Thanks a bunch, Jim. It so happens that I just "came into" some new funds, tax deferred, that I am ready to invest into another AIM account. The search for the ideal Lichello stock will be painstaking, to say the least. High tech? Internet? Blue Chip? Probably not overseas, as IIT, BFR, and FAK have me covered in that area. Also, my precious metal allocation is covered in DROOY. I've been itching to switch the energy fund (FSESX) into an individual stock like SLB, or maybe HAL or BHI, mainly because I can't place GTC limit orders on the fund, and I don't have the time to keep checking prices every day. My roots are in technical analysis, and I will usually choose an AIM stock by observing a price chart. Tom has been mentioning the brokerage stocks, and I'm not weighted in that area at all. My best AIM investments have been those that started "tanking" right after I bought them, and began their ascent after I had accumulated a boatload of shares. (I'm sure this will again happen with the gold stocks). But it may in fact happen with a so-called Blue Chip Internet stock; Blue Chip meaning they have actual earnings! Don't know yet what to do, and may the Wall Street force be with me!
Sincerely,
RFH |
