You know what seems weird to me? That the writers of all these articles about teenagers leaving Facebook are acting so surprised. This one describes a "startling admission" and a "landmark statement" about teenage behavior or lack thereof on Facebook. It shouldn't be that big of a surprise when every previous social media site so far has been replaced. Livejournal fell out of favor and people flocked to Myspace. Then Myspace got annoying to use so they went to Facebook. Now Facebook is creepy and intrusive so people will go elsewhere. Look at Reddit - how many of us used to read Digg and Fark? I know one day I won't go to Reddit anymore, I'll go to some other site.
Another article on Yahoo interviewed teenagers. They're leaving Facebook because it's vapid, full of fake "friends" and overburdened by ads and pointless stuff like Farmville. They also don't want their parents effectively looking over their shoulders whenever they're saying something online to their real-life friends. The parents are just the icing on the cake - the other drawbacks of Facebook should be enough to make anyone leave the site, regardless of age.
Its even more surprising that many people can't afford a $500 emergency, and half of people who earn $100-150k a year, don't even have $500 saved up.
*Edit, for the people who find this statement so hard to believe...

Reminder that Donald Trump thinks Mike Pence is embarrassingly poor.
Mike Pence has a refreshingly low net worth for a federal politician--likely somewhere in the realm of $500k to $1m. But this still places him in the top 1%.
If Trump thinks someone is "embarrassingly poor" just because they don't belong to the 0.01% or however high it is, what does he think of homeless people?
I think it's reasonable to speculate that he probably doesn't give the slightest shit about them.
Trump will let our homeless veterans freeze before he'll let a few crumbs worth of tax dollars fall their way.

> Yeah– now, when I first saw that, I assumed that the top line was for a part-time McDonald’s employee. Then I got out my calculator– that is actually what you would make if you were working full-time at McDonald’s. 1,105 dollars a month.
The author forgot to deduct payroll taxes.
A full time employee would make less than that.
Edit: I've replied elsewhere, but I thought I'd put this up here to avoid excessive repetition.
$1105 at $7.25/hr ~= 38 hrs/week, which is what I was generally paid for full time when I worked summers at minimum wage (40 hours scheduled minus ~half an hour break for lunch each shift whether you took the break or not). Given the variability in shifts week/week, it's also likely that one could average 38 hours, rarely going over 40 hours/week (can't pay overtime!) but sometimes falling below. This is where I made my assumption on the author omitting taxes.
Alternatively, according to this article, if you're paid above minimum wage, specifically $7.72, you would expect to receive $1105 in take-home pay after withholding.
So the author may have omitted taxes while accounting for scheduling, may have assumed a slightly-higher-than-minimum wage (is $7.72 the actual McDonald's minimum?) or may have rounded slightly leading to some confusion.

$65 x 12 months = $780 annually
Comcast pays a $.65 dividend per share per year. http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=cmcsa&ql=1
$780/.65 = 1200 shares needed. Comcast is currently trading at ~$39/share so you're looking at about a $46,800 investment for Comcast to pay your annual internet bill.
edit: this is fun to do with other companies too. AT&T for instance... $85/mo for cell phone ($1,020/yr). AT&T pays $1.80 per year. 1020/1.8 = 566.67 shares x current share price of 34.50 = $19,550 investment for AT&T to pay your entire annual cell phone bill.

Hi 💎👐,
We’ve received your account transfer (ACATS) request and are working to transfer your assets from Robinhood to another brokerage firm. Typically, this takes 5-7 business days to complete. Upon completion, any fractional shares you own will be liquidated to their cash value equivalent, and residual assets, including pending dividends, will be moved to the other brokerage firm within 5–7 business days.
Please note that we’ve canceled any pending orders in your account, and you won't be able to place new trades on Robinhood going forward. If applicable, we’ve also downgraded your account from Cash Management and/or Robinhood Gold.
If you didn’t make this request, please contact us at https://robinhood.com/contact immediately so we can set things straight.
We’re sad to see you go, but hope that you’ve enjoyed being a part of our journey to democratize the financial system. If you can spare a few minutes, we’d love to hear any thoughts about your experience and how we can improve.

