Keith, I'm so glad you are enjoying this whole AIM experience. Personally, I've never had so much fun in investing since I hooked up with this bunch a long time ago on the Prodigy network.
As far as buying and selling, I have to admit that I have a lot to learn myself! The spreadsheets on my web site speak for themselves, but I'm sure many seasoned AIMers find a whole lot of fault with them. I probably set my minimums too low, and I probably trade too much. But I love the action, having my roots in commodities where daily ins and outs were more common. It's pretty slow when using stocks, and even slower when using mutual funds. Time seems to stand still in comparison.
I also have to admit that I'm more inclined to sell than buy, always trying to grab a profit here and there. When a stock gets into a slump for a prolonged period, I will restrict my buying to every other week, and when it really gets nasty, I'll go once a month. FSESX is an example of the latter. I guess it's my personal decision, and who knows. It may lead to my demise eventually. I just had ANOTHER sell in Wendy's today, and lately it seems that I've been selling this one every other week. I haven't done a Vealie yet! I need some quality time on a couch with Tom!!
Sincerely,
RFH |
