Did you set any New Years goals this year?
If so how are they going?
After the close yesterday I took advantage of the 41 degree weather and went outside to workout. While I was slamming a sledge hammer off of a giant tractor tire a weight loss commercial came on the radio. Their sales pitch was talking about resolutions and if you had bought their stuff you could of lost 16lbs already in 2026. I was feeling good yesterday, couldn’t help but laugh 🙃 🙃 
Magic pills may work for a while, but in the end you have to move your body if you want the best results. The blood has to flow and a little sweat never hurt anyone
Take up walking / lifting / hiking / biking / swimming / stretching for a month, do it 3 times a week or more
Then stop cold turkey and sit a lot, couch / car / chair / doesn’t matter / sitting is sitting… Tell us if you don’t feel a difference


I’ve said a million times that the markets reflect real life>
