If you can get better than 1% POT you are doing better than the stock market....

If you invest $1000 into shares, and gain 10% over the year, you now have $1100 worth of shares.

If you start with a bank of $1000 and make 1%POT and turnover $1000 a week on the punt, at the end of the year you have $1520.

Anybody making a POT of 5% surely would be happy with that. Lets not aim too high.
