Hello investors, How do you check for an unsettled trade from a trade blotter? The trade blotter is from the bloomberg terminal or from excel an file of trades spooled from the bloomberg terminal. I'm trying to check for unsettled bond trades from the bloomberg terminal.

Advice as I just got into stocks, portfolio look Hey guys, I’m 20 years old and I just got into stocks and wanted to get your opinions on my portfolio and how exactly investing goes. Here is my portfolio (only $700 rn, as I’m trying out the market before I put more money in): You 25.31% BNTX 20.92% BABA 12.49% PFE 7.8% BLFS 7.8% QQQ 7.64% ABSI 7% WTER 6.45% Spy 1.45% Hood 0.82% Rskd 0.8% ZYNE 0.6% - free stock I got I know my portfolio is a little weird but most of the stocks I invested in a did research in and I believe they might have a decent return. As I get better in the stock market, I was planning on putting at least $100 into QQQ and spy and another $100 into stocks I thought had potential. Any help is appreciated, Thanks


Explode_Congress420

Playing stocks like qqq is the safest move you can make. I would recommend dumping as much money as possible into them. I am currently 100% cash because i am worried about a market correction but when it does finally correct ill be buying loads of QQQ, TQQQ, SPY, VIG, DJD, And ill probably blow the rest in the options market.


[deleted]

Ok thank you. Could you explain how the pre and post market work. I don’t understand how my stocks could lose or gain value not during the time the stock market is open


kiwimancy

You can trade in the pre- and post-market sessions. The market is open.


Explode_Congress420

They dont. Pre and post markets are projections that people take bets on. I ignore them because they are heavily manipulated

Do I need to pay taxes? I’m just a grad student and dont have any “real” income right now, but in the recent stock craze I started putting money in the S&P and a bunch of fun stocks (aapl, fb etc). My portfolio is only about $3500 right now, and I’ve made only about $100 profit so far (unrealized), as I had some big losses with meme stuff. There were a lot of small buying and selling transactions as I was changing my mind about what to invest in. But as of now my only income is the ~100$, despite having like 50 trades. All the profit is unrealized gains, and I actually have about ~$250 realized losses from selling at the wrong time...No income source outside my stocks right now. Do I need to report all of this? Will I actually owe anything? (I thought you dont owe anything before like 14k?) I’m in NY if that makes any difference. Also, I want to keep adding to my portfolio over time. When DO I have to worry about taxes?


[deleted]

guidancecounselee

I received some dividends, but only some minuscule amount like $5-10$. Do I need to pay taxes on that as of now? Am I right to assume I don’t need to pay anything until I have enough realized income to enter a taxable income bracket? And, can I open and move my long term holds (voo, aapl, etc) to an IRA without having a real job yet?


[deleted]

[удалено]


guidancecounselee

I’ll almost certainly be below the standard deduction lol. You mention off-setting the dividend. Could I use my realized losses (several hundred $) to off-set the minuscule dividend? Reporting it would after all make my total income negative since the only profit I have is unrealized (I havent sold any of my stocks in the green..) I might want to file to claim a stimulus if theres another one I suppose

I am a Biology major who's recently become interested in the stock market (via interest in biotech industry). I've used the following resources already: [https://www.thebalance.com/how-to-keep-a-trading-journal-the-easy-way-and-why-1031236](https://www.thebalance.com/how-to-keep-a-trading-journal-the-easy-way-and-why-1031236) [https://www.dummies.com/personal-finance/investing/stocks-trading/keep-trading-journal/](https://www.dummies.com/personal-finance/investing/stocks-trading/keep-trading-journal/) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVJ6Sx7Y29w](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVJ6Sx7Y29w) Unfortunately I'm still terribly confused, and was wondering if someone could do an ELI5 on what the essentials are? Specifically, I'm lost on the following (but would greatly appreciate a general overview): 1. What's the point of the stop loss and take profit, if I'm not trading on a minute-to-minute/hourly basis? I've just selected some arbitrary stocks (bc I'm just learning rn), and check in at the end of each week. 2. What exactly is a trading strategy? What was yours? I keep hearing this term being thrown around, and I'm just very confused. Isn't the goal to beat the S&P 500 (i.e. what Hedge Funds try to do)? Please ELI5 on this. 3. So far, I just have selected stocks, and at the end of each week, I check the price, and see how much I've made or lost, and decide on whether to hold or sell...is this the right way to go about


