Hi Robert- Looks like it's that time of year for AIMers to tally results so the non-AIMers can cry in their beer. I just had my best year ever, thanks principally to EGRP. Here's the summary for my IRA which is run exclusively with AIM. The results include both securities and cash... everything lumped together with all commissions taken out of cash: Included dates Total AvgCashRes Return (Trailing 12 mo.) 12/31/96 - 12/31/97 63% 38% 12/31/97 - 12/31/98 62% 17% 12/31/98 - 12/31/99 86% 57% The only thing I did differently this year was to cash out of EGRP at its high for the year. You may recall that I ran out of cash last year when I tried to get greedy with too many Vealies. I didn't want the big run-up in EGRP to evaporate and leave me with $0 and unable to buy year-end bargains. However, I'm something of an EGRP junky, so I started getting back in later in the year. Hope I don't regret that decision. I'd certainly have had a double this year if I'd kept my position in BOBJ instead of CTAL. CTAL turned out to be too inactive while BOBJ is up over 12X for the year. Bernie, you were right!!!! :-) Bruce Bowman Menlo Park, CA
