Tom, Can you explain to me the ramifications of these two options? Option #1 - buy safe = 0, sell safe = 20% and Option #2 - buy safe = 20%, sell safe = 0% If I use option #1 on the GALT data I end up with AIM $6k behind B&H, but if I use #2, I end up with AIM 17k behind B&H. Remember 10%, 10% was $11k behind. On the surface these would all appear to be the same with AIM slicing out 20% profits on swings, but I'd like your insight. Clearly they aren't the same. Can you explain? I assume it didn't trigger a buy Actually AIM did quite well selling GALT into the $30's, buying it back in the low $20's and then selling on the way up. It is only in the past 6 weeks or so when it leaped from "undervalued" to "fairly valued" that AIM got left in the dust. 3/09/99 -173 24.625 3/29/99 -180 26.391 3/31/99 -169 28.268 4/07/99 -172 30.501 4/20/99 +209 22.774 5/06/99 +202 21.835 5/14/99 -178 29.674 5/20/99 -175 31.992 6/04/99 -169 34.578 6/16/99 -161 37.478 6/17/99 -164 40.986 6/29/99 -150 44.776 + = buy, - = sell, buy and sells set for 5% of portfolio. ---- Dave
