81 | 338 | Shopify is replacing customer service with AI chatbots | null | 147 comments | 2023-07-19 | Per Nandini Jammi on Twitter -- her source is violating their NDA:https://twitter.com/nandoodles/status/1681694042256449536Shopify is slowly firing customer support teams across English-speaking markets and replacing them with chatbots. This will result in longer wait times during the transition.Speaking personally, I find dealing with robots in customer support much more difficult than dealing with actual human beings.In my opinion, this will lead to a significantly worse customer experience and takes SHOP off my watchlist. Customers, in my opinion, may seek support elsewhere. I don't know how competitive Shopify's market is but this strikes me as a very bad decision when scaling their network up.What are your thoughts? | 2023-07-24 |

88 | 2 | JNJ Spinoff Outcome? | null | 8 | 2023-07-20 | Can someone explain the potential outcome of this? If they go with the second option, I will have to choose between JNJ or Kenvue? I am assuming this will have less of an impact on the price but I kind of wanted to own both stocks after the split.
According to the DOW newswire -
Then, J&J dropped a bombshell. It still holds around 90% of Kenvue shares, and it had said previously that it plans to dispose of the rest in one of two ways: either through a spinoff, where J&J shareholders receive distributions of Kenvue stock, or a split-off, whereby J&J shareholders could choose to exchange their shares for Kenvue ones.
On Thursday, J&J Chief Financial Officer Joseph Wolk said the company would opt for the latter split-off option, and that "the launch of the tender could occur as early as the coming days." | 2023-07-24 |
89 | 56 | Is it worth diversifying and investing in any other countries or is sticking with the US the best bet? | null | 175 | 2023-07-19 | I’ve been thinking lately that while I am diversified (s&p 500, bonds, 401k with stock index funds) it’s all purely in the American market.
Well, what if the US fails?
And I’ve done research and the other big players either don’t have markets to actually invest in via traditional means or are just are way more risky.
The first one is obviously china. The problem with them is the major demographic crisis (seriously, do a little research about it, it’s insane and they’ll have double the amount of old people compared to young soon) and the fact that they LIE an outrageous amount, and also steal IPs and designs a crazy amount.
The CCPs power is outrageous and practically owns everything over there. I’ll pass.
Next is the EU. I genuinely can’t remember the last European product I’ve bought. Other then adidas, I can think of a few companies (most are german). Mercedes, adidas, BMW, and maybe some energy companies. They own some big fashion brands like LV
But honestly? I’d rather invest in Nike, Tesla, etc. every one of those companies has an American counterpart.
They are having issues with stagnation and with their very regulation heavy economy and their big demographic issues, I’d just rather invest in the US.
Japan? Don’t get me started on Japan. What a joke of a economy with their stagnation.
I’d love to hear your guys thoughts on this. | 2023-07-24 |

95 | 9 | I’m tired of paying $75 to trade VTSAX… | null | 34 comments | 2023-07-20 | I’ve been with Charles Schwab for many many years, simply because I just happened to open an acct with them on a whim. The problem started when I bought VTSAX, a great fund that made a lot of money. Every time I’ve added I’ve had to pay this dumb fee. I can’t sell it all and mover over to Vanguard because I’d have a taxable event. So, should I just start investing into VTI instead since it’s free and stop adding into VTSAX? Is it essentially the same thing? Would love any advise! | 2023-07-24 |

97 | 0 | Time to Sell? | null | 31 comments | 2023-07-20 | I just watched a video via CNBC (I'm sure others here are familiar) about the list of billionaires, CEOs, etc. selling off hundreds of millions worth of their stocks totaling up to about 9 billion dollars combined so far this year... I'm sure I am not the only one that finds this to be some sort of red flag but I am curious to hear other's thoughts on this matter. Is the stock market dying with the rise of alternative solutions (crypto, other digital currencies)? Are we going to see that drop/recession we've been predicting? Do they know something we don't? I've always found that "following the money" works effectively and shouldn't be ignored. Am I just overthinking here? What do you think? | 2023-07-24 |

100 | 10 | China is going full force to challenge ChatGPT and Nvidia's leadership in AI | null | 17 comments | 2023-07-19 | China can’t resist the FOMO. It’s ramping up its ambitions in semiconductors and AI – in pursuit of global tech leadership that it sees as vital for both military and commercial goals.The nation's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is shifting its stance on AI development, moving away from its initial efforts to restrict and censor the tech.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-07-19/china-tech-overseer-plans-computing-power-push-to-back-ai-boomChinese internet giants like Alibaba, Baidu, and JD.com are collaborating with academics and entrepreneurs to create a rival to OpenAI; and domestic chip manufacturers are working on creating chips that might, in some distant dreamland, reach the level of Nvidia's excellence.Plus, to support these efforts, China is scalping top tech talent from Europe. Around 30,000 experts, primarily from the semiconductor and telecom equipment industries, left European tech companies to join Chinese firms over the past two decades. US officials say that China has been offering cash grants and tax breaks to Chinese nationals abroad as an incentive for them to move back/ share trade secrets.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2023-07-19/china-s-semiconductor-ambitions-fuel-european-brain-drain | 2023-07-24 |
101 | 0 | I can't invest in Tesla because it cannot have the growth investors think they will have | null | 98 comments | 2023-07-20 | Look, I'm a very regular investors, I'm far below any of you guys, but I'm a software engineers and I know well the industry and I worked with a lot of ex-tesla employees.I'm very bullish on their charging network grid, i'm ok with their car line-up, but when it comes to their growth with project like AI, self-driving, if they have not completed 50% of the work so far, from now on, any new tech project at Tesla will go nowhere unless they are extremely lucky.There is 1 reason for that, Tesla can not hire software engineers talent. It's not a new thing, Tesla is well known for:Compensation below industry average leaderNo work-life balanceNo job securityAny talented software engineer good enough to receive an offer from one of the leader in the tech industry, will never choose Tesla over other offers.What has saved Tesla until 2022/2023, was the Elon factor. But now, love or hate it, this Elon factor is no there anymore, a software engineer will request one of the top 3 above.I understand it will take a while before it becomes well known that Tesla cant give the growth they pretend they will have, it can take 5 years, a decade, because Elon is a good bullshiter, but it will come. | 2023-07-24 |

