Dear All,

I feel we need something like this to keep all the forum members up-to-date with the events in near future which are expected to influence the market. These could be local/global, anything from elections, financial results, holidays, etc.... and these are important because biggies are all eyes on these.

To start with "Next week is expected to mark the beginning of the US economy’s entry into a recession and the end of the Federal Reserve’s conventional monetary policy to remedy the situation."
