Mark,

Well that answers one of my queries, I couldn't get my head around how you must have been getting such better prices than me, other than you were filtering further from my criteria.

When I mentioned chasing prices, I meant basically take the offered price but if it goes against you too dramatically or you can't get matched, don't comprimise more than a few cents. But yes, it does apply as far as percentages go.

As far as Amberino goes, I got stung for $8.40, the final IAS being $6.50, so in retrospect and considering what we've posted today, it should have been a bet rather than a lay. Take just a few of these each month and it makes a big difference.

As a matter of fact, there have been quite a few of these such cases in May that could have been profited from.

Come In Spanner
Lakeful
Gunna Happen
Danzylum
Banksdale
Char

etc etc just in the last few days.

And of course Ocho Rios today

I'm glad that no matter how you use it, it's been of some benefit

You've already helped me refine some things in return, so thanks to you also!

I have a feeling that the initial theory still stacks up, but is predominantly dependant on the price you get or have to lay at, and depending on what's available, can reverse the strategy purely because of prices and value.