I believe I saw that figure from WSJ. I mean profit margins are pretty tight-lipped info, but I would believe that it was about 1-3% if WSJ were reporting. I would wager it's probably stayed around that going forward since they keep investing. Here's the article in question
Trump supporters claiming that it's the tax cuts working, and it's true in THIS case, because non-greedy Costco actually is passing it on to employees while few companies actually are... And that's the thing, Costco is so successful because they have little mark-up, pay their employees well and to make more money they simply open more stores instead of gouging their customers that trust them! It's the perfect, simple business model!
Since 3/4's Costco's total profit is the amount charged in membership fees, you are paying them a whole $60 a year to buy things at only a 10-15% markup over gross cost, and they really push for volume deals so the value is incredible. Also, we get the "executive" (more like "intelligent" plan) and they end up paying US ~$60 a year to shop there, we simply buy as much as they offer for our family of 4 knowing it's a great deal! We end up getting about 80% of our entire household purchases there, maybe 15% Amazon/eBay and 5% other grocery stores. Sure gas doesn't get included in that 2% back, but we save far more than that over the equivalent Arco gas too.
Edit: Added sources and clarified since this blew up a bit...
Edited to add: A thoughtful blog take on the situation that I think Tesla bulls will probably find appealing in some regards/realistic in others (fairly lengthy discussion of Solar City's problems and how that situation may relate to Musk's current desire to take Tesla private): https://lt3000.blogspot.com/2018/08/is-elon-musks-attempted-tesla.html
It's generally a red flag when a CEO is absolutely obsessed with short sellers, as Elon is. You are not wrong: if the company can deliver results, then there shouldn't be anything ultimately to worry about.
Tesla is one of the most shorted (if not the most) shorted stock in the market. They're there for a reason and Elon has been unable to address the issues they have with the company, but also: his actions have fed their case on multiple occasions. I mean, look at what he just did: this "funding secured" tweet where it is now apparent that funding wasn't secured. If this whole tweet was all about creating a short squeeze, the short squeeze lasted a day and if this whole plan wasn't real, shorts are going to redouble their efforts (if they haven't already.)
And really, his attempt to take the company private because of "short seller propaganda" (which is one of the reasons he stated in the letter post "funding secured" tweet) - well, if you can deliver results and show shorts, then why flee the public market?
Elon has also used the short sellers to sell a story to his fanbase. Tesla short Jim Chanos said the other week: 'Musk vs The Shorts' is a far better narrative than 'Tesla vs Mercedes/Audi/Porsche,'" and I don't disagree with that.
As for a heavily shorted company that handled shorts, look the short squeeze that RH created. https://www.fool.com/investing/2018/07/17/whats-behind-rhs-450-run.aspx

Here is the ticker for oil futures, set for delivery in June. Here is the one for July.
For people who aren't familiar with financial instruments, this means that you can enter into a contract today to buy a barrel of crude oil on June 12 for $105, regardless of how much it actually costs on that day. If the actual price is higher, you can instantly sell, making a profit; if the actual price is lower, then you've bought high and sold low, taking a loss.
Basically, this means that traders - people who are actually putting their money where their mouths are - think that the price of crude oil will be around $105 in June (plus a few dollars because of the time value of money). It takes roughly a $30-$35 movement in crude oil prices per barrel to result in a $1 movement in prices at the pump.
So, traders expect oil to come in at between $110 and $115 a barrel in summer. That's about $3.80 a gallon. For $4.50 a gallon, we would need to see somewhere between $135 and $155 a barrel. (The record high was $147 a barrel, and at those prices, the record pump price was $4.25.)
What I'm saying is that this prediction is a crock load of shit. Because if it were at all credible, people would be buying up oil futures like crazy. After all, you can buy June oil for $105 today, and then be able to sell it at ~$145 four months from now.

