I think that activist investor letter that T got is kinda full of shit. The points that they bring up, well the company is already doing them.
Maybe not at the rapid speed that activist group would prefer but they are being done nonetheless.
1. Point - Reduce debt; This is being done and at a faster rate to than was first planned for. 2. Higher Profits - This is being done as well. 3. Stock price - Uh the stock's gone from 28 to 35 so I'd call that progress to me. 4. Selling assets - They've been doing that as well.
Integration takes time. They've made progress on that. Hell the deal only closed last year. I don't got a clue how many people worked for Time Warner pre merger but I know it was a fuckton. Nor do I know the number of T & Direct people but I know it's massive. Meshing all that talent and seeing where the overlaps are takes time.
They are rolling out 5G and the Streaming service right on time plus taking care of the other parts of the "empire". Give them some credit for what they've done so far. From what I've seen it's been pretty good.

I only post my Robinhood account, never my real accounts. It would be a little odd, a little off-key to post that type of information.

stocks that increased by at least 1% every 3 months since 2018-01-01, and are also worth less than $40.

What is the distribution of actual YoY returns? If you want to underperform the market but be really safe doing it, just buy a bonds/equities mix with plenty of bonds.
The russ lel 1000 is up. Anyway, bear market for small cap is finished. There is some deep value to be had if you go stock picking. I like industrials that are like at a P/E ratio of 3 and a book value of 0.5 with no debt just because of recession fears.

Just want to thank the user that recommended TLRD that shit is up 29% since I bought it

>industrials Eh... I don’t know man. I got some Nucor steel and I’d kinda like to dump it ASAP. We’re not really doing any infrastructure, construction, etc. doesn’t look like China is going to be buying our tractors, looks like boeing May have to halt construction...
I’d really like to buy the banks, but I’m afraid people are going to keep selling them once we get our rate cuts, until we get earnings that show they’re not too overly sensitive to cuts.

And I don’t think the trade war is really getting any better anytime soon.
So I want to keep buying MTUM and SPLV, maybe some CLOU if it keeps going down.
Nigga this is literally my first post on this board I just got into the stock market like 3 weeks ago
Aaron Watson
The trade war is a meme, and people will have realized it one year from now. It's not affecting anybody besides China. They already pushed back as much as they could. People couldn't sell shit in the mainland before, and they still can't now, so nothing has changed. The change in supply lines is for the best and stimulates the surrounding economies, with the added benefit of the tech not being stolen as blatantly.
It only has appeared to be a meme because Trump has been holding off actually applying tariffs for a while now. He's going to turn up the trade war theme for the reelection.
It's a literal non-event meme that's been amped up 10x by the media to sound ominous and play up the "orange man bad" meme.
Jordan Jackson
A lot of people here are like this guy We just use our RH accounts to make bullshit meme trades and shitpost with that while the long term hold account doesn't get posted. But to each their own, just don't be the guy who posts his portfolio just to brag to the world that he made it all the way to the unimaginable total of six figures.
Jacob Torres
I'll go back in the archives and make a collection of all your "pretend to be someone else" posts Don't trip, I'm autistic enough to do it You talk a lot on /smg/ about how clever you are but you never post real shit, which is why no one here listens to you or respects anything you say
Samuel Gomez
APTS made a nice run. Hopefully can get back above 15 a share soon
Nathaniel Carter
If one day I get the glorious news AMRN delivers 42,000.00 into my greedy pocket I'm gonna be celebrating like crazy. (or hell even 22,000.00).
I make shit now as it is, so to see such large wad one sum is nice as fuck.
Joseph Cruz
C'mon, I'm jonesing for a new high. What's a good stock to bet on in the short-midterm?
Josiah Mitchell
It's not going to be a non-event meme when increased price in electronic goods distresses the economically anxious populations with increasing amount of anti-China propaganda.
Hell I coulda sold my T stake this morning and made $7442.00. Then rolled it into more AMRN. But I didn't. I resisted the impulse. I knew long term the Divvy payout would be the better option.
If AMRN delivers the high end payout for me It'd bump my net-worth to damn near 76,000.00.
By age 40 via saving like mad alone I'd have 96,000.00. So It's safe to say via Drip gains and 401k gains plus tax refunds I'd have 100,000.00 by 40
Jace Bell
Not bad for a dude who makes shit a year. Provided things happen the way I hope they do.

has anyone here made autist level gains yet? I'm talking about like >2000% gains.
Ethan Miller
>There are people in this thread that STILL don't own any Office Depot
You're probably thinking of me (I was the guy that said they were going to get bought out). Glad it's going well for you. Don't forget that if you keep holding at least another week, you will also be due a whopping $0.18 dividend payout, which sounds like it would add at least another 3.5% to your gains.

When the shoe shine boys in /smg/ are telling you to sell, that means it's time to buy.

