Corporate strategy - GM / Ford, for the next 4 years of tariffs, recession, consumer affordability issues
My opinion is they might have to close any and all low margin businesses completely if they want to survive the next 4 years - that will imply plant shutdowns and product line closures. Use Mexico / Canadian factories to export outside the North America - if there is demand …
Fund Investment fee. Looking for me information on what is reasonable.
Hello all, I'm looking to change my investments from Fidelity to a local group that a trusted friend of ours uses. They seem to have good luck with them and the advisor wont charge us a direct fee for his services since they have a long standing relationship without friends …
Would you say the market is going to continue to drop? Should I move these funds into a money-market until I figure this situation out?
I inherited $1 million from my grandmother, managed by her long-time broker through American Funds (Capital Group). Half of the money is locked until I’m 45, and I received the other $350,000 immediately. In November, the broker called me while I was driving and invested the $350,000 without my clear …
I’m out of US Equities until Trump removed
I sold most US stocks mid-November after the election bump, the rest mid-February just before the crash. People asked “Don’t you know the market almost always goes up?” This is a bit like saying “Big wars never happen anymore!” in 1913.

Can someone explain what kind of derivative the following product is? I understand stocks, calls, puts and the various combinations of calls/puts. It looks like a simple call, but only small pieces of it (very low price). But it mus be more, or why would the bank create such a …
Monthly deposits or lump sum at the end of the year?
I know the saying is time in market is better than timing the market, but I’m curious how this applies in this case. I’m debating about stopping my monthly deposits into my Roth and instead maxing it out during a lump sum in October when I get my bonus. I …
CHGG: 20% downside / 200%+ upside?
I ran a financial analysis on Chegg (CHGG) and... I am excited! Fight me if you disagree with the thesis below. In a nutshell: \-the **market cap ($80m) is currently largely below the net asset position value ($213m),** while the company is cash flow positive with more than **$400m+ of …
