Pretty quiet here at SK Trading. Just been dropping in when I can.

I've spent the past week in Geelong doing a uni intensive on Leadership and Management in High Performance Sport, part of a Masters in Sports Science. I'm doing it for fun and enjoying it. We got to spend a day at the Cats facilities with the High Performance Team and they came out to dinner with us which was pretty cool.

If I was 33 years younger and at the crossroads again - Sport or Army - I'd probably still choose Army, even though it changed me in many ways, for good and bad.

1992 was one of those sliding doors moments for me. I was an Exercise Physiologist in a great health centre in Brisbane and had also applied to Duntroon just to see what might happen. I miraculously got in to RMC and thought, bloody hell, do I move from 24 degrees beautiful winter Brisbane working at a great health centre surrounded by palm trees, or go to Canberra in -6 degree mornings being yelled at by a drill sergeant and sleeping in a pit.

I chose the pit, filled with water that turned to ice around 4am.

If I had chosen sport, I severely doubt I would be sitting in my very nice apartment in Fitzroy, watching the sun set over Melbourne, and not needing to work at age 55.

And, I can't forget the friends I made in the Army who are like brothers to me and always will be.

Sorry, this is a trading blog.

I can't believe I didn't triple down on gold two years ago when I had some conviction.

Has it been the best trade of the past 2 years?

Good sun set tonight.
