>I'm new to the stock market, what stocks should I buy? Before you buy anything, make a brokerage account and read investopedia articles and/or the books in the OP list. If you don't have a broker, you can't buy stocks, and if you blindly buy things without understanding how the stock market works or doing any research on the individual stocks you're buying, you will lose money and it will be entirely your fault.
What should I be looking for in dividend paying stocks?
Justin Powell
money
James Turner
God doesn't need gopro. He is omnipresent or something.
Anthony Cook
kys twice
Ian Long
dividend growth, payout ratio, whether or not they cut their dividend, consecutive years of dividend growth, and yield.
It the yield seems too good to be true, it probably is. if you have time, div growth stocks like AAPL, MSFT, ITW, SBUX, CSCO etc are the best bet of increasing your compounding interest over time
yield on cost is a retarded metric that dividend boomers use because they think it makes them sound smart. total return on capital is all that matters and growth is better than dividend
Asher Harris
I live in Europe and can't buy Vanguard. How's this as a replacement?
iShares S&P 500 ETF (80%) iShares Treasury Bond 7-10yr (10%) iShares US Property Yield ETF (10%)
Carson Fisher
Unless you need to use your stock principle as a piggybank in times of crisis, go with 100% S&P 500. iShares is a decent alternative.
Dominic Cook
I think I need to study up on how dividends work a bit more then. I'm mostly in real estate and a cash-on-cash yearly return of 2% is laughable. Even 10% is considered meh. So my metric of what constitutes a good investment is mostly based on how much monthly (or quarterly) income it gives.
Anthony Nguyen
This market is fake and gay. Go back into golden bull run soon.
kids these days don't understand the concept of diversifying your investment strategies. if it isn't a biopharma penny stock, they think you'll never make it
Benjamin Moore
Don't compare an index fund to a well managed real estate investment. They're fundamentally different, in that one requires active judgement, and the other is simply a place to park your cash where it can grow way faster than throwing it in a bank.
>Still no cameltoe Step up your NSFW game.
>Biopharma Penny If you aren't 100% committed on delisted weed penny stocks, you're a joke
Not really. Buying and holding indexes outperforms almost anything. Good rule of thumb is 80% in indexes, 10% on safeish bets (like TSLA), 10% on Dumb shit to play around with while you're bored.
William Kelly
>Don't compare an index fund to a well managed real estate investment. I know that there are differences and have different purposes. Index funds are basically for equity growth and have next to no cash flow.
But I'm talking about dividends, they seem to be a huge disappointment to me. The point is to use dividends to live off of, but at 1-2%, even a million bucks will only give you
Jaxon Roberts
Any leafs in here use Questrade
Tyler Howard
Oh yeah, dividends are a meme unless they are paired with something that fundamentally outperforms the Index (like defense companies in the last decade).
Adam Morris
2% is pretty low. SPYD gives almost 5% and lots of dividend stocks give 7-10% like NLY and BX and GECC.
i don't think this is true, DRIP is still cash given then reinvested so its a capital gain and taxed at the percentage of your income (for most people, 15%)
Indexing is a meme, the top 10 companies make up most of all the revenues. Our entire economy is dependent on apple selling chink phones at this point
Luke Cox
Indexes are your frens, Jack Bogle is your savior.
John Myers
It seems like SPYD is an ETF geared toward income, but even then it looks like they're only throwing off 3.25%. It seems that Vanguard also has an income fund, but it's not much better.
Now your other choices seem more viable, but dumping your cash into a small handful of companies is pretty counter to what everyone preaches about diversification. Surely there's a fund that's geared toward providing income for investors, right? You'd think they'd have a fund that just has the higher dividend producers with, say, an 8% minimum return.
I’m out of this shitty company. Thank God I didn’t have that much in it. I’m mostly in Micron. Think I should sell now or wait for a dead cat bounce?
