Hi Keith, Hope the meal and the meeting went well!!! There's been plenty of food for thought here recently!

Here's one..... There's a "version" of AIM that was sold as a DOS based software several years ago was called "MYWAY." It is an interesting derivative. In their plan, they modify AIM's overall structure to "sell out" of a stock as it rises. Not just limit exposure, but actually deplete inventories to zero.

One of our "lurker" AIMers sent me a copy this summer and I've been meaning to look deeper into it since then, but alas, I've not made time yet. As I do I'll make reports here. Of course this strategy has the same fatal flaw as other short term trading strategies in that it potentially leaves money on the table if the rally extends beyond what we originally anticipated.

Digging up VTSS one more time, MYWAY would have been "out" of the stock well before its time. My original shares cost about a buck and a half in '93. It's now at about $68 and I'm still very much in the game. MYWAY would have been looking for a way back in.

Best regards, Tom
