Hi Don, There's a list of all my stocks and graphs to go with them at

aim-users.com

These aren't recommendations so much as examples of what I've been able to do with AIM. It's nice to have a stock or fund that participates in an area of the economy that's near to your interests. That can be a company in the area that you know well or an industry or sector that interests you. This helps to keep your interest.

Well, 20 years is long enough for the "Contemplation" stage of investing! :-) AIM should treat you well as long as you feed it good quality food. Since you already have a "Small Cap Fund" you might want to consider a large cap to go with it. There you have a choice of QQQ or UOPIX for tracking the NASDAQ 100 Index. That's the 100 largest capitalization stocks on the NASDAQ. QQQ emulates the index directly while UOPIX is hyperactive at approx. twice the percent moves of QQQ on a daily basis.

QQQ you can trade like a regular stock and can use "Good 'til cancelled" orders. UOPIX you trade like any mutual fund. Profunds has a $15,000 minimum for starting an account with UOPIX directly with them. Through a brokerage you can probably start a smaller account, but watch for limitations on when your order can be placed during the day.

Best regards, Tom
