There are so so so many things to know about the market. The wiki here has a beginner slice of things and even some medium topics. What are more things that you find useful, or just that you think people should know?
I'm talking about market structure (bonds and their effect, forex close rate payout), market participants (market makers, hedge funds, big banks, exchanges, brokers, wealthy actors and special products), exotic products (whether or not available to retail), useful indexes, ETFs wrapping useful indexes (e.g. sectors), useful surveys (UM sentiment), periodic events (FOMC, jobs report, etc), interesting concepts (dividends vs special dividends, stock splits, futures front month vs back month contracts and rolling).
ETC ETC.
You can just name drop topics if you like. The point is that for all of us there are a lot of unknowns. One can't research things unless they know of the existence of these things. And what are ways you continue to discover new things?
Personally, I'm very interested in useful indexes that exist. I know that S&P has a ton, but I'm sure there are so many others.
