    RobinHood Increases Margin Interest Rate From 2.5% to 3%.

    Posted: 16 Feb 2022 12:26 PM PST

    Hi Friends,

    I just got THIS eMail from RobinHood, saying they will increase their annual margin interest rate from 2.5% to 3% as of March 23rd.

    With some all-time highs for margin debt, how do you think this rate increase will effect the markets?

    Why do news outlets such as Bloomberg only state the points the index's lost or gained and not percentage?

    Posted: 16 Feb 2022 12:46 PM PST

    I often listen to the news and even Bloomberg radio and when they announce the stock market index they almost always state "The dow is down x points, the nasdaq x points, S&P x points". Like, how does that mean anything without percentages??! It drives me crazy.

    Why own Gold?

    Posted: 16 Feb 2022 09:29 PM PST

    From Global Investing

    • No other financial or physical asset has been as reliable a store of value over long periods of time as gold
    • Gold and Silver were money for centuries
    • Over long periods of time, gold and silver have had real returns near zero
      • But the effectiveness as a long-term inflation hedge and insurance against economic and political upheavals, make them worthy of inclusion
    • If gold has a real expected return of 0%, why hold it?
      • Insurance against catastrophic changes such as economic collapse or hyperinflation.
      • Gold and Silver tend to become money during periods of crisis.
      • Gold and Silver tend to be inflation hedges, but not perfectly reliable ones.
      • Gold and Silver has low correlations with other assets making them a powerful diversification tool to reduce portfolio risk
      • When traditional assets perform poorly, gold fares well
      • Silver tracks gold, but has had a higher correlation to other assets and is thus not as good a diversifier as gold
    • In 1960, gold accounted for 3.7% of investable global assets.
    • By 1980, (when metal prices peaked) Gold and Silver made up 14% of the world's investable assets
    • By 1990, as stock and bond prices soared, that had dropped to 3%
    • The silver market is very thin compared to gold
    • Commodities futures have low correlations with other assets.
      • Commodities and bonds tend to act opposite each other
      • Why? Commodity futures are claims to real assets, while bonds are claims to money payments
    • Gold was more volatile than commodity futures but had a better return.

    From Devil Take the Hindmost

    • When governments find their formal currency arrangements disintegrating, the speculator becomes a convenient scapegoat
    • Nixon suspended the convertibility of the dollar to gold on August 15, 1971
    • Whenever speculation got out of hand and a financial crisis appeared, everyone seeks refuge in the precious metal Gold. Gold represents the antithesis of speculative values
    • The best hedge against the chronic inflation of the period could be found in commodities and precious metals

    From 4 Pillars

    • PM funds have low expected return. But they are almost perfectly uncorrelated with the market and during global market meltdown, they are likely to do well. PM are also a hedge against inflation. But be careful with PM. Because you will be going against the market and you need to rebalance during. You will be selling when everyone on TV is saying to BUY and you will be buying when everything is good and people will tell you how dumb that is.
    • PM, REIT's, Emerging Market, Small Cap International bring more to the table than the returns would suggest IF YOU REBALANCE!!!! YOU HAVE TO REBALANCE THESE FUNDS

    Have I fucked up?

    Posted: 16 Feb 2022 04:08 PM PST

    Saved up a load of money during the pandemic. Invested in companies like TSLA, SQ, PLTR, ETSY, PLTR, SE, TTD based on Reddit and Twitter discussions. Almost all of these are now down 30-50% (except TSLA which many people think is still in a bubble). Since then I have learnt more about historical multiples, how to assess companies, things to track on quarterly earnings. However initially I was trigger happy and had just seen that I'd missed out on 2021 where everything doubled or trebled and didn't pay enough attention to risk. Am I an idiot to HODL these companies now?

    Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger “p---ed” off at what he calls perma-bears.

    Posted: 16 Feb 2022 12:02 PM PST

    https://finance.yahoo.com/news/intel-ceo-tired-wall-street-140000225.html

    Intel Corp. Chief Executive Officer Pat Gelsinger, who took the job in February 2021, gives himself an A- grade for his first year running the chipmaker.

    In a Bloomberg Television interview, Gelsinger acknowledged that Intel's comeback won't happen overnight but slammed Wall Street analysts for sticking to a negative view. The executive said he's "p---ed" off at what he calls perma-bears. But Gelsinger believes that others are getting excited about the company restoring its prowess and creating "the new old Intel."

    "In some regards, we're ahead of where I thought we'd be; in some areas, we're not as far as I thought we'd be," Gelsinger told Emily Chang in a "Bloomberg Studio 1.0" conversation airing Wednesday night. "And it really is more a statement of the massive challenge in front of us."

    Within a few weeks of rejoining the company, Gelsinger outlined an aggressive strategy aimed at reclaiming the manufacturing leadership that his predecessors had allowed to slip. He followed that up with his plans to rebuild production in the U.S. and Europe, aiming to counterbalance a shift of manufacturing to Asia. He's also lobbied for billions of dollars in government support.

    WIRE —- Best Opportunity in the market??!

    Posted: 16 Feb 2022 06:57 PM PST

    WIRE reported an excellent quarter (massive beat on eps), gave positive guidance, and had zero red flags in the earnings call. The stock sold off 10%…I've seen this previously with Nucor and other steel mill stocks, and have always jumped on calls to bank a big profit. I'm not familiar with wire aside from the past 2 hours of research I've done. Can anyone talk me out of buying calls on this???

    How come I can buy puts for a higher price then a stock?

    Posted: 16 Feb 2022 04:25 PM PST

    I am new to stocks and just beginning to learn about options, from my understanding buying a put means that you believe the stock will go down, or to protect your hedge. Why can you buy puts for more than what a stock is worth? Ex. Stock is $14, you can buy a put for $15.

    Edit: thank you everyone for all the advice I understand it know after some more youtube research

    Feedback Please: Examples of failed/poor stocks

    Posted: 16 Feb 2022 12:09 PM PST

    Hello friends. Like others I try to learn as much about investing and the businesses I invest in. I try to figure out what stock is a good investment for my money in advance and monitor it for performance over time. There are a lot of examples of "good" investments, but I am also interested in what a "bad" investment looks like, but besides some of the more well known stock failures, it is hard to find "common" examples.

    I am looking for stocks that:

    • Completely failed with closure or bankruptcy
    • Left the market and went back to private
    • Performed so bad it was removed from the main stock exchanges and went to OTC
    • And other examples

    What stock do you know of that are a good example of a failed or poor performing investment stock wise?

    Here are a few that I can think of off the top of my head, but looking for all examples for my education:

    • WISH
    • BEBE

    Fastly ($FSLY) earnings question

    Posted: 17 Feb 2022 12:28 AM PST

    So I'm quite new to the whole investing thing and have kept an eye on cloud computing in the last year witht the obvious choice of Cloudlflare. Sometime in mid Oktober 2020 Fastly was hyped as well but has fallen super far from where they were.

    As I understand they have missed several earnings and didn't meet expectations in growth while Cloudlflare exceeded.

    Yesterday, Fastly published the earnings for Q4/21 and, according to their web page, increased their revenue by 13%. However the stock got beat down heavily right after earnings.

    Now my question: Can someone explain/interpret the earnings for me? I'm not that smart in economics and not a nativ speaker so the financial English is quite a challenge for me.

    Thanks for all input!
