Hi Bud, We talked about this a bit at the AIM meeting last spring. I think you have to decide if the money invested has fallen into a category of "deteriorating", "dead" or "dormant!" :-)

As AIMers we can stand a dormant period if it's not ridiculously long because we know we'll get paid back. The other two portfolio illnesses require surgery - emergency or otherwise.

No use owning horseshoe factories any more no matter what price we can buy the shares. This gets back to a "macro economics" discussion a while ago.

At the same time, one has to design one's portfolio to suit their own lifestyle and time of life. AIM can be used with income stocks as easily as with growth stocks. But there will be a difference in activity level, most likely.

I still believe that if one will devote 5 minutes per month per equity to their AIM portfolios they will garner 90+% of what AIM can do for them. Most newbies suffer because they try to out-smart AIM.
"The stock's rising, so I'll hold off on selling even though AIM says I should." BOOM!!!
"The stock's falling, so I'll hold off on buying even though AIM says I should." BANG!!!

If we were that smart, we wouldn't need AIM!!!

Best regards, Tom
