bartholomew Senior Vice President, Capital Markets and Strategy

    Hi David-

    CRAZY day today, to be sure. The Google policy-shift noise was the source of our weakness today…and was severely misinterpreted by investors today…

    https://www.theverge.com/2021/6/30/22557390/google-apk-app-bundles-package-format-play-store

    There are scarier, more (wrongfully-)opinionated versions of the same story floating around out there today, some of which seem to wish to imply that Google is working to effectively remove all other app install sources. This is UNTRUE – we are fully onboard with Google in this "bundle" effort that is rooted in other, more logical incentives. Most importantly, this has ZERO impact on our business (we fully applaud the movement to app bundles and support app bundles already as part of our platform).

    There is NO way that our stock should be down on this noise.

    Total madness today. Speculation led to outright fear. We fully support Google's efforts in this area…just as they fully accept & support our participation in the ecosystem. Our business is just as fully healthy as it was yesterday…and will ideally continue to be going forward.

    Have a safe & sane (& fun) weekend.

    -Brian

    Large cap, mid cap, small cap. What's your play?

    Posted: 03 Jul 2021 03:38 PM PDT

    Every investment has its advantages and disadvantages. I wanted to hear from users what they have had the most success in. It seems to me like large cap companies offer some stability. Meanwhile small cap companies have the highest growth potential but also the most risk. And mid cap being some where in between.
    So as an investor, where do you put your money? and where do you put your time? Do you prefer to invest in only large cap? Do you prefer to invest across the spectrum? Do you feel like choosing one of these and focusing on it will give you an advantage due to expertise?

    Asset allocation cash/stocks ?

    Posted: 03 Jul 2021 12:12 PM PDT

    Right now I don't see any point in bonds for me and haven't had any for over almost a year.

    Anyways I've been investing for a year and a half now after my grandmother passed and I received close to 6 figures.

    So I'm about 3/4 of the way to a 6 figure portfolio with what I invested from what my grandmother left me and am becoming slightly nervous that I may be in to aggressively.

    I have my emergency fund (about 11k) in savings and the rest split between Vanguard and Fidelity. I've been doing well return wise. Maybe 28% so far in 1.5 years.

    I'm about 90/10 stocks/cash and am feeling that I should be more like 60/40 stocks cash or something. I feel that we may correct in September, but of course you never know and that of course would be timing the market.

    My stocks are mostly MSFT AAPL AMZN GOOGL LRCX ASML NVDA PYPL CRWD SQ UNH HD VTV VB total market etc.

    Should I sell some of my long shares in my taxable? Is 30 to 40% cash a waste?

    Is Tesla a good long term investment for someone 20 years until retirement?

    Posted: 03 Jul 2021 01:58 PM PDT

    I only have about 20 years to build my retirement up. I want stocks that are a bit risky with high yield potential. I know Tesla is involved in a lot more than just cars, is this a good one to hold onto for 20 years? Thanks.

    I do not own enough shares to take part in a reverse stock split. Am I in trouble?

    Posted: 03 Jul 2021 05:06 PM PDT

    I really only play with penny stocks in a cash only account. Apparently one of those stocks did a reverse split on Friday where 10,000 shares equals 1 share. I only had 5,900 shares. What is going to happen? Am I going to owe money to TD Ameritrade?

    Wash Sale Multiple Accounts Question

    Posted: 03 Jul 2021 05:02 PM PDT

    … because there's never enough wash sale questions, right?

    Is the wash sale triggered off an investor/SSN/ID… or is it confined to one account?

    Situation: I recently sold a stock at a loss in my IRA account. If I buy it back into a separate individual brokerage account (same broker), will it trigger a wash sale?

    General guidelines/references for taxes

    Posted: 03 Jul 2021 11:58 AM PDT

    Hi all, I have a question regarding "general guidelines" or good references to start with to ensure proper tax filings are done as earnings increase. As an investor/trader starts to earn more money in stocks Is there anything they should be aware of? From my understanding capital gains tax is around 40%. So I have been preparing myself the expectation that roughly 40% of yearly gains will go towards taxes. I plan on setting up a meeting with a CPA but wanted to reach out to see if anyone has some additional experience/input/books/references to check out in the meantime that I can learn from. For example, if a quarter you earn $xxxxxx amount you must file form-yy every quarter...etc Anything like that Thanks in advance

    Should I move to a fund denominated in my currency?

    Posted: 03 Jul 2021 01:13 PM PDT

    A bit of info, I am living in the UK and I currently have about 20% of my portfolio within my Vanguard ISA invested in the FTSE Emerging Markets UCITS ETF (VFEM), which is denominated in USD.

    I have compared it to one of Vanguards other funds that are available in their UK ISA platforms, the 'Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund', which is denominated in GBP and I am wondering if it is worth switching, or what I should bare in mind before I do?

    The USD fund has a slightly lower charge, 0.01% lower

    The GBP fund is benchmarked against the MSCI EM Index, which the USD fund is against the FTSE EM Index.

    I want to remain invested in Emerging Markets, but I'm not sure if I should move to the fund denominated in my native currency to try to mitigate against changes in exchange rates. Any advise?

    Secure Stocks ?

    Posted: 03 Jul 2021 07:39 AM PDT

    Hi everyone, I was looking for a very secure stock or etf where I can "park" my money while I wait until something bigger happens. I don't care if that stock only increases very little, as long as it doesn't go down. Can someone give me any recommendations?

    Question about ETFs & compound interest

    Posted: 03 Jul 2021 09:07 AM PDT

    Basically I'm not sure whether to put all my capitol into 1 ETF or multiple different ones which I'll make sure they have minimal overlap

    Is compound interest more effective if you have a higher capitol into 1 ETF or your money spread through multiple? Not sure if it even makes a difference. I'm thinking to go into max 3-5 different ETFs

    I'm 25 and my goal is a million+ by 2050. Hope someone can shed some light and let me know if theres a better way to do this.

    Thanks!

    How to calculate CAGR for a portfolio to which you regularly add money?

    Posted: 03 Jul 2021 09:45 AM PDT

    I am looking at the CAGR calculated by eTrade but I don't think it is right. My doubt is I have regularly added money to the portfolio so it seems to inflate the Ending Value.
    Any suggestions how to calculate it?
    Also, eTrade for me doesn't work because it adds my company's stock plans numbers too to the individual brokerage account.

    Critique me: VXX Retirement Hedge

    Posted: 03 Jul 2021 01:08 PM PDT

    Buying into retirement vehicles now at ATHs. Which is fine over 20 years or so. However I also bought 1000 shares of VXX Friday at under ATL as I can see. I plan to see a GTC order on it to sell at $100 and can wait 20 years as a hedge against the next black swan. The investment is about 5-10% of my total retirement account capital. It seems too simple so I have a blind spot. What is it?
