Hi, With limited funds you might want to consider using Mr. Lichello's twinvest as a method of accumulation. Bernie

Hi, Fox. Regarding AIM on margin, I did in fact use one of my AIM accounts to continue buying even after I ran out of cash. The stock in question was BFR. elnet.com Everything was going great until interest rates started rising and the stock price sank from around $27 to $16. I refused to stop buying and didn't want to fund the account any more, so I continued on margin. It took about 6 months to get back to break even, but the returns speak for themselves. Total margin interest was $102.00, but the average annual return to date comes out to almost 34%. My only fear at the time was that I would run out of margin, generating the dreaded "margin call!" Sincerely, RFH
