Would love to see a write up looking into the affect the USās trade war is having on the global stock market
I have no suggestions but wanted to go on record and say that I approved immensely of the copious Starcraft references a couple of weeks ago when discussing Sirius minerals
You are a very good writer. I read you every Sat. Still, I thought I was going to get bored with the Diageo one as I thought, just as everyone else, I knew everything about them. Nervertheless, you still pulled it off and I found the article very enjoyable. You coverage is every time extensive, relevant and refreshing.
Agreed, is always interesting even when I donāt think I am going to be interested
Possibly a weekend piece on dividends including DRIP. Also included would be ex-dividend date, record date, payment date, dividend coverage. What happens to a stock upon the dividend being paid out etc. Possibly include scrips in this as an addendum section.
I think it would be very beneficial for new investors as well as a brush up for a few oldies
The Weekend Read is on its late summer holidays right now.
Itās been great to see so many of you enjoying our long-form stories so far, and thanks for sharing your feedback above. Weāve reviewed all of them, and youāll see some of the ideas implemented in the upcoming Reads.
Weāll use this break and iterate to make the Weekend Read even better in the future. Tell us (even) more about what youād like to read about next.
- Continued deep-dives into companies?
- Corporate actions such as mergers, acquisitions, stock splits and the background?
- The future of investing in the UK, post-Brexit?
- Or the industries of the future?
- A wrap-up of markets news?
- Or, even ā what has Freetrade been up to that week?
Let us know below!
Literally all of the above! Personally I wouldnāt mind having an article on Saturday and another one on Sunday. Perhaps a company deep dive one day and a macro topic the next one?
Do you feel Saturday and Sunday are ideal because thatās when you have the most time to read, or would you read them on any other day as well?
Personally I wouldnāt mind any day, I actually quite often read the articles a few days later.
I guess the weekend has a bit of a romantic note to it, like a good old weekend newspaper read
Spot on Spyros. We are happy with all the above. Great content so far. On Viktorās point I think most would be read daily or the following day. Possibly have it stored on the app? Havenāt used it so that mightnāt be possible (at this time)
I used to enjoy the āthis week at Freetradeā articles - appreciate there are commercial sensitivities especially with others now in the market but is it possible to restart these?
Itās something weāre looking at.
The main bottleneck is resources, which is something weāre working on. We think it was an interesting series from a content standpoint, and the community got a lot of value out of it.
Prefer weekdays as I try to make weekends about family. Understand that everyone will have a different view and in reality I often read them during the work commute anyway.
Industries of the future would be great, vertical farming thatās been mentioned in the forum would be an interesting topic
Also some insight on the streaming wars i.e. Apple, Netflix, Amazon, Britbox, Disney etc
Feel free to outsource it @Viktor Most of the time Iām reading and crunching numbers anyway. The Streaming Battle could be a topic - Bob Iger of Disney has just left the Apple board after the $4.99 family plan announcement by Apple. Itās on.
Market research and analysis of stocks with good value
As long as Toby is writing them itās all good
Marijuana industry and some news as to when the likes of Aurora will be on freetrade
I think something on content/copyright owners would be interestingā¦ and not just on films/tv