Also, the shape of the recovery slope is still unclear. ⚙️ However, our strong backlog of around €38 billion provides us with a good basis to navigate these short-term uncertainties. 📈 Due to strong DUV revenue and despite the increased uncertainties, ASML expects strong growth for 2023 with a net sales increase towards 30% and a slight improvement in gross margin, relative to 2022.ASML results | 2023-07-24 |

110 | 10 | Risks of index funds when everyone is buying them. | null | 26 comments | 2023-07-19 | Recently listened to a podcast where David Collum expressed his concerns about index funds.Basically when everyone is blindly throwing money into an index without looking at the valuation of the company it can cause companies to become overvalued. It can also lead to management making poor decisions that are not in the best interest of the shareholders since no one is holding them accountable because none of the index funds will sell due to poor decisions. The indexes only sell to rebalance.I definitely see where he’s coming from since the risk of the largest share holders (the index funds) significantly cutting a position for poor direction is essentially zero.A significant portion of my investments are indexes since I do feel they are safe but this has made me think a little more about that.

114 | 354 | Debating selling my Disney stock
Company Discussion | null | 640 | 2023-07-18 | I've been holding DIS for a few years but I'm currently down 25% overall. The company isn't looking great right now - Bob Iger seems to be doing a terrible job, the content is stale (people aren't getting excited by Star Wars anymore and Marvel movies are flopping left right and center), and there's even rumors that Disney is going to sell their TV business soon. Adding the Hollywood strike on top of that, it just seems like a recipe for disaster. Should I cut my losses now and put the money into an index fund instead? Or is DIS worth holding despite all the bad news?
UPDATE: I ended up selling half of my Disney shares and putting the money into Apple stock instead. If DIS keeps falling then I'll sell the remaining shares too. | 2023-07-24 |

118 | 143 | Looks like goldman chief economist cuts recession probability to 20%, dismisses yield-curve inversionwe going up? source below | null | 93 | 2023-07-18 | does it mean we are going up?
"Goldman’s chief economist, Jan Hatzius, trimmed the probability of a recession in the next 12 months to 20% from 25% — well below the 54% median among forecasters who participated in the last Wall Street Journey survey.
“The main reason for our cut is that the recent data have reinforced our confidence that bringing inflation down to an acceptable level will not require a recession,” said Hatzius.
Gross domestic product is tracking at a 2.3% annual rate, he said, as consumer sentiment has rebounded, unemployment has fallen back and jobless claims have reversed much of their minispike."

119 | 11 | Are all trades in South Africa NCBO? | null | 1 comment | 2023-07-19 | My client is buying and selling shares on the South African sharemarket. I’m responsible for checking that trades settle and match on time.However, with the way our system is setup it defaults our market instruction to CBO (Change of Beneficial Owner).The brokers contact me and always tell us that it needs to be NCBO (No Change of Beneficial Owner). All brokers have said the same thing and there doesn’t seem to be any exception. This means I need to manually cancel the automated instruction and then manually release new instructions as NCBO everytime my client trades in South Africa.I did a quick google search and it seems there are tax implications for CBO trades. It seems like the brokers are trying to avoid taxes by claiming it’s a NCBO trade.I questioned it to the brokers and I didn’t really get a straight answer. One broker made the claim that “all electronic trades are always NCBO” which sounds ridiculous to me.In my opinion, all on-market trades should be CBO and I can’t think of a scenario where it would be NCBO which makes me think the brokers are being dodgy. No other country has this issue.Is it correct that trades in South Africa are NCBO?Will me or my client get into trouble if it turns out we’ve been changing our instructions to NCBO incorrectly? | 2023-07-24 |

What is this bias nonsense? Look up WAL on Marketwatch, top three articles:"PacWest, Western Alliance, United Community Banks stocks lose ground in premarket""United Community Banks shares fall as ‘industry-wide deposit price competition’ weighs on results" -"Western Alliance stock falls more than 5%; bank seeks to ‘return to normal’ after banking crisis"Not a single blip about the big gain in price share yesterday? Just "down in pre-market"? I'm dying to know what the actual process is of getting an article on these running "recent news" tickers is - I mean do the shorts literally call up Marketwatch and say "hey, price went up, I wired you another $5K, I need 2 more hit pieces before market opens"?

