    Posted: 24 Nov 2021 02:02 AM PST

    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!

    This thread is for:

    • 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.

    If your question is "I have $10,000, what do I do?" or other "advice for my personal situation" questions, you should include relevant information, such as the following:

    • How old are you? What country do you live in?
    • Are you employed/making income? How much?
    • What are your objectives with this money? (Buy a house? Retirement savings?)
    • 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.

    Please consider consulting our FAQ first - https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/wiki/faq And our side bar also has useful resources.

    Purchasing Stocks AFTER the Dividend Payment Date

    Posted: 23 Nov 2021 06:00 PM PST

    I come across a lot of posts discussing buying dividend stocks before the ex-dividend date to try and capture the yield and then sell the stock. The general consensus is that this likely will not work.

    However, one thing that *IS* likely to happen - is that the stock price will drop after the dividend date (thus making the above strategy useless). I'm assuming then, and correct me if I'm wrong, that the stock price will eventually recover.

    1. Is this "recovery" then due to natural stock *growth* or is the recovery some sort of market mechanism specific to dividend stocks where naturally money flows back into the stock after the post-dividend drop? (I'm aware this could be a distinction without a difference)
    2. If recovery for many stocks is inevitable then I'm surprised I haven't seen much discussion about investment strategies where you purchase the stock after the post-dividend drop? What am I missing?

    ANSWERED: The assumption that the stock price will drop after the dividend date or that the stock price will recover is incorrect. Thanks to those who answered.

    Edit: Glad to see reddit is as toxic as ever for asking a question - please get some sunshine. I find it astonishing because if you asked a question like this in real life you'd just get a normal answer from a normal person.

    No doubt the ones making sarky comments are the ones to have little experience in real life social interaction.

    Migration from growth stocks starting?

    Posted: 23 Nov 2021 06:21 PM PST

    The last two days I'm seeing all the growth stocks I own or follow quickly dropping to 52 week lows. Its only two days, but I usually see more of a mixed bag off movement, whereas all the fish are now swimming in the same direction.

    It does make me wonder if this is the cusp of a migration away from long term/growth companies we've been expecting. Or maybe it's just random noise. Who knows?

    Anyone else seeing this trend?

    (Note: I'm in for the long haul on stocks like this, so I'm not worried, just find it curious and want to know what others think.)

    S&P500 and NASDAQ100 Indexes by weight

    Posted: 23 Nov 2021 08:59 PM PST

    As in index investor, I occasionally look up the representation of a particular ticker in an index on a big news day for a company (lookin' at you, Elon) but since I hold SPY and QQQ in equal portions, I was curious about specific overlaps and also average exposure, so I made this spreadsheet.

    It's a screenshot sorted by average ((S&P+NASDAQ)/2) weight.

    This would probably fun to do some visualizations with so maybe I'll play around with that at work tomorrow.

    I just figured someone else might find this interesting!

    Aixtron's stock might be down because of forced liquidation

    Posted: 24 Nov 2021 03:22 AM PST

    I don't know who or if anyone has blown up their account, but there is no news and yet the stock was down 5% yesterday and another 9.2% today.

    I have been both investing and trading this stock for years. The company has almost no supply chain issues (see their most recent presentation) and is benefiting hugely from the semiconductor supply chain problems (their technology helps build more supply). I have decades of experience in investing. They are profitable, debt free, strategically located next to a university (so, they can get cheap labor) and their sales grow faster than their S&GA overhead. They even own at least one monopoly technology for which there exists no competition.

    I bought more today and even liquidated another position for it. Liquidating the rest of my portfolio goes a little bit too far (I am conservative, but take opportunities when they arise).

    Trading volume has been going down significantly. The current price does not reflect the value of the company.

    From their conference call you can hear that they expect strong demand for their products until at least 2023. There are also transcripts available.

    Ticker: Aixtron (ETR: AIXA)
