I did view the past couple of days postings with some interest and as a part time British "trader" would like to add that although it might be perceived that there is large profits to be made, anyone who runs their business will know that any venture nomatter how large or small takes a considerable amount of unseen effort,time and cost ,not to mention the dreaded word TAX In our hobby it is very easy to over look the amount of time invested in the gathering of knowledge.I for one am always in ore of my good friend Hilary "guru" Stone vast banks of info,one can only imagine how long it take to achive his level of understanding. It is not possble to put a value on that kind of resource. I for one have found trading with cycle "world" ,especially the US as been a great experience and I shall hope to meet some "trading Friends" at next years Cirque, there's going to be a lot to talk about and learn!!! All the best Pete
