Hi Jim, I'm comfortable with the TVR reading for AIM and, now that I understand the ACM value better, with it too. It's amazing that the momentum model is almost the exact opposite of the AIM model! ACM showing 25% invested and TVR and the IW showing about 75% invested!! There's no signs of "momentum" in the market right now unless you consider negative momentum to be interesting! :-) There does seem to be a bit of "basing" going on, but the market seems extremely nervous and "trendless." One of the reasons I chose Am. Century's Ultra fund (TWCUX) for my IRA is that it's almost a pure "MOMENTUM FUND" and pays little attention to fundamental valuations. That and their commitment to remain nearly fully invested through thick and thin meant they would have the volatility necessary to make AIM practical. So, I get Jim Stowers' momentum ability for the cost of their annual rate (about 1%) and moderate the risk with AIM. So far, so good. You have to remember that one of my favorite stories is "The Man Who Was Too Lazy To Fail" and that the guy in the story is one of my heros! Best regards, Tom