Leo Nguyen
Micron is also where my other money is that isn't in AMRS. Wish I'd sold that a few months ago when it peaked
Alexander Harris
QRHC through earnings for me
Angel Hill

Nicholas Hill
Prepare for trouble And make it quadruple !
Justin Green
Give me a QRD on QRHC.
Tyler Ward
I'm 25% down this year..
Joshua Martin
Where’s the bottom? Am I gonna is pay less for gas at the pump?
Jace Bailey
AMRS bros what do you make out of this? Obviously the EPS miss was yuge, but the underlying numbers don't look too bad. Most of the revenue miss was from loss of Grants and collaborations which is extremely fucky to begin with. Rev/COGS actually improves slightly.
Anyone on the line? Can someone please grill the fucker on exactly how he's booking revenue from his "deals" and wtf was up with his "guidance"?
Checked ! 10 years ago the price/barrel was up 300% Gas was less at the pump. Math sounds bad as fuck.
Nathaniel Turner
No idiot. No one knows what the fuck is going on. I certainly can't make sense of these numbers.
Lucas Morris
I have no idea t b h but I'm not inclined to believe that this reflects on their longer term prospects. I'm just trying to stay cool.
Jeremiah Rogers
Fuck bros I can’t interpret this market either and y’all are smarter at this shit than me. I’m just keeping my money in Micron and Yamana Gold. I also want to get out of NVIDIA but they’re slow to crawl back to where my average was at.
Jaxon Rivera
>ctrl+f my two stocks that went up 20% today >0 results
>Micron and Yamana Gold Bro no don't do this... At least AMRS has a chance of making it, unironically go all in on NVDA below $200 isn't a bad idea though.
I bought initially for long term prospects, which is why I didn't sell at $9 (yes I'm retarded), I unironically believed it was worth mid-teens. But these revenue numbers look just horrible, and I haven't got any idea how they can miss rev this bad from the guidance last q.
Connor Cook
I have pretty low averages on them. What’s the issue?
another day of capitulation something is brewing we're due for a recession i don't think it'll hit until late 2019, maybe early 2020
Josiah Ramirez
Yeah I didn't sell at $9 either so you have company in your retardation.
Brayden Morris
I agree, I can see a lot of sideways wabbling before it finaly gives
Joshua Wood
guys go all in WEED STOCKS. when the market crashes only a few things will still sell like alcohol/tobacco, pharmaceutical drugs that people always need, WM stock and of course WEED because...
>its cheap >it provides stress relief for those who are impacted by the financial crisis >can be used as pain relief/medically and it will soon be avaialble in Blue Moon beer drinks! BUY WEED STOCKS!!!
>A company that makes relatively low tech product under intense competitive pressure from Chyna and a gold miner that doesn't have any gold mines Geez user I wonder.
This q has been absolutely horrid on earnings, every company seems to be revising down outlook. I'm selling all my shit prior to earnings starting from tomorrow.
Too late for AMRS though, luckily I only have a smallish position so I may as well ride this shit to see where it goes.
Jayden Sullivan
Let's say I have eight stocks I bought for $7.39 for a total of $59.12. I dont want to lose more than $10.00. I should put a stop loss at $6.14 then?
Caleb Rodriguez
>do my maths homework for me
Liam Parker
If I can't ask questions about stocks here, then what is the point of this general
David Brown
that's not a stock question it's a maths question.
Jonathan Harris
Or you could do what I did and go 50% VTI, 50% handful of singles I handpicked for dividends or recession padding. Best of both worlds.
Ethan Morgan
Well friends it seems our hero Armin turned out to be a shit in hiding. Lawyers are involved in it now. The stock tanked back to 17 again today. I bailed when it was at 19 so lucky for me I broke even. While I was on the selling train, I sold some more positions, trimmed the excess bloat I didn't need. Ended up with enough profit to achieve the ultimate goal; buying Amazon stock. While it was Cheap (er) at that. Now to round things off next week with buying GE, BHGE, WMT, Microsoft, Fox, and Intel.
Can then just sit back and watch the profit grow and grow over the next 20 - 30 years
