Why I need to know: As a programming portfolio project, I want to make a 'mock market' where fake stocks change price based on market forces. I've googled around but can't find any specific formula or algorithm that does this.

I understand the concept of "people buy, price goes up, people sell, price goes down". This is straightforward and makes sense, but is not detailed enough for what I need to know.

Lately, I am paying very close attention to healthcare sector because they are getting hammered significantly and some of them are trading at close to 52 weeks low. Some of them that I am interested in are PFE, BMY, ABBV, and CVS. Is it time to get into it now or it has a room to fall further? What matrix and indicators are you watching to determine when to dive especially for healthcare sector? Is it better to toy with options rather than buying stocks for this

Early 2022, displayed a stock price for the symbol AFRM ranging from $45-$79, but now the stock is around 13 dollars per share. I know the stock had IPO-ed early 2021 and the initial share price was $117, could the share price just be adjusting to its real value or what exactly is the issue? The P/E ratio is very low, so I may be wrong on the whole overvalued argument. If you have any information, please feel free to share. Thanks in advance for any information!

I started buying STWD during the pandemic when the price was lower and the yield was near 13%. I continued to buy more and overall I’ve lost money on the investment so far (down 8.85%). This is frustrating to watch during a time where tech and the overall market have gained in the past 6 months. It still pays a good dividend but with their exposure to some commercial real estate I’m worried it could see further losses from here. I do think it’s probably underval

I’ve heard this term being tossed around while doing research on stocks like Google and Apple. My guess is referring to how both stocks price per share isn’t directly correlated with its performance, but rather on buyer demand (position transaction wise) I may be wrong, but please help me to understand such term. Any information regarding this is greatly appreciated. Thanks i’m advance!

This week's casual valuation is Zoom. I hope you enjoy these posts and feel free to add your take.

Disclaimer: I do not own shares in Zoom

The post is divided into the following sections:

• Zoom today vs. Zoom 4 years ago
• My previous valuation of Zoom (March 2022)
• Historical financial performance
• The bad news
• Revenue split
• Management's story (and what is misleading)

Think I’m going to buy hard into this. It actually has a product and meme energy. Sitting pretty low now. I have 2.7k shares and another 14k to drop into shares next week. I’m just not sure if I want to swing trade it or hold it long term, so I wanted to see how you all think the chances of it growing long term are. Might sell some covered calls at a strike I’d be fine with them getting called away. I can’t decide! Let me know what you all think. Cheers!

As the market continues to price in higher interest rates for longer, there is opportunity in owning floating rate securities.

NDAQ has been outperforming the s&p 500 for nearly a decade until now. When news of the deal purchasing Adenza (formerly calypso) broke the stock tumbled to $50

NDAQ says they are pivoting toward fintech rather than just exchange operation due to narrowing margins and limited growth. Not only did they purchase Adenza but they did so at what appears to be a very expensive price. Calypso was purchased by private equity for ~3.4b in 2021. Only 2 years la

There's historic amounts of money in these MMF yielding 5% risk free right now. Is it fair to assume that all this capital will rotate into the market once interest rates come back to earth. How much impact could it actually have?

One of the questions that many META shareholders have is, what is the impact of Threads on the company’s value?

Hi redditors,

Looking to put 50% of my portfolio into one or two of these ETFs. I want to get everyones opinion on these and see what you guys would recommend.
As of now, i'm leaning towards 25% QQQ and 25% VOO. Looks like VGT has outperformed both of these ETFs though so not sure why everyone recommends QQQ. VUG is also a good one but I think I would rather pick VOO. I understand there is a good amount of overlap

A surge in US real yields, reflecting the return on bonds adjusted for inflation, has raised concerns among investors about the implications for riskier assets such as stocks. The yield on 10-year inflation-protected securities (Tips) reached 1.82% on Friday, the highest level since 2009, as investors increasingly anticipated the Federal Reserve maintaining higher interest rates to combat inflation.

Real yields serve as a vital indicator of borrowing cost

Hi,

So the general rule for etf investing is to choose safe etf investing like a broad market index like sp500 or a total world index like $VT.

If a VT index or sp500 weren't available. What would you chose? Basically they are deemed be relatively low risk. Now if you wanted something risky with ETFS. Does that exist?

I have the basic total index and 50% other side in sp500 for "safe". If I couldn't choose that, I'd go

Should I go for the lowest s&p 500 or more high?

So I'm more so new to stocks but I've been invested in s&p 500 and was recommended to choose voo over spy mainly due to how much lower the shares are but don't get me wrong there still high 396$. But thus made me think about changing to lower or just staying where I am, I see much lower ones but idrk so should I invest in one that's lower like 25 per share or one that's higher li

the catch with the IPO is you can't sell it within 10 years

IPO is selected at random for new IPO's coming available of the week. You don't know anything about the company until you've already locked in on that option. If it goes bankrupt at any time, of course you get no money and you can't use it for a tax write off in this scenario.

