Yes, Jack, and welcome back. I'm using Bob Norman's Newport software for buy and sell points, and I love how the buys and sells just fall so neatly above and below the moving average line. Sincerely, RFH

Hi Jack, It takes a pretty wild ride to get AIM to be buying back before the price crosses below the 26 week Moving Average. The M.A. in those Newport examples is an exponential calculation to approximate 26 weeks. My VTSS example at the web site shows such an extreme. Currently AIM's asking for a buy, but I'm hesitating because the price is still above the 26 M.A. (See execpc.com ) Long ago when I first started doing simulations of AIM with various stocks it occurred to me to see just how "efficient" AIM's trades were. I created a 6 month time horizon for a moving average as part of that test and added it to the Lotus 123 graphs at the time. I was delighted that most every buy was "south" of the M.A. and most every sell was "north" of it. This increased my enthusiasm for AIM long before I'd become very experienced at it. AIM turns out to have pretty good "technical efficiency." Best regards, Tom
