No it's your turn, I hope you have a helmet with ear protectors. When you fall a sleep in this class, the coach wakes you up with a little Chalk dust on your face. Get ready to learn... Good to see you here, Good night. Keith

Gary, I really like AIM because it's a disciplined method of investing/trading. I started out AIMing, and then later strayed into short-term trading mutual funds. I wish I had never even bothered with short-term trading; that's no way to have a sane, balanced life, IMO. I am AIMing all the way, even though I am still interested in exploring how I might do better by utilizing entry and exit points (i.e., avoid the big down cycle, if possible). A couple of things to keep in mind are: 1. You have to do your homework and choose your securities carefully. 2. When your stock or fund drops 50 to 70%, you will learn a lot about yourself (if you haven't already experienced that), and it would be the worst possible time to exit. That's the time to hang in and have patience, as someone else (steve in socal?) said. Regards, Jack
