Hi acc
Thanks for the well-wishes & compliments. I too have gained enormously from reading HC posts & getting feedback to my queries & analysis of information I provided.
However, I only started trading/investing in earnest in July 2007 [entered at the top of the market - well done heh?] & I freely admit to ethical hangups about seemingly orchestrated shorting practices by instos., so please don't place authority on my contributions.
Re; ... "This is the first Christmas/New Year I've traded. Someone mentioned that often the low volumes through this period can provide some profitable volatility. Does it tend to be a time when good trades can be made, or should I just go to the beach and come back on 5 Jan?"
In the post below I mentioned the results of some of my research into the Dec 18/19 to Jan 2 period - as you mentioned, usually characterised by lower volumes & subdued SP gains. Post Jan 2 though has often been quite ugly & IMO The Market is not to be trusted atm. Recently I was pre-occupied with minding our grandkids for about 3 weeks & slipped up on exiting several trades for handsome profits which have now translated into problematic, longer term holds.

Re going to the beach until Jan 5, well I've just had several more pre-cancerous lesions frozen & a squasi cell carcinoma [in situ fortunately] removed from my forearm so take care or you may suffer more damage at the beach than in The Market.
