    Have a general question? Want to offer some commentary on markets? Maybe you would just like to throw out a neat fact that doesn't warrant a self post? Feel free to post here!

    • General questions
    • Your personal commentary on markets
    • Opinion gathering on a given stock
    • Non advice beginner questions

    Keep in mind that this subreddit, and this thread, is not an appropriate venue for questions that should be directed towards your broker's customer support or google.

    If you would like to ask a question about your personal situation or if you are asking for advice please keep these posts in the daily advice thread as that thread is more well suited for those questions.

    Any posts that should be comments in this thread will likely be removed.

    • What is your time horizon? Do you need this money next month? Next 20yrs?
    • What is your risk tolerance? (Do you mind risking it at blackjack or do you need to know its 100% safe?)
    • What are you current holdings? (Do you already have exposure to specific funds and sectors? Any other assets?)
    • Any big debts (include interest rate) or expenses?
    • And any other relevant financial information will be useful to give you a proper answer.

    Beijing to break up Ant’s Alipay and force creation of separate loans app

    Posted: 12 Sep 2021 06:15 PM PDT

    Seems like BABA can't catch a break. The Ant valuation has dropped a lot ever since its IPO was scuttled last November. BABA has been in a downtrend since then

    Beijing wants to break up Alipay, the 1bn plus-user superapp owned by Jack Ma's Ant Group, and create a separate app for the company's highly profitable loans business, in the most visible restructuring yet of the fintech giant.

    Chinese regulators have already ordered Ant to separate the back end of its two lending businesses, Huabei, which is similar to a traditional credit card, and Jiebei, which makes small unsecured loans, from the rest of its financial offerings and bring in outside shareholders. Now officials want the two businesses to be split into an independent app as well.

    The plan will also see Ant turn over the user data that underpins its lending decisions to a new credit scoring joint-venture which will be partly state-owned, according to two people familiar with the process.

    "The government believes big tech's monopoly power comes from their control of data," said one person close to financial regulators in Beijing. "It wants to end that."

    The move may slow down Ant's lending business, with the enormous growth of Huabei and Jiebei partly powering its planned IPO last year. The CreditTech unit, which includes the two units, overtook Ant's main payment processing business for the first time in the first half of 2020, to account for 39 per cent of the group's revenues.

    Can you ask your broker to get shares for you at a specific price?

    Posted: 12 Sep 2021 03:07 PM PDT

    There's a guy I know who has a very large account. Like probably $50-100 million account just guessing. He talks about having his broker reserve shares for him at specified prices. Is this something only for large accounts? I tried asking TD Ameritrade to do this last year, and they told me that's not a thing. But he just posted an email online from an actual person and they told him his order filled 3775 @8.99. I'm just wondering if people like this are able to get preference over shares at specific prices?

    Website or downloadable file that shows asset allocation across multiple accounts?

    Posted: 12 Sep 2021 12:47 PM PDT

    Hey There Redditors,

    I am currently rebalancing two of my investment accounts. I have a taxable account and another tax advantage account. I recently have read that international funds should be held in a taxable account more so than tax advantage account. I am wondering if there is any website or excel files one could download where I can put in my current asset allocations among my two portfolios and it will show my overall asset allocation.

    Thanks for any and all suggestions!

    FYI: Apple still gets 30% even with alternative payment methods

    Posted: 12 Sep 2021 03:13 PM PDT

    So much false headlines in the media saying Apple won't be able to collect 30% if App Devs use alternative payment methods instead of Apples In App Purchases. Totally false.

    Read the judgement and the conclusion by the judge. Epic was ordered to pay 30% commission to Apple on the $12 million Epic collected outside of Apples IAP. Yes, Epic still has to pay 30% even though they used their own payment system.

    The judge didn't rule that Apples 30% commission is illegal. She also didn't tie the 30% commission to payment method. So Devs still can't dodge the 30% commission even if they use an alternate payment system.

    Yes, it will be harder for Apple to collect the fee. But most Devs won't bother since they would have to pay Apple 30% PLUS the credit card processor an additional 3-4%. And most users won't even bother using an alternative payment system because it's inconvenient and they won't be getting a cheaper price (Devs will be paying more for users to use alternative payments)

    RGS SuperCuts (Follow-Up ~ Something BIG is Brewing)

    Posted: 12 Sep 2021 10:41 AM PDT

    By now I should be swinging in profits but at the contrary amazingly RGS went down another 5%.

    Normally I would have pulled out and take the lose. HOWEVER there is something much larger brewing in this stock and the set-up looks quite interesting.

    1. Just bouncing of its 52 week low.

    2. Last 3 days RGS saw the highest trading volume in its history (normally trades under 150K last 3 days over 3 Mln per day)

    3. CALL/PUT ratio has swelled (91% Calls 9% Puts with huge volume for a stock like RGS)

    4. Short interest is over 25% in a very tight float.

    5. Leadership; New CEO & 2 New Board members added recently.

    6. Activist investors also taking long positions.

    7. The Oct. $10 Call was recorded as one of the contracts with the highest IV in the market this past week.

    In conclusion can't see it dropping much further and the chart is also showing the last segment of a wedge meaning it's about to make a big move in either direction and I'm betting upwards. Last time the price fell this much it bounced over 100% to the upside within less than one month. It's all there check it out. I'm personally deep in March Calls.

    I don't usually play these type of trades but from a technical standpoint it doesn't get any better than this.