>I’d say Roth, because you’ll probably be in a higher tax bracket when you’re older, but who knows what taxes will be like in 50 years.
People commonly say that, but you ought to question whether that is really true. When you are retired, you only need enough income to pay for your current living expenses. When you are young, you not only need to provide for your current living expenses, you also need to provide for your future living expenses in the form of savings. There are two other obligations that young people are likely to have that old people wouldn't: mortgage payments and children. Unless you move into a house much more expensive than your prior house in your 60s, there is no reason you shouldn't be able to pay off your mortgage prior to retirement. Likewise, by the time you reach retirement age, your children will likely be grown and making a living independently. It's possible, according to your individual circumstances, that that you will have a higher income in retirement than when young, but this not out of any general necessity.
I suspect that a motivation for encouraging ROTH is no more than government greed. They want your taxes now. I'd say, all things being equal, make Uncle Sam wait. Besides, given the current Democrat roster, there's no guarantee during our working careers that communists won't be elected and seize our retirement accounts and redistribute them anyway.
Nathaniel Long
That's not how it works. You don't pay capital gains taxes in either case. You either pay income taxes up front and invest smaller amounts or you pay the taxes on the end value of larger pre-tax contributions. Assuming you would be paying at the same tax rate up front or taking distributions in retirement, it shouldn't matter either way. The arithmetic if you pay income taxes up front is
It's just a re-ordering of the multiplication. It doesn't change the final result.
Dylan Reed
Nice bottom fishing! Also true, but there’s no telling how long the selloff from quality into value will go.
MAYBE But we could have gone full Sweden by then. And I hope to have accumulated enough MO, MRK, DIS, KO, PEP, AND JNJ to just live off the divvies.
Shit, maybe I should’ve bought KO instead of MA and MRK today.
Aiden Evans
It’s really all you need. I had an E*TRADE account my work set up for my stock benefits but it was shit.
Adam Carter
Robinhood doesn’t have DRiP or IRA’s. So that’s not ideal.
Schwab also has a lot of ETF’s for free that I’m really warming up to.
Jordan Anderson
Goddamn it.
I bet one of these Dems is going to go after Juul in the debate now that people are dying. Why can’t these retards stop buying black market knock offs?
Lucas Richardson
Use robinhood for stocks, not gonna waste money on commissions and fees. Robinhood has a lot of inaccurate info on their app but theres enough online stock charts to make it worthwhile for commision free stock trading.
Jose Baker
On the other hand, having children can also motivate you to choose ROTH because of the child tax credits. With the Republican tax changes, the new credit is a max of $2,000 per child. Evidently only a max of $1,400 of that is refundable. If you have 3 children, then you're maximum credit would be $6,000. For simplicity assume a 12% tax rate. You'd need over $50,000 in taxable income to rack up a bill of $6,000. With a $24,000 standard deduction, that's $74,000 before factoring in any other deductions like IRA or 401k contributions or health insurance premiums, and that's a rough lowball number. I think to get the most value out of the child tax credits, you want to avoid bringing down your taxable income unnecessarily.
John Phillips
>The agencyissued a warning letter to Juul, saying that the company violated federal regulations because it had not received federal approval to promote and sell its vaping products as a healthier option. 90% of vape users are faggots, but still fuck the FDA and fuck the government. Why do you need big brothers approval to state the obvious?

Cramer's making some bearish posts, saying to be careful that today might be a selloff day.
What direction were we headed before Minuchin came out and said trade talks were going well? Because I don't believe him, and I wonder how long it will take for the market to stop believing him.
Nathan Foster

There’s only one place I go to read babyboomer shitlosts about the stock market.
This doesn’t mean he’s right, of course. But i probably did too much buying today.
Tim needs to mount the Golden Bull and crush King Crab!
Ian Reed
is $500 enough to practice/start short trading with?
Charles Miller
no. but you can open a demo account with a broker and practice from there.
Parker Watson
Cool, so I'm still new to mutual funds that aren't vanguard but I guess fidelity doesn't offer their funds which is kind of gay. But here are my options... Large cap: PFGKX (largest returns so far) PEQSX VITSX mid cap: AMDVX HRAUX (highest returns) FSMAX Small cap: HSRUX VSOIX (which I've read good things about victory) International: FSPSX IINCX Some dumb blended investments Bonds: CT STABLE GOVT ii-0 GOBSX MWTIX STRKX VBTLX
I can also just convert it to a brokerage account apparently, but are any of these any good? I'm always inclined to just choose vanguard but fuck if I know. Here's a quacker
okay i lied, not a /smg/ question at all. i have 1 full BTC in off storage and want to start a margin account on kraken with maybe .03-.05 satoshi to learn/practice with, though practicing with a demo account seems interesting.
Robert Cook
use the demo account first demo-futures.kraken.com/dashboard kraken is often illiquid and has big moves that you wont find on other exchanges. otherwise you should consider ftx which is a new derivatives exchange better than bitmex.
Landon Roberts
(You) Some are mutual funds, some are ETFs. You want to check the expense ratio which at the end of the day makes a lot of difference. PFGKX 0.66% vs VITSX 0.03%
Daniel Price
3 days of my dividend Auto trader have been ehh, but dividends haven't posted (+1%). I'll keep tweaking because 2.5% weeks compounded is 350% for the year. Fuck vanguard and their 5%.
Could you explain more clearly what the fuck you are talking about? Are you saying you found a 350%/yr dividend? I'm no expert but that sounds like bullshit
Anthony Baker
>Could you explain more clearly Sure. Filtered
John Turner
it's probably a capture strategy 3 days isn't a reasonable barometer of real performance so don't worry too much about it
hoping Ford craters on the bond downgrade. Been sideways in the mid 9's for far too long.
Josiah Hughes
Anons that use Merrill do you like it? is it a good service?
Jack Martin
Free trades are nice but I think all the information there is not that useful. It's an aggregate so less detail than you could find elsewhere some charts are a bit fucky though nowhere near as bad as robinhood and can be viewed properly at one of the dedicated chart pages.
Brayden Hill
Of course it's bullshit, he thinks he can make 1% every single day which is never the case. Probably a guy that just started out
