    Beginners read up, pros can skip :) >>Must-know metrics<<

    Are you someone who has been lurking around this reddit community because you are considering investing in stocks. In hindsight, you don't know where to start. While this community is buzzing with activity and know-hows on the latest news around the world's top stock markets, I would have to admit that there is information over-load.

    Just like you, I was scrambling on the internet to find all the right resources before I could begin trading. There is so much out there and, it might not all make sense to a beginner like yourself.

    I will put some YouTube links down here alongside some suggestions for books and articles:

    For a crash course on Stock Markets, visit the Youtube video - Stock Market for Beginners 2021 | Step by Step Guide by "Marko- Whiteboard finance"

    A guide to picking stocks for beginners would be: https://medium.com/milou-blog/your-beginner-friendly-guide-to-investing-in-stocks-milou-blog-7500b313826f (Includes Dos and Don'ts)

    In case you have trouble with finance buzzwords: look it up on https://www.investopedia.com/

    At your current stage, I would highly recommend you first learn how to analyze stocks before picking them for your portfolio. The best way to do this would probably be with Milou.io. It is ideal for beginners as it includes educational and guided analysis and also descriptive visualizations. On the plus side, it's free to use.

    For next steps, I would recommend drilling down into individual metrics discussed in this blog and apply them in the stock analysis tool of your choice. Hopefully the data makes more sense then. You will have then be best equipped to set foot into the world of stock markets.

    ps: PLEASE READ THE BOOK - THE PSYCHOLOGY OF MONEY. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.

    Much love <3 from fellow novice investor

    Beginners gather around!

    BYD more than double Tesla Chinese sales in 4Q. Li and XPeng the big 2021 growth stories

    Posted: 12 Jan 2022 03:32 AM PST

    BYD sold 264K EV's in China vs Tesla's 116K in the final quarter of 2021.

    Quarterly breakdown on Chinese EV sales (sales not production - Tesla now exports MIC vehicles contrary to its original business strategy):

    1Q 2021: Tesla 69K BYD 53K Li/Nio/Xpeng 47K

    2Q 2021: Tesla 62K BYD 98K L/N/X 58K

    3Q 2021: Tesla 74K BYD 183K L/N/X 75K

    4Q 2021: Tesla 116K BYD 264K L/N/X 102K

    Tesla obviously had a good final quarter but nothing to BYD. SAIC takes top spot with 733K EV's, but the cheap Hong Guang Mini distorts those figures. Xpeng saw the biggest annual growth of 263% passing both NIO and Li in yearly sales. The latter grew sales at 177% annually.

    (All figures from China Passenger Car Association)

    Here is a Market Recap for today Tuesday, January 11, 2022

    Posted: 11 Jan 2022 01:26 PM PST

    PsychoMarket Recap - Tuesday, January 11, 2022

    After one of the wildest days I've experienced in the market, stocks carried on yesterday's momentum, with all three major indexes advancing as market participants digested new testimony from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

    Markets Today

    • S&P 500 (SPY): +0.91%
    • Nasdaq (QQQ): +1.52%
    • Dow Jones (DIA): +0.50%
    • Russell 2000 (IWM): +1.05%
    • Volatility Index (VIX): -5.05%
    • Advanced Micro Devices (AMD): +4.02%
    • Sea Limited (SE): +6.01%
    • Albertsons (ACI): -9.56%
    • Virgin Orbit (VORB): +27.83%
    • Shake Shack (SHAK): +12.14%
    • Amazon (AMZN): +2.40%

    During his confirmation hearing before Congress, Powell said the US economy was healthy enough to support a reduction in the accommodative monetary policy that has propped up the markets for the last two years. This means putting an end to quantitative easing and raising the interest rate.

    He said, "As we move through this year … if things develop as expected, we'll be normalizing policy, meaning we're going to end our asset purchases in March, meaning we'll be raising rates over the course of the year. At some point perhaps later this year we will start to allow the balance sheet to run off, and that's just the road to normalizing policy."

    Powell reiterated that the Central Bank was prepared to act if the pace of inflation does not begin to moderate in the coming months. He said, "If we see inflation persisting at high levels, longer than expected, if we have to raise interest rates more over time, then we will."

    Powell said the moves are in response to an economy with a strong labor market, with an unemployment rate of 3.9% in December, but elevated inflation. Powell said, "What that [the unemployment rate coupled with elevated inflation] is really telling us is that the economy no longer needs or wants the very highly accommodative policies that we've had in place to deal with the pandemic and its aftermath. We're really just going to be moving over the course of this year to a policy that is closer to normal. But it's a long road to normal from where we are."

