Warren Buffett and the psychology behind buying, holding, and selling Posted: 11 Sep 2021 05:24 AM PDT Warren Buffett once said one of his biggest mistakes is looking for the cheapest stocks he can get. Instead, he suggests looking for great companies and then go all in if the price is fair. Great companies you can hold for many many years. I think this is an amazing advice that I certainly adopted. I've noticed that there's a lot of psychology behind evaluating if a stock is at a fair price. When I want to buy a new stock, I would be very critical of the price. I will look at all the metrics and compare it to other companies in its industry, etc. However, after I buy a stock, I'd be much less critical. For example, let's say Shopify today traded at ATH around $1800. I'd probably not buy the stock at it looks expensive and I might get it at a better price in the future. However, if I bought it a year ago at $900 I'd probably keep holding it at $1800 cause I believe it's a great company that will keep growing. Ignoring tax implications of holding vs selling (short vs long term gain), we can say that every time we decide to hold a stock we make a decision to buy it. Why do we more likely to hold than buy? I think that's because the psychology of making and losing money. If I buy Shopify at $1800 and tomorrow it goes down to $1600, I'll lose money. No one likes to lose money. If I bought it at $900 and it went to $1800 and then $1600, I'm still happy with my return. I think another reason for holding is that it's easier. If you sell you need to find something else to invest in that you think will give you better returns. Once we found a company that has given us nice returns we're happy with, it's just easier to keep betting on it, even though it doesn't always work (winners keep winning until they don't). I wonder how you deal with the hold or sell decision? Do you often take short term profits and exit a position unlike Buffet's advice to hold for many years? Do you alway set stop losses to ensure your profit doesn't go below a certain price? etc. [link] [comments] |
Why isn't E-Trade listed in the info page here? Are they less desirable for some reason? Posted: 11 Sep 2021 11:58 AM PDT I'm kicking myself for not having started investing straight out of college (13 years ago), but better late than never, right? I've literally had E-Trade, Schwab and such websites bookmarked on chrome since then, just never pulled the trigger. I just downloaded the E-Trade app since it was $0 commission and had decent rating in the store. Figured I'd avoid Robinhood just cuz of the hate I saw over the meme stocks debacle, which I think their lower rating was a result of, lol. I'm obviously a new investor (apart from the 401k-esque plan at work) and I'm looking to start with safer buys until I understand balance sheets, leveraging, all that confusing stuff, better. Not day trading. All that to say, just today I opened this sub up and saw E-Trade wasn't one of the suggested trading platforms. Any reason(s) why? [link] [comments] |
Is now a good time to buy $AAPL? (Apple Inc.) Posted: 10 Sep 2021 10:43 PM PDT Apple perhaps is one of the most popular stock being the highest market cap and found it many investor's portfolio. After dipping due to the in-app purchase lawsuit with Epic Games, I couldn't resist and bought a few shares of my first $AAPL stock ~$150 planning to hold them for many years. Is $AAPL always a good buy at any price? Especially the iPhone 13 event is coming next week, it could dip even further and when Apple Car is ready it can be huge in the future EV market. What are your thoughts on $AAPL in the long term since their main source of revenue is currently from iPhones compared to Amazon as more diversified business? [link] [comments] |
Posted: 11 Sep 2021 08:49 AM PDT https://www.screencast.com/t/ogxplzJI9d I started a post a week ago to rate Zack's Rating (https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/pk1tbd/rating_zacks_rating/). I simulate as if I had put $100 into every stock I track in portfolios based on Zack's Rating. It was certainly a hard week for the stock market. The only "portfolio" that made money was if you had invested in all Zack's lowest "5- Strong Sell" rating. The worst performing portfolio was Zack's highest rating, "1- Strong Buy". 1- Strong Buy -2.77% 2- Buy -0.95% 3- Hold -1.28% 4- Sell -2.48% 5- Strong Sell +1.98% [link] [comments] |
Thoughts on buying Leap Calls for Spy..? Posted: 11 Sep 2021 07:18 AM PDT Seems like a rather safe bet. I'm thinking of grabbing a 500c for September 2022. Never really gotten involved with options dated so far in the future. Just looking for other's views on the matter. Thanks all. Take care [link] [comments] |