124 | 250 | Chipotle signs first-ever franchise partner to open locations in the Middle East | null | 74 comments | 2023-07-18 | ERROR: type should be string, got "https://www.cnbc.com/2023/07/18/chipotle-middle-east-locations-coming-next-year-via-alshaya-group-deal.htmlChipotle announced Tuesday it has signed an agreement with Kuwait-based Alshaya Group, its first-ever franchise partner, to open locations in the Middle East next year. Chipotle currently has just over 50 locations in Canada and Europe. All are company owned and operated, as are its roughly 3,200 U.S. locations. The Alshaya agreement marks the first time Chipotle has enlisted a local franchise retail operator as it moves into a new market. Chipotle CEO Brian Niccol told CNBC in an interview that the initial plan calls for two locations each in Dubai and Kuwait, with exact locations yet to be determined.Keeping ingredients fresh and real, with local menu tweaks that echo the U.S. experience will be key, he added. “They’ve got great brands, great operations, great people programs, which just gave us confidence that they’d be able to execute the Chipotle proposition effectively in the Middle East,” Niccol said. In evaluating the Middle East market, Niccol said it was important to partner up to ensure success in everything from real estate to hiring to supply chain. Niccol said if the first few Middle East locations are successful, there will hopefully be hundreds more in the region down the line. He added the agreement could serve as a new model as the company looks to other markets. “As we look around the world, we’ll be evaluating all the elements of what makes Chipotle great and if there’s an area where we believe we need a partner, then we’ll consider a partner for it,”Niccol said. While the brand has enlisted a franchise partner in this specific expansion journey, don’t expect the franchising opportunity to arise in the U.S. Niccol said there is “no intention” to pursue that path right now. “Our return on invested capital in the U.S. is industry-leading,” he said. “We’ve got the balance sheet and capital available where we can handle the growth with our own capital capability, and I think we’ve demonstrated the ability to operate restaurants effectively.” Chipotle stock is up over 50% in 2023 and is one of the best performers in the restaurant sector." | 2023-07-24 |

133 | 223 | JP Morgan Chase earnings report | null | 46 comments | 2023-07-18 | The 2023 Q2 earnings report for JPMorgan Chase has just been released. Overall, the ER is a remarkable demonstration of the durability and power of the top bank. JPM's results, both top and bottom line, exceeded market forecasts. The fact that the bank declared a solid balance sheet during and after a highly tumultuous time for the banking industry is, in my opinion, more significant.The last one or two quarters have been described by certain media as the most difficult for banks since the 2008 crisis. JPM was able to keep a healthy standardised CET1 capital ratio of 13.8% even after the First Republic deal. J.P. Morgan was able to negotiate a favourable price because they were the only reliable buyer for FRC. In a back-of-the-envelope analysis of the transaction, Matt Levine of Bloomberg noted how J.P. Morgan receives good upside and regulatory protection while sharing a large portion of the potential losses if the loans default. Although the estimated $500 million in annual net income for the agreement is small in comparison to the $40 billion or so they already generate, it demonstrates that a bank like JPMorgan can take advantage of the crisis.The bank currently has $1.4 trillion in cash and short-term securities, which is a lot of liquidity. I have no doubt that JPM will be able to fulfil these new standards and keep its fortress balance sheet, even though there may be some capital changes and liquidity in the near future as the banking industry adapts to new rules.Given the current instability in the banking industry, regulatory standards may be modified in various ways. With Basel III's completion, Dimon himself anticipates "material changes" to capital and liquidity. He continued by issuing a warning that the market as a whole as well as end customers would probably be affected by these regulatory changes in the real world.https://www.cnbc.com/2023/07/14/jpmorgan-chase-jpm-earnings-2q-2023.html#:~:text=JPMorgan%20Chase%20reported%20second%2Dquarter,%244%20per%20share%20Refinitiv%20estimate | 2023-07-24 |

135 | 0 | (7/19) Wednesday's Pre-Market Stock Movers & News | null | 0 comments | 2023-07-19 | Good morning traders and investors of the r/stocks sub! Welcome to the new trading day and a fresh start! Here are your pre-market stock movers & news on this Wednesday, July the 19th, 2023-Stock futures rise slightly after Dow posts a seventh straight day of gains: Live updatesU.S. stock futures ticked higher Wednesday night after the Dow Jones Industrial Average notched its longest winning streak since 2021.S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq-100 futures gained 0.1% each. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures climbed 56 points, or 0.16%.Carvana shares dropped nearly 8% in premarket trading. The online auto retailer said Tuesday it will post second-quarter earnings results on Wednesday, moving the date of its report up from Aug. 3.The Dow notched a seventh straight positive session on Tuesday for its longest string of gains since March 2021. The Dow rose 366.58 points, or 1.06%. The S&P 500 gained 0.71%, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.76%. All three major averages notched their highest closes since April 2022.Those gains came as traders pored through quarterly reports from major companies.Thus far, the second-quarter earnings season is off to a strong start. Of the companies in the S&P 500 that have reported results, 82% have exceeded expectations, according to FactSet data. For many investors, the recent streak of gains bolsters the case for a soft-landing scenario. It’s an outlook that has gained traction after last week’s encouraging inflation data.“I think that we have to take a hard-landing scenario off the table, and in part, as we approach 2024 it becomes more difficult for us to believe in a downward trajectory to earnings,” Alger’s Ankur Crawford said on CNBC’s “Closing Bell” on Tuesday.“If you look at, you know, a lot of the tech earnings for example, we’ve troughed and now we’re starting to reaccelerate and grow again. That is a very different scenario than where we entered the year,” Crawford added.Goldman Sachs is set to report before the open Wednesday. Other major companies such as Netflix, Tesla, IBM and United Airlines will post earnings after the close.June housing data will release Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. ET. Housing starts are expected to have dropped by 9.3%, according to economists polled by Dow Jones. That would be down from the huge 21.7% jump in the prior month.Meanwhile, June building permits are anticipated to have declined 0.7%, according to Dow Jones consensus estimates. That would be down from a 5.2% gain the previous month.STOCK FUTURES CURRENTLY:(CLICK HERE FOR STOCK FUTURES CHARTS!)YESTERDAY'S MARKET MAP:(CLICK HERE FOR YESTERDAY'S MARKET MAP!)TODAY'S MARKET MAP:(CLICK HERE FOR TODAY'S MARKET MAP!)YESTERDAY'S S&P SECTORS:(CLICK HERE FOR YESTERDAY'S S&P SECTORS CHART!)TODAY'S S&P SECTORS:(CLICK HERE FOR TODAY'S S&P SECTORS CHART!)TODAY'S ECONOMIC CALENDAR:(CLICK HERE FOR TODAY'S ECONOMIC CALENDAR!)THIS WEEK'S ECONOMIC CALENDAR:(CLICK HERE FOR THIS WEEK'S ECONOMIC CALENDAR!)THIS WEEK'S UPCOMING IPO'S:(CLICK HERE FOR THIS WEEK'S UPCOMING IPO'S!)THIS WEEK'S EARNINGS CALENDAR:(CLICK HERE FOR THIS WEEK'S EARNINGS CALENDAR!)THIS MORNING'S PRE-MARKET EARNINGS CALENDAR:(CLICK HERE FOR THIS MORNING'S EARNINGS CALENDAR!)EARNINGS RELEASES BEFORE THE OPEN TODAY:(CLICK HERE FOR THIS MORNING'S EARNINGS RELEASES!)THIS AFTERNOON'S AFTER-HOURS EARNINGS CALENDAR:(CLICK HERE FOR THIS AFTERNOON'S EARNINGS CALENDAR!)EARNINGS RELEASES AFTER THE CLOSE TODAY:(CLICK HERE FOR THIS AFTERNOON'S EARNINGS RELEASES!)YESTERDAY'S ANALYST UPGRADES/DOWNGRADES:(CLICK HERE FOR FRIDAY'S ANALYST UPGRADES/DOWNGRADES LINK #1!)(CLICK HERE FOR FRIDAY'S ANALYST UPGRADES/DOWNGRADES LINK #2!)YESTERDAY'S INSIDER TRADING FILINGS:(CLICK HERE FOR YESTERDAY'S INSIDER TRADING FILINGS!)TODAY'S DIVIDEND CALENDAR:(CLICK HERE FOR TODAY'S DIVIDEND CALENDAR!)THIS MORNING'S STOCK NEWS MOVERS:(source: cnbc.com)Carvana — Carvana jumped 16% after the online auto retailer reached a deal with noteholders to lower its total debt outstanding by more than $1.2 billion.STOCK SYMBOL: CVNACLICK HERE FOR CHART!(CLICK HERE FOR LIVE STOCK QUOTE!)Interactive Brokers — Shares slid 5% after Interactive Brokers’ earnings missed estimates.

