Hi Tom I have had computer porblems for the past two weeks so I have been out of touch. I had a 32 meg. DIMM OR SIMM (whatever they call them) go bad. I did get my newport backed up and some of my data files but it has been interesting (not) trying to get my system back to where it was. Anyway I promised to keep everyone posted on my progress with my QQQ AIM account. So here it is. If you remember I closed my UOPIX account and opened my QQQ account and as it turns out I caught the top of the NAS 100 at 114. I have also changed my safe values based on your and Bernie's suggestion. I was using 10% buy and sell safe values but have changed to 0% buy and 10% sell. Account history is as follows: 4/25/99 initial purchase 150 @ 114.00 5/30/99 bought 10 @ 102.00 6/13/99 bought 10 @ 103.5625 6/13/99 added 10 @ 103.5625 I added the additional shares on 6/13/99 to lower my cash position which was a little rich. So right now my QQQ account information is: Buy Safe 0% Sell Safe 10% Min. Trade $1000 Hold Range 100.858 to 125.248 cash 37% Results -1% I have had some problems in understanding how to use the Newport program because when I added the 10 shares the dollars didn't come from cash like I wanted but Newport said I added dollars to the original investment and didn't change the cash reserve. So I had to do some changes to get the PC and Cash Reserve right. I think I got it OK? I guess what you have to do is buy shares (not add shares). But because Newport looks at this like a normal buy it only adds 1/2 the value to PC. So I changed the PC to reflect the whole cost for the shares. Did I get this right? Oh well the numbers seem to be right. Hope your recovery is going well. Larry G
