Bernie, I decided to ask you a question about the AIM
spreadsheets because I believe you advised me of their availability a few weeks ago. Also, I haven't been able to contact GW Riedeman via the e-mail addresses listed in the instruction text file which accompanies the spreadsheets.

I'm confused (very) as to how a buy recommendation can be shown when the stock value exceeds the portfolio control. I have the same question about the sell recommendation instructions too. See below what was extracted from the text.

Notes:
1. The fundamental AIM algorithm implemented is:

* Portfolio Control is initially set at initial stock value.
* Safe values calculated as percentage of stock value.
* Buy recommendation shown when stock value exceeds Portfolio Control by more than minimum trade limit AND the number of shares to be traded at current price exceeds minimum trade limit.
* Sell recommendation shown when Portfolio Control exceeds stock value by more than minimum trade limit AND the number of shares to be traded at current price exceeds minimum trade limit.

The above appears to be just the opposite of what the AIM algorithm is saying. Right?

Thanks for your answer.

Jack
