Hello, I’ve been looking into investing in stocks and was wondering if anybody would be willing to help me out and maybe give a few pointers.
$MU anything with tech buzzwords will blowup any stock in this market. Nice move!
I thought beating earnings was a good thing... I screwed up and bought at $120 a share, will it come back?
Easy monetary policy from global central banks has done a lot to help the global economy grow after the downturn of the Great Recession. Although the economy has continued to grow, it is not without consequence. This grand experiment that central banks have done is exactly that, an experiment. No one really knows what the consequences will be with such a policy, and no one really knows when it is time to stop the experiment.
The monetary policy is simple to understand; keep interest rates low, and liquidity high. Interest rates are a tool that central banks have to either help boost an economy or slow it down. Typically, central banks will lower interest rates to help spur economic activity, while they raise them to slow it down.
In theory, lowering rates should help spur economic development because it makes it easier for people and companies to borrow money. They then use this cash for economic activity. Vice versa, if interest rates are raised, it makes borrowing costlier and thus slows down economic activity. Since the Great Recession was so drastic and harmful to the economy, interest rates were brought down to extremely low levels and for an extended period of time.
Not only were interest rates lowered to unprecedented levels, quantitative easing was used to increase the money supply. Quantitative easing was another response to the damaged economy from the Great Recession. In order to decrease interest rates in bond markets, central banks began to purchase large quantities of bonds through the open market. This in turn lowered rates along the yield curve, and increased the money supply. With more money in the system, it increases the supply and lowers the cost of borrowing. This in turn should increase the demand for cash, using simple supply-and-demand theory.
Now, all of this easing is bound to cause market reactions. For one, there is artificial demand created by central banks in the bond market. There is also a massive amount of liquidity in the market because of the large amount of money supply. And lastly, suppressing interest rates for such an extended amount of time can also pose a problem.
Artificial Demand for Bonds
Artificial demand for bonds means that the prices for bonds have raised, and investors have gained from it. With the central banks around the world inflating the asset, they are also drawing more demand for the asset because they know the central banks are helping the returns. It is like having insurance on your investments. In the beginning the Federal Reserve was basically guaranteeing that rates would go down, and your investment would rise in value. All of this demand for bonds pushed prices up, and made them more expensive.
This has also helped raise the prices of stocks that have higher dividend yields, and stocks that are linked to interest rates. For example, demand for utility stocks have grown and pushed up their valuation. When interest rates are low, utility companies have less costs associated with running their businesses and this helps grow their balance sheet. When interest rates are higher, they have more costs, and their balance sheet weakens. So as interest rates lower, the stock prices go up, but when they rise, the stock prices lower. Also, since these companies typically pay out a dividend, investors are looking to these companies to supplement the lack of income they are receiving from bonds.
When the artificial demand goes away, it will inevitably lower bond prices, raise interest rates, and cause losses for bond holders. What is worrisome is that there are now products that guarantee daily liquidity for an illiquid asset. Bond ETFs can be a problem in a time of panic. Why might there be a panic in the bond market?
A 30 plus year bond bull market may be coming to a halt. In 1981, the 10-year treasury rate was above 15%, and in July of 2016 the rate fell to 1.49%. Because of such a long market run, a lot of investors may not know how to handle a fall in their bond investments. With the inclusion of ETFs, investors can jump ship much easier than traditional bondholders, so they are more likely to do so. This will make their impact swift and painful, causing larger losses. Seeing large losses on bonds can make the other investors jump ship as well. As investors start to jump it will raise interest rates more and more until demand comes back.
For stocks, the higher interest rates are going to hurt the utility companies, and it will cause lower stock prices. The increased demand for dividends will also shrink because investors will eventually want to leave the higher risk asset class in stocks, and they will want to move back into fixed income.
High Liquidity
Higher liquidity has helped push all asset prices higher, stocks and bonds. When this liquidity starts to vanish, it should have the opposite effect, and prices should lower. This should mainly effect the bond market though since central banks are using it to add cash into the system. The stock market does have high valuations, but they are not inflated like the bond market. Sure, utility stocks will likely take a hit as well as inflated dividend stocks, but the strong economy makes an argument for the above average valuations in the rest of the market.
Suppressed Interest Rates
In the Austrian school of economics, suppressed interest rates are seen as a terrible thing. The idea behind it is that since interest rates are so low, investors and companies are willing to take on more debt than they otherwise would. This in turn will cause bad investments because borrowers have such an easy supply of cash. Eventually these bad investments, which would not have been funded during a normal interest rate period, will fail and harm the economy in the long run. Now central banks say they are being careful, and do not necessarily see a lot of bad investments taking place. However, a look into auto-loans shows an eerily similar picture to the financial crisis.
Millions of cars have been sold over the last few years. In fact, there have been record breaking sales numbers over this time period. However, when you look into the loans themselves, there are an alarmingly large number of investors that did not qualify for the loans. These sub-prime loans were the cause of the housing crisis, and now there is a buildup of them in the auto-loan sector. Sure, this time it may be different, for one cars are not as big of an asset as housing, but this does give some sense of how persistently low rates can lead to bad investments.
The Unintended Consequences
In the end, all we can really say is that interest rates are going to go back up. Unfortunately, we cannot claim that they will go up fast, slow, or somewhere in between, and we cannot predict exactly how policy normalization will affect the markets and the greater economy. Using our assumptions though, there are two main takeaways. One, bond investors are going to lose money as rates go up. This could cause panic, especially now that ETFs have become a factor. Two, utility stocks and dividend paying stocks are likely to take a hit from the rise of interest rates as well. Utility companies will lose profit from the rise of rates, and dividend paying stocks will falter because bonds will eventually look more attractive to income focused investors.
Only time will tell if the low interest rates will cause bad investments, but this experiment of easy money will be looked at for generations to come. Just like the Great Depression, the Great Recession will be looked at for its faults and its glories. Economists will look back at this time period and will decipher the causes and effects of all of the policies that have been implemented, and whether or not the outcomes were worth the risks. Just as the Federal Reserve and economists everywhere learned from the Great Depression, the Great Recession will hopefully prepare us for the next large economic downturn.
Thank you for reading, and happy trading!

