Don't walk, RUN and join Ilana's NYC Business Networking meetup group and Andrew Ran Wong's NY Entrepreneurs Business Network (NYEBN) meetup group at meetup.com for FREE. They have several great events every month that are worth attending at no or low cost. Moxiein the city.net is another that has lots of social events. Please look back to last week's listings and check out meetup.com yourself because this is certainly not comprehensive. There are over 2000 meetup events a week in NYC and lots in other parts of the country as well. At least, it is mind opening to take a look at all the possible connections to be made, business to be transacted and fun to be had. ENJOY!

This New York Investing meetup below has great content on investing in the markets. Daryl Montgomery is VERY knowledgable. The people who attend are not very friendly so it is content-rich, not networking-friendly, in my opinion.
New York Investing Meetup
Thursday, November 12th at PS 41 (time: 6:45-8:45PM).
The overview of the markets will be given during the class. This class will add some new material in Technical Analysis and tie it together with previously taught material. If you missed any of the previous Technical Analysis classes you should certainly come to this one. This class will be the preparation necessary to attend the strategy sessions we plan on holding next year. These will be technical in nature with the goal of finding more good money making trades and avoiding losses. The market is likely to continue to have a number of major pitfalls and opportunities next year.
In the last class on Commodity Investing, I covered the gold breakout extensively and so far everything has gone as predicted. Gold touched it's breakout price of $1025. The breakout held. Gold just went to a new all time high (reaching $1099 on Wednesday). The stock market looks like it is trying to roll over and we will also discuss if the rally has come to an end. I plan on pointing out a new area for potential investing as well.