    The Fed's most potent tool remains interest rates, which the central bank has pinned to zero since the depths of the pandemic. Raising interest rates could address higher demand by making it more expensive to borrow. However, higher borrowing costs would not do much to address supply-side constraints and shipping bottlenecks that are greatly contributing to the rise in prices. Powell said, "We can affect the demand side, we can't affect the supply side. But this really is a combination of the two."

    Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury yield, which reached a yearly higher at 1.8% yesterday, came down after Powell's speech, hovering at 1.741% at the time of writing.

    Steven Wieting, Global Chief Investment Strategist at Citigroup, said "We're seeing across the board a re-rating of what the Federal Reserve will do. The likelihood is very clear that the Fed will succeed in sinking inflation. That is going to happen one way or the other and we are just trying to gather how actively the Fed will be doing that."

    Regarding interest rate hikes, JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon said he sees the Fed passing four rate hikes next year, one more than the currently telegraphed three. Speaking to CNBC, Dimon said, "It's possible that inflation is worse than people think. I, personally, would be surprised if it's just four increases this year. Four would be very easy for the economy to absorb."

    Looking ahead, the Bureau of Labor Statistics is set to release December's Consumer Price Index Friday, which is currently expected to show a 7.0% jump in year-over-year prices, the largest jump since 1982. This could also spark more volatility.

    Moreover, at the end of the week, big financial institutions, including JP Morgan (JPM), Blackrock (BLK), Citigroup, and Wells Fargo (WFC) will earnings Friday morning before the opening bell.

    Highlights

    • Intel (INTC) analysts gave a nod of approval to the chipmaker on its move to recruit Micron's (MU) David Zinsner to serve as Chief Financial Officer as part of a broader shakeup by CEO Pat Gelsinger. "Intel now has a 'dream team,' with 'one of the best CEOs and one of the best CFOs in the semiconductor industry,'" Citi analysts said. Zinsner "has driven higher operating margins at every public company he has been CFO at."
    • The National Federation of Independent Business reported that its Small Business Optimism Index rose 0.5 point to 98.9 last month. Of small business owners who responded to the organization's survey, 22% said inflation was their primary operating concern — up from 18% in November.
    • Tesla Inc sold 70,847 China-made vehicles in December, the highest monthly rate since it started manufacturing in Shanghai in 2019, data from the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) showed on Tuesday.
    • The U.S. judge hearing the Federal Trade Commission's antitrust case against Facebook said on Tuesday that he would not dismiss the government's lawsuit.
    • Bank of America, the second-largest U.S. bank, is reducing overdraft fees from $35 to $10 starting in May and will stop charging overdraft fees in February.
    • Twitter (TWTR) has become a minority stakeholder in digital advertising company Aleph. CEO of Aleph said, "We are honored to have Twitter as an investor in Aleph. Their investment is a clear endorsement of our efforts to educate a new generation of digital professionals equally around the globe."
    • Back Market, the French marketplace dedicated to refurbished smartphones and electronic devices, said on Tuesday it had closed an investment round of $510 million, bringing its total valuation to $5.7 billion.
    • Nvidia is launching a new 12GB model of its RTX 3080 today. Revealed initially in Nvidia's latest GeForce drivers, the new 12GB model goes on sale today from select board partners and offers 2GB more memory than the original 10GB RTX 3080.
    • NVIDIA and Arm submitted a 28-page written submission to the UK's Competition and Markets Authority outlining why the $40 billion acquisition should be approved. In it, both companies accuse critics of "romanticizing" Arm's history, ignoring the company's current financial condition, and overstating Arm's market power. Arm's energy-efficient chip designs are used in 95% of the world's smartphones and 95% of the chips designed in China.
    • Block (SQ) is reportedly working on building its own application-specific integrated circuit designed to mine digital currencies.
    • Amazon (AMZN) target raised by Morgan Stanley from $4000 to $4200.

    Which themes do you think will take off in 2022?

    Posted: 12 Jan 2022 05:57 AM PST

    I bought healthcare technology & innovation ETFs last week. And now I am thinking about investing in other themes that I think will be top in 2022:

    - Cybersecurity

    - Natural resources

    - AI and big data

    - 5G

    - eCommerce

    I am looking for more options from y'all as to which themes you are planning to buy for 2022. I am also considering using some platforms to guide me in choosing what ETFs to invest in since I also heard some folks say that they are currently using Trackinsight, Fidelity, and Acorns. According to them, it really helped them in getting the whole picture of thematic ETFs and useful for starting out. Any thoughts on this?

