Hi A, You hit the nail on the head. Some folks are "born to trade" while others seem to feel more comfortable with very long term commitments in investing. It's a personality thing. AIM is a contrary program. I created a somewhat cynical motto for our group Buy from the Scared, Sell to the Greedy! which sort of tells the story! :-) I find that Value Line is a big help in selecting stocks for AIM. I buy stocks of companies with what I deem to be very good long term (years) potential. I really don't do any short term trading any more. Too much money gets left on the table with ST Trading, IMO. The AIM method creates a minimum "round trip" gain of 20% and usually more. Then it's a matter of how frequently these blips and dips occur. I regularly turn in excess of 30% LIFO gains when one of my stocks gets hit and then recovers. Compounding these over time while we wait for the company's potential to be realized makes for a happy portfolio. Mr. Lichello's book is available at Amazon. Best regards, Tom
