Early midweek blog

A blog on a Tuesday? Why not I say.

A very warm welcome to you all.

I was going to head this with "A midweek blog" and then I remembered it is Tuesday and therefore such a heading would have been technically incorrect. Although I do remember someone saying to me a few years ago in Dublin, on a Wednesday night "The weekend starts here!"

So Tuesday it is. You can make your own mind up with regard to Tuesday's location in the scheme of things.

Another week of turmoil in the markets and as mentioned in this blog on previous occasions, the serious news can be found in the weekly news podcast.

On that point I must admit that things are changing by the minute and I am sure that you will be keeping up-to-date with the goings on from various sources.

I have noticed that many students in recent times are showing a greater understanding of how the markets work and things like rights issues for example that they were struggling with a couple of years ago are now very familiar to them.

Interesting times indeed!

One of the reasons for this early/mid week blog is the fact that I am off on my travels later this week. Tomorrow will see me in Edinburgh, Thursday Leeds and finally London on Friday.

I hope the week goes well for you all.

And finally............. I noticed a shop with a sign in its window saying "Open 24/7."

As a friend of mine said what is so special about the 24th of July!!!
