Hey y’all,
Somehow, it’s already December 20th.
I don’t know how it happened. None of us know how it happened. But here we are.
Tomorrow, I’m gearing up for yet another cross-country road trip to see my family. This time with about a thousand Christmas presents in tow.
Before I know it, I’ll be back in Florida and it’ll be the new year.
And while I hope none of you have 13-hour road trips in your future, I’m willing to bet your stories will be similar, too. The next few weeks will fly by even faster than the last 50.5 weeks have!
So at this time of year, it’s important to give yourself a lot of grace, and not be too hard on yourself when it comes to trading.
Here are a few pieces of advice I have:
1) Allow yourself not to trade…
If you’re a trading junkie, or if you’re on a hot streak, or even if you’re just looking after a retirement account, sometimes it can feel like it’s a crime not to trade.
But that’s never the case.
Better to be on the sidelines than to get caught in a trade you can’t monitor because you’re busy with family obligations.
So if your schedule is full, don’t trade this week.
We saw on Wednesday how quickly a day can unexpectedly turn into a nightmare — don’t let that happen to you if you don’t have the free time to be actively monitoring the markets and your accounts.
2) Trade longer-term setups, OR trade setups that close automatically
If you do have a busy schedule but you still insist on trading, there are some options for that, too.
You can trade longer-term setups, i.e., buy stocks or make long-term options plays that expire well after the New Year, so you have plenty of time to come back and monitor them.
Perhaps my favorite way though is to trade with setups that can close automatically for you.
If you’re reading this, you probably know about my success with Nate’s Automated Options strategy. But that’s not the only one.
In fact, our experts have been introducing a lot of strategies with this feature. If you’re already trading one, you know what a game-changer it can be for your accounts.
If not, maybe it’s time to check one out!

3) Don’t forget to rest
Whether you trade or don’t trade, give yourself time to rest this holiday season.
For most folks, chaos and stress will be prevalent over the next few weeks. Make sure that rest is prevalent, too.
Of course, I know this time of year is hard for many folks, people who are without family or have had hard years… if that’s you, I’ll be thinking about you this year!
And as corny as it might be to say it, we are glad to have you as part of the ProsperityPub family!
Happy holidays, everyone!
I will probably be off and on over the next week or so as far as newsletters go, but I’ll try to get out updates when I can.
In the meantime, just enjoy yourself. Watch some college football. Eat too much food. You can hit the gym in the new year!
To your prosperity,
Stephen Ground
