hey dave---as usual, an interesting post loaded with some interesting thoughts and ideas.

after reading the posts on the amazon thread whre senor cheesehead gleefully fanned the flames of the uneducated and re-reading your post, i was reminded about one of the great advantages of AIM for working stiffs like me. TIME!!!

i could pay big bucks and have a professional do it for me. i could dump it all in mutual funds and become rip van investor for the next ten years. but, where's the fun in that? with a $20mm company to run, a wife and two families to keep track of, golf courses to abuse, countries to visit and food and wine to consume i just don't have the time to be a real active investor stalking the various threads and trying to out-think the talking heads.

so, i can do some research, find some stocks that i feel comfortable with and turn them over to AIM to manage. AIM doesn't charge me anything, doesn't second guess some of my real big "strewies", and allows me to have something to talk about with other investors who are seeking the holy grail. do i miss out on some run ups because AIM has me "selling too soon?" yup! and am i "buying too soon" when the worm turns south instead of waiting till the market or stock levels off? yup! and does that piss me off sometimes? YUP!

but, it's a trade off i accept, and besides where else could i post my drivel and not be laughed and shamed off the board? just some idle thoughts from the west.

busy in buffalo!