Kroger CEO: Organized crime, supply chain issues compressed margins Posted: 10 Sep 2021 07:46 PM PDT Kroger (NYSE:KR) CEO Rodney McMullen said Friday that the gross margin compression that contributed to poor reception for the grocery chain's latest earnings report stemmed from supply-chain pressures and shoplifting that involved organized crime. Speaking to CNBC, McMullen also predicted 2%-3% inflation for the rest of the year for the company's inputs. He added that the chain can pass most of the costs associated with increased commodities prices to its customers. Kroger shares dropped more than 7% on Friday even though the company reported earnings and revenue that nominally topped expectations. The company's margins decreased by 60 basis points, and many investors apparently saw that as their cue to take profits on the stock after KR ran up 24% in the two months heading into the earnings report. McMullen told CNBC that half of the margin decline came as a result of disruptions in Kroger's supply chain, which drove up costs. The other half came from a rise in stolen products fueled by an increased prevalence of organized crime. McMullen said shoplifting by organized crime has become more prevalent in the past year or two. He added that he has been working with other retailers and law-enforcement authorities to counter the problem. The CEO suggested that technology might make it easier for criminals to sell their ill-gotten products, making "shrinkage" – the industry term for merchandise lost to theft – a bigger problem. "In the past, it would have been more flea markets, much harder to sell," he said. "[But] if you look at the current market, it's much easier to sell in the market." KR dropped $3.48 on Friday to close at $42.67. Shares had advanced from early July into last week, when the stock set a closing 52-week high of $47.31. KR also established an intraday 52-week peak of $47.99 https://s eekingalpha.com/news/3738842-kroger-ceo-organized-crime-supply-chain-issues-compressed-margins [link] [comments] |
At what point do you stop dollar cost averaging? Posted: 11 Sep 2021 01:59 PM PDT I've been bagholding $RNG for over a year now and it recently hit its 52 week low. I've been dollar cost averaging for a long time and I want to know what a "smart investor" would do in a situation like this. Keep dollar cost averaging or give up and focus on other stocks? My portfolio was pretty diverse until I started DCA and buying more shares of $RNG so now it's most of my portfolio. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 11 Sep 2021 09:13 AM PDT I've got a bit of stock that is falling in price that I can't sell for 6 months (restricted due to SEC rule 144). Is it a bad idea to sell short the same number of shares and then close both positions after 6 months if I want to simply protect the overall value? I.e. I don't care that I won't get more money if the stock appreciates, I just don't want to lose if it continues to drop in price. My understanding that generally put options are used for hedging, but from what I can tell, this stock isn't traded widely and doesn't have a lot of options available. And I have very little experience with options anyway. [link] [comments] |
What's the difference between a crash and a correction? Posted: 11 Sep 2021 02:10 PM PDT A lot of people are saying that a 15%-30% correction might happen, but how is that not considered a crash? How do people draw the line? Is it how big it is or how long it stays down? Is it the amount of stocks involved or the collective cap of them? Is it just random? Because if a correction is just a drop that corrects in a few months, then they are still pretty bullish no? [link] [comments] |
Googl stock and the Apple court decision Posted: 11 Sep 2021 05:10 AM PDT Hi all We saw the dump with aaple after the court decision , although it's actually good for apple to leave that behind and a victory since no monopoly accusations stood. Why did googl tumbled along? I know there's a trial in one year for the same reasons but google play mkt share in the us is a lot lower than applestore and besides googl play allows more room for outside developers. Do You think this will be the start of a correction for Google since it's up 60% YTD? Thanks (Sorry for my English not a ntv spker) Disclosure: hold googl since 2012 and have some Jan ITM calls still green [link] [comments] |
Rising sentiment for Russian equities Posted: 11 Sep 2021 01:37 PM PDT I've been seeing a lot of bullish articles regarding Russian equities, even though—and let's get this out of the way immediately—obvious geopolitical and corruption risks remain. Reuters: Russian stocks to climb higher throughout 2022
In addition to oil prices, a growing market of retail investors in Russia seems to be significant. We've all seen how much retail investors can affect the market these days. Not to mention, the construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline finished the other day, but flows haven't started. WSJ: More Russian Companies Set to Join New York IPO Frenzy
Although geopolitical concerns should never be nonexistent with Russia, it seems they are at their lowest in years. If you pay attention to geopolitics news, you may have also noticed a rising popularity in geopolitical papers for the idea that the US should court Russia in order to counter China. Financial Times has also run articles about Russia's "market boom" and IPO spree as well as the bullish sentiment on Russia's massive agriculture industry:
Also relevant is news that Russia's Sberbank is undertaking a push to become Russia's Amazon. iShares Russia ETF $ERUS is up 24% YTD while VanEck Russia ETF $RSX is up 23.44%. They have dividend yields of 4.12% and 2.72%, respectively. I had looked into these ETFs a couple years ago and wish that I had gotten in sooner. Gazprom is usually only available OTC for retail investors, but Yandex $YNDX is listed on American exchanges and is actually included in a number of ETFs involving technology like self-driving cars. Russian equities are not as far fetched as you may think. What are your thoughts on this news and have you taken an interest in Russian equities at all? [link] [comments] |
Posted: 11 Sep 2021 12:59 PM PDT I use Robinhood, and ASML Holding NV is not supported. Do any other brokers support buying and selling ASML? I.e., Fidelity, Schwab. Is there a way to determine which stocks are available for trading on a certain platform before creating an account? [link] [comments] |
Online brokers as rates by Kiplinger’s Posted: 11 Sep 2021 08:39 AM PDT I come across this question in a lot of subs of what broker to use. Anyway they ranked/scored each from 1-9 in 8 categories. They rated mobile app highest at 20% weight due to more and more folks trading that way. Criteria was that the broker had to offer trading in stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, and individual bonds. That eliminated Robinhood, M1, and SoFi that don't offer mutual funds or the bonds. They do have a sub story on niche brokers that covers those not listed. And another one that is find the best broker for what matters most to you personally. Surprise that Firstrade was mentioned for best for options. Fidelity runs away with it. I am also a personal fan of Fidelity. In addition to what's in the article, they have all types of accounts, can do complex plans like 72(t) rule, all my accounts are linked to include my wife's accounts. Also can give trading authority for each other's accounts. [link] [comments] |
Are platforms like Trading212, eToro and InteractiveBrokers legit for long-term investing? Posted: 11 Sep 2021 03:35 AM PDT I made some research and figured out they're all heavily regulated and filled with warnings, but as I'm investing from Europe (their European headquarters are mostly located in Cyprus & alike) I'm a little worried. What stops them from shutting the whole operation down and making a run? They would not be the first. I'm interested in buying a couple of stocks and ETFs and holding them at least for a couple of years. Will my assets be safe holding through their brokerage or should I find another alternative? At the moment I like Trading212 the most. Thanks for the help. [link] [comments] |
Hi, I’d like to ask opinions on AT&T Posted: 11 Sep 2021 12:37 AM PDT I own 216 shares. Bought them several months ago as a dividend stock. Now I'm wondering if the stock is worth keeping since I read it was being cut, and because of whatever is happening with WarnerMedia . . Opinions and Advice appreciated! ETA: Thanks to all of you for the advice. Seems my hunch about not keeping it was right. And yeah I bought the stock right before the info came out about the dividend cut. [link] [comments] |

Can you get charged a fee for buying an ADR stock on a $0 commission brokerage sites? Posted: 10 Sep 2021 10:09 PM PDT This may or may not be the right sub for such a question. If not I guess the auto-mods will do their thing. Anyway, I bought two XPEV shares (separately) on Fidelity and was charged for it. Fidelity said the charge didn't originate from them and it was probably from the oversea agency overseeing the XPEV stock. The agent wasn't clear on that part. Was wondering if anyone has experienced this before. Buying an ADR share and getting charged for it. [link] [comments] |
Corporate buybacks: does anyone know how to track details? Posted: 11 Sep 2021 05:37 AM PDT I am assuming that some seemingly-sensational pumps in stocks (by that I mean 20-50% increase steadily in 1-4 weeks) might have to do with corporate buybacks. How, specifically, do the buybacks happen, when, on the open market or off-exchange B2B, etc? Is it announced in advance what the details will be? Or, do corporations have someone sitting in an office forcing buy orders all day to pump their price? As I learn more about valuations and related things, the more I see irrationality in steady price pumps and do not believe any rational person or entity would continue to buy at the inflated prices… and yet stock is bought… so I'm wondering if there is a way to figure out if the buy action is the company doing a buyback (because—if so—there is nothing to counter that).

Trend line to end at point in future? Posted: 10 Sep 2021 11:12 PM PDT Hi all, I wonder if anyone can help. I cant for the life of me figure out how to draw a trend line that starts at a certain point in the past (that part i can do) that ends at a certain point in the future where that end point shows the price at that future point. For instance the SP500, I want to draw a trend line from the 2020 lows to the end of this year to see what the predicted price will be at the end of this year. This is just out of interest, and not me trying to predict the future price. Thank you. [link] [comments] |
