Hi Scott, however with some accounts I will start using the "half way to the wall" method soon. Funny you should mention that because I've been thinking about that a lot lately. Wonder why?<ggg> Here is my reversed thoughts. Vealie's are excepted on the sell side. On the buy side it seams that there are two exceptionable methods. You inflate the buy safe from 10 to 20% or more to pump the brakes or you leave the settings alone and buy half has much, as your zero cash reserve rounds the corner. What about going 1/2 way to the wall on the front end of buying? Yes, buy 1/2 as much as you are directed with AIM on the first 50% of a 50% cash reserve and go all the way to the wall on the last 50%. Seams that you would get more shares at a better price with this alternate. I'm working on the math and a test model, but I don't have enough grease on the gears just yet. But then how do we determine the next true buy point if we only execute 1/2 of the recommended purchase? Another side benefit is that you draw more interest income with a reduced buy method. Food for thought. Keith

Hi Scott, Thanks for the recap. I did a bunch of buying as well last week. I assume you saw the news on SFS. We're soon going to own another stock because of the merger. Guess we'll have to start studying the new company. At least it's not a cash deal where Uncle Sam makes out like crazy while we have to find something new! Good to see that your NERX turned a profitable trade for you! My overall cash reserve is sitting about 28% overall right now. Some of the stocks are showing 80% cash while others are in much sadder territory. I expect to be reducing the Buy SAFE levels back towards more traditional settings now that the dust seems to be settling on Wall Street. With ICA I'm sitting in negative Cash territory. The company news is still not bad, but life is tough in the construction industry right now. No respect. Best regards, Tom
