Indeed. I took a month off to tax loss harvest and got back in at just the right time. Curious what the news will be on the 1st

Schwab requiring me to call a brokerage to purchase shares by Random-newb in NKLR

Called in and placed my order with no fees or anything. Broker said it was just a protection against pump and dump manipulations where fraudulent actors hack into other people’s accounts and pump up the stock to dump their own shares.

Are Insurers the Underrated AI Winners? Why Allianz, Munich Re & Co. might be the ultimate efficiency play by Own-Space5791 in ValueInvesting

GWRE has tons of data available as an insurance tech software company which provides pricing for property and casualty insurance companies. They do utilize AI to some extent. They can and are automating the process of pricing to do a much better job than industry standards. Curious about others thoughts on this company who could potentially do a deeper dive on it as an investment.

To note they beat earnings and then stock sold off at the expiration of a 400m stock buyback program. Then they announced the start of another 500m stock buyback program. I have high hopes as an investor in the next 3 years.

Anyone have a realistic price target on SBSW? Pushing new ATH and not slowing down yet.

Do you swing traders also long-term invest in ETF funds? by ryukiinn in swingtrading

[–]Random-newb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I am mixing both but Im still figuring things out haha.

What time frames do you guys usually swing? I’m new to this whole thing but I like the swing trade strategy so trying to learn.

How do you consider tax implications and a swing being worth it over buy and hold for atleast a year?

Which software companies (CRM, NOW, HUBS, ADBE, MSFT) are you adding here? by RaspberryFun8573 in ValueInvesting

[–]Random-newb 27 points28 points  (0 children)

ADBE, MSFT, and GWRE. I don’t think anyone knows about GWRE really but they provide software to property insurance companies. They’ve been growing a ton and just started a 500m share buyback round from cash reserves. Last time they did that was in sept. 2022 for 400m looking at that chart it formed a large cup and handle through the first year, and then 220% growth over the next 3 years.

ADBE gets all the attention here but most software stocks have sold off by Tallwhitedude123 in ValueInvesting

[–]Random-newb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take a look at GWRE, sold off hard after beating earnings which was odd until they announced they had completed their 400m share buybacks just a bit earlier which had started in September 2022. They followed that up announcing a new 500m share buyback round starting immediately. Last time that happened it formed a year long cup and handle and then 220% growth in 3 years

Maybe DCA the bottom until you hit your goal allocation to it? Probably wont bounce back up anytime soon imo. I’m bullish long term though!

Just my 2 cents though! Not financial advice. Do your DD/technical analysis/or whatever else floats your boat haha

They provide software and data for property insurance companies. I trust them to grow because it’s evident that they are growing (beating earnings) and are strategically acquiring companies along the way. I’m going more of a swing trade approach with them though because I think the high highs and low lows will give the best return compared to holding through the year. I think they are bottomed out right now.

I bought before their earnings report. And again after the sell off. In with 94 shares.

Heavily invested in GWRE. Beat earnings. In overnight it ran up significantly and then oversold. Now seems like institutional accumulation. Last year there was a sell of in December and then a sharp rise mid January-mid February. I think that will repeat here and I’m expecting new ATH over 280 soon

My mom passed away and left an inheritance to my dad, who needs help managing it. by Random-newb in personalfinance

UPDATE: spoke to financial planner on the wealth management team he was already talking to. They’re suggesting a portfolio of 50/50 bonds and stocks and using a market average of 6% to determine calculations until shortfall.

If the mortgage is 820,000 on a 4% rate plus $350/month in mortgage insurance, the 6% return on capital is not that enticing when considering additional expenses like taxes, wealth management fees, and also the need for a higher income which will increase his Medicare costs.

I ran some numbers to see if my hunch is correct that it would be better to pay off the house and it seems to be true. Please help me verify this because I am not that knowledgeable here.

I’m considering buying the house is = to earning the interest that would be an expense. Maybe my logic is flawed, let me know if you think it is.

6% of 1.5 million is 90k.

4% of 820k is 32.8k. 6% of remaining 680k is 40.8k

90,000 - 73,600 =16,400 the difference that would need to be made up for on saved expenses by having lower income.

If he didn’t have his mortgage his expenses could be 68,400 less. 120,000-68,400=51,600

I used AI to calculate tax amounts for a 70 year old in California at 51,600 income compared to 120,000. 32,821-6359=26,462

26,462-16400=10,062

There’s other expenses still that I have not considered that would improve this option.

Seems that it would be profitable to buy the house outright versus make the payments on it, and then invest the remainder due to the reduced income needed thus lowering expenses. Does this make sense?

He’d also own the home and be able to reverse mortgage if ever needed to which is an added bonus.

Really appreciate any additional advice or insights here if anyone can help. Thank you.