It sounds simple, but it isn't. First of all, they pay approx. $554 million per year in dividends. If they don't do this, their stock price will plummet, and lots of investors (including fixed-income retirees, pension funds, etc) that rely on that dividend will suffer.
Next, they have to spend capital investments out of that profit. In the last couple of years that was just over $1 billion per year. This is how companies grow... and this is how they grow the GDP and create jobs.
So, in other words, in 2012, the entire $1.6 billion in profits was spent on dividends and capital investments. (source: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/cf?s=YUM+Cash+Flow&annual).
Remember, the CEO is chosen by the board who is chosen by the shareholders to maximize shareholder value. If he stops paying dividends and/or reduces growth in order to pay employees at higher than market wages, he wouldn't be doing his job, and he'd be fired and replaced.
You see, investors don't invest in a company for the fun of it, they invest to make more money, otherwise they'd just spend the money. Or, in my case, I invest for my retirement so I don't have to rely on SS when I get old.
If you walk into a car dealership and he offers you a car for $10k, do you offer to pay $12k instead? Or do you haggle him down to $9k? Does that make you greedy, or just fiscally responsible?
If an employee is willing to work for $7.25 per hour, and Yum insists on paying them $10/hr instead, is that fiscally responsible? They are overpaying.
Now, in general, there is a lot of expense around finding and training employees, so they should be paid more than the minimum, but each company determines this on their own, it isn't up to you to tell them.
Lets do some math:
Now assume their CEO decides to work for free and spread that money among his employees.
$10 million/ 440,000 employees = ~$23 extra per employee per year
Now assume a standard full-time employee works 40 hours a week for 52 weeks a year. That's 2080 hours in a year.
So $23/ 2080 hours = a $0.01 hourly raise
Congratulations you just gave these employees a rounding error. Now don't misinterpret this as me saying they shouldn't give their employees a raise. All I'm saying is that cutting the CEO's compensation would accomplish nothing.

It's actually quite the opposite - 401K deferral rates actually go up as you get wealthier. On it's own, capping the 401K limit would be a progressive shift in the tax code.
That doesn't mean it's a good idea, and I have a sneaking suspicion this money wouldn't go to expand the EITC or anything. But it would actually be a tax increase on wealthy individuals.

> It takes a village to raise a... coach's salary this much

> As even the author of the Deadspin article admits, a large portion of a coach's total compensation comes in the form of bonuses and fees tied to coaches making media appearances, derived from sports apparel contracts, and from fundraising. Still more of the overall athletics budget is paid for by television contracts, etc., etc., and so on and so on.
> And yet, where would all of this money come from -- what endorsement deals would there be, what television fees would be collected -- if there were no taxpayer-funded university for the coach's team to play at?

Furthermore; you can clearly see in the company's quarterly financial statements, per page 18, that the nine month period ended 9/30/2012 resulted in $7.2 billion in operating income on $29.5 billion of revenue for their "cable communications" segment (24.4% margin). For all of comcast combined, it's $8.8 billion of operating income on $46.6 billion of revenue (18.9% margin). Far from the 97% margin stated above.
When all's said and done, after taxes, the company makes $1-2 billion of net income on $15-16 billion of revenue. That's maybe a 9.5% margin.
It helps keep share prices reasonable as companies grow\shrink.

It's a pain in the ass for executives to buy and sell shares, with public disclosures surrounding the sale.

It was used for continuing business operations. Yes, this does include executive pay and bonus' but it also includes employee pay, product transportation, raw goods, etc. While CEO pay may be inflated these individuals would have never joined the company if their pay wasn't guaranteed and Hostess' Board of Directors felt that the best chance of saving the company, and the pensions with it, was hiring the most competent executives they could find.
This article from AlterNet is ridiculously cherry-picked.

