Hi, nice topic. regarding ORCL: Although they have bough a lot of companies they are like a mainframe company now. I have been working with their products since 2010 and me and all my colleagues are on the opinion that Microsoft is going to take their market share sooner or later. Of course for the next 4-5 years ORCL will remain the nr1 player in the industry.

My stocks currently:
SWX: VONN
TSE: TD
NYSE: FLO
NYSE: STNG

BSMX ( mexican bank that rose today along with the peso. If you believe this contradicts the result of the debate maybe you should make a move.)

NFLX (got a downgrade from DB today. Compared to other banks DB is more of a hedge fund, and seeing how desperate they are to get investors back i would say that i trust their call. Keep note that i am short in DB)

TSLA ( Expect a rally until december and get ready to short. Loving the meme structure of this company.)

Twtr ( Massive gains on this little birdie. The snapchat IPO appears to have scared off buyers and brought down the stock 20% in 2 days. There will be attempts to show how live-sports can keep the company going but all in all server costs combined with very low NFL raitings this year do not bode well for this company. Curently i am waiting for a 14-15$ price, i am not suggesting you buy even then though.)

>>1556186
I'm a student of the markets and I'm all for making /biz/ great again!

Questions for you OP
is your thread for fundamental analysis for buy and hold only?
what about other types of analysis such as price action based technical analysis, indicator based technical analysis, intermarket analysis, sentiment analysis, orderflow, tapereading, and metagame analysis?
what time frames are acceptable in this thread? position(3M+), swing(1W+), shortterm(1D-1W), and maybe even intraday trading?

AAP - sector performs well during hard economic times, new management team, activist investors with great track record are involved, low debt, low volatility, there have been takeover rumors several times in the past, good margins, low pe ratio, conservative buy with lots of upside

>>1556186
Looking at $STML just makes 52 week highs everyday, might be good to hold for 2 day swing, sell when RSI hits 80 or so.

WFC looking to come back after the dip. 50 SMA could cross 200 SMA soon. If that happens chart analysis voodoo will kick in, I guess.

I looked a bit around in in their last 10q and some analysts forecast.

I can't approximate how much the accounting scandal will show up in their next report on Oct. 14 but the forecast consensus isn't all that ambitious. We could be in for a better-than-expected surprise.

Anyway, it seems to be a steal at this price.

Also if looking for a good long term investment, get BEI or HEN3. Both Dax-Companies and known for steady gains and regular dividends. I think HEN3 payd dividendes for a hundred years or so in a row.

There was an article on Spiegel Online about inflation finally accelerating here in Europe and the latest CPI indicators pointed towards higher inflation as well. Of course, this could mean that ECB will tighten monetary policy, but since both companies are consumer staples their earnings won't be affected much by rising consumer prices.

>>1556449

If forecasts interest you so much why not just go watch the weather channel?

>>1556596

What's the matter? Traders react to them.

>>1556607

>>1556186
i told this to every fuckingbody in my investors club and I will tell you this now shorttwitter if anyone wants further explanation I wouldbe happy to give it.

>>1556674

I'm listening anon

>>1556645

I'm fairly optimistic that the markets overreacted to the scandal. It will be business as usual soon. See Volkswagen. The markets are fucking nuts.

LSE:IQE - established UK tech company making advanced semiconductor wafers and supplying most of the mobile phone industry. Diversified into power supply and solar. Ripe for vertical acquisition IMO. Solid management and consistent yet low profitability.

LSE:TSCO - unloved contrarian share that is now bouncing back. Some accounts irregularities killed the share price recently and Buffet sold out, however it is the dominant market leader, has an enormous asset base and unrivaled market penetration. Fears about German discounters are overdone IMO.

DYOFR

Anyone know much about the mining sector?

>>1556700
the only reason wfc has not plummeted is because there's an election underway.

WFC is still too high in my opinion.

>>1556705
It's volatile and I've lost big on a couple of miners.

Look at LSE:CEY - it's a small debt-free gold miner with massive potential. Good cash flow, excellent growth prospects and it's paying out dividends already. It's risky as there is an ongoing legal case that could kill the business. But - if you're willing to gamble - in the event of a victory, it will get rerated by the analysts and most probably get some institutional interest. DYOFR.

>>1556747
is DYOFR some meme stock?

STNG will definitely hurt when European consumption for energy falls lower than expectations. It will probably head to new lows.
Havent looked into much on VONN, TD (can't find them on google). FLO is doing pretty well today, it's a long term loser (see YTD, you will have to convince me otherwise), but for short term, good for pump dumps.

