There was a conversation in the office regarding this specific blog today, which focused on the “tone.” There were comments of the fact that it’s inappropriate for a “corporate” blog to include personal references.

I explained how important it is to really convey a real, non-sanitized sense of what might be going through our minds in Vancouver. The premise of a blog, and the reason why they have exploded in popularity is because of a real sense it conveys, which is what I aim to do here.

But I am no dummy, I understand that there needs to be a logical train of thought as I put this together. I’ve thought about it through the day, and decided that I’ll keep a focused perspective here with occasional outside, sometimes random insight. But this insight I’ll reserve for my closing comments, just as simple points that have interested me, and which might interest you.

I know and perhaps it needs to be impressed on everyone who seemed to have developed some hardened opinions on this (which were conveyed to me today) that this is a work in progress. It will evolve.

Your input is imperative in this, and who knows, maybe something you share will make it in print here.

I’ve got to say after a long day at the office today, it was nice to have Ruth Mayne drive up and visit us, and afterwards she had to catch her ferry, but Zoltan Vass and I went out for dinner.

When will Z ever NOT check live currency rates at dinner? Hopefully never. It keeps him young, and I promise you have not seen someone as passionate and excitable in trading Forex as Zoltan – it is refreshing to be around, that’s for sure.

I recently came across an interesting website called howstuffworks.com. For those of you who don’t know there is a “Trading Post Community” group on Facebook, and if you don’t know what Facebook is learn more about it (OK so the video is not the highest quality production). While you’re there find out how the Euro works or how the Fed works, or how liquid body armor works … it seems to be a website full of endless information.
