I am headed to Colombia tomorrow for two weeks to check out some mining and oil projects and to have some fun.

We will be in Bogota, Medellin and Cartagena at various stages of the trip. You can follow me "TommyHump" on Instagram or Twitter for any updates from the road, although they may be infrequent.

My colleague Travis McPherson, 27, married the girl of his dreams last week, and tells me he'll be back to writing regularly at CEO.CA starting tomorrow, so daily readers of the site will have Trav's competent oil/gas and mining analysis to look forward to in my absence.

Trav's been stepping up his game on the site recently. Did you see his Appian Capital - Michael Scherb interview?

The CEO Technician will continue to provide timely and actionable macro and trading advice, and we hope to hear from a few of our favourite contributors while I'm gone, specifically Trung Phan (economist/analyst to watch) and Alim Abdullah (smart Leede broker).

Safe travels to me and hope you have a great week!
