▼ + stars: | 2024-06-09 | by ( Zev Fima | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

The timeline between filing the form and the actual IPO ranges, but it usually happens between several months and a year. If the float represents a very low share of total shares outstanding, it means more potential volatility in the stock. The smaller the IPO, or lower the float, the stronger the likelihood of a big swing post-lockup. If we are seeking to determine intrinsic value, the lockup period shouldn't impact our decision on whether the stock is a buy or not.

☆ Why you should calculate your own P/E and PEG ratios — and the right way to do it
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-02 | by ( Zev Fima | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

— Bill Reed I notice that P/E ratios can be quite inconsistent and vary from site to site. Before we figure out a stock's PEG ratio, we need to calculate its compound annual growth rate or CAGR. Nvidia is trading at 41 times earnings, our equation would be 41/28.21 which equals a PEG ratio of 1.45 times. As a general rule, a PEG ratio of 1 or lower indicates you're getting future growth at a good value. Most importantly, the PEG isn't the end-all-be-all, It's just another way of thinking about valuation.

▼ + stars: | 2024-05-12 | by ( Zev Fima | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +7 min

The PEG ratio, as referenced in the question, takes the price-to-earnings ratio and divides it by a company's projected long-term earnings growth rate. As a general rule, a PEG ratio of 1 or lower indicates you're getting future growth at a good value. That's what the PEG ratio attempts to capture. Keep in mind that we also collect a dividend to compensate us for any lack of earnings growth. These factors outweigh the PEG ratio in our view and are our primary focus right now when it comes to valuing Abbott.

That's a lot of eggs in a few stocks, but you can't handle tracking more than 5 stocks. First, our recommendation is the first $10,000 be invested into a low-cost S & P 500 index fund. Keep in mind: A $1 million portfolio with only $10,000 in an S & P 500 index fund translates to a mere 1% weighting for that fund. That means, in theory, you could boost your S & P 500 index fund allocation to 40%. One final thought: Don't forget to factor cash into your portfolio weighting, which should be based on your near-to-medium-term outlook for the market.

We will only consider more general questions about the investment process or stocks in the portfolio or related industries. Also: What stop-loss percentage do you use for portfolio stocks? A stop-loss order is an order one can place to sell shares if they fall below a predetermined level. As a result, if bad news breaks and stock is set to open materially lower, your stop-loss order could be triggered. We don't find much use in stop-loss orders because we're monitoring our portfolio stocks constantly.

This week's question: Can you go into "buy to open," "buy to close," sell to open," and "sell to close" for options trades? If I believe the price of Apple will go up, I would buy to open a call option. This means I pay for the right, but not the obligation, to call on Apple shares — from the call option seller — should they appreciate. If I sell to close a put option, I'm booking a profit on Apple shares after they've declined. I will sell to close the contract I bought to open and buy to close the contract I sold to open (both trades are "to close").

Apple and Nvidia are "own, don't trade" stocks, so should they be kept as they are, or shrink down? First, let's address our idea of "own, don't trade" stocks. To main a diversified portfolio, we don't want any of our positions, even Apple, to get much bigger than 5-6%. That doesn't mean we don't love the name or no longer view it as an "own, don't trade," it simply means that while it is an "own, don't trade" we also still abide by the view that discipline trumps conviction (diversification and not don't be greedy being the two disciplines of focus in this case) and that overrides the own, don't trade mantra. When we say "don't trade" these two names, we stay invested in both and don't try to catch the next 10% move up or down.

– Thank you, Cathryn, San Francisco We certainly understand and agree it's becoming increasingly difficult to maintain a diversified portfolio that's not dominated by technology stocks. There are also what many investors would think of as tech companies in S & P 500 Communication Services , at an 8.6% weighting. After all, we would say Meta, Alphabet and Amazon are as much tech companies as Apple or Microsoft, with all three considered leaders in artificial intelligence. These are industrial technology companies, not the industrial companies of old. So, using some of the examples provided in the question: Yes, Microsoft and Apple are both considered Information Technology companies.

According to money market tracker Crane Data , the average yield of the 100 largest money market funds is 5.19%. Money market funds vs. money market accounts Not to be confused with money market accounts (and other types of deposit accounts), money market funds are low-risk investments — and as such, they are not backed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Forbes put together a list of top money market funds from some of the biggest brokerages in the nation. To be sure, as CNBC Select points out, there are high-yield savings and money market accounts out there with yields approaching those from money market funds. But we want to emphasize that these were rare events and money market funds are considered very low-risk investments.

But what if I then told you that John also only has $50,000 cash in the bank whereas Jane has $2 million cash in the bank? Debt to equity The ratio compares the level of a company's debt on its sheet to the amount of equity. For example, if a company has assets worth $3 million and liabilities worth $1 million, shareholder equity equals $2 million ($3 million – $1 million) and debt to equity equals 0.5x ($1 million / $2 million). Debt service coverage ratio Since we just mentioned the importance of being able to service debt, let's consider a ratio that provides insight into that, the debt service coverage ratio. To do this, we use a metric such as operating income and compare it to the company's debt service requirement, meaning all principal and interest payments due in the next year.

This week's question: The cardinal rule of discipline is to not violate cost basis and show patience to buy more high-quality stocks on pullback. How do you evaluate a flying stock which might not come back to levels of cost basis to add more? Since we are not anticipating the stock breaking below our cost basis — it is rallying — we need another way to determine when to buy more shares. If you can't buy below you price basis, you should buy at or below your valuation basis. And then set up points to buy when the valuation goes lower, just as you would when the stock price falls.