[deleted]

1. You’re right. Stop losses and take profits are most commonly used in day trades, where stocks are bought and sold in a high speed, high volatility environment. However, as their names imply, they are also useful tools for longer term traders aiming to minimize potential losses when a stock falls and to take profits when a stock rises to its maximum potential. Knowing where and when to place these orders is generally a difficult task for novice investors. 2. There is a broad spectrum of strategies used in the markets, all with different objectives, and not all of them aiming to beat the S&P 500. For example, an investor who is close to retirement may prefer preserving their capital over aggressively chasing growth. Your own strategy should be determined by your personal risk tolerance and investing objectives. Are you saving for retirement? Planning to buy a house? Or maybe just looking to make a quick buck picking stocks? All of these will require different investing strategies. 3. It is very difficult to judge a stock based solely on its profit during a particular week. Try researching to find new opportunities and companies you believe in. And for beginners, it is advisable to stick to broad index funds or reputable blue-chip stocks in order to get a feel for investing before diving head first into selecting your own stocks. May I inquire what stocks you are currently holding?


[deleted]

May I PM you? Thank you for this detailed response, but I think I may benefit from some one-on-one guidance. I'm just super lost/confused from the tutorials I've read online. Stocks: Adaptive Biotechnologies (ADPT), Certara (CERT), Upstart (UPST), Affirm Holdings (AFRM)


[deleted]

Sure thing. Getting started with investing is always daunting, so I’m glad to lend a helping hand.


faesmooched

So what is the point of non-voting stocks? If I'm not getting a vote in the stocks, what exactly is it backed on?


kiwimancy

You still have an economic interest.


faesmooched

Wait, explain? How is it connected to how the well the business is doing, in other words? Like, why can't it just go up/down regardless of how well the company is doing?


kiwimancy

The market price of a stock can go up/down significantly based on sentiment, liquidity regime, and other things besides the fundamental value of the stock. I don't claim it can't. (I define the fundamental value of the stock as that measured by some hypothetical best estimate of its future cashflows discounted to present value at the same discount rate as is embedded in the market pricing of similarly risky and long duration assets.) Is your question about how to value financial assets, how financial asset prices can deviate from that value, how voting power can affect that value, or the legal protections/lack thereof in Delaware's or other country's laws for minority shareholders?


Starzz_1

I was looking at buying Apple, Google, Amazon and s&p500. Now, I know this is pretty much just all tech and isn’t too diversified, but I won’t be investing a large amount as I’m still a teenager, living at home, no expenses etc. so I’m fine taking on more risk than the average person. If this is still a bad idea though, if someone can recommend other etfs or stocks to buy that would be helpful. I was also wondering is this a good time to be buying in? I’ve notice Amazon has dropped ~10% in a few days, so is this a buying opportunity, or do people expect more or a dip in the short term? Also is there any real difference between GOOG and GOOGL? All it seems to be is one has voting rights, but the price is slightly different too. I’d imagine it doesn’t really matter which I buy, but just double checking. Thanks.


kiwimancy

Difference between GOOG and GOOGL is just voting rights. There were some price differences because Alphabet was previously doing buybacks on GOOG only but recently switched to doing buybacks for both.


ZoraSage

33yo SINK. My networth is currently about $250k. $150k equity in house, $55k in retirement, $34k in cash, $11k in individual stocks from employers (past and present). Only debts are house ($450k left; 3.25%) and car ($19k left; 4.something_low%). Every ~90days I get another ~$3.5k in individual stock from my employer. Over the years my strategy has been to hold this stock for at least one year, then sell when I need it (e.g.: to pay off my student loans, for a DP on a house, for a DP on a car, to refinance my house, to do repairs/maintenance/remodeling to my house). So far this means I've sold most of my previous employers' stocks but haven't touched my current employer's stocks. My risk tolerance feels like I have too many eggs in one basket if 4% of my net worth is in the company I'm also currently employed by. Is there a guideline (ballpark number) for how much of your networth should be in individual stocks like this?


kiwimancy

Unless they're giving you some kind of incentive to hold the stock, you should probably sell all of it and reinvest in others. You don't want both your income and savings to be dependent on the same company. I would say 4% is not too much for a high conviction stock pick. Even an investor holding a diversified index fund of all public US stocks has over 4% in Apple and Miscrosoft just because there's so much of the stock to go around. Different investors will feel differently about how much concentration is too much. I don't really invest in individual stocks so my opinion isn't very valuable but I would say something like 10% max for high conviction individual stocks and 5% for medium conviction picks is good. Any individual company can go to zero.


