Just got looped into a proposal for an industry I’ve never worked in and I’m scrambling to sound like I know what I’m talking about. Been sitting here googling acronyms mid-call and hoping no one notices. How do you ramp up on an unfamiliar space fast enough to not look totally lost?

Honestly, I live off client websites and annual reports in situations like that. Just enough to repeat what they care about in their own words. Also: asking one smart clarifying question usually buys me a lot of credibility early on.

Do you any SMEs in that space?

I would talk to those and also extensively research the company, plus look at industry papers to learn more.

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.

Evening! Dog owners who live in condo rentals downtown.. did you tell your landlord you had a dog?

I don’t want to invite potential conflict by updating my landlord, my lawyer partner says the no pets clause is void in toronto anyway - but I worry about a bad landlord reference if they find out i.e come for repairs.
