I will be traveling to Texas later today to, among others, attend John Mauldin’s 60th birthday celebrations in Dallas over the weekend. This should be quite a party, especially as a number of acquaintances from the financial fraternity will also be in attendance.

Trust John to seize the opportunity between “knees-up” celebrations also to gather us for a round-table discussion about the lie of the financial land. It should be fun to debate first-hand the topics of the day with some of the investment leading lights.

The downside is that blog posting will be absent for most of the time while I am on the road and “Words from the Wise” will take a break next Sunday (October 4). The normal blogging service will be resumed on my return to Cape Town on October 6.

However, I will be “tweeting” regularly throughout my trip. You will find a Twitter feed in the sidebar of the Investment Postcards site where I post short comments (maximum 140 characters) on topical market issues, and also on my personal whereabouts. You can also “follow me” direct on Twitter by clicking here.
