Bill: Thanks for your response. Can you tell me what the Newport software does that your new PCA version does not do - only as it pertains to A.I.M.? Also, what does Newport software not do that PCA does? What is the difference in price? You said a good A.I.M.'er would use both. Why both? When will your new version be out? Can you give me your opinion on what is the best way to set A.I.M. parameters for someone who just wants to buy index stocks such as SPY, MDY, DIA, QQQ, XLK, XLP, XLF, etc.? Since I would just like to buy these and hold them forever, I want the best way to set AIM to do much better than B&H. I don't mind high risk and the "book" method for AIM is much too conservative for me, even the "new" book method from 50% cash to 33% cash is too conservative. I am looking for a way to systematically buy dips and sell on the way up to add more cash to buy dips,etc. You get the picture. I don't want to watch them every day necessarily but will if that will provide the maximum profits. I would prefer updating about once per week. It sure would be nice to do the backtesting to see which provides greater returns - daily/weekly/biweekly/monthly. I gather your software can allow these tests to be done quickly. Again, I would be grateful for your input. HiTech
