Q.
Hi Tom
I have just read the book and am ready to begin the program. Right now I am researching stocks and mutual funds to buy and choosing asset
allocations. I am enjoying the process but it sure is confusing. Any
info you may have will be appreciated. Do you use the Newport software or do the transaction on paper?

Carol

Dear Carol,
When I started with AIM back a decade ago, I did all of my calculations long hand on 13 column paper. As I became 'literate' with computers, I created a template for Lotus 123 for running my AIM accounts. Much of what I learned about how AIM works comes from those times.

I'm now a NEWPORT user and am very content to let it do all the 'work' of keeping the spreadsheets up. It makes all the graphs and screens that I care to see regarding my AIM investments and does them quickly and without much of the computer's memory or hard drive space being used.

Please refer to my Questions and Answers page on the Web for some ideas on finding proper stocks and funds for AIM. You will find that page at: execpc.com
There are other pages nested on the AIM topic as well. Most of Mr. Lichello's book and even my own AIM pages make more sense after you have been keeping an account for a while. So you may want to do a couple of examples first and then go back and re-read some of the material again.

Please let me know how you are doing and if I can help any as you get started. Did you find my address thru Silicon Investor or thru the web pages on AIM? Always curious!!! Be patient with AIM as it takes a while for it to show results. I think you will be quite happy a year from now that you chose this risk management method.
Best regards,
Tom Veale
