    What would you do if you inherited a million dollars right now? How would you invest it?

    Posted: 21 Feb 2022 05:41 AM PST

    The bubble is bursting so we are on the edge of ATH's and dropping, there are several rate hikes around the corner, and the state of world affairs is an unknown with a good chance for war. Bear markets are where millionaires are made and interest rates today are still negligible and not worth committing to. What would you do with a million dollars? How would you invest it?

    BABA - 12,000 shares, $600K Loss, but BIG GAINS to come

    Posted: 21 Feb 2022 09:03 AM PST

    Yes I have a huge position in BABA. I originally started this post to simply upload a screen shot, but apparently this sub doesn't allow pictures ? (Strange)

    Let's discuss BABA pre earnings.

    Estimates are actually low, considering they had their largest singles day in history this past quarter and the ramp up to host the Olympics.

    BABA has a $15B buy back program in place. We know they have already bought back $3.7B worth of shares at much higher prices. I would imagine they have doubled that purchase amount since NOV. will have a positive impact on EPS.

    LAZADA - most people have NO clue BABA owns LAZADA. This is the Amazon of South East Asia and not only is it huge, but it's growing at 81% per year. BABA said they plan for it to do $100B in GMV. To put that into perspective, Amazon does $600B. So just this teeny little segment of BABA that almost no one knows about, is set to do 1/6 of Amazon's total business.

    China has not only lowered their rates, while the US is raising rates, but they have also started multi billion dollar stimulus. I personally think there is going to be a bull run on China stocks. Look at their market compared to 2009 US market. It looks very similar.

    Data Centers, Cloud Computing and now In House chip development all add to the reasons why I'm super heavy and super long on BABA shares.

    I Believe markets move based on media cycles, so I buy on fundamentals when the media is negative. Anyone that speaks negative about BABA never mentions financials, they simply regurgitate main stream media talking points "China crack down" "potential delisting" it's my view the media talking points will change to "China bull market" "US investors looking over seas for cheap stocks" but that will all come when BABA is already back over $200.

    Just my train of thought, we shall see what happens after earnings. Good luck to all !

    How to filter out all the bullshit noise as a normal investor.

    Posted: 21 Feb 2022 06:04 AM PST

    There is a flood of "I told you so" posts from the doomsayers right now. The problem is that they have been saying this shit since about 2016. Now they are taking a 10% dip as validation and everyone is upvoting them. Fact is: if you listened to these idiots for the last 8 years, you'd have missed out on a lot of gains.

    So what does a simple investor do? I bought this dip and am down about 5%. Now I'm looking at people saying that the large cap stocks are going to be the last to fall and I should sell. But 99/100 people saying that are wrong.

    So what. Are we on the verge of an actual recession? Where is the proof and evidence in any of this?

    Can talk about Analyst Ratings and Price targets?

    Posted: 21 Feb 2022 05:52 AM PST

    I think Tesla is the best example of Wall street pumping stocks and setting ridiculous price targets only because they have to. If there Price target gets met and they have a lot of clients holding the stock what do they do, raise the price even higher. Why? Because they can and because they have to set a new goal post. If you have a price target of $500 on Tesla and its at $600, how does that look? Overvalued. Momentum is there, so you raise it to $1000. Analyst price targets should be more tightly regulated by the SEC to protect investors.

    A little worried about the future, what should I focus on?

    Posted: 21 Feb 2022 07:40 AM PST

    Hi everyone, I am 23 and two years ago I started a little passive savings plan with my bank into Morgan Stanley Global Brands Fund C. I am really interested in investing but I have little knowledge. At the moment I am also trying to get my first "real" job after my education years where I had a part time job. The current situation of the world is not at the best (pandemic, war threat, job quit around the world, panic for a recession) but I am not too afraid, I understand that this is the market and you have to deal with stress and uncertainty constantly. Do you think I should worry less about the world and the performance of my investments, since I am young and there is time later? Should I concentrate more on getting on a good career path? I am asking this because I don't think I have enough energy to get a good career and also learn about stocks and also living my life and it is all too much to deal with.

    Do you think PayPal and Facebook will recover anytime soon?

