Like most people in the investing field, I have been glued to the media feeds over the past few weeks keeping abreast of the continuing Greece development to ensure there is no fall out from from this to the investments that I care for.

I recently drove past the house and street that I grew up in as a young boy. It has been quiet a while since I was last in the area and it was nice to go back down memory lane. It reminded me that when I was a young I used to catch a bus to primary school and the bus ticket back then was around 35 cents.

Recently I have been getting up around 5:30am in the morning a couple of mornings each week to go to the gym. The winter time with the cold mornings are always the hardest to get motivated – particularly as I walk to my car in a brisk 4 degree morning.