I’m looking for a website/app that has real time stock market prices and everything a professional trader uses, but to be able to use fake money instead of my own real money.
Is this possible?
(new here, so this might be a stupid question/one that you've heard a million times) Does the market adjust when a company releases a new product, or does its price not go up as much as one might think? Like if apple releases the new iPhone or if Microsoft drops a new Xbox or something, wouldn't it be easy to drop some money in before the release?

I have 100 shares of Apple stock. They were purchased at 122.55. I'm wondering if I should sell after ER and purchase Baozun stock before their ER (which is estimated to be on 11/15).
If Apple's earnings are a beat and guidance is good, I can see the share price settling around $170 after the expected rise. Baozun stock may run up into earnings, but I think I can get in around $32 per share. If Baozun's earnings are a beat and guidance is good, I can see this running up into the $45-$50 range.
Cashing out at $50 and re-entering Apple (somewhere between $170 and $175) as they are on their way to a trillion dollar market cap ($202 per share) would be my next possible move.
What are your thoughts?

For years, asset managers have tried to convince investors that they need to pay experts to guide them through the ups and downs of investing. These payments have been in the form of commissions, asset fees and performance fees, among others. Traditionally, brokers received commissions on transactions as a cost of doing business. From my own experience as a young trader in the 1980's and 1990's, a typical $5,000 to $10,000 trade would cost around $40 to $60 using a full-service broker. However, with the advent of automated online trading, the cost of equity trading has dropped dramatically. In 2017, the average cost for an online trade is typically between $5 and $7 for most self-directed trades. This amounts to roughly a 90% reduction in the cost of transactions. Investors who are not comfortable managing their own assets can employ the services of professional asset managers. Asset managers deriving their fees predominantly from brokerage fees not only charge higher (full-service) commissions but can also be motivated to trade more frequently or even purchase loaded funds with higher upfront commissions in order to increase revenue. To combat this temptation of over-trading, investors can place their assets with asset managers who base their fees on the total amount of Assets Under Management (AUM). Most institutional asset managers offer an AUM fee structure with a stylized investment approach based upon the specific needs of the individual investor. AUM fees typically range from 0.25% to 1.5% depending upon the total AUM. AUM's less than $250,000 typically result in an annual fee totaling 1% to 1.5% of the managed assets. AUM's greater than $5,000,000 typically result in an annual fee totaling 0.25% to 0.75% of the managed assets. While AUM fees are fairly common, the main drawback is that no performance incentive is built into the fee structure. Considering that the majority of fund managers fail to beat the market averages, there is little justification to use an active fund manager purely for fund performance versus just investing in passive Index mutual funds with fees as low as 0.15%. CAUTION: Expense fees for S&P500 Index funds have ranged from 0.15% to 1.6% so choose your index fund carefully. During the 1990's, Hedge Funds flourished by offering targeted investment strategies with fees at least partially based upon performance. The typical Hedge Fund fee is comprised of an asset fee and a performance fee. Asset fees are typically 1.5% to 2% of AUM and performance fees are typically 15% to 20% of fund performance. While this fee structure does include an incentive to outperform the markets, the fund manager can still collect above-average AUM fees even if the Hedge Fund does not show a positive return. This