Hi Tom and all the Gang..want to give thanks for being clued into AIMING JBL in July '99. I amazed at the cash cow this stock has been. It often bales me out of letting the totl cash levels in my ira portfolio of nine aim stocks go to near zero. The only problem with a "grower" like jbl has been so few buying oportunities. Since getting #1300 shares in July '99 @ avg$ 42.47 I have had 10 sells and only 2 buys. For wk of 6/25/00 my totl portf cash was down to 22.5k or 2505 per stock...not nearly enought to do any more buying should AIM direct. But then jbl gave me three wkly sells and the cash afterward now sits a 59.4..the only other sell was good ole APCC that sold once also during the 3 wk period. It also sold today and cash now is at 68.4K level. I made my first aim purchases in June '99 and for someone who spent the last 6 to 7 years looking a real time on a monitor I can not shout loud enough how nice it is to have a life again and also how much more profitable aim has been for me. If there is one thing i need to do, its to focus on control of my cash level better. I use Newport to follow aim and find that the indivual cash % for each stock difficult to use since i have always looked at portf total cash. Any suggestion on how to work a "pot of cash" approach instead of looking at nine "pottlets" (for you gardeners out there) would be helpful. Not liking to give Charles Schwab to much in commission i have gradually moved to transactions of 8 to 10k size to justify the $60 round trip cost. I try to keep stock positions(orignal cost) between 30 to 40K. I have tried modifying PC when a big sell messes up aim using Trading Bands on AIQ Charts as a guide to where the Techn Analyis systems project both upper and lower $ ranges. This seems to work ok but from the many comments on leaving the PC alone i have gone to trying to make the necessary adjustments with safe values only...sometimes this leads to the use of safe numbers that seem weird to me...both negatives and positives safe numbers. Being a more visual than math oriented person, the use of bands on charts to keep the trading ranges adjusted so far seems to be working out well. I have just finished looking at the AIM2000 video and sure wished i could have been there. Also Bob g's service is much faster than any of the E buisness I have ordered from on the net..Bob could help ole Amazon out on speedy delivery...Thanks Bob.. Hope all are getting lots of trades...bj
