Hi SAM, I found the page, but didn't get the links right until I went to your page: geocities.com and worked from there. It looked like TRPrice New Asia was a pretty gloomy place to be for much of '98, but it's going Gang Busters so far this year. Congratulations on sticking it through. The Graphs and summary page all came through just fine. I'd meant to create a link to your site from mine some time ago, but got distracted. (not hard!) I'll see if I can get it done before ST memory loss makes it fade again!! It would appear that you added about $300 fresh money in the very bottom of '98. The graph shows a PLUS but there'd been now cash there previously. In Newport there's a way to cure this: 1) If you want to add cash and make an additional AIM directed buy, first look at your HISTORY pages and record what the earliest date is. 2) Open the TRADE window and use the ADD CASH feature. 3) Enter the DATE taken from the HISTORY page and enter the amount of cash to be added. 4) The BAR GRAPH will now show the cash as though it was there from the very beginning. You can then make the trade without the Cash Reserve going to negative values at the time of the trade. In your case, it's a little more complicated in that you'll have to find the date of when you did add the cash and back it out with a REDUCE CASH command in the TRADE window. Then your graph will run out of cash at the EXACT bottom when you made your last purchase. It will get rid of the hiccough in the middle of the BAR GRAPH picture. Hope this helps. Thanks for bringing us up to date on your fine work. Best regards, Tom PS: By using Newport's ADD BOTH feature in the TRADE window, you can easily use TWINVEST inside Newport. At the time you're ready to switch on AIM, it should be all set and ready to go - plus have a nice price history already established. The graphs look very nice when done this way.

Hi SAM, You will enjoy looking at the AIM sample I put up this week at my site. My friend's IRA was started 9 years ago and has doubled twice in that time! Since she's added no new cash (Stay At Home Mom) since this account was re-started with AIM, the accounting is easy and very accurate. This account hasn't had an abundance of AIM trade activity, but has continued to do well and trade at what appears to be the "most critical" times. Started at about half of the value that Mr. Lichello suggested, it's now more than twice his starting value. Not bad for 9 years of very low key work. execpc.com Best regards and happy Thanksgiving, Tom PS: I noted on the summary that Sheree actually has more shares today than when she started the account! Lots more cash as well!
