Thanks dave for your excellent post. I have nothing to add to this brilliant advice. I read this post and wanted to highlight exactly the same points only you did it in much better way

Heeding Dave's sage advice, here goes T20 number 2, this time taking note of risk, so I can attempt to calculate RoI (this is supposed to be a business, after all). All comments should be in the screenshots.
