Hi Tom, Mr. Lichello's suggestion of about 5% of the equity value for minimum trades is about right. It works with 10% or higher, but the Hold Zone moves further with each trade. Let's say you bought a stock at $7.00 and AIMed it, as it proceeded down to about $5 and then up to $16. At 16, the initial minimum trade setting might now be less than 5% of equity value. Is it advisable to adjust the minimum trade amount (back to 5%) from time to time in Newport to reflect a significantly lower or higher equity value? BTW, how's your brother doing with AIM? I had shared the AIM concept with two of my brothers many years ago. Back in 1983 or so, I even gave my copy of the Money Spinner to one of them who was working with Intel, because I thought he might benefit more from it than I, since I had more ideas than investment capital at the time. I don't believe either of them have applied the AIM strategy. I guess, so far, I am the only one interested in this 'money machine' concept. Regards, Jack