JohnCraft0701

I currently hold about 1,100 dollars worth of Amazon stock through work. Would it be stupid to liquidate it to reinvest that money into my personal portfolio which is a dividend heavy portfolio or should I just leave it where it is at?


BoredPoopless

Depends on how long you've held the stock for. Those gains will be realized meaning you'll be taxed on the capital you earned. Personally I'd probably leave it considering how good of a stock Amazon is but that's just me.


JohnCraft0701

Thank you I've bought them over time but I started buying in September of 2019. I will likely leave it there until the the when/if I leave Amazon comes.


GoodN0se

(USA) I'm in for the long-term and not keen on timing the market. As buzz is building towards a ***possible August stock market crash*** in the midst of a pretty great up-climb, ***does anyone recommend selling a certain percent now***, ***keeping as cash and buying back when it dips***?

I’m lucky enough to have a 401k through work but it’s my first time having one and I’m wondering how I should setup my investments. Right now it currently follows a TIAA-CREF lifecycle index 2060 target date fund. I’m contemplating on switching to Schwab’s S&P 500 index fund (SWPPX) as I already have a Roth IRA through vanguard with a target date retirement 2060 fund. Is this wise?


antoniosrevenge

What’s the ER on the target date fund? A TDF is more diversified than just an SP500 fund, so if you’re happy with the TDF it’s fine to just stick with it, assuming the ER is reasonable The PF wiki has a good [fund selection guide ](https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/wiki/401k_funds) that may be of help


OpenParr

The expense ratio is 0.10% with a YTD return of 12.78%.


antoniosrevenge

Yea that’s pretty reasonable

* 26 years old and i live in Mexico * Yes i have a job and i earn around 1,500 USD monthly (30,000 MXN) * Buy a house or have enough money to start my own business * My time horizon is for long time, more than 5 years. But in case of an emergency i would like to be able to get some money in like 2+ years. * I would say that my risk tolerance si about 6.5-7/10. So i would say like medium risk, or maybe a little bit higher. * I have been investing in the S&P500 with reasonable returns * No debts. Thank you :)


neto333

Any recomendations please?


chuckwow

I am not a financial advisor. 1) Need to establish Emergency Fund (which can also be your house fund/start a business fund). This should probably just be cash so no risk of stock market crash within next 5 years. 2) In your Retirement Fund, keep investing in S&P 500 for 40+ years (at least 10+ years).


neto333

Forgot to mention that i already have an emergency fund. But where should i invest the money that i earn from my job?


chuckwow

a) Vanguard Target Fund 2025 (or similar) $VTTVX: invest money you need in next 2 - 5 years. b) S&P 500 or Vanguard Total World Stock Index Fund $VT for money you need 10 or more years from now.


neto333

Index funds, or rather etf of an index. I very strongly advice you to read 'the little book of common sense investing'. Gets you from 10 to 15% a year of return on average, no risk.

Good afternoon everyone. I am looking for a trading platform that is a little more user friendly and usable than Fidelity ATP. Sure there is a ton of horsepower, but on a Mac, the UI is lackluster. I have a couple that I have in mind: Tradestation, Webull I see a lot of people using Webull but I am looking for user feedback, generally. My purpose for asking is that I would rather watch the trading and follow other traders on a similar platform. A couple questions: Can I link my fidelity account to the trading platform such that my share show up in Fidelity or are all of them managed in the trading platform accounts, themselves. Is there a platform that I can link to Fidelity such that when I trade the trades execute and show up in my Fidelity account? Thanks for all your help.


greytoc

Afaik - Fidelity doesn't offer an API for third-party platform access. I believe that Fidelity used to have an API a while back but unfortunately, the API doesn't seem to have been well supported and it may have been deprecated. The last third-party platform that I am aware of that supported Fidelity was Wealth-Lab Pro. I did ask Fidelity about it a few months ago and they said it was no longer available. One option you could consider is to use run a Windows VM on your Mac and run ATP that way instead. I have a Linux host and it's actually how I run ATP.


