Good morning, Re: Buys, Sells and 'vealies'.........................

Here's a rough approximation of when the 'vealies' occurred along the way. The "X" indicates the times
when AIM suggested at least a minimum selling amount. Each of these times I instead chose to add to the
Portfolio Control value 1/2 of the amount suggested to be sold. (Note I mis-counted yesterday as one was
when I was adjusting PC to sync with older software that I'd been running while BETA testing the new)



Each 'vealie' was done because there was already enough cash in the AIM engine to keep it lubricated. I
used my MRI as the guide to what the appropriate cash level was for an individual stock at the time of the
decisions. I noted that all of the buys except one were for 12% additions to share count with the exception
of one. Because much of the selling was done when the cash was quite near the MRI value many of those
sales were for just 5% of the shares being held. This was done so I wouldn't over-shoot the cash MRI target
by too much. Several times thru this history it would be Sell, vealie, Sell to keep the cash reserve level
tightly controlled at or near the MRI value.

While this sort of tinkering with the AIM machinery isn't as "automatic" as Mr. Lichello had in mind, I feel as
AIM's supervisor, it has been a necessary task. To have sold every time AIM suggested along this history
would have put the current cash reserve well above 50% and would have diluted overall growth
performance.

Best wishes,
OAG Tom
