Hi Steve, Thanks for posting your results. Looks like in 1999 your higher risk "Buy & Hold" accounts paid out nicely while the more conservative Pure AIM did well but not quite up to the other account's performance.

I guess that's why you wanted the AIM 2000 meeting in Las Vegas!!

Seriously, most of the mail I get from people who ask why I use AIM point out this very thing. AIM doesn't do its best work in a Bullish year, but in a cycling one. At least it's not turning in embarrassing performance! When I look at my own graphs overall, I know that the stacked bar graph makes me feel much better than the one where I compare my performance to the NASDAQ Composite.

However, I kicked the DOW's butt this year and I believe I beat the S&P 500 as well. Does anyone have the 1999 return for the S&P? That's a bit of data that I don't keep.

My IRA return this year lagged my personal account's performance. However it's in a mutual fund that pretty much tracks the large cap averages. It's interesting to note that the IRA fund has never had as bad or as good a year as my personal account.

Thanks,
Tom
