Hello Robert,

I've been following your discussion with Bernie with interest. You've made the essential point that proper use of AIM removes the uncertainty of entry points into the market, that over enough time and cycles AIM will sort out a purchase that was too 'high' or too 'low.'

Now, my question to you. I have been AIMing a basket of tech stocks since Christmas. This was a conservative transition phase from my earlier by-and-hold approach, which I abandoned after being won over to AIM by my own accidental use of some of the techniques and my discovery of Mr L's book on the subject.

So far, so good. AIM has done its job and I have had several sales and buys, although my results, while more than acceptable, would have been better had I treated each stock as an individual AIM account from the outset. I did not because I wanted to learn more about AIM first.

I am now ready to disaggregate the shares into unique AIM accounts. What price should I use for the starting point? Current levels? initial buys? Some other level? Clearly the decision will shape the initial AIM programs, determining whether transactions are needed immediately or not. BTW - I have the cash reserves to handle either approach.

Your analysis suggests it really doesn't matter over the long run. I'd like your thoughts, and those of the rest of the thread, on how best to proceed.

All bests,
Jonathan