143 | 3 | Dilbert- cockroach and crosshair companies | null | 5 | 2023-07-18 | Back in the mists of time (early 90’s), the old Dilbert website had a financial pages section where Scott Adams set up 4 different stock indices, 2 of them pretty frivolous and based on his comic, but two interesting ones. The RATBX was 10 companies directly in the crosshairs of Microsoft, Intel, Oracle and Cisco…the most notable stock being Apple at a current price of $0.19 which would be worth a kings ransom now ($142m for a $1000 stake if my maths is right). My big takeaway from this was that you don’t need (or should expect) everything in your portfolio to be a superstar, but it’s great to have the odd standout performer… but it’s a bit of a lottery. The DOGBX consisted of 10 cockroach companies who would be the last 10 on earth. Only 8 now exist… My takeaway from this is that this is the equivalent of your low cost, S and P tracker type fund and while you’d not get Apple type returns, you’ll get consistent long term gains ($376,000 over 20 years for a $10k stake I reckoned). My question is, if we picked cockroach or crosshairs companies now, who would they be?

144 | 198 | Treasury Secretary Yellen does not see recession in U.S.
Broad market news | null | 178 | 2023-07-17 | WASHINGTON, July 17 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Monday the United States was making good progress in bringing inflation down and she did not expect the U.S. economy to enter into a recession.
Yellen, speaking to Bloomberg TV from India during a meeting of Group of 20 finance officials, said slower growth in China could spill over to other economies, but the U.S. economy was on "a good path" to reducing inflation while the labor market remained strong.
"For the United States, growth has slowed, but our labor market continues to be quite strong. I don't expect a recession," Yellen said. "The most recent inflation data were quite encouraging."
Data on Monday showed China's economy grew 6.3% in the second quarter on a year-on-year basis, accelerating from 4.5% in the first three months of the year, but well below expectations of 7.3%, as demand weakened at home and abroad.
U.S. data released last month showed gross domestic product increased at a 2% annualized rate in the first quarter, a sharp upward revision from the 1.3% pace reported earlier, but still below the 2.6% growth reported in the fourth quarter.
Yellen downplayed the prospect for U.S. tariff cuts or reductions as part of the Biden administration's push to reestablish relations with Beijing.
She said Chinese officials raised serious concerns, especially about U.S. tariffs, during her visit earlier this month, but the underlying reasons that Washington implemented them in the first place, including unfair trade practices, had not been addressed.
"We have to see what comes out of the four-year review" of tariffs, Yellen said, adding, "But I would emphasize that really the underlying concerns have not yet been addressed. And we need to work on that going forward."
She said U.S. technology restrictions aimed at China were not meant to be "tit for tat," but were focused on national security concerns, and in some cases, human rights abuses.
Yellen said the United States was likely to proceed with a new executive order restricting outbound investment that has also sparked concerns in China, but stressed that these would focus narrowly on three sectors - semiconductors, quantum computing and artificial intelligence.
"They would contain a combination of notification requirements, and in a very narrowly scoped portion of these sectors, prohibitions, but these would not be broad controls that would affect U.S. investment broadly in China," she said.
Asked if the order was finished, Yellen said, "We want to make sure that we get it right, and we've been working on the details."
She said there was a "good chance" it would happen, but said it would come with a notice of proposed rulemaking, giving the public a chance to comment on any proposed controls.
Yellen said she did not know about the hacking of emails of Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and other government officials by a group based in China and did not discuss it with Chinese officials, but said the U.S. government had raised its concerns with Beijing.

