Newbie investor here.
Just for argument's sake. Say I have $150K to invest in stocks. Is there a recommended limit to the number of positions and types of securities in a portfolio? Is there such a thing as "too diversified" of a portfolio? Or the more basket, the better?
To discuss something different from the usual best picks for the next five years, I am looking for stocks that will not generate returns. This means that poorly performing stocks are not allowed because you could make money by shorting them. So basically i am looking for stocks that will be flat with no dividends for the next 5 years. What are your picks? (No etf or bonds allowed).
Wall Street expects a year-over-year decline in earnings on lower revenues when Fidelity National Information Services (FIS) reports results for the quarter that ended March 2023. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.
The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectat
New to stocks/investing and apologies if this is a dumb question.
Correct me if I'm wrong (and likely I am), Market cap = outstanding shares X current stock price.
When a company goes public, how does it decide whether to go the route of selling lower volume of shares:higher stock price or selling higher volume of shares:lower stock price?

Hey, guys currently I am working on an Economics Project where I have essentially $100,000 to spend on stocks and that will be the final of my school year. I am fairly new to the concepts of stocks since this was the first day we learned about them and I was wondering what are some good recommendations to invest in to make a profit. We are using a stock simulator to use $100,000 but the simulator is accurate with the actual stock market. Basically we invest but
So I'm new to stocks and I noticed that the shares I buy always go above the price I bought them for within the first few days. I was wondering why people don't just sell at this point and either buy the shares back in a few days when it goes down or just buy another stock. Why do alot of people hold for months/years when they could make a very good profit doing what I suggested?
After growing at a very moderate rate for a decade, it suddenly shot up from a low of $21 in March of 2020. I realize that this low is close to many other stock lows because of Covid, but it seems to have risen significantly more than others following this, reaching a high of $141 in august of 2021. It then plummeted to $75 in June of that same year. It has risen 52% in the past year to reach a new ATH of $146.

I heard someone once mention that money market funds that invest in government treasuries aren’t exactly risk free.
But they strike me as more risk free than holding cash in a broker that could potentially go bankrupt themselves.
Which is considered more risk free? Just straight cash or a money market fund like VUSXX that invests in government securities?

Hi, I just inherited something like 11 to 25 shares in paypal from my dad (i cant figure out how many i actually have because the Ameritrade website is hella confusing). I know basically nothing about stocks, all I know is the google report for paypal shares say theyve gone down from 300 to 75 or so in the past two years, which makes me wonder if I dropped the ball by not paying any attention. At the moment my portfolio says its worth around 2k, but i have no cl
