Hi Johnathan, Please remember that the PIC List isn't designed to give us the "best" possible AIM candidates. It's really an exercise in picking out-of-favor stocks that have great history.

The AIM part of the equation is to show AIM's strength in managing stocks that were, when selected, out of favor. What isn't really seen here is that by selecting these stocks when out of favor, an enormous amount of "paper loss" from the previous Bubble was avoided. Essentially all of these stocks were near Timeliness # 1 in March of 2000. Essentially all of them gave back tremendous amounts of previous gains on the retrenchment.

This method of selection avoided the Bubble. It brought good quality stocks to the screen when they were very out-of-favor and AIM has managed the account to a profit level well above Buy And Hold and done so in a remarkably short time frame.

So, please remember what the PIC list is for; selecting high quality growth stocks when they are out of favor. Not every one of them will be an AIM dream candidate. In the real world profits can come from growth of the underlying stock and/or from AIM's trade activity with any investment we make. The ratio will depend upon the character of the investment.

Best regards, Tom