150 | 1.0k | WSJ - Europeans Are Becoming Poorer as Europe has tipped into Recession Early This Year. ‘Yes, We’re All Worse Off.’ | null | 522 comments | 2023-07-17 | An aging population that values its free time set the stage for economic stagnation. Then came Covid-19 and Russia’s war in Ukraine.Europeans are facing a new economic reality, one they haven’t experienced in decades. They are becoming poorer.Life on a continent long envied by outsiders for its art de vivre is rapidly losing its shine as Europeans see their purchasing power melt away.The French are eating less foie gras and drinking less red wine. Spaniards are stinting on olive oil. Finns are being urged to use saunas on windy days when energy is less expensive. Across Germany, meat and milk consumption has fallen to the lowest level in three decades and the once-booming market for organic food has tanked. Italy’s economic development minister, Adolfo Urso, convened a crisis meeting in May over prices for pasta, the country’s favorite staple, after they jumped by more than double the national inflation rate.With consumption spending in free fall, Europe tipped into recession at the start of the year, reinforcing a sense of relative economic, political and military decline that kicked in at the start of the century.Europe’s current predicament has been long in the making. An aging population with a preference for free time and job security over earnings ushered in years of lackluster economic and productivity growth. Then came the one-two punch of the Covid-19 pandemic and Russia’s protracted war in Ukraine. By upending global supply chains and sending the prices of energy and food rocketing, the crises aggravated ailments that had been festering for decades.Governments’ responses only compounded the problem. To preserve jobs, they steered their subsidies primarily to employers, leaving consumers without a cash cushion when the price shock came. Americans, by contrast, benefited from inexpensive energy and government aid directed primarily at citizens to keep them spending.In the past, the continent’s formidable export industry might have come to the rescue. But a sluggish recovery in China, a critical market for Europe, is undermining that growth pillar. High energy costs and rampant inflation at a level not seen since the 1970s are dulling manufacturers’ price advantage in international markets and smashing the continent’s once-harmonious labor relations. As global trade cools, Europe’s heavy reliance on exports—which account for about 50% of eurozone GDP versus 10% for the U.S.—is becoming a weakness.Private consumption has declined by about 1% in the 20-nation eurozone since the end of 2019 after adjusting for inflation, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, a Paris-based club of mainly wealthy countries. In the U.S., where households enjoy a strong labor market and rising incomes, it has increased by nearly 9%. The European Union now accounts for about 18% of all global consumption spending, compared with 28% for America. Fifteen years ago, the EU and the U.S. each represented about a quarter of that total.Adjusted for inflation and purchasing power, wages have declined by about 3% since 2019 in Germany, by 3.5% in Italy and Spain and by 6% in Greece. Real wages in the U.S. have increased by about 6% over the same period, according to OECD data.The pain reaches far into the middle classes. In Brussels, one of Europe’s richest cities, teachers and nurses stood in line on a recent evening to collect half-price groceries from the back of a truck. The vendor, Happy Hours Market, collects food close to its expiration date from supermarkets and advertises it through an app. Customers can order in the early afternoon and collect their cut-price groceries in the evening.“Some customers tell me, because of you I can eat meat two or three times per week,” said Pierre van Hede, who was handing out crates of groceries.Karim Bouazza, a 33-year-old nurse who was stocking up on half-price meat and fish for his wife and two children, complained that inflation means “you almost need to work a second job to pay for everything.”Similar services have sprung up across the region, marketing themselves as a way to reduce food waste as well as save money. TooGoodToGo, a company founded in Denmark in 2015 that sells leftover food from retailers and restaurants, has 76 million registered users across Europe, roughly three times the number at the end of 2020. In Germany, Sirplus, a startup created in 2017, offers “rescued” food, including products past their sell-by date, on its online store. So does Motatos, created in Sweden in 2014 and now present in Finland, Germany, Denmark and the U.K.Spending on high-end groceries has collapsed. Germans consumed 52 kilograms of meat per person in 2022, about 8% less than the previous year and the lowest level since calculations began in 1989. While some of that reflects societal concerns about healthy eating and animal welfare, experts say the trend has been accelerated by meat prices which increased by up to 30% in recent months. Germans are also swapping meats such as beef and veal for less-expensive ones such as poultry, according to the Federal Information Center for Agriculture.Thomas Wolff, an organic-food supplier near Frankfurt, said his sales fell by up to 30% last year as inflation surged. Wolff said he had hired 33 people earlier in the pandemic to handle strong demand for pricey ecological foodstuffs, but he has since let them all go.Ronja Ebeling, a 26-year-old consultant and author based in Hamburg, said she saves about one-quarter of her income, partly because she worries about having enough money for retirement. She spends little on clothes or makeup and shares a car with her partner’s father.Weak spending and poor demographic prospects are making Europe less attractive for businesses ranging from consumer-goods giant Procter & Gamble to luxury empire LVMH, which are making an ever-larger share of their sales in North America.“The U.S. consumer is more resilient than in Europe,” Unilever’s chief financial officer, Graeme Pitkethly, said in April.The eurozone economy grew about 6% over the past 15 years, measured in dollars, compared with 82% for the U.S., according to International Monetary Fund data. That has left the average EU country poorer per head than every U.S. state except Idaho and Mississippi, according to a report this month by the European Centre for International Political Economy, a Brussels-based independent think tank. If the current trend continues, by 2035 the gap between economic output per capita in the U.S. and EU will be as large as that between Japan and Ecuador today, the report said.On the Mediterranean island of Mallorca, businesses are lobbying for more flights to the U.S. to increase the number of free-spending American tourists, said Maria Frontera, president of the Mallorca Chamber of Commerce’s tourism commission. Americans spend about €260 ($292) per day on average on hotels compared with less than €180 ($202) for Europeans.“This year we have seen a big change in the behavior of Europeans because of the economic situation we are dealing with,” said Frontera, who recently traveled to Miami to learn how to better cater to American customers. People enjoy the warm temperatures in a beach bar in the seaside resort of S’Arenal on Mallorca.Weak growth and rising interest rates are straining Europe’s generous welfare states, which provide popular healthcare services and pensions. European governments find the old recipes for fixing the problem are either becoming unaffordable or have stopped working. Three-quarters of a trillion euros in subsidies, tax breaks and other forms of relief have gone to consumers and businesses to offset higher energy costs—something economists say is now itself fueling inflation, defeating the subsidies’ purpose.Public-spending cuts after the global financial crisis starved Europe’s state-funded healthcare systems, especially the U.K.’s National Health Service.Vivek Trivedi, a 31-year-old anesthesiologist living in Manchester, England, earns about £51,000 ($67,000) per year for a 48-hour workweek. Inflation, which has been about 10% or higher in the U.K. for nearly a year, is devouring his monthly budget, he says. Trivedi said he shops for groceries in discount retailers and spends less on meals out. Some colleagues turned off their heating entirely over recent months, worried they wouldn’t be able to afford sharply higher costs, he said.Noa Cohen, a 28-year old public-affairs specialist in London, says she could quadruple her salary in the same job by leveraging her U.S. passport to move across the Atlantic. Cohen recently got a 10% pay raise after switching jobs, but the increase was completely swallowed by inflation. She says friends are freezing their eggs because they can’t afford children anytime soon, in the hope that they have enough money in future.“It feels like a perma-freeze in living standards,” she said.Huw Pill, the Bank of England’s chief economist, warned U.K. citizens in April that they need to accept that they are poorer and stop pushing for higher wages. “Yes, we’re all worse off,” he said, saying that seeking to offset rising prices with higher wages would only fuel more inflation.With European governments needing to increase defense spending and given rising borrowing costs, economists expect taxes to increase, adding pressure on consumers. Taxes in Europe are already high relative to those in other wealthy countries, equivalent to around 40-45% of GDP compared with 27% in the U.S. American workers take home almost three-quarters of their paychecks, including income taxes and Social Security taxes, while French and German workers keep just half.The pauperization of Europe has bolstered the ranks of labor unions, which are picking up tens of thousands of members across the continent, reversing a decades long decline.Higher unionization may not translate into fuller pockets for members. That’s because many are pushing workers’ preference for more free time over higher pay, even in a world of spiraling skills shortages.IG Metall, Germany’s biggest trade union, is calling for a four-day work week at current salary levels rather than a pay raise for the country’s metalworkers ahead of collective bargaining negotiations this November. Officials say the shorter week would improve workers’ health and quality of life while at the same time making the industry more attractive to younger workers.Almost half of employees in Germany’s health industry choose to work around 30 hours per week rather than full time, reflecting tough working conditions, said Frank Werneke, chairman of the country’s United Services Trade Union, which has added about 110,000 new members in recent months, the biggest increase in 22 years.Kristian Kallio, a games developer in northern Finland, recently decided to reduce his working week by one-fifth to 30 hours in exchange for a 10% pay cut. He now makes about €2,500 per month. “Who wouldn’t want to work shorter hours?” Kallio said. About one-third of his colleagues took the same deal, although leaders work full-time, said Kallio’s boss, Jaakko Kylmäoja.Kallio now works from 10 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. He uses his extra free time for hobbies, to make good food and take long bike rides. “I don’t see a reality where I would go back to normal working hours,” he said.Igor Chaykovskiy, a 34-year-old IT worker in Paris, joined a trade union earlier this year to press for better pay and conditions. He recently received a 3.5% pay increase, about half the level of inflation. He thinks the union will give workers greater leverage to press managers. Still, it isn’t just about pay. “Maybe they say you don’t have an increase in salary, you have free sports lessons or music lessons,” he said.Mathias Senn, right, a butcher in Germany’s wealthy Black Forest region, couldn’t find local applicants to replace four workers who are preparing to retire, so he hired an apprentice from India, Rajakumar Bheemappa Lamani.At the Stellantis auto factory in Melfi, southern Italy, employees have worked shorter hours for years recently due to the difficulty of procuring raw materials and high energy costs, said Marco Lomio, a trade unionist with the Italian Union of Metalworkers. Hours worked have recently been reduced by around 30% and wages decreased proportionally.“Between high inflation and rising energy costs for workers,” said Lomio, “it is difficult to bear all family expenses.”https://www.wsj.com/articles/europeans-poorer-inflation-economy-255eb629 | 2023-07-24 |
151 | 0 | I was waiting for yesterday to sell my MSFT position but now I don't know | null | 34 comments | 2023-07-19 | Ok, so, I am a big supporter of MSFT as a stock and its possible future. I have high hopes for it as it is becoming/alread is a tech ETF on its own. I bought ATVI at 77 and sold it at 91 so I can use the money to average down some losing positions.And, I was waiting for the buyout to be finalised so I can also sell my MSFT as it had a wild year that I do not believe is sustainable in the long run, but now I am not sure.From The same date last year to today, it made around 100USD and I believe that is not sustainable in the long run.I mean, it will definitely not continue this meteoric rise (especially if you compare with last November lows).I mean the fundamentals look good to me (ok P/E looks a bit high but it's at the same rate as the rest of the tech stocks).On the other hand, I could wait for the earnings call that is coming soon, so MSFT can also say AI a bunch of times to get their stock price even higher like NVDA did.Not sure what to do, I am looking for opinions on the matter (no, I'm not looking for people to tell me buy or sell, I am looking for justified opinions on the company's near term future) | 2023-07-24 |
152 | 166 | Citi analyst: Nvidia's stock could rise another 29% from here | null | 122 comments | 2023-07-17 | Citi's Atif Malik upgraded Nvidia's price target to $520, or $600 in a bull scenario – representing a 12% and 29% increase, respectively, from its current share price of $465 (as of market close today).Even amid risks such as China's ban and increased competition, he believes Nvidia holds a substantial advantage in the AI space due to its over 90% market share in AI acceleration, a market expected to be worth around $150 billion by 2027.https://www.cnbc.com/2023/07/17/dont-expect-nvidias-rally-to-lose-steam-citi-says.htmlOverall, seems like Wall St. can't decide whether Nvidia is overvalued or not. I haven't seen this much contention since Tesla in 2021. | 2023-07-24 |

