Jack, Keith:

Good! We can talk about baskets again. As you may know, my approach in my AIM IRA is to encourage activity. And, like Keith just mentioned relative to his wife's AIM IRA, it seems to only make sense to have some sector rotation, which will preserve cash and build inventories in the warehouse. It is for those reasons that I was brining up the whole discussion with Tom last week on counter cyclical sectors. Being a workingman, I just have not been able to justify the time to do the research I think is required to set up a strategy in that regard. I will get there however. Maybe 'baskets' could be a topic for the gathering.

Jack. Continuing our conversation on TWE. I got a sell yesterday @ 15 7/8, after a buy just 2 days prior @ 13 even. This after 2 buys last week as well in the low 13's. Net over the last 2 week was an increase in share inventory of 24%.

On the Vegas gathering......Reminder, May 14th is Mother's Day. Plan accordingly....No surprises.

Regards, "The Accumulator"

Hey Jack, The Money Show puts together a great bi-fold schedule that you should receive after you register. This program lets you look at what programs are available and at what time slots. Many of the presentations are delivered three times in the three days, with slight variations, so if there's a conflict one day, there might not be on one of the others. This really helps. I'd suggest that you look over the material before arriving and mark the presentations that interest you ahead of time.

Yes, most likely two days at the show will be enough for you to hit most of the programs that you'd like to see. Please remember that they start as early as 8:00 AM and some sessions run to 7:00 PM at night. Most are 45 minutes long with Q&A to follow. They rotate rooms about once per hour. At any given time there's probably 10 to 15 presentations going on someplace in the building.

The Exhibition Hall is also of interest. I found it a curiosity just looking at the diversity of exhibitors. There was one college, several software companies, a couple of venture capital firms, one or two Oil & Gas explorers, and Dot.Com's of every description. Lots of fun!

Speaking of fun, Jane and I headed to have dinner with old friends that now live in the greater Chicagoland area on Friday night. After dinner we headed in towards the city to go see my old Band play. I was one of the original Stingrays in SAL FORTUNATO AND HIS FABULOUS STINGRAYS back in 1968-71. Well, Sal has continued on without me and now has replaced the old stingrays with some with more curves! It was lots of fun and I did some video for Sal while he and his band belted out some tunes. Sal was kind enough to transfer some of the images (in still format) to his web site, so if you want to see Tom & Jane Veale and Tom & Lori O'Connor at the Lyons Den in ChiTown, just click on this web address:

salfortunato.com

Those of you in the Chicago area (over 21, that is) should try to see one of Sal's gigs. He puts on a great show. Jane and I haven't stayed up that late since before we had children!!

Best regards, Tom