relatively high fee structure necessitates that fund managers consistently outperform the market by a significant margin. Unfortunately, despite the initial success, Hedge Fund performance has been declining in recent years. In 2016, Bloomberg Gadfly reported that 10-year rolling returns for Hedge Funds have been consistently falling since 1999. This has led to an exodus from managed mutual funds and Hedge Funds into cheaper market index funds. As a result, these actively-managed funds have had to re-think their fee structure for the informed, cost-conscious investor. In summary, Hedge Fund returns peaked during the late 1990's and have been in steady decline ever since. The bottom line is that informed investors do have options available to reduce their fee exposure. High fees are not mandatory to play on Wall Street.

Also, TMUS reported earnings yesterday - TMUS reported strong financial numbers in the third quarter of 2017. While the company’s net income outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate, revenues were almost in line. The company also raised its financial outlook for 2017. T-Mobile US gained added net 0.595 million branded postpaid phone customers, 0.222 million branded postpaid other customers, 0.226 million branded prepaid customers and 0.286 million wholesale customers.
I have owned TMUS for over 4 months now and its breakeven at this point since it trades in a very narrow range most days. But consensus target price is 16% higher than today's close.

I have a lot of questions about this ETF and I don't truly understand it, so if anyone could help out here, that would be great.
How exactly does this ETF work? I understand that it represents the inverse of the general Dow trend, but that this is not an ETF that one would buy and hold and it seems that the strategy is "buy at a price you believe to be cheap, set a limit order for a potentially large payout in a market panic."
As the Dow continues to rise and $DXD continues to become cheaper and cheaper, is it worth throwing in some, with the idea that history always repeats itself and there will be a market panic at some point or another?
One last question; it seems this is a "leveraged ETF." I understand that "leveraged" means to invest on borrowed money, however does this affect the people investing in it? In other words, is someone who is purchasing this ETF, like any other ETF exposed to the leveraged risk? Or, if I were to invest $2000 and the ETF peters out before a panic, I'm only liable for that $2000 and nothing more?
Thanks in advance for any help! Looking forward to discussion.
So overwatch player count has continued to go up over the summer and even though summer releases arent good for video game companies the increase in player count should more than compensate for that and there should be good guidance for the Q4 earning report on november 2nd. And well timed there's gonna be a new call of duty on the 3rd. I'd hold it till mid day since generally speaking the stock has a history of going up maybe .50% on COD release dates and tanks every time call of duty has bad sales and most likely its going to under perform so I'd say you can probably get a good short term gain of 4% if you withdraw at the right time and then let the stock tank and rebuy it in anticipation for the winter gainz

A July 19 research report indicated GMP Securities "initiated coverage on Cobalt 27 Capital Corp. (KBLT:TSX.V; CBLLF:OTC; 27O:FSE) with a Buy rating and a CA$ 12 per share target price," wrote analyst Anoop Prihar.
Generally, Cobalt 27 "offers direct leverage to cobalt price appreciation," Prihar noted. The company owns 2,158.8 tons of physical cobalt and a portfolio of cobalt royalties and aims to "secure additional cobalt royalties and streaming contracts" in the future.
GMP Securities forecasts "a one year forward, premium-grade cobalt price of US$ 38 per pound (US$ 29.75/pound currently), which drives our valuation" for Cobalt 27, wrote the analyst. http://ift.tt/2yNo15V

