Hi Fox, Good Morning, nice to see someone else up catching the worms!

Also remember that you can split up your transactions when reporting to your AIM account. I do this with tiny holdings sometimes.

Let's say we own 200 shares of some stock. It's low enough priced that our minimum trade if we used 10 shares would be too small to be cost effective. 50 shares would be cost effective, but makes the Hold Zone so large that it is no longer practical.

What I do under those circumstances is to buy 50 shares when I get an AIM buy signal. I report 10 shares as the AIM BUY transaction and then use the ADD SHARES feature to add in the extra 40. The reverse of this process can be used when selling.

I know, this ain't AIM BTB, but with tiny, more conservative accounts it has helped to build the position while still generally following AIM's guidelines.

Once the account is up to "critical mass" then I just use AIM as usual.

Best regards,
Tom