155 | 0 | Almost back to break even: a cautionary tale | null | 4 comments | 2023-07-18 | This may be the most banal post ever, but by total fluke, I started investing in stocks for the first time around the beginning of the pandemic. Rode many meme stocks to the moon. A few I rode back down to the center of the earth. I’ve been slowly moving all of my many, many, too many positions into a handful of low-cost mutual funds, which is where I started before all of this nonsense. Basically, going semi Boglehead. I’m keeping a few, quality large caps, some growth, some cyclical, and a few beaten down speculative crap stonks that I hope will recover/remind me to never gamble with my retirement money. My total return is showing that I’m up almost 10%, but I figure with all the losses I’ve cut, it’s probably more like breakeven. I plan to stick with a “boomer” portfolio and mentality for the foreseeable future with maybe 5% of my money in individual stocks. That’s it. | 2023-07-24 |
156 | 2 | Can anyone help me understand UPST’s and the broader market’s recent streak? | null | 4 comments | 2023-07-18 | I’d appreciate serious responses here.UPST has gone from $13 to $53 in the past few months.On the macro side, rate hikes are still anticipated. Even if the market is pricing in rate cuts in the near future, I can not make sense of this stock basically 4xing.On the company-specific side, there are a few factors: high short interest, positive AI sentiment, sale of $4B worth of loans. But again, these do not quantify a 4x jump in the market value of the company. Even if you somehow tell me it was oversold at $13, I say it is overbought at $53.This is in line with the broader market movement as well. We went from anticipating rate, hikes, and fears of recession to market mania where companies like NVDA and MSFT and the indices are moving up. Yes, inflation growth is slowing, but we are being overly optimistic; the market is picking up without any substantial change in macroeconomic conditions.Can anyone fill in the blanks? Yea, markets are irrational but we have been on a streak for many weeks now with no underlying fundamental change. What am I missing? | 2023-07-24 |