What is on everyone's radar for today's trading day ahead here at r/StockMarket?
This is probably a stupid question but I need to be sure. I'm a noob and I don't plan to trade, need to know because I'm doing a project.
If I was to calculate if the stock price went up/stayed the same or down on a day, would it be (close - open) or would it be close(current-day) - close(previous-day)
One of the most frustrating charts to trade during 2017 has been almost any chart in the metals complex. In fact, if you speak to most metals investors, you would almost think that they have incurred a huge loss in 2017.
But, that is far from the truth. In fact, since we caught the low around 107 in the GLD at the end of 2016, we have seen it rally almost 20% off those lows when it struck its 2017 high back in early September. As I write this article, we are still 13% off those lows.
Even though we still have seen a nicely positive year for GLD to date, the sentiment is one of despondency and despair. You see, the complex has had multiple opportunities to strongly break out during 2017, but has failed to reach escape velocity despite several set ups to do so. And this has likely caused the negative sentiment pervasive through the market, despite the positive return year. In fact, the best categorization of the sentiment I am seeing in the market is indifference.
But, in order for us to develop the appropriate sentiment which will finally set us up to develop escape velocity in the complex, we will likely have to drop again into the end of the year, and begin to hear claims of $1,000 gold and lower. And, to be honest, many of those calls have already begun.
Lastly, I want to bring up one more issue I have addressed in the past, as I have been getting a lot of questions about it recently. For those that are looking for a long term vehicle within which to invest should we see the bigger pullback I am looking for in the complex, I would avoid using the GLD (as I see it as more of a trading vehicle), and I have explained why in detail in one of my webinars.
Price pattern sentiment indications and upcoming expectations:
Unfortunately, due to the inability of the GLD to break out in a strong fashion, it has become much less likely that we see a rally take us through the 2016 highs in a meaningful way just yet. Rather, while we may still make one more attempt at testing the 2016 high struck in the GLD, it is likely that most of the gain earned in 2017 may be wiped out before the end of the year.
And, if we will see one more rally over the next few weeks which does re-test or even slightly exceeds the 2016 highs struck by the GLD, I would be viewing that move quite skeptically, as it may simply be designed to develop more bullishness in the complex before the trap door opens.
But, despite the potentially non-productive year we may see in the GLD for 2017, I think 2018 can finally provide us with a strong move higher, and it may begin within the first month of the year. In fact, if the GLD is able to begin a strong rally early in the year, it is entirely possible we can see as high as the 150 region by the end of the first quarter of 2017. While I cannot say this is a high probability just yet, as I need to see how the last two months of the year play out, I am seeing evidence of the potential to see a rally which can be even stronger than the one we experienced in early 2016.
Of corse I am pursuing a degree in accounting, and by no way is this question insinuating that i will ditch college. I never really thought you needed a formal college degree to pass your series 7 test and become a licensed trader (my goal). Do the firms often require a degree? Is an accounting degree more appealing to a firm?
I’m starting to look closely at where to invest in VR. Now is the time. I’m just not sure where. I think the thing to do is look at the people. Find the most revolutionary people behind the tech and look into the companies they are working with. I thought I’d post here to see if anyone has been looking into VR also and may have some areas of interest to share. Thanks

The parent company of online search giant Google, Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL), is scheduled to report its third quarter earnings results on Thursday, 26th October. Alphabet stock has remained under pressure since the last quarter earnings only to make a slight recovery recently. The company had delivered a beat on both the top and bottom line in Q2, yet the Mountainview, California-based company shares tanked after the earnings. The tech behemoth had reported $ 5.01 per share in EPS against analysts expectation of an EPS of $ 4.49. Alphabet revenues were also above estimates by a big margin of $ 410 million at $ 26.01 billion, translating into yet another quarter of double-digit revenue growth. Google stock has still not made a complete recovery. GOOGL stock is almost flat since the last quarter earnings. http://ift.tt/2xl5s6a
