Hi Keith, I just updated the graphs for the UOPIX fund that several of us AIMers are using. It's been almost exactly one year since we opened that account for the fraternity alumni's account and as of yesterday's close, it's clocked a 97% total return. That while being between 35% and 50% CASH! Certainly Mr. Buynhold would find lots of fault with AIM over the time in question, but 1999 never seemed like a year without any uncertainty! The first year's gains will go a long way towards keeping this account in a "happy zone" for my fellow alumni. Take a look at execpc.com to see what I mean. I didn't have to spend any time selecting stocks for this account, just bought and managed the fund. What's embarrassing is that this account will probably whip my own efforts!!! I hate having a dumb index fund humble me! Best regards, Humble in Horicon PS: only 400 more posts to 10K! <OT> If interested in a bit of Milwaukee Blues and some great harmonica try out Jim Liban Blues Combo. The album is Blues for Shut-ins. Jim's been singing the blues since before I arrived in WI in 1976. He used to have a band called Short Stuff that I'd hear at some of the saloons in Milwaukee when I was young. Most of this album is original Liban compositions. Also take a look at Steve Cohen's Duo Personality. He was (is?) the lead singer of a blues band called Leroy Airmaster. His album is a mix of original and classic tunes. I had the good fortune of seeing both Steve and Jim on stage together this summer at one of the local festivals. Just the two of them singin' the blues, playin' the harp and Steve playin some great blues guitar licks. There was plenty of other music around, so I was pleased to see the crowd that these two gathered to hear some simple blues. Both albums can be found at bluescds.com Steve's is found at bluescds.com TV

Hi Keith, Regarding signals and timing, I am not competent to deal with daily timing signals...they drive me up a wall. I am more comfortable with longer-term signals, like the IW. Anyway, here is a link to a longer-term valuation timing model for the S&P500 that I really like. All the formulas, etc. are transparent for anyone interested in how the model works. As well, the out-performance of the model over B&H is quite impressive. Have a look... magma.ca Regards, Jack
