Seems odd that Apple share price has risen the past week despite iphone production grinding to a standstill due to the coronavirus in China. Reports from six days ago says their biggest iphone plant is closed and a smaller plant is 'barely open', anyone with more recent news? Share price is disconnected from facts in a bubble. | ||

Be smart with your choices if you have a lot of money in the market right now. Thinking long term may not work in certain sectors, world events are likely occurring that may bankrupt many eastern companies and hurt some western ones for a long time. | ||

That's bad investment advice for the vast majority of people trying to build wealth. How much are you supposed to have in industrials? 11.2%? Tech? 24.234%? Brexit, ebola and even this is just noise. Own all the sectors and that bad companies leave the index and new companies emerge. What is "being smart" for a retail investor? watching CNBC? motley fool? reading news? What makes you think the market hasn't priced in all that information? | ||

What happens when you throw money at people who stop working? Not even at people, just the percentage that owns the majority of stocks. Either way I think China will provide the example of what might happen to the other economies. | ||

Nice. I have a long term stack as well. Going to sell it all when it hits 100k per btc Otherwise, I like trading it as well. The volatility is great and it trends hard | ||

What's cracking up is the nasdaq from international currency devaluation rushing to buy usd denominated assets. Good luck with the tesla puts though. Money won't fill the shelves when (or if) the quarantines start hitting Japan and Europe. | ||

Legendary investor Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. just gave its blessing to the US$4.6 trillion exchange-traded fund market -- at least in one of its pension plans. Berkshire added to the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF, ticker VOO, and SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, known as SPY, in the final quarter of 2019, according to a regulatory filing. The relatively small investments, which totaled US$25 million across both funds, are Berkshire’s only publicly disclosed ETF holdings in its most recent quarterly 13F filing. The investments are in a pension plan, according to Buffett’s assistant, Debbie Bosanek. Buffett, whose Berkshire holds a record US$128 billion in cash and U.S. Treasury bills, has been questioned before about why he didn’t put the firm’s unused cash into an index fund. The 89-year-old investor said last year at his annual shareholder meeting that he thinks Berkshire should have some cash available to quickly deploy if the chance to strike a big acquisition arises, even though he’d rather own an index fund than U.S. Treasury bills. He argued back in 2007 that he thought Berkshire’s stock picks could do better than the S&P 500 Index. Berkshire’s set to release its annual letter to shareholders on Saturday. The fourth-quarter addition is arguably the “ultimate endorsement” for ETFs and their different usages, according to Bloomberg Intelligence’s Eric Balchunas. Large institutions will often park money in ETFs to keep exposure to the market while minimizing cash drag in their portfolios, he said -- which is likely what Berkshire has started to do with its record cash pile. https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/berkshire-wades-into-etf-market-with-two-newly-disclosed-bets-1.1392009 | ||

He might've been asked to set an example. 25 million is laughable compared to what he manages. | ||

Seeing as I started out as a total novice a year ago I've been reading up on the subject bit by bit and there is something I just don't get, mostly about the american stockmarket. Maybe its because I cant help comparing it to my local Swedish stockmarket but it seems crazily bloated to me. I invested a small amount of money into AMD (Advanced Micro devices inc.) like 10 months ago or so, mostly because I like the company and I saw it as an experiment investing in NASDAQ. The stock grew in value like 50% and I just can't see the logical reason anyone would value the company that highly. I mean they haven't payed out dividends at all, from what I understand the reason stocks have value is because they pay out dividends or because the company has a high potential to pay out high dividends in the future. AMD historically hasn't payed out dividends, even though the company is huge. Logically since the companys success is driven by the speed at which they can advance their technology the company will not reach a state were they are "done" investing most of their money into further research. Either they keep reinvesting their earnings or Intel will overtake them and their company will decline. Isn't this a prime example of a company were the stock should valued low compared to their overall earnings since that money isn't being poured into the stockowners pockets anyway? No dividend payout, low liklihood of high payouts in the future and yet valued very highly on the stockmarket, why? If the markets stop their ever Rising climb to the skies and above what value does owning a share really give you? Only the dividend nothing more | ||
