Hi Bob: I know how you feel. The temptation to 'take the money and run' is very powerful. One of the things I like about AIM is (after a while) it seems that it picks the lows and highs in an unerring fashion. It's almost spooky at times. The effect though is that it builds confidence in the system. eg: COMS....I got a sell on Monday and a buy on Tuesday. Both of these transactions were near or on the high or low for that day...10% apart. It happened again today kind of. All day long DG was about 1/8 to 1/4 higher than my GTC order (which was originally entered on Nov. 23rd). Then about an hour or so before the close, it dropped just enough to get my buy. I think my buy was within 1/16 of the low for the day. Now how does AIM do that? Spooky! Regards, Impressed in Italy

Hi FOX, I won't tell you how many small stocks I set up as AIM accounts using Newport only to 2 or 3 days later sell out and start all over again with other stocks. I will humbly confess I did luck out with about a 225 % return before taxes for 1999. Some would say that you are not AIMing; however, in my book, being a 'pure' AIMer or not doesn't really matter. What matters to me is results. So, I guess you win first prize for achieving the best bottom line return for 1999, unless someone else comes forward with even better numbers. (You put me to shame - I'll try to do better in 2000). BTW, what was the percentage of winners to losers? I am interested to know what you did to get that kind of result. Tell us if you like; it's not off topic as far as I know. Regards, Jack
