I had a chance to get back into the markets to papertrade for an hour or so this morning. I have a lot of dayjob to do here though so I'm closing it down at 12:30pm. A large volume of day job projects have landed on me and the next two weeks are fully booked including the week-ends. So, there is not a great likelihood that i will do much in the markets until after the new year has arrived. I'll try to sneak in if I'm here between appointments but much of my work starting on Friday will take me away for full days... then, of course, there's the Christmas and New Years Day holidays.
Add to that the construction project we are doing over our garage! I've budgeted 6 months to complete it and it will likely take the full amount as I will be doing a large chunk of the work myself, with the exception of the plumbing, insulation, and drywall. So, running a business, home construction, then the regular home duties and an occasional night out will fill my months ahead. The big picture is that once we can get the apartment finished and establish a tenant, it may offer a bit of financial freedom to allow me to pursue my dream of training to be a full-time trader. The final piece of the plan will be to sell my business. My goal is to sell by end of 2010. Not just to pursue trading. I am weary of it after nineteen and a half years and need a different path. I do hope that the path is trading for a living, just as I note in the header to my blog. I'm certainly proceeding with that goal in mind.
