Hi Bob, My Idiot Wave would agree that we're in the middle of the "average risk" range. However, not having access to the Oracle Of Delphi, I'm never sure what the Practical Joke Dept. has in store for my account. That's why I use AIM in the first place!

The more fully we stay invested, the closer approach we make to Mr. Buynhold in the first few price cycles. Mr. Buynhold plants his whole crop and prays for a good growing season. The AIM user keeps some seed in reserve in case the weather moves against him. Both want a bumper crop, but one is prepared in case of a failure.

AIM's cash is its insurance policy. Like all things, there's always a risk/reward relationship. We "risk" the cost of the insurance knowing that if some disaster happens we can probably recover. Without the insurance, we're at the whims of FATE. We sacrifice the potential of that cash on the "reward" side knowing we don't have 20/20 foresight.

AIM functions in two ways: it acts as our guide for purchasing additional shares and as our sales coordinator relieving us of inventory profitably. Both ends have to work well for us to achieve our goals.

Best regards, Tom