The review covers 4.3 million foreclosures that happened between 2009 and 2010. The San Francisco city assessor's office performed an audit of foreclosures and found that more than 80% of the foreclosures have "missing documents or signatures, or otherwise violate the law."
This fraud was systemic, and if everyone who was foreclosed upon submits an application for review, and the review are carried out faithfully, there will be huge repercussions for the largest banks.
Here's 100% the reason why - https://www.fool.com/investing/2018/08/18/can-amazon-help-twitch-become-a-1-billion-business.aspx
Emmett set a $1B ad revenue goal for Twitch which is more than double their current state.
There's absolutely no way in shit they're hitting that goal without a major change.
Getting better at selling ads is hard, especially to Twitch's demographic. It's a tough one.
Combine a ridiculous c-level pipe dream goal with an impossible timeline, and you've got the perfect formula for marginalizing your most loyal customer base.
This is a HUGE slip on Twitch's part. They're effectively acknowledging they'll lose Prime revenue, and thereby diminish the value they offer to the developers paying to have their games on Prime, so that they can sell more ad units. Unequivocally the most annoying, frustrating, friction-filled experience they have to make money.
Step 2 will be partnership managers "training" and encouraging Partners on how they can and should run more ads in their streams, further frustrating their user-base. Mark my words.
These kinds of silly goals always result in horrible decisions staff are forced to make to stand even a remote chance of landing the goal. And they'll still miss.
This is sad.

All of this is accurate. However, because Gilead is a public company, their financials are public. Their financials show a different story than the one they painted. I'm all for a company recouping their sunk costs and making a healthy profit, but they are doing more than that. Their operating margin was 40.38% and their profit margin was 28.55% in 2012. Of their $2.783 billion in revenue for Q3, 2013, their R&D expense was $546 million (19.6%), their sales/admin was $406 million (14.5%), and their CoGS was $682 million (24.5%), leaving an EBIT of $1.08 billion (38.8%) - source. They were making an impressive profit during the last 2 years, while Sovaldi was in development, and will continue making a profit that any company outside the pharmas can only dream of recording, especially in a company that isn't releasing dividends. Their financials are more than stable, so their arguments ring hollow. That said, I have to give them credit for paying income taxes. So, there's that.

He answered this elsewhere a couple days ago:
>For transportation, Gore admits to “sometimes” chartering a private jet but he doesn’t own one, claims to be a “regular" on Southwest Airlines (LUV) and flew to NY last week on American Airlines to promote The Climate Reality Project’s 24-hour webcast, The Cost of Carbon. "Every once in a while I charter but I use public transit and commercial airlines,” he says.
When 92% of the states have enacted laws saying almost the same thing you’d think the federal government might get the fucking hint.
Also the Toyota Camry is the <em>most</em> American of all cars - at least according to cars.com.

Yeah, they're only allowing up to 100 shares at the moment. Why do you ask "what buying restrictions" if you already know about that?
Which means their customers who are most likely to want to buy more shares in bulk (who could already afford >= 100 shares) are unable to buy more at these discounted prices. (Relative to last week)
People who owned one or two shares can now maybe buy one or two more, or fractions, which is still helpful, but only to a certain extent.
It's also a good idea to cross-check your receipt with the amount you're actually charged. That way, you can protect yourself from waitstaff taking liberties with their tips.
In terms of budgeting, though, you might want to check out Mint.
Their stock doesn't seem to have been affected by this in (roughly) the past 2 years.

I wouldn't be focusing on the consumer side of 5G, rather the infrastructure side. That's where the big money is. I don't think consumers are really going to be clamoring over 5G all that much.. at least not enough to drive massive phone sales. It might be big among tech enthusiasts, but 4G is perfectly adequate for 99% of the general population and I don't think a lot of people will be able to justify spending $600+ on a new phone specifically for a speed boost they don't need.
American Tower (AMT), Crown Castle (CCI), and SBA Communications (SBAC) are the biggest 3 tower companies according to Forbes.
I would research those companies and see what they've said publicly about 5G plans.
EDIT: This spawned some more research by me. This article offered some great insight into how tower companies operate https://finance.yahoo.com/news/could-american-tower-even-bigger-130150159.html
Two main things I took away from that article:
This also begs the question.. if a tower company only owns the towers and the land, and tenants are responsible for transmitters.. how much can 5G actually create revenue growth for tower companies since 5G is in the transmitter, not the tower? Unless the nature of 5G just demands more towers, I'm not sure about that. I'd be curious to know who is actually manufacturing the transmitters, because cell companies are going to be buying/leasing millions of new 5G transmitters in relatively short order.
That's $3B box office, minus theatre cut, minus distribution costs, minus marketing costs, minus production cost is profit.
says profit was probably $700M for TFA. So say $500M for R1. So Disney is probably profited about $1.5B all around for SW so far. Still $2.5B to go to recoup purchase cost.

