Q......
Tom

Here is my rather long winded AIM question:

I am Twinvesting a Mutual Fund in my 401k using the Newport Software.

I get paid the 15th and 30th of the month, instead of re-figuiring my
Twinvest code each week or month I settled on 75% of money to buy stock and 25% of money to go to cash each week from my check.

Every two weeks like clockwork I am buying shares in my mutual fund, adding cash to the reserve and enter the amounts in the "TRADE" section of Newport as "ADD BOTH" cash/funds.

Newport is asking me to buy 20 shares due to the stock market drop,
even though I am adding shares on a regular basis and my PC is increasing when I add shares.

--Should I be entering my additions as AIM recommend trades or as I have been doing?

Thanks, John

Hi John,

You are doing everything right. Possibly if you had been changing the allocation over time with the Twinvest model, it might not have asked you for more money to be spent now, but that's hard to guess.

However, what Newport is telling you as of this moment is that if you quit Twinvesting and turned the account into an AIM account, the first thing it would do is have you buy more shares! I guess that in happier times, it would possibly be telling you to sell a few shares.

You can just ignore the Buy/Sell advise for now while you are Twinvesting. Just use it as a barometer of what's up in the market place. Right now the Barometer is saying there's been a big change in the weather!!

Best regards, Tom

PS: Would you mind if I used this in the Q&A pages on SI? There's several other people using Newport and Twinvest right now and they might benefit from this.