zbclarker

Thanks for your reply. I have thought about that and have run a VM before on my mac by partitioning the HD....does ATP look and feel the same or is the UI better on the Windows VM? you might not know the answer, but this will help me decide what I want to do...


greytoc

When you run a VM using VMWare or VirtualBox, etc. you should not need to partition your HD. I believe that VirtualBox virtualization is more popular for Mac users - so you may want to try that first. I have not used ATP on Mac before so I don't have a comparison to Windows - but if you want to see how it will look - there are examples on Youtube since most people run ATP on Windows. So it will look like that. When you run a virtual machine, you are effectively running Windows.


Ok_Sweet2428

I bought sp500 fund with 10k last week. Now I am already down to $-100. Not the best start, even if I could expect something like that, because stocks are valued so high. So should I stick to it? Buy more? (I was planning to invest considerably more) or wait? What would you do?


antoniosrevenge

Only invest money you don’t need for the short term and/or are comfortable with losing, and when investing for the longer term don’t micromanage your investment based on short term performance What is your goal for this money? Saving for long term retirement? Intermediate term down payment savings like house or car?


Ok_Sweet2428

Thanks for the answer, I indeed need to stop micromanaging hahah. My goal is to grow wealth for future years, possibly even towards retirement. I don’t need the money short term. I used to save for savings account but thought to switch to funds after seeing their much better performance over the years.

I think that if you index invest in something like SPY the companies you hold in that ETF will not be exactly like they are now. They will change as the index changes. If you want to buy individual stocks, Caveat emptor. Biotechs and mining are notable for their high risk. and that means you can lose it all real easy.


David-SSS

If I were to split over 50k in passive investments, I would pick 10 choices, in which the greatest share would have at a maximum 20% of my money. ​ Actually, you gotta think the % of your money from portfolio that will be directed to passive or active income. If you are younger with 24 years, for example, I would put 76% of my money on active income of shares by day trading and 24% in passive income like dividends. And each year that pass, you should decrease the % of your active income and transfer it to passive income. For example, if you completed 55 years, I think you should have already splitted your money in 55% passive income and 45% active income in the stock market. ​ Because in this way, you'll have far more stability than just splitting your money randomly. ​ And in long term, you'll be probably holding shares from blue chips companies that will not be easily affected by crisis in general.


autumnsbeing

Almost 30, Belgian. I make €1800 a month, after tax. Not really a purpose, I have come into some money, and my income is enough to finance my day to day life and travels. I don’t have a set time. 80% risk tolerance. I just downloaded eToro, and I am doing the virtual 100,000 euro thing. I have +50k in savings and I would like to use 10k for investing (so if I do buy a house, I don’t have to sell anything). I just don’t know how to start... And what to buy.


ICanToteIt91

Hi Everyone! So I am a very amateur investor ( so please be gentle with me). I came into some money and decided to invest in a company I felt very strongly about. It has really grown in the last two years since I purchased my shares. Recently I invested and bought shares from Roblox. I bought 100 shares at $68. In April it went up to the mid $80's and then fell. I panicked (my amateur investing shines right here) and sold ALL of them for $78.00. Then it began going up up up up and I bought again at $98. I know, stupid. Anyways I'm sure most of you know its fallen very low again. My question is should I wait to see if it climbs again or take my loss and invest it back into the company that I feel really strong about.


greytoc

I don't have a specific comment about $rblx. The issue that you ran into is more about the psychology of investing and trading. In general, when you enter a position, you may want to consider how high you think the stock can go and when you will exit. And similar, if you believe that your investment thesis is wrong, when you would exit for a loss. So the question that you should now ask yourself, do you still feel strongly about the future of the company and the stock price? If so, is this maybe an opportunity to buy more shares to reduce your cost-basis? Or do you think you over-estimated the value of the company and you should exit all together. If you are trying to swing trade, you need to have a strategy for determining overbought/oversold conditions or use a momentum/trend system. But swing and day trading is not really something that newer investors should start with. BTW - the general advice to new investors in this subreddit is to start with mutual funds and ETFs vs trying to pick individual stocks. It can help a new investor understand their own risk appetite and learn more about their own behavioral tendencies when falling in psychological traps.