the debate about income tax is a ruse to fool you Americans. Most of the wealthy did NOT get wealthy from earning wages. They got it from capital gains. And by pretending to be mad or outraged about rates on income taxes, Republicans have helped bury any real effort to raise capital gains taxes, which should be raised even if rates on wealthy's income rise slightly or not at all.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/richest-400-people-america-got-201519751.html
"According to the IRS, which recently released 2009 data from the 400 richest individual income tax returns, the real runaway growth in wealth has come from capital gains. In the last years of the bubble, the "Fortunate 400" made nearly half their income from capital gains (a.k.a.: profit from the rising value of an investment, such as stocks or property) and less than 10% of their income from old-fashioned wages.
The average income of a top-400 earner grew by 650% between 1992 and 2007 to a whopping $344 million. Over that time, the average salary didn't even double. But the average capital gains haul increased by 1,200%. So how do the richest get richer? Not from their wages. From their investments."
edit: I might also point out that a large percentage of rich people inherit their money, which is why they have spent so much time weakening the Inheritance Tax. by doing that, and preserving tax loopholes/havens along with low capital gains taxes, the rich are ensuring that they don't even get TOUCHED, all the while screaming for everyone else to "pay their fair share".

just... wow.
I'm in the process of setting this up right now. What I have learned is that if you have any options pending, you will have to set up your Fidelity account first and then request to have options enabled. It will take 24-48hrs for approval.
Then you can intiate a transfer from another account, keep in mind that if you intiate a transfer from robinhood they will put everything on hold until it's moved and charge $75 for the transfer.
To find the info needed from robinhood, this link gave me the info.
What people are recommending is to just start trading on your new account if you can and work on the transfer once all the dust settles with everything else.
Hope this helps, as always ymmv!
>it's extraordinarily expensive.
One thing that gets lost in the discussion is that SpaceX privately funded a lot of the development itself. Meanwhile, ULA sat back on the their fat overhead collecting a billion dollar subsidy for basically doing nothing but producing expensive rockets.
As soon as the Air Force cuts off the EELV gravy train, ULA will start laying people off and complaining about the budget. Instead of using that money to innovate more cost effective rockets, they basically did nothing and complained about SpaceX the entire time.
ULA can rot.
That's cause you own more than 4* shares. The limit isn't just on how many you can buy each transaction, the limit is how many you are allowed to own on the platform. If you have more than the limit, you are not allowed to buy more.
* current number as of writing this.

> If you already hold a greater number of shares or contracts than the limits listed above, your positions will not be sold or closed.
>However, you will not be able to open more positions of each of these securities unless you sell enough of your holdings such that you are below the respective limit.
Besides the day it was 0, it's been as low as 1 which means the only people who were allowed to buy shares, haha I mean a share, were people with 0 and they were only allowed to buy 1 no matter how much money they had.
IIRC, Picasso also recognized that the signature on art is what is valueable, not the art itself. ~~He also would draw little pictures on checks he'd write for different things~~ because the ~~drawing~~/signature was more valuable than the value of the check itself, people would often not cash them. They're called picasso's checks
Edit: Salvador Dhali would draw on checks because the drawing was more valuable than the checks value.
In fact, the GE Finance arm took a loss of 30 Billion, and is, in fact, writing that off over a period of years. This is primary reason GE does not owe taxes this year.
If your grandfather died in 2019 or earlier, you fall under the old set of rules, which allow you to stretch out withdrawals from the inherited Roth IRA over your lifetime. However, you would have needed to elect that method right away. If it’s been a few years and you haven’t taken any withdrawals yet, your remaining options may be limited, or there could be additional tax penalties. Schwab has a pretty good summary of the old rules here. Be sure to scroll down to the heading “Roth: Non-spouse inherits”
