Tom - Question for you: Nothing is easy and deciding to follow a certain investment philosophy in putting my hard-earned dollars at risk is very hard, but most important. Before that decision is made, is the time for extensive research and questions. Once, the proper investment philosophy is decided upon, it should be pursued with all energy and vigor. Two basic philosophies exist: 1) Time the market. Try to get out at the highs and get back in at the lows. For example, Point & Figure is one such approach that has a wide following among knowledgeable SI members. 2) Use A.I.M. Do not time the market. Rather than trying to sell at market highs and buy at market lows, take a different tack - buy as the market is going lower and sell as the market is going higher. Do this before the highs and before the lows. I am at the stage of making a choice between these two investment philosophies. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. Neither one is absolutely right or wrong all the time. Big question: Have you compared Point & Figure to A.I.M and why did you choose A.I.M. as your personal approach to investing? Best regards, Skipperr
