Market pumpers are in overdrive

It is certainly interesting to see people fly out of the woodwork to assure everyone with all the detailed explanations of why the market went down a few measly percent, to just keep buying and it will be all time high again next week.

It’s just that those that already bought higher are now upset. Forest fires have cleared overcrowded fo

Once online - and then never online

I would like to see the historical ETF files to at least see the top 10 holdings for each quarter. Actually, once data is online, it should continue to be found online in archives somewhere.

Hello, I need your advice. In 2025 I financed a Ford Focus MK4 1.5 EcoBlue automatic (EZ 12/2020, 136,000 km) from a dealer for 12,000 euros plus interest.

Direct debit chargeback

As is well known, you can simply reverse a SPEA direct debit for up to 8 weeks without giving any reason. But what happens when the account that was debited doesn't have enough funds? So the money is now elsewhere. Does one of the banks involved have to step in first? Are there any mechanisms that initially block the money in the event of a chargeback? Are there any bank employees here who have experience with this? submitted by /u/Educational_Bee_62

Counterparty risk assumptions

I'm a big believer in value investing and Warren Buffett's ideas of buying companies for less than what they're worth. But here's the part that I could never wrap my head around... Let's say a company's "intrinsic value" is $200 per share, but the stock price is $100/share. Ok, so that's a good buy then, you're buying "a dollar for fifty cents", as Buffett puts it. But, in order to make money, the PRICE needs to go up, because you need to sell it. You only own a tiny fraction of the company, so

So the market s* a brick Friday and it is pretty much cricket sounds on the news?

-4% intraday, closing at -2.6%. Just about every time I have seen that before the news turns into an episode of Bikini bottom freaking out over one crisis or another. I don't freakout, but I still find it odd that it barely registered on the main stream media. submitted by /u/Unlucky-Clock5230 [link] [comments]

Is it reasonable/normal to verify a call from a money transfer service before discussing account information by asking to either switch to email or by me going and calling the official number to verify the request?

For example, would it be normal to either: Ask if the matter can be handled by email instead, or End the call and contact the company myself using the official customer service number to verify that the request is genuine. Would customer service representatives generally see this as a normal security precaution, or would it be viewed as unusual or problematic? submitted by /u/JohanKasper [link] [comments]
