January Liquidity – More Snowboarding? Go On Then…

Nearly a week into the new year and, as always, the markets seem to be functioning ‘okay.’ Historically, January is usually a bit of a tricky month in terms of liquidity. As the month goes on, I’d expect it to be much the same this time around. Last year, I took a break to Tenerife in January for that very reason, before some snowboarding in France after the Cheltenham festival.

This year, I didn’t have anything planned, although after speaking to a friend who’s pretty keen to try out some snowboarding, I couldn’t resist the temptation to book another holiday! So at the end of this week, I’m off to Andorra. Snowfall seems pretty high where we’re headed, so it’s going to be a right blast. With the lack of punting going on in the bleak January markets, it’s a win-win situation. Although, once I’m back, I’d best do some work as I just had a few weeks off already. January/February and October/September are often quieter times of the year for a horse racing trader on Betfair, so it’s best to just accept it instead of trying to force big results out of the markets.

Trading-wise, it’s been much of the same, which gets a little boring at times after doing it for a while. So the holidays will keep the drive up to keep on earning and learning. The next major stop being Cheltenham in March.

This week, I’m going to get a few extra videos added to the Video Pack regarding some of the crazy spoof money bouncing around in the markets lately. At the moment, it seems to be happening race in, race out daily, so learning to make the most of it can be quite helpful. Knowing when to avoid getting stung by it is more important for protecting the bank. While I’m away, I’ll check into the mailbox a couple of times, although the non-urgent mail will get a reply once I’m back.
