At the risk of exposing myself as truly stupid, how would you set up a company for trading - LLC, LP?? Benefits to this?

Well you probably only want to do this if you're going to be investing money for others. If you're just investing your own capital then you might as well stick with an individual account, unless of course you're going for some type of special tax treatment (which I'm not very savvy about).

But if you are looking to have others put up the capital, while you manage it, then you'll want to set up an LLP (Limited Liability Partnership). You can find info all over the web on how to do this and you can even have the papers put together online and file for incorporation yourself at sites like:

What legal procedure would I have to comply with if I decide to publish my own book, in which , one can learn to speak Spanish from cover to cover without ever having any knowledge of Spanish. It is a unique method of teaching/learning Spanish?

Would this method be qualified as an candidate for an Intellectual Patent? I know that it would be a candidate for a Copyright. I don't want anyone refomatting my method and then applying for a Copyright.

What is the procedure and/or format of an Intellectual Patent, and tell me as to how I may obtain this information.