    Posted: 21 Feb 2022 08:34 AM PST

    I have made huge mistake investing too much in these 2 companies. Just wanted to average down, but I went too far. My losses are about 40% on each. I have no faith in individual stocks anymore, just what to break-even somehow and invest 100% in VTI/VOO. I would like to cut my losses, but I don't even have any profits to offset taxes. What do you think about these companies, do you think they will recover anytime soon?

    Question about stock buybacks.

    Posted: 21 Feb 2022 09:09 AM PST

    I recently learned that FB has done alot of stock buyback in its 4th quarter.

    that got me thinking, why didnt they wait to do the stock buyback until AFTER their earnings? i mean they already knew before hand what they were about to say was bad. and most likely would drop their stock price (even if it they didnt know it was goign to tank, they would have known it would drop atleast).

    why didnt they wait for their stock buybacks until after their earnings call and seeing how the market reacts to their news?

    that way they would have bought their shares at a very steep discount.

    how to own a stock in time for ex dividend date?

    Posted: 21 Feb 2022 09:16 AM PST

    If a certain stock is ex dividend tomorrow, would I be entitled to that dividend if I placed an order for the stock today and had that order filled today? Or would I be too late, because of the time needed to settle a trade? I trade through T. Rowe Price brokerage.

    S&P Chinese equivalent

    Posted: 21 Feb 2022 03:41 AM PST

    Hi r/stocks,

    I'm a passive investor, usually just buying VOO/VTI for the long term and basically never selling (at least 10 years). Im considering diversifying my portfolio with other markets so I considered Chinese or Asian markets in general. I read a bit online and my shortlist is AIA/GCX/WCHN. Anything else I should consider or anything more similar to VTI/VOO?

    Thanks!

    To the veterans who went through the 2008 housing crash and\or the 2001 dot com crash.

    How much did you lose? What percentage of your net worth did you lose? How long did it take you to recover?

    As someone who lost 40% of his net worth this year, it would be great to hear your long term journeys.

    Portfolio of Stocks/ETFs

    Posted: 21 Feb 2022 09:43 AM PST

    Within a portfolio I believe it is good to have a well diversified selection of stocks and ETFs but how many ETFs are too many? You don't want them to overlap and be inefficient.

    How many positions do you hold and then how many of those are broken down into an individual stock and how many are a ETF?

    I am shooting for 15 positions with roughly 6 or 7 being the individual stocks while the rest are one broad ETF like VTI and the others are an ETF that cover the sector I choose to invest in. Thoughts on this and does anyone have a similar strategy?

    SHORT: Exposure to venture capital

    Posted: 21 Feb 2022 06:55 AM PST

    I am convinced that the private market is where there is the biggest bubble.

    As there are no instruments I am aware of to short private VC funds, I was wondering if there are listed companies that are LP's in VC's with a significant share of their book to short them.

    Question on fund "FSMEX" A fidelity fund

    Posted: 21 Feb 2022 07:05 AM PST

    Ever since Sept 24, 2021, this stock has gradually gone down. I happen to have all my options in this fund, as it performed well before and during the pandemic.

    But what is astounding me is that, This has dropped from 88 (sept21) to 68 (present) in a steady decline, and i haven't found ANY articles or references to why? normally there's a reddit post or two, but all info on this stock is from last year and talking about how good it is.

    I just wanted to see if anyone knew or had an idea why its on a steady decline, and if you think i should switch my fidelity accounts or stay with this one?

    Using Finviz, what are the best filters to find stocks with the following shape?

    Posted: 21 Feb 2022 01:49 AM PST

    Hello everyone.

    I am trying to optimize a way for finding optionable stocks with the following shape. As you can see, there is a huge gap which was created a few trading days ago. Ideally, I would like to find stocks with the same shape which are about to issue dividends within the next few days/weeks.

    In Finviz, I think I was able to find those potential stocks using the following filters:

    • Dividend yield: Positive
    • 52 Week High/Low: 30% or more below high
    • Average volume: over 1M
    • Option/Short: Optionable

    One thing I could not find is a way of filtering by stocks which are about to issue dividends.

    Any suggestion is highly welcome.
