I am really amazed and disillusioned by this post, as I aspire to make a living on the punt, ...I am making a profit, but my stakes would have to increase by MUCH more than is being talked about here, so I just don't know here to turn really, (YES I have a few relatives, with "accounts' etc BUT this not nearly enough)

As Punt 76 says , does this mean that we ARE REALLY doomed if we do DOOMED if we don't?
