Agreed....if it is a discussion, amongst users, about the range of portfolio 
approaches that we are taking etc and hopefully providing Tomasz with some 
useful feedback.

If you want to implement it yourself then I believe it is possible in AFL i.e. 
I would say that I could implement your version and Hicksies version, in AFL, 
without a mention of Vince, or MPT, except for the fact someone might call me 
on it and I really have a lot on my plate so I am not keen to go off and do a 
speculator.

I think Paul Ho also said he can implement it in AFL?

That is the only point I am disagreeing with you on -- that it can't be done in 
AFL.
