Hi, I'm interested in OPM for the reason that I'm a trader myself, but unable to raise sufficient money to really "go do it".

I have been trading successfully for a year now, but only small dough and I need the cash for a living...

Anyone thinks he/she can come up with a deal let me know :)

Below is how Buffet got started:

At the age of 25, Warren began a limited stock market trading investment partnership.
Warren was the general partner, and started with US$100.

There were seven limited partners who contributed US$105,000 towards the stock market trading partnership.
The limited partners received 6 percent annually on their investment and 75 percent of the profits above this target amount.
Warren earned the other 25 percent.

Over the course of the next thirteen year period, Warren compounded money at an annual rate of 29.5 percent through stock market trading activities.

Do be careful and understand the securities laws. How you raise money and from who and using what instrument (limited partnership, LLC, promissory note) can bring you under SEC laws. If you unwittingly violate them it can be a catastrophe. Just a word to the wise.
