thanks a lot for the reply. yep thats a good idea combining B and C into and index or one or two sectors. i just find reading into commodities, indexes and forex so much more interesting than individual stocks. i feel it's a much broader spectrum your reading about which i find more interesting.
im going to buy a few commodity trading books and do some reading, it's very interesting. as ive mentioned before i have a good friend who is a commodity trader (i am stilll waiting for him to reply about his take on copper amongst other things) so he can help meet as well - hopefully ill be living with him from jan onwards.

as for why May, solely becuase only time offered on my spreadbetting account, i assume that once a longer contract becomes available i'd sell the May one and buy a summer contract or something like that.

ive got to go to bed now - boo - and 2+2 is banned at work, but ill be back on this time tomorrow so sorry that i cant post anything till then.

thanks again.
