You are right my post should have been OT. Not what I meant. What I meant was that if we get into a situation where 15-20 people start to dump their detailed analysis of individual stocks onto this thread, then the original subject matter of the thread is diluted to such a degree that the original intention about teaching AIM to newcomers and creating new concepts around AIM would be lost in the weeds. Sort of like having a bunch of loud neighbors move into your nice quiet neighborhood and partying every Friday and Saturday night. An occasional party or two is ok, but... I believe there are a couple more out there somewhere. How about using the one you started for technical analysis? I don't think so. That's pretty specific about screening for stocks and not directly related to AIM. In 20/20 hindsight, I should have just created a webpage explaining the concept and let it go at that. Can I indulge myself with a pet peeve? If we are going to create a new thread, then we have to have some mechanism for tracking the results. One of the reasons that we can attract people to this thread is that Tom originally had a webpage where he demonstrated the value of the concept with a significant history and track record. Robert jumped in and has created a nice site so we can watch his frantic trading. <grin> If we are to start a thread, the selections need to be tracked until the original persons says either, "I blew it, sell and move on", or "Everything is just fine, that recommendation I made on 10/22/98 is up xx%". I've just seen too many boards where you get an occasional hit and run poster and then 6 months later when it craters, you never hear from them again. You and I have privately exchanged individual ideas and I like the Briefing Book / DD format you are developing. Perhaps you and Robert could get together and develop a website where in-depth examination of stocks for AIMing could be kept. I don't have that nice fancy software Robert or Tom has to generate the charts, but they would really help promote a thread if accompanied with a detailed reason to own the stock as well as a good one page set of links to allow individuals to do further research if desired. I'd be happy to donate a similar cgi code for this type of page confirmatoryanalysis.com if you want it. ---- Dave
