    Are there any companies too evil to invest in?

    Posted: 20 Nov 2021 03:27 AM PST

    A Big Pharma company that got millions of Americans addicted to oxycontin and 100,000s killed from overdoses? A chocolate company who relies on child slave labor in West African cocoa plantations? A fast food chain that gets its hamburger beef from devastated deforested areas of the Amazon? Etc.

    Serious question - are there any rating systems for corporate evil and/or investment funds that will allow for moral investments?

    Intel as a derivative trade on ASML. Intel is finally catching up with Moore's Law

    Posted: 20 Nov 2021 07:25 AM PST

    Moore's Law states the amount of transistors on a chip doubles every two years but the cost of production drops by half. This concept was created by Gordon Moore, the co-founder of Intel and has actually held up for decades.

    ASML designs and manufactures EUV lithography machines, which are extremely high precision machines that put complex designs on incredibly small chips. ASML is the only EUV lithography design and manufacturer in the world. Look up their stock performance and financials if you question these claims.

    Intel used to be a top class chip manufacturer but they've struggled with the 7nm chips and their stock has been punished. The simple reason for Intel's shortcomings is they've not been using EUV lithography machines from ASML.

    Plain and simple, without EUV lithography, Intel has been handicapping itself for years now and is a big reason they have fallen behind. The last link below notes how their 7nm chip design is now using EUV lithography at the 2 new fab plants they are building for $20B in Arizona. Intel is going to start to catch up.

    TLDR: ASML provides the technology to keep Moore's Law alive and Intel hasn't been using it until now. Their depressed, low P/E stock valuation will begin to correct with outperformance as their technology begins to catch-up after major mistakes not using EUV lithography.

    ASML is the Key to Intel's Resurrection Just like TSMC beat Intel

    Do not trust financial market risk models. Reality is always too complex to be accurately modeled.

    Posted: 20 Nov 2021 09:25 AM PST

    In 2010 investor and founder of the Baupost Group Seth Klarman described key lessons from the financial crisis which were either never learned or else immediately forgotten by most market participants. With him at the helm the Baupost Group has averaged around 18% and that since 1982 - a spectacular return. Some of these lessons are very relevant today.

    Do not trust financial market risk models. Reality is always too complex to be accurately modeled. Attention to risk must be a 24/7/365 obsession, with people – not computers – assessing and reassessing the risk environment in real time. Despite the predilection of some analysts to model the financial markets using sophisticated mathematics, the markets are governed by behavioral science, not physical science.

    What's your take on where the stock market going in 2022?

    Do I have too many ETFs?

    Posted: 20 Nov 2021 05:45 PM PST

    I've been investing in ETFs in different sectors but am aware, through looking at holdings, some of them overlap, is the overlap that significant or are these ETFs different enough for their own sectors? Or is having this many holdings just ineffective with a monthly investment of 300-400 dollars a month? I'm open to all info, thanks all. Bless.

    STOCKS: TTCF

    ETFs/Index: ICLN, CARZ, XLF, IXJ, XLP, VOO, NOBL, SCHH, ARKX.

    NOTE: I have many ETFs but each month I don't always invest in all of them, I usually only invest big in the ones that are down the most, with the rest of the money being distributed to the rest of the portfolio.

    Michael Burry’s Latest Holdings (Scion Asset Management)

    Posted: 20 Nov 2021 08:56 AM PST

    SCION ASSET MANAGEMENT, LLC

    HTTP://WWW.SCIONASSET.COM • SARATOGA, CA

    ## Scion Asset Management is based out of Saratoga and is run by Dr. Michael J. Burry. Scion Asset Management is a hedge fund with 5 clients and discretionary assets under management (AUM) of $638,901,404 (Form ADV from 2021-03-31). Their last reported 13F filing for Q3 2021 included $41,719,000 in managed 13F securities and a top 10 holdings concentration of 100.0%. Scion Asset Management's largest holding is CVS Health Corp. (Melville Shoe) with shares held of 200,000. Whalewisdom has at least 16 13F filings, and 7 13D filings.

