Hi midnight, Almost right.

After clocking up 50 years of working life I have decided to slow things down a little
and switched to a part-time role in preparation for a hard-earned retirement...

I will do what I can to keep the Traders Thread going.

Thanks for your ongoing support.

Best regards,

G.

Happy semi-retirement Greystone

Thanks :)
