Hi, Fox. In my humble opinion, I like the looks of IUSAA's chart. bigcharts.com However, some of those daily price swings would surely trigger my GTC orders not weekly, not daily but probably every 20 minutes! Then, Tom, Bernie, Dave and Keith would all be shaking their heads when they sauntered over to my web site to view the frantic trading! <g> I happen to love AIMing low priced stocks, and this one, again IMHO, would have been a beauty to start towards the end of April when it was around 10. The warehouse would be pretty much filled by now, just waiting for the price to rise and sell sell sell! Good luck. Sincerely, RFH

Hello Sir Fox, I cannot tell you whether or not IDXC is a good AIM stock or not because as you can tell from this thread AIM is many things to many people. However I would be glad to provide you with this information: Starting date 5/27/96 IDXC closed at 41.625 If you had invested $10,002 in IDXC you would have bought 240 shares. This would include a $12 commission. Today those shares would be worth about $7756 which is a net loss of $2246. If you had started an AIM program on the same day you would have bought 121 shares and reserved about $5000 as a cash reserve which would have been earning 5% interest for you. That 5% interest is not included in this calculation. As a matter of fact because of AIM, at one point in the three year period it would have grown to almost $7000 without the interest. Today, using AIM you would own 325 shares and $732 plus any interest you would have earned on your cash reserve. Your net loss would be $1774. The way I look at it you would be $472 and 105 shares ahead of the Buy and Hold investor. If you haven't done so already I would recommend you purchasing Mr. Lichello's book. It will be the best $5.99 investment you ever make. Bernie

As you can see, the longer you stay with a stock on AIM the better it gets. These numbers were arrived at doing the AIM thing once a month. Bernie
