If you are, you could do VERY well with not a lot of upfront risk. <br /><br />Just something to think about.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11652253509768573561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616959642391988608.post-31697893668407359692010-05-06T10:20:10.700-07:002010-05-06T10:20:10.700-07:00John,