    Click link for current holdings with detail: https://i.imgur.com/HpdNN83.jpg

    Original link to 13F https://whalewisdom.com/filer/scion-asset-management-llc#tabholdings_tab_link

    TLDR:

    • CVS 40.68% of Portfolio
    • LMT 24.82%
    • GEO 20.75%
    • CXW 8.79%
    • DNOW 2.75%
    • SCYX 2.21%

    There's a lot to unpack here, but have at it:

    Few notes. Massive reduction in securities:

    • Q2 '21 USD 147,257,000.00
    • Q3 '21 USD 41,719,000.00

    TSLA PUTS comprised the largest portion of his portfolio in previous quarters and now make up 0%. Unknown what the actual loss was, but assume it was substantial.

    • Q2 '21 35% -> Q3 '21 0%

    Current lineup looks a hedge to some great coming apocalypse. This will end badly for Burry. I'd be surprised if SCION doesn't shut down within a year.

    Is ZIM looking ok? 17% dividend?

    Posted: 20 Nov 2021 06:06 PM PST

    Darn I sold my small position in ZIM at 45 and now it's back to 57!

    I also noticed they have a 17% dividend now. Is that as good as it sounds?

    Anyways I'm thinking of throwing $1500 in ZIM Monday. New price target is $80 and I guess shipping is finally starting to ease a bit?

    Any info on shipping?

    Is ZIM a good move now?

    130/30 long-short strategy - what are your experiences and short sale recommendations?

    Posted: 20 Nov 2021 04:20 PM PST

    Although market might seem inflated and ripe for a pull-back, in fact many bears are calling for a crash for quite a time, I believe due to FED's pandemic-response monetary policy there's a ton of liquidity and excess reserves and with interest rates this low, stocks have no alternative. That being said I think that the market at the moment is reasonably stable and I doubt there will be a huge pull-back or a crash in a foreseeable future, however small corrections of 5-10% might be possible along the way.

    I'd like to reduce my exposure to this small corrections by having positions that could be closed for a profit in downturn and proceeds to be used to double down on the long-conviction ones. I'm aware that the short selling can be very risky with possible unlimited losses, therefore I have no intentions of entering a naked position, rather having a long-dated OTM call together with a short position against which I'd sell weekly puts. I've been doing this with NKLA for the last month with positive results. I firmly believe NKLA is a fraud that will not bring a new technology, it will simply be burning cash until eventually goes to zero.

    What are your experiences with such a strategy and what are your fraudster companies short sale recommendations?

    Question about buying SPY call LEAPs

    Posted: 20 Nov 2021 02:55 PM PST

    Have been getting burned too many times buying short term (4 or 6 month) single company call spreads. Looking to switch to SPY call spreads. For those of you doing this, what spread width and duration do you find most successful?

    The appeal to me of SPY call LEAPs is much better gains compared with buying SPY shares, while still having enough time in the market in case of downturn (though there's no guarantee of course that the market won't be down for 1-2 consecutive years).

    Looking at buying SPY $470 call/selling $520 call with 12/2023 expiry.

    Thank you in advance.

    BMO Sees S&P 500 Hitting 5,300 Next Year, a 12% Gain

    Posted: 20 Nov 2021 05:55 AM PST

    BMO believes the stock market will continue to ascend next year, though less vigorously, after the S&P 500 has soared 25% year to date, 16% in 2020 and 30% in 2019.

    The bank's Chief Investment Strategist Brian Belski predicts the index will hit 5,300 in 2022. That would represent a gain of 13% from the Friday's recent level of 4,699.

    Are you ready for more pump? What's your top pick?

    Shorts as a day trading strategy.

    Posted: 20 Nov 2021 01:33 PM PST

    Id like to preface this by saying I have very little investing experience in the stock market, Im primarily invested in real-estate. Also if this is not the right sub please let me know where this should go!

    The past month I've become interested in learning more about stocks and decided to give day trading a shot via a paper account. I initially tried several stratagies and types of analysis to hop on trends and try to turn a consistent win rate, mostly to little success.

    However in the past week and a half I've noticed a relationship between RSI and stocks (mostly HTB but not always) that very quickly jump in price. Essentially when these stocks spike in price and RSI indicates very oversold I short, the stock price will correct over the next few minutes and I'll cover and scalp a quick profit.

