Discussion Topic

Some specific discussion themes have been suggested also these are

1. Organisational Skills of the successful trader - successful traders here document information on shares they are watching (how do you stay organized). Do  they put pen to paper? doodle all the information on charts? rely on memory? or stick sticky notes everywhere?


and


2. "US election implications" .   We could discuss gold and gold stocks if Trump wins, Hillary's effect on equities, traders' mindsets going into these big macroeconomic events etc.  The other thing lost in constant headlines of the US election is that the US fed will most likely raise rates in December (which we all would have guessed anyway) but they didn't need those headlines to scare traders out of equities as the US election, and especially the FBI investigation on Hillary, already did that.
