I am really happy to finally be able to wish you a Happy New Year 2026. I know, I’m arriving quite late, but the month of January was particularly complicated for me. The main thing is that we are back together now to kick off this year, which promises to be intense.
Why the radio silence?
Frankly, I wasn’t in any condition to speak. All throughout January, I couldn’t string a sentence together without going into coughing fits for several minutes. It was hell. I went through five or six horrible weeks, totally exhausted by a double respiratory virus.
To top it all off, the month before, I had a bad case of Covid with the works: loss of taste, smell, and crushing fatigue. In short, I was knocked out. Today, I manage to speak without choking, and I realize just how fundamental health is. The older I get and the more medical issues I encounter, the more I realize it’s the foundation of everything. 🤒
My wishes: Dare to evolve
Of course, I wish you health, money, and happiness. That’s the classic stuff. But above all, I would like to wish for you to evolve.
The idea is to attempt that thing close to your heart that you’ve wanted to do for a long time but haven’t dared to launch. Often, we stay stuck due to fear, conformity, or, let’s admit it, sometimes out of a little laziness. Trying something new, trying to progress positively, is in my view one of the most beautiful reasons for living.
An electric stock market year
We’ll meet again tomorrow morning to resume Good Morning Trading. I missed it! By the way, get ready, because we are going to experience an absolutely extraordinary economic and stock market year.
It starts very strong with the news surrounding Donald Trump: between his desires to annex Greenland, tensions with Canada, or military maneuvers off the coast of Iran… all that in one week! The year promises to be perhaps worrying, but certainly exciting. And that’s not so bad. 📉
Conclusion
Take care of yourselves, be well, and see you tomorrow to tackle this year together. Ciao!
