Fidelity uses the FIFO algorithm for lot selection when selling stocks but this isn’t very optimal for minimizing cap gains tax. It has the ”tax sensitive” algorithm which instead selects lots to sell based on the most optimal tax impact. Is there ever a reason to not use “tax sensitive” algorithm?
I'm stressing about the debt ceiling talks. Is it me, or is the stock market way to calm right now? It sure seems very possible--maybe likely--that the US defaults on its loans.
This is not a political post. I'm only interested in the consequences for stocks. I've personally sold a big chunk of money on some ETFs on the chance that there's a serious pullback.
I just don't see how they square this deal. Both sides are too far a
Coronavirus lockdowns caused massive drops in the stock market which also appeared to be good times to invest after the dust settled and stocks started climbing against. So could something similar happen if the US defaults on its debt next month ? Of course not as bad as corona but still something.
Beginner investor here, been in the market for ~8 years now. I remember before COVID, everyone was screaming that a recession is due but we were in a bull market for quite a bit of time.
Now there are concerns of recession again, and with strong signs: current inflation rate, low unemployment, much lower productivity and output where you hear about specific/personal experiences from their work, lowered guidance from a lot of company earnings, and etc.
Over the last two or three months I’ve been building up a small account from a few hundred dollars to now nearly almost $2000 so I’m getting to the point where I will be able to open up a margin account on WeBull. It will allow me to make more trades per month, which is really the main benefit, but will also give me some extra security, knowing I have some leverage cash to use in case I need to average down on a position that I may be didn’t enter into very well
Hello, I am pretty new to investing into anything besides some basic index funds. I finally decided to take a risk and I chose a stock I really believe will do great in the long run. Since I started buying last year, it has been almost totally flat. In the past week it’s gone up 25% and I held off on buying it over and over because I thought it would tumble back down again. But boy do I wish I bought, because it keeps creeping higher and higher every day.
Say i'm in my 20's, i have a diversified portfolio of ETF's. I plan to keep them over a 20 year horizon minimum. Which disaster scenarios are there for me stockwise?
-Would i be able to recover from a crash?
-Which safer options with comparable profit are there? (Except real estate)
-what to do in case of a crash?
-anything else i should know?
I recently started practicing the DCF method for valuation on some stocks. I use the historical data about revenue, EBIT, etc. that I find on EDGAR of the company and use the changes in these values combined with the forecasts of Wall str. of the next two years (2024 and 2025) to create 3 scenarios of evolution per metric.
After completing a DCF valuation of ACI (or Albertsons Companies), the conclusion of my calculations is that the stock would be severe
Chevron said in their announcement of acquiring PDC energy that the acquisition will lower their carbon intensity. How? PDC exclusively deals in oil and gas . There might be some synergies in exploration and production but I can't imagine they would offset what the added CO2 emissions from final product would be.
It seems to me that integrated energy companies have given up on even pretending to care about the environment with oil (mainly) and gas ret
I see a lot of talk about what could happen if the US defaults… I’m having trouble finding insight into what we can expect the market to do if the US doesn’t.
Let’s assume a default results in a 50% downside, does no default result in anything significant?
I’m having a hard time figuring this out. Any insight, pricing models, or relevant posts would be appreciated.
Thanks!
