January 2026

One Current Market Observation:

2025 was a historic, record-breaking year for the metals complex, with precious metals like silver and gold reaching all-time highs and significantly outperforming traditional assets like stocks and bonds. I still don’t understand the fundamental rationale for the move, but the technicals were clearly trending higher the whole year.

One Nugget of Trading Wisdom:

Charts that trend well and make big moves are often the most likely to continue trending well and make big moves. Note the quantum sector and metals sector from last year.


One Reflective Question:

The end of a year is always a time for change and reflection. But change does not occur unless you take action. What is the one daily action that could have the greatest impact on your trading this year?

One 1%-Improvement Idea:

Performing an annual review is one of the most beneficial activities you can do. I’ve got a series of YouTube videos coming up on how to do an annual review and goal-setting. Stay tuned!

One Reading Recommendation:

As a reflective read, I’ve been enjoying Rule 62: Meditations on Success and Spirituality by Jared Dillian, author of Street Freak. He shares various essays about life.

Forget outcome. Let’s get better this month.
