Hi Sir FOX, AIM really doesn't care about share price, but does its calculations based upon the value of the equity relative to the risk envelope established by the Portfolio Control.

So, the default SAFE (buy and sell Resistance) values should work fine assuming there's enough total value to make the portfolio a good AIM account.

The only consistent BETA value that I've used is Value Line's. Theirs is based upon a long term calculation where many of the ones on the Net are relatively short term calcs. The problem with VL's is that their normal 1700 stock grouping many times doesn't have listings on the smaller cap. companies. Check a larger library and see if they have VL's 'Extended' version. That one covers about 5000 stocks. Most of the time they have a BETA value in those reports.

Without a BETA value, usually a look at the 52 week price range will convince you of the suitability of the issue as an AIM stock. In many cases, a semi-log chart will many times tell, in a glance, as much as a statistic like BETA.

Remember that we would like solid fundamentals even in the high BETA stocks we find. AIM works best when given plenty of market cycles so we want these companies to be survivors.

Best regards, Tom
