Hi Noddy,
The catch up was a big success. Everyone hung around for 2.5hrs and there were ~12 of us and a lot of new faces. Unfortunately we/I chose a venue that was a bit noisy so we've organised something quieter for next time.
Because it was such a large group and a bit noisy it's hard to tell what everyone discussed but from memory:
ADH
APX
DDC
DDT
HLA
Gold
Lithium
Macro
NVX
TLG
MNS
Z1P
IRI
3DP
PLY
VUL
Healthcare and Allied Health business models
Bitcoin/digital currencies
Property
Podcasts - Aussie firebug was suggested to me and I've enjoyed the few episodes I've listened to so far
Margin loans and the GFC - apparently everyone had margin loans back then?
Lines of credit on home loans to take advantage of the next crash & pros/cons
When to sell
Portfolio sizing
How to manage risk in your portfolio (Annyck)
How risk management evolves when you're starting out vs 5,10+ years into investing
Advice for one of the attendees who wants to get into investing but hasn't bought a share yet
Cannabis
Macro
Economics
Investing styles (there was a wide variety)
When to "take profits" or if you even should (Annyck)
Mining companies and commodity cycles
Twitter
Strawman
Valuation
Babcock & Brown
Retail
Plus lots more
Someone mentioned wanting a bit of education as well. I had a book review for The Intelligent Investor organised but it was a bit noisy so I'll leave it for next time.
Happy to expand further on any of these to the best I can. For anyone in the Brisbane area, we'll be planning on hosting these every 3 months.
