tomasso---greetings from the "frozen tundra" of sunny socal. actually, enjoyed a sun baked day on the course yesterday in shorts as temps approached 80 degrees. the final round of the milenium was like most other rounds preceding it. some good, lotsa bad and a great time with friends betting $1 and $2 and watching as we all took turns choking. usually, this time of the year is wind down and enjoy but for a whole lot of reasons i am a busy and moreso than i want to be. i even have to travel on the 28th to clean up some loose ends in the northwest before this year ends. i have been keeping up by lurking about usually late at night and on the two ocassions i felt compelled to put my two cents in i guess i was so tired i hit the cancel instead of the send key. spared you all. i have set february 1st date as my target to have all in hand so i can get back to a more serene lifestyle both personally and profesionally, but doubt i'll accomplish that. however, i have hired more help and hopfully this will accomplish what i desire. as i think about it, i would suggest this has been a watershed year on this bb. more and varied comment than ever before by an ever growing group of ideaists, tinkerers and thoughtful provokers that make the commentary unique, insightful and oh so valuable to us mentally impaired who need all the help they can get. congratulations on steering the ship, captain tom! may the voayage into the next milenium not be a high beta but a continuation of the smooth sailing. god, i hate it when i get so worn down i write drivel like this. regards, morose in monterey

Hi, Tom. Thanks for taking the time to look at my AIM investments. In answer to your questions: <<I noticed you were able to save your Energy fund account by dropping all but a hundredth of a share out! Do you intend to continue tracking the fund for a new entry point below the 26 week M.A.?>> No, I have no intention on re-entering this fund as an AIM account. The only way I could get the ending Newport graphics was to leave a tiny amount of shares. Otherwise, Newport wanted me to delete it entirely. <<I note that the Newport returns are slightly different in total profits than your accounting software. Is it because of interest on cash, commission reporting or some other difference?>> The difference, as far as I know, is in the commissions charged. Also, I didn't start a couple of these accounts as AIM accounts, and there were some initial shares at various prices that went way back in time. I attempted to get an average price for these, but the spreadsheet is right on the money, so to speak. <<As I mentioned to Fuzzymath, we don't hide the fact that bad markets are tough to live through, but show that we survive them and prosper.>> Yes, it takes a lot of "guts" to stick with a sinking share price, but it sure seems to turn out rosy in the end! Thanks again, RFH