>> Not sure too much about food market, as I specc'd mostly in energy, tech, utilities. But every time consumption data hits the market. Food market get hits worse than energy. And food stock in general performed worse off the last month. However I asked a fellow trader for a random food quote. He suggested ADM, Archer-Midland Co. You will have to do the researching yourself as he did not provide anymore data other than it's a good buy at next low, I'm afraid

BSMX was decently hedged, since most every knows DJ Trump will make an ass of himself at the debate and will "- to -" lose. Might as well go in to FOREX

NFLX, Yes it's at a high. All signs indicate it will keep falling, maybe losing all of its October gains, current headline says CEO Netflix say China entry no good, but I'm getting weird signals on daily & monthly buy/sell <see link>. The Short in DB is fine. they can only put it off for so long, hell I dunno, but as stated not until sometimes next year
<http://www.investing.com/equities/netflix,-inc.>

TSLA Dunno about. Hear crying about it mid August. Feel like it's overvalued. Consumer data this Falls going to hit it like a bitch.

Twtr is utter cancer, My prejudice prevents me from giving you any helpful details other than that it and FB has defied investor expectations. I would do more research, but I hate it.

shortterm (1D-1W), no intraday. I'd stick with fundamentals so that even the thickest of ridgebrows would be able to follow a train of thought.

However don't let me discourage you. Just explain how, why market forcast may shift. And unless you plan to right individual report on respective markets. A summary analysis is more than sufficient.

>>1556402
NVIDIA/ AMD stable atmo. I just don't trust their data and have kept out of them for the most part. Lithium is going down atmo, consumer data november hits will take it down further, good time to buy in then. It will rise back up, that's excepting nothing else like the Samsung batteries causes it to be dumped en masse again.

>options is literally gambling

Options provides the best way available to manage risk. Please leave this board and go back to r9k until you read a single Investopedia entry

>>1556449

Yes. Agreed. Both a strong performing dollar. And the fact that even with the 1 year ban by Chicago, I think we saw the end of the group lawsuit. They took advantage of double jeopardy clause came clean on 3 or 4 quarters earnings, got a tap on the wrist. Financially they are solid, sitting n massive piles of liquid if I'm not mistaken. Just in Interest from their reserves alone turn a decent profit every quarter, as long as their renewed forays into European derivatives doesnt come bite them in their asses again they should be fine.

Good catch anon. I'm buying in tomorrow as soon as markets reopen.

>>1556584
No idea for those. Even after reading upon them I have nothing. Explain please or sell me

Other than long straddle as hedge, I have begun to steer clear of it. Mostly if the risk for a stock is too great I stay clear of it. That's why I don't have bouncees like XOM. And I have found to my delight I don;t need to use the straddles quite as often

BTW, since you tilted me
>> "It's risky as there is an ongoing legal case that could kill the business. But - if you're willing to gamble - in the event of a victory, it will get rerated by the analysts and most probably get some institutional interest. DYOFR"

I've chosen to accept the risk that institutional investors must avoid. That's my "edge" on this share. There is a lot of political back story that I'm not typing out, but i consider the odds of victory are good. I'm 100% up already, and it's a personal favourite of mine.

It's my own money at stake and I'm investing over 5yrs+, not trading.

current long positions:

Imagination technologies (IMG:Lon) GPU IP supplier to apple iphones, ipads. Unloved, but clearly an acquisition target due to consolidation in semiconductor space.

HSBC: Perfect dollar hedge (Im in UK) that has gone up 50% in last 4 months and yielded a 7% divi before brexit.

GSK: Consumer healthcare play. Perfectly diversified pharma company. Pipeline looks a bit shit, but well placed for EM. Currently sitting on 5% gain, but this is purely GBP depreciation driven and not sentiment.

Rolls royce: bought this when an activist investor stepped in and upped its stake. was down one time almost 20% on position when it touched 500p, now just about breakeven at 770p. Good play on growing airplane demand and travel.

SBIO: Nasdaq biotech index tracker fund. Biotech enthusiasm is cylical, and its due a rebound. currently sitting on 10% gain.

Glencore: Price of copper/oil/agri set to go up as input prices go up in USD. leveraged play on commodity recovery, but has done a solid job of deleveraging. Am carrying a 300+% return on current holdings in this stock.

Long ishares Mexico etf, Turkey etf and Brazil etf. Brazil is my favourite EM play, companies are ridiculously well capitalised and cash rich and trading near book or below book value.

Short:

Valeant -> this piece of shit has an altmann z score of like 0.13 and will probably go under in the next five years. I buy OTM puts on this every other quarter from dividend proceeds on the offchance it dies an early death.

salesforce.com: biz model based on pants gnomes. If you pay everyone in stock options, whats your company really worth?

mallinckrodt: Bought questcor, which sells some pig based snake oil medicine. Waiting for them to write down that shit and take a big hit.

Have fun with your .08% gains that won't even cover commissions.

