Hi JS, Split SAFE really is meant to allow us to do two things:
1) adjust the characteristics of AIM as to create a bias for Accumulation or Dispersal.
2) adjust the size of the Hold Zone to be practical relative to the equity in question.

I never intended it to be changed on a weekly basis. I consider it a "set and forget" item. I made a significant shift in the SAFE values of my equities in March of 2000 to protect my hindside. I've really not made any significant changes since.

My plan is to continue letting "vealies" control the size of the Cash Reserve and therefore the Sell trades. "vealies" are only used when the Cash Reserve meets or exceeds the Idiot Wave's requested cash reserve suggestions. Right now it's still suggesting 30% cash for individual stocks and sector funds and 20% for diversified mutual funds.

If you have already satisfied the IW's Cash Reserve suggestion, then consider using the "vealie." By raising the Sell SAFE, you are increasing the total size of the Hold Zone. This is different than what the "vealie" does. The "vealie" raises both the Next Buy and Sell prices a small amount. Increasing the Sell SAFE only raises the next Sell price.

I hope this helps a bit.

Best regards, Tom