Over the past two weeks, a comprehensive set of economic data has provided economists and investors with a detailed understanding of the US economy. Notably, today’s market reversal was driven by a shift in market expectations for the Federal Reserve’s target rate, presenting a challenging path forward for the stock market and raising uncertainties.

The latest labor market data revealed a hint of tepidness in the June nonfarm payrolls report. Job growth o

Does a Federal Interest Rate Hike usually result in stock market prices to go down? For example, with the upcoming federal interest rate meeting this month on July 25/26, will the prices of stocks in general be going down or expected to go down? Are there other factors to consider besides the federal interest rate hike?

I apologize if this is a silly question, but I'm interested in how certain factors affect the market or may not affect the market. Th

I bought some $NVDA in a swing about 6 months ago and I'm at %110 and doubled the value. For such a short time, I feel like I should pull out and reinvest it into something else, but the ape in me says I should hold out for as long as possible. I don't need the money. Just wondering what you guys would do.

Today, while exploring other people's desks in my office, I noticed that my own desk was empty. This realization prompted me to consider bringing some items from my home desk and purchasing new things to personalize my workspace.

However, when I searched online, I came across some websites that seemed shady, and I'

What companies are going to profit from the record heat, wildfires, etc?

Hey, I'm new to investing. I bought one share of Tesla stock when it was at a small high of 279, and I know the saying is "Buy High, Sell Low." It looks like I lost about $3.29. I'm planning on holding the stock long-term, but should I sell it and try buying it again at a low?

I'm pretty new to investing and so haven't really diversified my portfolio so far. I've mostly invested in NU bank, which has made an incredible comeback over the last few months.

Ever since the attempted coup in Russia, the possibility of the war ending is the highest it’s been since Russia first invaded Ukraine. There is no way to know when the war will end, it could be years away, it could be weeks away. No one knows the real answer to when the war will end, probably not even Putin himself. So instead of speculating if/when the war will end, let’s for arguments sake, pretend the war ends next week. What stocks/industries would be most

Wanting to know if anyone has invested in the oracle algorithm to research and or buy stocks. I like to do my own research when buying stocks but understand that if I could remove the emotional aspect that would also be baller.

I’m a new and when I research a stock, what am I looking for? Obviously it’s helpful if they have an uptrend, but what are green flags the I should jump on, and what are red flags I should stay away from?

I think Zoom ($ZM) is in trouble.

Zoom benefited significantly from the pandemic, as the demand for its products surged. The revenue growth in 2020 was 88%, followed by 326% in 2021 and still an impressive 55% in 2022.

I’m wondering if any of you guys are looking into LXRX as a good buy, I’m literally brand new to stocks but I seen the CFO and other insiders were buying up shares, I’m assuming this is a good sign lol, is it on anyones radar? Any advice on investing into this stock?

Is anyone bullish on this stock? I’m reading differing opinions. A large group thinks it’s surging recently because of chatgpt only and is not a good long term hold. Their financials aren’t great right now but they’re new. Is this a short term or long term hold in your opinion. Or neither

Hi!

I was recently looking over some financial statements for Disney and noticed on their balance sheet they carry a significant amount of "goodwill":

Polestar delivered 15,800 vehicles in Q2, a more than 36% annual jump

Interesting option for those who want EV exposure beyond the usual suspect(s). I opened a small position a few months ago and plan to hold long-term.

It’s sort of funny seeing everyone stressing out about Fed interest rate hikes, inflation, recession, etc.

Isn’t it true that all the known economic risks that people are discussing today are priced into the markets? If the risks are in the minds of the public long enough then it is less likely to occur, or be as severe.

In the history of the stock market, it seems as though the biggest crashes and worst disasters were black swan events that obvi

It has always been this way that there are as many people buying as there are selling on any given day. No matter the volume level, this is true. Granted certain events spark more action than others, but even on the most boring days, there is someone to take the other side of every trade execution. Maybe this is not so amazing, but it is to me. Sellers think it is time to sell and buyers think the opposite.

I bought Intel earlier last month because I felt like the company was undervalued. It is America's Semiconductor and shows a lot of potential with the Ai-chip making industry. I am, however, aware that the company financials over the past 4 quarters haven't really been the best.

Are the price of ETFs driven only by the value of their underlying holdings, or are they also subject to demand?

Put another way, say you have two ETFs. The ETFs are exactly the same (underlying holdings, expense ratios, anything else you can think of). The single difference between the two is that the first is very well known (discussed on all the forums, talked about it the media). The second ETF is less well known and is not on top of people's mind

Basically that, i bought around 200K of VTI in November 2021 near the top and after nearly 18 months i'm close to break even finally. I was thinking in selling 60k of those to buy SGOV once i'm in the green instead, as its paying 5% annually. My idea is to have more of my assets as "liquid cash" ready to use that at least is getting a nice 5%, instead of having nearly all my assets into VTI which was invested as a lump sum at the worst possible
