Hi Steve, RE: COMS,

When you ran your simulations, what SAFE values did you use and also what size minimum trades?

Many times as our "favorite" stock hits its stride, we have to make sure our minimum order size (in shares) doesn't get to be too large a percentage of the total remainder.

For instance, when GENE started its run, I was using 1500 shares as my minimum, then 1000 shares for a while and now just 500.

The minimum dollar amount is easier to keep sized correctly. The reason is that during a long upward price move, AIM caps the total dollars at risk at a figure somewhere above our Portfolio Control value. Keeping the minimum dollar value for an order the same percentage therefore is easier. If we use 5% at the beginning of a rally, it remains so all the way to the end.

Robert Gammon is going to give a talk in Las Vegas about his own experience with AIM. In his case he stretches out his buying with his "Half Way To The Wall" idea. I'll let him explain it in May. It's a way to assure that you always buy at least some shares all the way to the bottom.

Robert's a fellow Texan, I believe. Maybe you two should form up your own "local" group. The Lone Star AIM Group or some such!

Best regards, Tom
