Hi, Any time you trade shares Newport treats it as a regular buy and adds 1/2 of the trade to the PC. What you should do in the future is use the add shares option. If you are adding $$ to the issue add cash first using the add option. Hope this helps. Bernie

HI Larry, Bernie has already covered some of the territory. If you want to reduce your cash reserve percentage and "add" extra shares as non-AIM events, then it's a two step approach. First bring up the TRADE window and use the ADD SHARES option to complete that part of the operation. This will automatically add the same value to the Portfolio Control. Next, open the TRADE window again and, using the same date as the first part, use the DECREASE CASH option to reduce the Cash Reserve the same amount as you just spent on adding more shares to the account. Now all the accounting should be correct and the PC should also be right for continuing the AIM account. Hope this helps, Tom PS, I'm now out of my neck brace and feeling great. Thanks for asking.
