Long Term Investing Thread

[FinanceBrah2004]

is there any chance they go bankrupt? they have a lot of long term debt.... would have to look more into the company

\
they got about 10 months worth of cash to burn

How do you guys feel about international markets, particularly emerging markets? I think at this point, US valuations are getting stretched and the international scene is also looking better short-term with the virus. I'm thinking about allocating more to VTWAX and VEMAX going forward. US is also heavily tilted to tech at this point, so I'm also thinking about buying an equal-weight S&P500 fund on the next downturn

I think Asian healthcare/biotech stocks will boom over the next 10 years. This is where I'm looking at making my next purchase.

examples?

I am currently investing with Vanguard. However, I think that I may be interested in changing to M1 Finance, primarily due to the automatic rebalancing and ability to buy fractional shares. Any opinions?

[imbeingcereal]

Shameless **** on the "other thread" post:

The bubble can and maybe will pop, but what? It cannot go back up? 5k CAD it can touch.


No, but if a burrito shop in the US/Canada can be $1115 per share... Why can't TSLA be worth that or higher? They're on a global scale and their owner is a master troll. His ego alone will drive that share way up. The man is behind many other business ventures and this is just the beginning for TSLA.. I can see the share price dropping substantially after a stock split.

What if AAPL never split all those times? Where would it be? Don't under estimate the cult mentality behind Tesla. They're more than a car company.

This moron literally thinks $TSLA's valuation is justified because $CMG has a similar share price, even though the market cap is 7x higher LOL.

should be enough to weather out vaccine

[PattBattmann]

no!

Why?

[headturner1]

Why?

I have a buddy that used m1 and they did some bizarre thing when buying fractional shares.

I started with sharebuilder years ago and would just have it invest a set amount every week into mcd and wmt, I really liked how that worked! After they were bought out by cap1 it went away, but it was pretty sweet for a new investor.

I know cs and rh do fractional and I’d much rather use one of them than m1.

[FinanceBrah2004]

That one could very easily go bankrupt if theres no second stimulus. Im buying cloud stocks now (RNG, NOW, ZS, WORK, ect)

Theres definitely a second stimulus man already confirmed, also have 10 months of cash to burn... Also BLM needs to be blamed for all this trouble they are causing, pieces of scum chit.

[EpicenterRex]

lmao. I've got some tulips to sell you as well

Of course I am not serious but it somewhat floors me that so many people risk a decent chunk of their retirement on a company with no profits and a man who is a brilliant mad man.

Another huge week for me with Tesla lol.

Again, I don't understand why it has the value it has, why it's more profitable than Coke, but, Tesla alone is having me ACTUALLY looking at my first ever investment property to potentially buy.

[EpicenterRex]

Why?

1.) M1 you can't get in and out of a position when you want. It's not HUGE, but if you want to sell Disney at 1pm, you can't.

2.) Theres a reason Schwab, Vanguard, and fid. are the "big 3". They've been around forever, they will continue to be around forever, they create their own low cost mutual funds, customer support, etc...

It seems like you like the idea of "auto" re-balance. Vanguard (and Charles Schwab) have the 2 best "target date retirement" mutual funds... in my main IRA, I have 80% of my entire money into a 2060 target date retirement fund (at a .07 expense ratio, that is ABSURDLY low). I literally have to do nothing, just put money into that fund however often I want. They basically manage the portfolio like you're going to retire in 2060. Early on its heavy in stocks, once you're 15 years out of retirement it gets a little less aggressive, when you're 5 years out it gets even less aggressive and a lot of your money is in bonds. Vanguard has those too, you legit dont have to do anything, at all, ever.... It's worth the .07 expense ratio to never have to research/buy sell etc...

Just because they have 10 months of cash, doesn't mean they can't file bankruptcy before it is all gone which is probably a smarter thing to do.... just a warning

I started with sharebuilder years ago too and used their automatic investing plan. I was bummed to see them go because it was so cheap.

M1's basic platform seems almost identical, but even cheaper. No costs whatsoever for buying and selling. I don't mind the set times daily of when buying and selling can be done because I'm not hopping in and out due to what happens within a single day.

I am new to the platform though so maybe some issues will start to pop up but I haven't seen any yet.

Thanks for the input. I ended up changing to Fidelity, which seems like a good choice.

[Travis99]

I'm thinking XOM and DIN as my first investments.

I don't know much, but I think they are both low enough now that they would be good long term.

Thoughts?

[Harry362]

I’ve never really bought tech stocks besides AMD. They all seem so expensive but never stop going up.

Looking at SQ, NET, and SE. They have all had such huge run ups this year. I picked up 100 SQ at 126 and was thinking of getting 100 SE and 300 NET. Willing to hold for years. You guys think these are too expensive?

[cromofo]

RTX is looking really really good for the long term, once commercial air travel recovers. I've been investing mainly into VWCE but now RTX will be another option for me. What do you guys think?

[PattBattmann]

Been looking into these ARKK funds. The previous years' performances have been insanely good.

[MediocreGains]

I'm currently in:

KO
MCD
JNJ
T
AMD
NEM
PAAS
AG
THM
VRM
FOUR
USO (Bag holding from years ago. I try to ignore it.)

VRM and Four are speculative. NEM, PAAS, AG, and THM are gold and silver stocks that I'll hold until whenever it is that the economy starts recovering and precious metal prices go back down.

[Icepops81]

I sold AMZ when it finally reached 2000 after bouncing around for so long. Bought 7 shares at 1700. Somebody please put a bullet in my head

Lol, I did the same thing before Covid hit. Got in under 1600 right at the start of 2019, and then got out at around 2000 before the crash. Thought I was being smart.

Fuk. Guess I deserve it for doubting Bezos.

I bought in at about $2,900. However, it could possibly be a $10,000 stock, srs.

[EpicenterRex]

2 people have said RTX

I work for Pratt & Whitney (who they bought out) and I can confirm we have some REALLY awesome commercial engines coming out and another few defense engines. RTX is a GREAT buy. Don't swing trade it, don't look at it and sell for 2 weeks, but I can confidently say if you buy RTX and hold for 10-15-20 years, when you're ready to sell in 15 years you'll be like "Jesus, look at that profit!'

[cromofo]

Thoughts on ERIC and NOK?

[PattBattmann]

Holy balls at Tesla. Can I go ham investing in this stock to fund my retirement?........semi-srs, lol.

Nothing in that article that is probably new news to anyone but it was a quick read and the PE chart was interesting.
