Does anyone know of any studies where that measured how well analysts consensus price target predictions hold up? Is there any value in that number when evaluating a stock pick? I guess I'm skeptical since it would be pathetically easy to run a stock screen and buy the "10 most likely to succeed" stocks on the list and make millions. submitted by /u/ddttox [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I'm trying to wrap my head around this, but in my mind I'd be looking at similar results. Right now I have a decent amount in a stock brokerage account invested, let's say in VOO. If I sell, I take 15% loss on the gains. Then invest into my roth IRA to max it which is post tax. If I leave it in, I get taxed at 15% at retirement. It's the same... right? Or am is there something I'm missing that I should take advantage of? submitted by /u/MachoCamachoZ [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hey all, am I wrong in thinking the stock market is going to do extremely well if the fed starts lowering rates at the end of the year? Am I wrong- aka if fed starts lowering rates at end of 2024 and continues to a more manageable rate (say 2-3%), am I nuts if I think market would just crush and do very well due to fact businesses will have more access to cheaper money and investment will go up a lot?

With all these tornadoes popping up I am wondering if they affect company’s values. My assumption would be if a tornado wipes out a warehouse or HQ then the effected company would have down time and they wouldn’t be able to produce products to hit quarterly goals. Thus dropping the value of the company. Is this assumption correct or are there more factors that come into play such as insurance? submitted by /u/CrankyCraig101 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