161 | 108 | China's economic recovery is losing momentum, with GDP growth slowing to 0.8% in the 2nd quarter (its weakest pace in decades) | null | 64 comments | 2023-07-17 | China's economic recovery is losing momentum, with GDP growth slowing to 0.8% in the 2nd quarter, pushing annual economic growth to 6.3%, well below forecasts of 7.3% (its weakest pace in decades).The slowdown in China's economy is a major concern for the global economy. China is the world's 2nd-largest economy, and its growth is closely linked to the growth of other countries.The slowdown in China could have a knock-on effect on other economies, leading to slower global growth. The slowdown is driven by deflation, a high youth unemployment rate, weak consumer spending, and a large drop in property investment.(The slowdown in China's economy is a reminder of the risks associated with investing in emerging markets). | 2023-07-24 |
162 | 133 | So are higher PE’s just the new norm? | null | 151 comments | 2023-07-17 | Many stable growth tech companies had PE’s in the teens pre-covid (ex, Apple). Are we to assume the new PE’s in the 20’s and 30’s are the new norm due to excess money in the economy or is there another fundamental difference driving these up? Earnings growth itself doesn’t seem to enough to justify it.Im not here to debate whether PE should even be a metric to base an investment decision on. Just whether the higher PE’s should be expected to stay. | 2023-07-24 |

I suppose r/stocks attracts a different kind of people tho, so can I trust the advice of the people here?Edit: I was a bit unclear in the nature of the advice I‘m looking for as the comments made me realise. I‘m not interested in concrete recommendations to invest in this or that stock. More so in the macro-level of it all. What factors should I watch out for when deciding to invest?

169 | 149 | India could account for 20% of Apple’s user growth over the next five years | null | 46 comments | 2023-07-17 | India will likely be a major driver of Apple’s five-year revenue and installed base growth, Morgan Stanley analysts said in a note Monday, citing Apple’s investment in manufacturing in India and the country’s “economic boom.”The note also reflected a new India-driven price target increase, from $190 to $220, with a bull-case valuation increased to $270. Morgan Stanley also reiterated Apple as their Top Pick.Morgan Stanley analysts forecast that over the next five years, the country could account for 15% of Apple’s revenue growth — in contrast to 2% in the past five years and $6 billion today — and 20% of the company’s installed base growth.The revenue growth, which Morgan Stanley forecasts at $40 billion over the next 10 years, would be the “equivalent to Apple ramping an entirely new product category.”The analysts cite a number of factors in their assessment, including India’s improved electrification and Apple’s clear efforts to build a manufacturing and retail presence in the country. A survey commissioned by Morgan Stanley suggested Indian consumers have an increased desire and ability to purchase iPhones.Analysts did add a caveat, warning that if India fails to meet its economic and demographic growth marks, “we wouldn’t expect Apple to be as significant of a beneficiary in India.”But Morgan Stanley’s fundamental thesis is bullish. “All-in, this means that India will be just as important to Apple’s growth algorithm over the next 5+ years as China was in the last 5 years, something we believe the market underappreciates today,” the analysts said.https://www.cnbc.com/2023/07/17/india-will-account-for-20percent-of-apples-user-growth-over-the-next-five-years-morgan-stanley-.html | 2023-07-24 |
170 | 1 | Best tax strategy for RSUs? | null | 16 comments | 2023-07-18 | My RSUs recently vested and I was shocked to see about 40% of them were taken out for “taxes”.

