Hey Jack, Consecutive buys on a weekly or monthly basis certainly raise a Flag - whether it's red or green is then to be determined!

Yes, I've done essentially the same thing as you are discussing. I've been interested in an airline stock for several years and it recently has been tripping a sequence of AIM buys in a hypothetical account. I've kicked myself in years past for not buying when this has occurred. The stock has a typical range of +50% in a good year and -33% in a bad one. In other words, the price rarely breaks out of a range. This is a big enough range for AIM to do effective work. Fundamentally, energy and labor have recently been "against" the stock. The price is just above a 52 week low.

If you enjoy bargain shopping, this is a great way to achieve it.

Best regards, Tom

Hi Jack and all,
It's been a while since I've posted. Lots going on here (and here).

I think you are right on track using the simulation capabilities of PCA to feel around for an entry point. I have always had this idea that it might be possible to determine the optimum settings for the variables by back testing the stock and setting everything for maximum results, then using these settings for subsequent management. It seems like a reasonable form of analysis; using the previous price action as a guide on how to proceed. Look for an 'optimize now' button in PCA 5, and yes, the charts will have moving averages. More on all that later.

We have had our hotel and airline reservations confirmed for several weeks now for the convention. I'm looking forward to it very much. I visited the New York-New York hotel last time I was in Vegas. They have a "Wall Street" section with a facade of the NYSE. Good place for a group photo!

On a side note, I am leaving the "rat"-race of Orlando behind in a couple weeks and will be moving to Amelia Island, FL. I have secured a nice beach house and look forward to the calming effect of being able to see the ocean from my living room. It will definitely be a nice change of pace for me and I anticipate having a lot more time to devote to my 'intellectual pursuits'. Then again, I may just be a beach bum!

Anyway, y'all will be hearing a lot more from me in the near future, but first, I have to deal with the logistics of moving from my 15-year abode. You should see my change of address list!

More to come....

Best Wishes,
D1

Hi Jack, How is the creativity tonight.

Working on the Logo for our convention (shirts, hats, etc).

Think about a nice white golf shirt with a pocket. Just above the pocket the stitch reads AIM 2000. Just under neath the wording you have the oscillator graph. Red graph line with 26 week moving average (blue stitch). Sort of rolling along up & down with an up tick at the end. Then on the sleeve you have stitched Buy from the Scared (red), Sell to the Greedy (Green).

On the hat you have the same front stitch, but on the back you stitch AIM High and keep some Powder Dry.

What do you think, gonna send off to K-Products in the am.
