Hi Steve, let me see if I am in tune with the basket stuff. In my wifes IRA I have 12 in the basket. Ten is the max, but I keep two extra to see who runs & who falls. My thought is to AIM the group as one M-Fund, call it Eve. Each equity is set up as Tom has suggested by the IW Indicator. But I have cheated on the cash reserve!!! This will bite me in the butt when the market tanks, but maybe I will adjust prior. What I have done for tweaking is too make sure I have double the cash value if all the GTC buy orders are triggered. Example: AIM requested total cash reserve of say $20,000, my buy orders equal $5000 so I reserve only $10,000 for the "Basket". Is this what you are saying? In reality she starts of with a lot of buys and them a major run on sells. I look at this sudden influx of cash & I say now what? Can't run that coarse again... But in the Basket of 12 there are 3 M-Funds that I've pulled Vealies on about every other week, so I come to the conclusion that everytime the cash gets above the two time limit, I simply add to the funds for insurance. Does the plan make sense? Keith