I figured I’d only be taxed on the gains.Did I do something wrong? | 2023-07-24 |
171 | 0 | Why not invest heavily in Chinese stocks right now?
Advice Request | null | 33 | 2023-07-18 | The way I have made money in the past is not by investing passively in VOO and SPY but instead by waiting patiently for stocks to fall, and usually the same week people begin to justify selling when they are already down 40% to 90% from ATH is when I begin to buy them up and wait until I gain at least 20%. After I have gained my 20% I turn on trailing stop loss and set it to a conservative 6%. In the case of stocks like Wayfair (2020) this made me a fortune ($12k in under 8 months).
Why should someone not do this right now with the mid, large, mega caps of China like JD which is down significantly? BABA is another example but not as down as far as many others. Would it be a bad idea in your opinion to invest in an ETF like FLCH right now?
Just an FYI I feel like there is not going to be a recession in the USA and that we are instead going to see stagflation and very bad lag for the next 18 months until things go back to "normal" (6% to 8% gains in broader market ETFs like the good ole days). Some of my closest friends say to not touch Chinese stocks, due to the regulations and the way China runs, with a 10 foot pole. Somewhat disagree but will admit I know very little about Chinese stocks compared to those in the West. | 2023-07-24 |
172 | 0 | My company is removing a restriction on my RSUs and now I have to give up stock or pay taxes?
Advice Request | null | 8 | 2023-07-18 | I work for a pre-IPO tech company that gave me RSUs as part of my comp. package. Right now I have 22 shares valued at a a little over $100 per share. I got an email last week that the company is removing a performance requirement (?) and now I have to pay taxes on the RSUs.
The thing is, the company is letting me decide whether I want to just pay the tax implication though stock (something like 5 shares) or I can pay the tax liability of $1000 in cash, or a combination of the two.
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do here. I'm confused because I'm not actually getting any money, yet I have to pay taxes on something?
Let me know if there's additional info I can provide to help you help me; any advice here would be much appreciated!
EDIT: So I think the terminology is that instead of being double-trigger RSUs these are "single-trigger" RSUs. Any idea if this is a sign of positive growth for the company, or is this a desperation measure? | 2023-07-24 |

174 | 33 | ASTS holders - What are your plans now?
Company Discussion | null | 42 | 2023-07-17 | It still hurts to revisit that stock was diluted again on June 28th, at a price 30% lower than the last day's price around $6.5. While their technology is making progress (there is still lots to go), funding continues to be the main concern for them.
Personally, I'm still holding with average cost of $5.4, but to be honest the last dilution kind of screamed desperation in my opinion, considering their previous dilution before this one was on December 2022, at a lesser discount of 15%.
I'd be lying if my thesis still remains the same before purchase, but curious to see what others are thinking. Not trying to trigger a bearish post about the company, I'm generally curious. | 2023-07-24 |

ETFs | null | 7 | 2023-07-18 | I have been market for few years and know quite many things but I don't consider myself expert.
I have some allocation in stocks and some in bonds.
I invest those bond allocation in GOVZ. Here is my thinking:
Interest rates go down - The ETF will make major gains and I can exit it in the future
Interest rate stay the same - ETF will still make slow up moves because of the coupon it receive from underlying
Interest rate increases - Let's say they increase from 3% to 5%. The ETF will go down. It's a scenario where I lose but interest rates are most likely to down in 5 year period. So chance of this are very low.
In worse case (interest rate increase), I have 2 solution
3.A. I can exit it and buy 25-30 year close date treasury directly from my broker. Eventually it will expire after 25-30 years giving me an interest of 3%.
3.B. Just DCA every time interest rate increases.
That's my thinking process. I am not going all into GOVZ. But considering the low possibility of interest rate going up in 5 years, it's a very good buy for now.

176 | 0 | how much of the stock market is in a bubble or not? | null | 59 | 2023-07-18 | theres alot of people out there who say the stocks are not in bubble and will go up big, or they're in a bubble and it will crash, but i just dont think this is accurate, because it would at least be all time high right if it was bubble, and if its not a bubble why is it not at recent lows. I think it make sense if it was somewhere between 0-100%, just like how theres a probability for company to beat or miss earnings or they meet the target, very few chance where they 100% beat on all or 100% miss on all, as some of it was priced in and some was not. so i would say its something like more likely than not we're not in a bubble but its definitely greater than 0% | 2023-07-24 |
177 | 1 | What are some upsides and downsides to trading put options based on the reporting of research groups? | null | 3 comments | 2023-07-18 | I am thinking about experimenting with buying put options based on articles published by activist short sell research groups such as Heidenburg research and Muddy water research. What are the potential downsides to this strategy? And with the generally very good track records of research groups like these what should I be wary of? One thing that I have been thinking a lot about is the expiry date of the contracts I buy based on the reportings. | 2023-07-24 |

179 | 0 | Question about William O'Neil. | null | 4 comments | 2023-07-18 | Was William O'Neil an algorithmic (quant) trader? I have heard that he was a quantitative trader, but I am not really sure about that, while Jim Simons is well known as a quantitative trader.So, I want to know whether he (or his disciples nowadays) use algorithmic method on trading. | 2023-07-24 |
