JANUARY IS NOT AS SLEEPY AS YOU THINK
The best moves are often made early
January gets a bad reputation. People think nothing happens. That everyone is away. That the market is asleep.
But that is not quite true.
January is when the noise drops away. When the tyre kickers are still at the beach and the serious people are back at their desks. When there is space to think, to plan, to move without pressure.
