Hi everyone, Ashamed to admit I've been derelict in my duties. I've been basking in the thoughtful posts of all my great colleagues here, and not contributing a thing! I apologize. With 2 jobs, I barely have time to keep up with my reading which takes considerably less effort than writing. We have the first beta of the new PCA, and I have a $1 bet with Doug that we can release it before the "first snowflake falls on Wallstreet". As soon as it quits crashing our computers, we will offer it to a few brave souls to have a look at! Since it's modular, it will be very easy to fix any "bugs", or change and add features rather quickly. Soon, we will have the most advanced piece of AIM software on the planet. I'm sure everyone has seen the screenshots we originally made of the new PCA: 206.245.182.220 Our data feed (North American stocks and funds), will be provided by CSI data, who is Yahoo's supplier. We have our own server now to store this behemoth of a file. We're also making sure everything works fine without the data feed for our overseas users in more than 27 countries. Tom is doing such a great job of "evangilizing" AIM, there is little I can add. Spending a couple hours reading about AIM on the various sites will provide more than enough information for an investor to make a decision on whether AIM is a suitable strategy for them. I get the feeling that most of the negative book reviews at Amazon came from those who don't understand that what Mr. Lichello gave us in his book is more of a "tool" than anything. It is not "set in stone". AIM functions as a risk-management strategy, and a lot of people don't get that. Also, as Socal was so kind to point out, most of us "working stiffs" don't have the time to devote to the "frantic-momentum-day trading-talking head-CNBC-hot tip" world of investing. Whether an investor actually uses the advice AIM gives him or not, it's foolish to approach anything with such a closed-mind as some of these individuals seem to have. People should learn to broaden their horizons and not be so quick to take everything at it's face value. There are so many ways to use AIM that I can see, it's like a "personalized" program for each person. After all, what other technique could have one guy buying and one guy selling the exact same stock at the exact same price? I wonder if everyone was using AIM if there would be any market volatility? You guys really come up with some interesting conversation here. Sometimes it's a comedy, sometimes a tragedy, but most assured, a very compelling read. Some darn good stocks have been discussed recently. Please keep up the good work! There could potentially be "thousands" of lurkers in here. Trust me. Best Wishes, D1
