Hi HT, I may quote you in my opening remarks! Sorry you won't be able to join us. I'm planning to head to the Florida event also - to get a feel for the show and see any Snow Bird AIMers that might be around. I find the hardest time with AIM isn't when stock prices are going up or down, but when they flatten out like LU did for four months. It's the INactivity that seems to make me a bit nutty! Recently my Mexican and Hong Kong funds have been improving. They're nearing AIM SELL points again after being in a "quiet period" for some months. The one fund I use for my IRA is looking more and more like an S&P500 Index Fund even though it's supposedly a growth stock fund. It too had fallen asleep. So far November is turning out to be one of the better months of the year for me. All this just in time for Thanks Giving! Best regards, Pilgrim Tom

I bought some stock this morning(for a new AIM investment) and then set GTC orders on buy and sell. Only 35 shares for the buy. I set it at approximately 8% below what I paid for it this morning. A few minutes later, the GTC triggered a buy at a price that does not show on the "low" for the day for this particular stock. I don't mind getting it at 8% below this morning's price but the real time quotes for the day's high and low don't even come close to what I bought it at. Was someone at the broker's office giving me a new year's present? How could this happen? Can they take it back if they realize they made a mistake? HiTech
