I got the answer, as confirmed the following day in the DT, but can't see why.
Clue "Firm taking time to go into profit from speculator"(10)- Answer "Prospector"
I know a speculator is a prospector, but the other bits of the clue leave me scratching my head !

Brilliant, Jazzgirl, what a complicated anagram - I don't think I've ever seen one like that, and I've been doing the DT cryptic for about a thousand years !!
