What earnings reports are you guys looking for this week?

MA. It didn't really rally along with V last week and I figure it should have an even better report given it's more domestic focused.

I also got a couple of speculative bets on amgn, nvda etc.

ADBE is super overvalued. I just hopped on the downtrend at $80.05.

E: I'm watching earnings on WDR, LNC, and GILD.

E2: Oh, and PPC.

Sorry for the dumb question

Say a high volume (eg yhoo sbux level) stock is trading at $230 and I place a limit sell order at $200. What happens? Is it equivalent to a market order since Price>limit or does it just sell for $200? Or something else?

Limit will be at or better your limit. So in essence, yeah you are gonna get market, but it won't be $200.

You mean it won't be $230? or it won't be $200? Your use of "but" in that sentence is confusing me.
Is there an explanation of what is actually happening that isn't incredibly complicated? Like, for example, will it just sell it to the person with the highest active limit buy?

My real question is, say I know 100% that my sell limit price is not gonna be reached by the market. Like I place a $1 limit order for GOOG. Is there any difference between that and a market order?

Sorry I was being confusing. You will get the best price available if your limit is well below market. You will not be stuck with the limit price.

IMO we need to get a good rally going here soon or we are in for a good correction into maybe Sept. We already closed under the 2009 trend line last month which kind of sucked.

Both the value index and managed value funds have historically underperformed.


No idea what this is (especially what the two screens are for "growth" and "value"), but the book Deep Value by Tobias Carlisle goes through a bunch of value strategies and basically all of them outperform the market (some much more than others, the best being EV/EBITDA).

I think the myth of efficient markets and the continued appeal of growth/story stocks is a great reason why these strategies continue to work decades and decades later.

Warren Buffett (whose long-run success should blow up the idea of an efficient market) said a couple years ago that if he were starting with a million dollars today, he could get 50% returns per year. And if you blindly buy what Carl Ichan buys (again, a person like him shouldn't exist if markets were efficient) after he files his 13-Ds, you'll outperform the market over the long run.

The value index is pretty straight forward. It uses basic valuation metrics to identify "undervalued" stocks.

The second largest holding is GE, which is trading at 10x tangible book value and has a 15 EV/EBITDA. GE obviously has a lot of things going for it, but that is not even in the same universe as a value stock lol.

I'm calculating EBITDA/EV on a bunch of Canadian companies while I work my way through Deep Value and I have a couple of questions to direct at Arkane.

First, do you tend to use quarterly or annual reports? Second, how far back do you go? Right now I'm just taking the latest quarterly reports and looking for companies with low multiples in a given sector as a bit of a practice run but I'm interested in how much data you tend to accumulate before you can determine whether a company is undervalued.

Value strategies work great in back testing, but they're hard to put into practice. Since 2007 managed value funds have had the worst performing record out of all managed funds.

You can find exceptional people using nearly every strategy under the sun, most people will never replicate their level of success. I find it far more useful to look at the average rather than the exceptions. Even Warren Buffet is more of an activist investor these days, you can't get the sort of deals he can(like the bofa deal) without the prestige attached to his name and the enormous amount of capital he wields.

Those passive value funds have greatly outperformed managed value funds over the last decade.



I'm not saying you can't do well with value strategies, I just don't think most people are the sort of exceptional investors who can make those strategies work. Especially not the way many people here who are using value metrics to swing trade rather than invest.

I've been using Stock Rover, which is a free screener and has a ton of search abilities. If I've found something that interests me, then I start reading the quarterly/annual reports and listening to the conference calls. I think one thing that is important is figuring out exactly why people are soured on the company, and how likely it is that they are right/wrong. As you get deeper into the book, I think he talks about how human judgment is a great way to ruin purely numerical, proven screens, so who knows if I'm adding value!

The one fund you cited does not seem like anything like a value fund, though? Calling something a value fund is not the same as value investing. Not sure why you're conflating them!

I'm struggling a little to come up with exceptional investors who aren't value investors. Peter Thiel maybe? That's debatable. Anybody besides that? The list of wealthy value investors is a mile long.

An activist investor is a value investor who tries to unlock said value.

I think Buffett may be forgetting how little pull you have on a company with only a million dollars. He's sick of having so much money he can't get it all in the best deals. But he's forgetting he didn't have access to those sweet deals and leverage on companies until he had a shitload of money.

Really hoping the trend on ADBE doesn't reverse because of this China market hubub. Short sold GE (thanks Arkane) at $26.12. I'm not expecting to milk it too long, but that last ditch bull rush in the middle of the down trend is telling me there's a chance.

E: Watch out for PGR. I'm short selling as soon as those lines cross on the 3mo.

You weren't yelling at me. And you still made several good points.

I still kept it because MU is a 23 billion company with revenue of 13 billion(based on conservative projection) with 4 billion in cash and only 6 billion in debt. Also with 30% profit margins. It was a value play that I didn't expect any short term payoff but I sure as hell hope for.

That said, I'm still massively in the red for my MU(>30% down) :(
