During June we have had two Zoom Investment meetings with eight members attending each meeting. We have been able to use the Screen Share facility of Zoom and show our members CommSec as part of the meeting. This makes the Zoom meeting much more like our previous face to face meetings and seemed to be appreciated by everyone.
In the second session we looked at the use of conditional trading, and discussed the benefits and downside of using it as a tool in share trading. We also mentioned that the end of the financial year was approaching, and that this was a suitable time to assess any capital gains.
We mentioned the volatility index which this year showed a large spike in March and a smaller more recent spike in June. These spikes are as a result of the economic disruption caused by the COVID pandemic. It will be interesting to see if the volatility index settles back to a more normal pattern later this year.
The next Zoom Investment meeting will be on Friday 3rd July 2020 at 2pm. An invitation to the meeting will be sent out the previous day.