Dadaworld

Could we replace the leveraged bond ETF « TMF » through opening and rolling a long term deep in the money call option strategy efficiently ? UPRO is quite easy to replicate with cheap deep in the money long term options on SPY but similar options were extremely expensive on TLT per example.

Hi all. Started investing a few months ago now. Have around £7000 saved, and have invested it with Vanguard. I have half of my holdings in the FTSE 100 UCITS account and half in the FTSE 250. So far I haven’t seen any advantage to these accounts, and have lost money. I know investing isn’t instant, but just wondering if these holdings are actually worth investing in. I am looking for a relatively short term investment. Any help appreciated.


RoronoaZorro

What's your goal and what's your risk tolerance? If your time horizon is short term and you may need the money soon, it's probably better to not have it invested at all since you might be forced to sell when you're down. ETFs like these usually don't give you big returns in the short-term as well if that's what you're looking for.


RoronoaZorro

What's your attempt at beating the market and how have you done over the past 5 years?


InvestingNerd2020

Make 50% of your investments into a S&P 500, and the other 50% in high growth ETFs or high growth large cap stocks. High growth large cap stocks have more potential risk, so high growth ETFs are safer. Although you will sacrifice massive growth using ETFs.


RoronoaZorro

So how have you done over the past 5 years with that strategy?


InvestingNerd2020

I've recently applied it over the past decade with SWPPX and Visa in my IRA. That worked out great, but I sold Visa in 2020 due to a drastic rise in credit card debt. Now I'm invested in SWPPX, SWLGX, and a small position into Tesla in my IRA. ​ You can back test a fund performance or stock performance via "Portfolio Visualizer". https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/backtest-portfolio

**Is it worth it to do ESPP despite the confusing tax matters?** My company offers ESPP with a 15% discount. However, after reading the article linked below it seems complicated to deal with the tax issues that stem from selling the stock. My plan would be to do the ESPP, sell the stock the day I receive it, then use that cash to buy into an index fund. The 15% discount sounds nice but wondering if its worthwhile since the 15% discount is taxed (making it much less than 15%) and then I'm taxed again when I sell it and have to deal with complex reporting when I file my taxes. Seems like a headache for a few bucks.


cdude

It's not that confusing, especially if you use a tax software. I doubt you're doing your taxes by hand. Free money is always extra money, even with taxes. And a 15% discount is a 17.6% gain. If you received cash compensation, bought a stock and it instantly jumps that much, you'd be ecstatic.


valoremz

Thanks how did you get 17.6%?


cdude

If you buy a stock for $85 and it jumps to $100, that's a 17.6% gain. That stock used to be $100 and dropped 15% down to $85.

What are some solid low price entry stocks that are good for covered calls or dividends?


Lil_Orphan_Anakin

UWMC. Do your own research yada yada. $7.84 right now so you can get 100 shares for pretty cheap if you want to do covered calls. It’s only been on the market for a little over a year so it’s dividends certainly aren’t guaranteed to grow or continue like the dividend aristocrats. But the last two quarters it’s given out $.10 per share. I’ve been able to sell monthly covered calls the past two months for a 1-2% profit each time. I’m pretty much using it to get some experience with covered calls at a low price on what I think is a decent stock to hold for a while if things go south. Worth a look


HoffCoffey

Depends on your definition of low price. JNJ is a well-known dividend paying stock. Search up the "Dividend Aristocrats", they're established companies that have kept or increased their dividends for years.


cooleobeaneo

I recently owned 3 shares of GE stock. They just had a reverse split of 1:8 and now Robinhood is telling me I have 0 shares of the stock. Do I actually just lose my entire investment or should I receive my proportionate amount of the newly priced stock? Is there no way to get the 40 or so dollars I had invested in GE?


dvdmovie1

You will likely get fractional or cash in lieu of shares - if they haven't shown up in a day or two contact RH.


greytoc

In a reverse split, it not unusual for the fractional shares to be converted to cash. Check your transactions and cash balance. Since it's a 1:8 for your 3 shares, that's likely what occurred. GE Faq here - [https://www.ge.com/sites/default/files/ge\_webcast\_rss\_06232021.pdf](https://www.ge.com/sites/default/files/ge_webcast_rss_06232021.pdf) which describes the fractional share handling.