>>1557933
Yes and no. It's a specialty within finance called distressed equity. Energy stocks during the February oil crash would fall under this for instance. If it genuinely is able to navigate that environment, it will be worth 1000% over what the distressed company is trading for at it's worst moment. CHK went from 1.8 in Feb to 6.5 now. Its risky, and requires significant amounts of DD, but it is worth it if it goes your way.
SHLD is heading towards distressed equity territory, but I don't have much faith in it being able to turn around, so I'm short.

It's inevitable. There's too many people who are just looking for some get-rich-quick-scheme and in the process, it turns out that it's really just other people getting rich off of them. They're also enamored with owning a numerically high amount of shares of something because they think it makes a difference in how much money they stand to make if the stock goes up.

Nice work, I was tempted to buy in when all that drama happened last year, only I didn't have the time for research back then. Plus I got burned on a couple of other commodity shares - once bitten, twice shy.

I looked into IMG last night but I can't really see it turning around just yet. There were rumours today about an apple takeover, I hope it comes through for you.

Turkey and Brazil are interesting. I hate Turkey's current leadership but if they join the EU it will be time to pop the champagne.

Brazil was on my radar before the Olympics however the media put me off with talk of corruption. Petrobras seems to be bouncing back after their scandal. I might take a punt.

No I think it's worthwhile. Maybe not for the majority of people here though. Just keep in mind your investing amount will need to be pretty high to make a substantial profit. But ignoring any stock that has the potential to make good returns on investments is dumb IMO. There isn't a damn thing wrong with investing in sub $5, $3, or even .10 cent stocks.

Thank you!

Going to move out of stocks soon. And into FOREX. Anyone can recommend me a board?

BTW. Options is insuring risk by taking on a risk onto itself. Given volatility and background speculation these thing bet on market movers which makes this a speculation onto itself. with something like 65-35 odds.Maybe I'm completely fazed by DB (Almost shorted, but forgot and hadn't touched my account). DBK I bought into on low. Legit went to the moon 8.7%gain one day (13.73). I trust shorting now as much as I trust Yalen keeping her word for interest up December. Perhaps I was too rash on Options as a whole. My apologies

Vertical Puts on the SPY for like 204/205 have a risk reward of 1/3 for Jan expiry. Nov elections and Rate hike should drive it down there. 1k will make you 3k.

Nothing really special right now about them, they're really just very reliable, low volatility stocks with great dividend earnings. They're the kind of stock you can buy in 999 out of 1000 cases.

I feel opposite. Since Fed rescue package, they're clear and sitting on alot of fat capital with continued 0% to even negative. It's so profitable all the US banks are doing it and only halfheartedly going back into derivatives when everyone was chasing the highs. It would be a easy thing for them to trigger a "containable" derivatives meltdown, put EU into a slight financial crisis, since volatility in derivatives makes the market so fragile at the moment. Hence also why I feel like going into Forex for the dollar. If they 'predict' this, and also feel oil will top $58, and scare Trump/Hilary to pledge 0% next 4 years I see nl reason for them not to do it. There's no love lost between American and EU businesses. When 09 Deutche tried to place blame on Americans had multiple lawsuits by EU and its constituent nations. It was only when the US threatened to do the same both received a pat on the wrist. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but banks are vendictive greedy little shits, and given how they allowed Lehmen(Lehmen, Stearns did not bail out someone in 90s?) to fail but half was swallowed by Euro and not them, I think they also want to dominate the other side Atlantic. Deutche gone, HSBC?,Barclays, every single one exposes greater than 50% equity in derivative will turn tits up. Never heard of a vertical put, but again the assumed risk varies greatly given our two expectations. Thanks for the example, will watch more Investing com videos

Oracle realizes companies are moving off their databases and onto the cloud infrastructure (IaaS), which Amazon and Google are market leaders in.

It's databases still represent about 80-90% of its revenue.

To counter that trend of inevitable death, it's invested significantly in its own IaaS, PaaS (middleware), and SaaS (trying to move its legacy license customers onto it).

IaaS growth is meager, and there's little sign to suggest Oracle will seriously be able to compete with Amazon.

However, it's been seeing modest growth in its SaaS. Like Microsoft and a few other companies, Oracle provides SaaS for nearly every line of business, so it competes with Salesforce (CRM) just as much as Workday, ADP (HCM), Netsuite (ERP) (which it's still trying to purchase).

It more or less has SaaS for every category, and it's main selling point is how it offers a complete integration for all of its business solutions. Only problem? Its CRM is balls compared to Salesforce (and it's making far fewer investments in AI, unlike SF), its HR SaaS is good in some areas (talent acquisition, talent management) but not the best in others, and its ERP, while offering many solutions, is constantly competing with many other companies who sometimes specialize in particular industries.

