Sure thing, Will. Check out the SI A.I.M. thread. Tom has links to his own site, his AIM newsletter, and charts and graphs of numerous examples. Also, Lichello's book, which has the unfortunate title "How to Make $1,000,000 in the Stock Market Automatically." There are several inexpensive software packages to help keep track of everything. They are worth every penny.
Of the AIM community I follow on the Web, I appear to be the only one AIMing only semi-equips (and a few compound semis). We have worked out a few refinements to account for the deeply cyclical nature of these holdings. For example, I generally allow 30 days between trades UNLESS it represents a reversal. In other words, a BUY means at least 30 days before exercising another BUY, but no such time limit on the first SELL.
I learned this the hard way when I had a 30-day rule in place for any trade, and I missed a chance to buy and then immediately sell 300 KLIC on a very quick move. Live and learn.
Post any questions you may have. I'd like to revitalize the SI thread on AIM with fellow tech investors.
