This week Value Line gave us yet another stock for our PIC List. Quicksilver (ZQK) reached #5 for Timeliness while still residing on the Highest Growth Stocks (HGS) list.

As fate would have it, the PIC list this week came back to Break Even and is currently posting about a 1.5% profit for the Buy and Hold portfolio. However, it should be noted that AIM's active management of the account is currently indicating a 9.5% profit on the same portfolio of stocks. Clearly this improvement is nice to have in such a pathetic market year. What's even nicer is that it has been done with quite a bit less total risk.

Currently AIM's portfolio is 76% invested compared to B&H being 100% invested all the time. AIM effectively used the Cash Reserve during the most trying of times in September and October and is now refunding that cash.

Clearly the PIC selection method has done a pretty good job during a trying year. Also clear is the fact that active management also did a nice job when compared to Buy and Hold.

Best regards, Tom
