CATA meets on the 2nd Tuesday and 4th Thursday of each month. In a typically meeting a guest speaker will present and field questions from members. After the speaker is finished, members review the markets and discuss specific stocks. Depending on the evening and who is in attendance we look at sectors of strength and weakness, which stocks are breaking out to the upside or downside, get feedback on stocks members are interested in.
