Catalina Norena Valderrama @VIXGold: "Hello everybody, How are you doing?..."

Colombia

Hello everybody, How are you doing? I hope you are all having a fantastic 2026 so far? 🙂 In my case, it has been an exceptionally busy period, and with this brief post I wanted to provide some insight into my system and the way I work. You may not know this, but January tends to be a high-workload period for me as an investor. Why is that? Because this is the month in which I incorporate the data from the previous year into my statistics system and start running simulations and sensitivity analyses. This is something I’ve developed after my work as a Finance Business Partner, where I built many models and business cases for different projects and contracts. Later on, working on multi-billion-euro projects for offshore wind, I saw first-hand how important modelling was, not only for project owners, but lenders as well. For now, I just wanted to pass by, say hello and let you know that if these days you see little of me it is because I am deeply immersed in data and excel files, analysing, working on and continuously improving my trading system. And with this, back to work! Wishing you all a fantastic weekend. Cata. $SPX500 $NSDQ100 $VXX (iPath Series B S&P 500 VIX Short-Term FuturesTM ETN) $GOLD $TLT (iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF )
