Hello Jim, I have been toying with my new PCA/AIM "simulator" and plugged in the DAILY price of Inktomi since it went public. Here are the results. INPUTS: Initial Stock Price $36.000 Ticker Symbol INKT Initial Number of Shares 400 Start Date 6/10/98 Minimum Market Order $500 Commission Per Trade 15.00 Optional Beginning Cash 0 Beginning Portfolio Value $28,800 RESULTS: Total Portfolio Value $63,434 Profit / Loss $34,634 Stock Value $26,270 Cash Reserve $37,164 Shares owned 145 Cost per Share $-84.780 Current Share Price $153.625 Current Trade Advice $-3926 Notice how the system locked in profits and sold all but 145 shares. With a run-up from 36 to 154, I would prefer AIM to lump-sum,buy/hold investing as far as the ulcer indicator any day. I wonder how many individual investors bought on the IPO and are still holding today? By the way, it took 10 times as long to "paste" this example here than it did to run it. Good Investing, Bill
