Hi Steve, You're right. The minimums for trading are an effective addition to the SAFE values. If we use 10% SAFE and 10% minimums, it would calculate to be essentially the same as a 20% SAFE and zero minimum. It's why minimums are so important to smaller AIM accounts. In really large accounts - especially retirements accounts, minimums can be a very small percent of the total equity value and still be very efficient trades on an expense basis. On my larger AIM accounts I don't mind the minimums dropping to 2% to 4% as long as the commission expense is still tiny. There I let the SAFE determine the majority of my LIFO business plan. Best regards, Tom