Oracle is making a huge bet on it successfully evolving into a cloud company, and, according to Mark Hurd himself, the biggest bet is on SaaS. Having heard Hurd speak (no pun intended), I can guarantee you that he believes all enterprise SaaS will be consolidated in 2-3 main companies within 10 years time.

However, new, leaner startups with huge investment behind them are constantly popping up and eating market share. I don't know why he's so sure that the SaaS market will get so consolidated (with, as he hopes, Oracle as one of the major players) when, in my eyes, it's getting more and more competitive, and companies like purchasing SaaS that is niche and tailored to their interest/field. (1/2)

To me, there is little indication companies want a whole integrated SaaS suite provided by a single company. Perhaps I'm misreading the market, but that's my impression. And given that Oracle is only providing stellar products in some of its SaaS, while the rest of its solutions may often be total shit, I don't see any reason why Oracle would succeed in being one of those 2-3 major players, were that even to take place.


Lastly, unlike Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Salesforce, etc., Oracle's R&D, although respectable, isn't actually pushing forward into making its products more innovative, but rather just more complete / adding more features. I usually press my manager to really make me see the innovations in our solutions that distinguish us from the competition, but usually the innovations are fairly basic things (in terms of the engineering behind them) that we just got out to market first, without even real market data suggesting its what customers want.

Oracle is betting on its M&A enabling it to gobble up marketshare in SaaS, but, like I said, these newer start-up players keep emerging, and there's only so much you can do to try to get market share when new players keep taking some marketshare of their own (that's my view, but maybe I misunderstand the market dynamics).

Long story short, with such a huge bet on its SaaS, and with market trends, imo, contradicting the vision Mark Hurd sees for SaaS, plus no guarantee that Oracle will in fact emerge as one of the 2-3 major SaaS players even if Hurd's predictions come true, I don't see Oracle as a good long investment.

I typed these out without looking over them, so excuses the "it's" that were actually meant to be "its"

I barely understood any of that
Your grammar is the least of my problems

WFC - Because of potential over hype. Purchased while Strumpft was getting his ass reamed. Not a bad dividend. Potential rise when interest rates increase

RDS-A - Good stock, good dividend. Price hasn't really recovered so it's a good time to get in. Lots of long term projects which comes in handy when oil rebounds years from now. Dividend is nice - taking it as cash and putting it into DRIP (same with WFC)

I had some 3-6 month CDs coming due soon because I think the market overall is overvalued if interest rates do rise. I planned on doing nothing with the money. Interest rates likely to rise after the election. Will have more cash.

It's tough "missing out" on gains but this market is for trading, not the buy and hold meme - that shit was from 2010-mid2015

Because AMD is a gambler's stock. There is nothing about it which is investment worthy. AMD is losing money and projected to continue losing money, their revenue has declined steadily from 2011 through 2015, they have high long term debt, total debt is steadily increasing, total equity has dropped into negative territory as of 2015 (part of a steady decline since 2011), total operating cash flow has been negative since 2011, they have had negative free cash flow since 2011, and their gross profit margin is well below its peers meaning that they have little to no pricing power with their products.

This is pretty much everything you *don't* want to see in a company and pretty much the opposite story of Intel and NVidia. When you buy AMD, you're just gambling that someone might be able to turn it around which is by no means an investment, but a speculation. This isn't to say that it can't happen, but that it is not an investment.

>>1563411
Oh. Hm. I actually have some AMD stock and it went up by like 30% and I was regretting not getting more of it since it was so cheap.

But I guess that all makes sense. Nvidia has been my powerhouse since I got into this.

Though all stocks are fucking down again today. Fuck.

Interesting insight.

I would expect Oracle to own patented IP to prevent new entrants from stealing it's market share.

when will HRTX skyroket? Plz send help, i'm all in

Makes sense to me: That's the realm of the Robinhood General. It's all penny stocks.

Hey guys - what level of diversification do you have in your portfolios?

Currently I have 15 approximately equal sized plays across different sectors, favoring the ones I'm most well versed in and are performing well.

I'm pretty unfamiliar with diversifying amongst bluechip/mid cap/small cap though. What do you look for there, and also do you mix different levels of volatility?

>>1565560
I uh, have about 1000 bucks in stock in four "tech" companies. They aren't volatile in the slightest.

Not enough research to feel comfortable buying like oil stock.

No one has input on this?

Moving into FOREX soon. But great insight. This is what I hope this thread can share. I will only invest into this a bit longer before it starts showing signs of risk. Financially it's been a great earner with something like 186% for me since 2015? Will look into salesforece and the other you mentioned. Already researching in MS, G.

Where the fuck do I start in trading stocks? I got like 700 bucks I can spare to start trading
