Hey mooers,
Welcome back to our channel!
This week, we invited an outstanding product manager to share some exciting stories with us. Let's welcome our fourth guest – Arlene!

Host: Hey Arlene, welcome! Thank you for coming. How are you doing today?
PM Arlene: Pretty good. I can't wait to share my story in "Talk to PM" with mooers. I have been looking for a chance to communicate in-depth with our users, so it is my great honor to be here with you.
Host: Can you briefly introduce the feature you've brought us today？
PM Arlene: Sure. The feature I would like to introduce today is "Widget". We've received users' feedback that they want to monitor the market quickly and conveniently, so we started to look for a way to enable users to access their watchlists without opening the app. That's how we came up with the idea of "Widget."
With Widget, users can turn on their phones and view the watchlist quotes instantly. It also enables users to create groups, add index quotes, and choose the skin colors by themselves, making this feature quite personalized！
Host: Is there any exciting story that happened while developing the feature?
PM Arlene: Yeah, there is. Android phone models and system capabilities are diverse. After we launched Widget in Android, we got user feedback at 11 pm that a bug had occurred. It's pretty late, but we can't let the bug be there overnight. So my team and I followed up immediately. We fixed the bug within half an hour. I was stressed out, but it was also exciting.
Host: What do you think of the moomoo PM team?
PM Arlene: As a moomoo product manager, I realized that our culture is to pursue the ultimate product experience, listen to our users, and offer timely data feedback. Our team structure is flat, and the teammates are young and creative. It's pretty joyful to be a moomoo product manager.
Host: What would you be if you weren't in your current career?
PM Arlene: Wow, this is an interesting question. Well, I love my current job very much. I haven't considered changing my career so far, but if this happens, I guess I will probably start my own business and become a CEO. Hahaha. In years of working as a moomoo product manager, I have cultivated good intuition and built a judgment system that quickly captures users' pain points. Maybe it's time... LOL.
Host: Apart from being a PM, what do you like to do in your spare time?
PM Arlene: Emm, I love swimming and playing badminton. I also paint after work. I have been learning painting, especially drawing, for a long time. Appreciating the work of art itself can calm me down and allow me to observe nature quietly. Besides, I travel during the holidays. So far, I've traveled to more than 50 cities.
Host: It sounds like you have a life outside of work. Could you please tell us what animal do you think can best describe you?
PM Arlene: Leopard, I guess. I aim to be highly efficient, have quick responses, be interested in novel things, and be curious about the world. To survive, leopards have to be transcendent. Only by surpassing other animals, chasing the prey at the fastest speed, and holding on to the bite can they catch the prey and obtain food. I think being a product manager is the same. PMs need to develop products that can improve quickly and capture user pain points rapidly to attract and retain users. Transcendence is my magical weapon to win. For this reason, I constantly challenge myself, impose pressure on myself, and pursue the ultimate status, which also coincides with Futu's core values.
Host: Interesting! Can you share your life motto with us?
PM Arlene: My life motto comes from Black Widow. She once said, "Your pain only makes you stronger". I transform my stress into motives that push me forward. I will continue to polish my products and positively overcome difficulties.
Host: Good sharing! Last but not least, why do you think users should choose moomoo as their favorite and vote for you?
PM Arlene: moomoo is a simple shortcut to investing. I want to say that you are all welcome to join our big family to make investment easier and not alone!
Thanks, Arlene, for the wonderful sharing！

WHOOOO WANTS CANDY???
Yes mooers! Halloween is coming again, a day full of sweet smell of candies and spooky ghost legends!! There are many fantasy sayings about Halloween, and people hold different opinions about these. For instance, believe it or not, it's generally said that Halloween is also the most haunted day of the year as the old saying goes. And that's why people are keen to dress up in costumes and swarm into the street in order to drive away ghosts. While these legends seems difficult to be confirmed, there are also some anomalies regarding Halloween in the stock market.

On Wednesday, the Fed said taper may come soon if the economy continues to progress, but didn't announce the specific dates.
This should be the biggest news for the financial market. But wait... what is taper and why is it so important？
What is taper?
Before talking about taper, we should know what QE is —— the opposite of taper.
When the economy is slagging, the central bank tends to lend more money to the market. This aims to increase consumption and investment, which is a good way to take the sluggish market back to normal.
To lend money out, the central bank can lower interest rates or purchase assets such as bonds from the market. These measures are summarized as QE (Quantitative Easing).
Therefore, the opposite of QE —— taper, is taking money back to the central bank, by raising interest rates or decreasing assets purchases.
With rising interest rates, people who are using leverage may choose to sell their stocks because they can't afford the high cost of borrowing. As more people sell, the stock price will fall. As a result, the stock market may react negatively to taper.
How about this time?
On Wednesday, the Fed said the U.S. central bank could begin scaling back asset purchases in November and complete the process by mid-2022. However, after the Fed's announcement, US stocks staged a comeback from their September rout, which is a proof of strong market confidence.
If there is anything else you would like to know, ask me in the comment section below!