    Questions about index funds

    Posted: 11 Jan 2022 11:47 PM PST

    Hi all

    I am sorry for this beginner question. I looked in the search results but could not find a similar question.

    Background:

    My understanding is there are index funds which track the biggest and most successful companies.

    If we enter a depression, the price of this index fund will go down due to all of these individual stocks dropping in price.

    I would like to be able to buy shares in the index fund during the depression, and sell them when we exit the depression, ideally making a profit.

    Questions:

    1. Can you buy and sell shares in an index fund like this (buy and sell whenever you want, pocketing any profit), or do these index funds force you to hold the shares for a certain amount of time, or make it difficult to sell when you want to sell?

    2. Is my idea sound (🤪 bUy loW sEll hIgh 🤪) or am I missing something obvious here which makes it a dumb idea?

    Thanks for your patience with me.

    Why Yesterday Was A Lot Of Fun . . .

    Posted: 11 Jan 2022 06:58 PM PST

    "The wisest rule in investment is: when others are selling, buy. When others are buying, sell. Usually, of course, we do the opposite. When everyone else is buying, we assume they know something we don't, so we buy. Then people start selling, panic sets in, and we sell too" . . . Jonathan Sacks

    Yesterday, as many of us experienced, was a roller coaster. I actually love those sessions. At one point, I was down over $20-22k (which I noted on another Reddit thread). Numerous buying opportunities presented themselves yesterday, e.g., LRCX, NVDA, COIN, TTWO, FB, etc. I always try to maintain a certain amount of "dry powder" for these opportunities. I bought COIN, NVDA; and, added to a couple of existing positions, ATVI and BA. By the end of yesterday's session I managed to eke out a $1k gain. Fast forward to today's session, those moves resulted in a $20k plus day (link) https://i.imgur.com/335ISpV.jpg

    Looking to better my trading in 2022 and any help would be awesome

    Posted: 11 Jan 2022 10:38 PM PST

    I'm looking to get better at trading as well learning signs in the market and learning overall more about the stock market in general. I have been in it for a year now and know basics. I haven't dove into options yet but I am looking to just become a more consistent smarter knowledgeable trader. Any great resources that you read everyday to know what's going on, resources you use to find new trades or setups, rules you follow to be a consistent trader. The internet can be overwhelming as everyone on it can "make you a millionaire by following these 3 simple trading rules" and I'm just looking for better resources to tap into. I don't want the WSB loss porn bet my life kind of education. I wasn't lucky enough to ever take economics or business courses in college as I wasn't interested in them at the time so I am on my own for the education on this. Any guidance or resources that you use frequently would be awesome

    Question on fractional stock buying

    Posted: 11 Jan 2022 06:05 PM PST

    My understanding of buying a fractional stock though one of the apps available is that you don't actually own the stock so you don't get dividends and your stocks don't increase in a stock split, is that right? And if it does does that change once you have bought the " whole " stock?

    Like if I wanted to buy a fractional stock that cost 500$ and I buy 250$ a month and I did that for like 5 months so I have 2 full shares and 1 half share and they did a stock split would I get the 2 whole ones doubled and nothing on the half?

    Sorry if this doesn't make sense I'm just starting investing

    Morning Update for Tuesday, 1/11/22

    Posted: 11 Jan 2022 06:23 AM PST

    Good morning everyone, happy Tuesday.

    These posts are for informational purposes only. I am not a financial advisor.

    Main Watchlist:

    Gapping UP:

    • AMD
    • TSM
    • BILL
    • UTHR
    • JD
    • LAC

    Gapping DOWN:

    • IBM
    • MRNA
    • RIVN
    • ACI
    • NUE
    • PACB

    Momentum Watchlist:

    • TSRI
    • BDTX
    • MFGP

    Market Outlook:

    Stocks are looking to open a bit higher this morning after a whipsaw session yesterday. We saw a considerable sell-off in the morning, followed by some nice strength in the afternoon. I'm expecting the volatility to continue today, and we should see some nice intraday price movement. It's worth noting that Treasury yields are still at high levels, with the 10-year yield reaching its highest level since January 2020. Don't want to raise any alarm, but the market crashed soon after this the last time it was this high. Because of this, I'll be cautious.

    Remember to use proper risk management; size appropriately for your account and have a plan for every trade you enter. Happy trading everyone :)
