Happy New Year

Hey 5-Star Trader,

Just like that, 2021 is a wrap! I don’t know about you, but this time of year always has me sitting back and reflecting on all the things I’ve done. To put it simply, 2021 has been both a fulfilling and challenging year.

This is the second year that has been affected by Covid-19. While the whole world is still adjusting to this pandemic’s ramifications, there is certainly a lot to still be thankful for.

Though the markets are still open through the new year, I will be trying to soak in as much family time as possible to come back refreshed and ready for what 2022 will bring! I hope wherever you are, you can do the same.

Remember, the market will always be here when you return!

Happy New Year,
-Danielle =)