    I did over 60 trades in this manner over the last week and hit a win rate of 82% and made 68% gains on the paper account ($18,750 to $31,539). Im aware the paper account was not taking HTB fees and keeping track of maintenance requirements but this was more an exercise in achieving a consistent win rate. If I had made the exact same traded and cover a few days after the initial short my win rate jumped to 92%. Ill have photos of the trades as well an excel sheet detailing the individual trades as well as analysis scaleing down to a minimum margin account complying with pattern trading regulations.

    Im looking for advice on if this is actually viable outside of a paper trading environment, can a win rate like this be achieved and should I bring in anymore analysis outside RSI, MACD, KDJ and volume to float? Any advice from people who short stocks regularly would be appreciated!

    Restructure and Sell ICLN for loss to buy AMD?

    Posted: 20 Nov 2021 11:15 AM PST

    Not in a huge need of cash at the moment, but I bought ICLN at $27/share and its currently trading at $24-$25/share, so I'm taking about a 10% loss at the moment. I am trying to weight my options - do I sell and put into AMD (currently have shares of AMD, but want to expand) or hold out for a while longer to see if I can recuperate my loss? My stock portfolio is pretty tech/silicon chip heavy (AMD, MSFT, AAPL, NVDA, VTI, SWKS) so not sure if this is a smart move to make my portfolio even more risky.

    Are buying US ETFs worth it as a Canadian?

    Posted: 20 Nov 2021 02:53 PM PST

    As the title suggests, I'm a Canadian citizen interested in US stocks. Specifically QQQ and VYM. I know I'll be taxed on any gains I earn when the ETFS sell but does anyone know where I can find relevant tax information on this?

    Learning options. What's the catch with ones that are already past break even?

    Posted: 20 Nov 2021 05:19 PM PST

    Currently learning options and I noticed that stocks have options that are already past the break even point. I know it's the weekend and that might be messing things up somehow without my knowledge, but what's the catch? What's stopping someone from buying the options, executing them, and then selling them immediately for some quick cash? I know it's a small amount, but what's stopping someone from doing it inmass?

    The right time to tax loss harvest

    Posted: 20 Nov 2021 12:11 PM PST

    I am curious when the right time to tax loss harvest is.... does everyone wait until the last day of trading before the new year?

    Are people playing it safe and doing a few days.

    My portfolio is balanced to manage this but I am just curious on the optimal timing..... because the way I think about it is sell the loss and invest in a synonym stock but when is the right time?

    Supply chain issues.....What does it mean really?

    Posted: 20 Nov 2021 10:24 AM PST

    We have been told there is inflation due to supply chain issues. What exactly does that mean? What is the supply chain? Am i correct in assuming the chain consists of production of raw material, outsourced manufacturing, and transportation? Where do issues occur on this chain? Can someone explain it to me like I'm 5?

    5 Year Portfolio Timeframe

    Posted: 20 Nov 2021 09:04 AM PST

    As the title states, I have around a 5 year time horizon (preferably less if I can make enough money) to buy my first house. I wish to save up atleast $100k for the downpayment and have been using stocks as a way to generate steady but fast growing wealth.

    Currently my tax free portfolio includes:

    1. Enbridge - 30%
    2. Scotiabank - 21%
    3. AMD - 20%
    4. CN Rail - 16%
    5. Carrier Global - 11%
    6. Fobi AI - 2%

    I wanted to know your opinion on what stocks I should be buying more of, which to sell in my portfolio, or which new high growth stocks I should buy to appreciate my portfolio significantly within the next 2-5 years. I don't want to keep too many stocks because I feel I will miss out on potential gains on some growth stocks I have right now. I also have $6k cash coming in soon which I may use to fill up an existing position or buy a new high growth stock.

    Any help/advice would be much appreciated. I need my money to grow at a significant pace for the next few years.

    What would you do with Boeing stock?

    Posted: 20 Nov 2021 05:58 AM PST

    I'm at a $175 cost average and the hope was it will approach $300 as the Max issues get put behind them and travel picks up, but it seems they can't get out of their own way. Curious what others would do with this stock?
