Self-Quarantine with FBS: Safety, Pleasure, Profit
Self-quarantining? Well done – this is the safest option for the moment. The other step is not to go crazy spending time at home. FBS will help you with that! We have some ideas for traders to keep busy – of course, with entertaining and developing the mind ;) Here is the list of what you can be up to right after reading this article.
Watching movies
Yaaas! This is literally the best way to spend time staying indoors. One movie after another, 20 episodes of a TV-series or a soap opera in a row – heaven, huh? The only issues remaining are the hardest dilemma of choosing a movie and the high chances of picking a meaningless one. Here are three films on trading to begin with:
- “Wall Street” (1987) – timeless classics.
- “Too big to fail” (2011) – the title is excellent, so is the movie.
- “The big short” (2015) – so many awards mean something, right?
If you prefer TV series over the feature-length movies, watch “Billions” (2016) – four seasons released so far, and the fifth one is coming. Just something you need now!
Reading books
Well, now you won’t have an excuse for not grabbing a book and reading for a few hours. Here are three books on trading that you will definitely rate high.
- The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money, and Power” by Daniel Yergin (1991) – consider it a must-read.
- “The Black Swan” by Nassim Nicholas Taleb (2007) – the theory that not only traders are desperate to investigate.
- “The New Trading for a Living: Psychology, Discipline, Trading Tools and Systems, Risk Control, Trade Management” by Alexander Elder (2014) – the insights that may affect your life and productivity of trading.
Studying
Oh yeah, this is just the right time to start studying intensively! It becomes a real pleasure when you don’t wake up that early as usual and spend half a day on the road. Now, you can investigate the video lessons and articles on analytics by FBS analysts and familiarize yourself with the new trading strategies and instruments. Kind of a combination of the activities mentioned above, but even more useful for your future success.
