The #bullishMarket is on the 21st of every month! If that falls on a weekday, the event will be in the evening (6-7 PM). And if it falls on a weekend, it’ll be in the morning (9-10 AM). Central time. Been doing it this way for almost a year! I know it’s not a consistent day of the week but hopefully that means someone can make it on a weekend that couldn’t make it on a weekday and vice versa.

PS: Simon James is "TheMeetupBreakdown", which as you say is the UK newsletter for all meetups!

Great ep guys, i learnt a lot. Though i thought I'd zapped at least 3 episodes but I'm not on the leaderboard, could there be a bug? Guess I'll have to keep zapping to find out!
