Hi Tom, That indeed was a very good explanation. If there are any folks out there who are interested in this method of cash management but want a little less risk, I would like to recommend RCS which is the same sort of thing except with medium term bonds. The dividend is a little less on a percentage basis but if you put charts of both simultaneously you will notice a much smaller drop in RCS. I hold both RCS and GSF. Bernie

Hi Tom, Steve, and Bernie Thank you all for your input on GSF/RCS as a cash management tool. The down side to these would seem to be either a drop in yield (rather gradual I would think) or a drop in stock price (possibly at a time I would want to withdraw cash for other AIM investments). Overall it looks like the rewards outweigh the risks. One of the few things that have bothered me about AIM is the amount of cash sitting on the side lines earning a minimal return. Being at about 46% cash, this could really help my total performance. I will try to keep track of what happens and post the results. Thanks again, ssh
