Hey Tom, I figured out a little optimization technique my self this week. It was when I first put this AIM 2000 cap on my head that the market started to fall. This past weekend I began to think that maybe there was some correlation with the market and the way my cap was setting on my head. I thought possibly there might be an optimum position for the cap setting on the head of an AIM Trader like my self. So I began to experiment with different setting's. First I took and turned the bill of the cap so that it hung over my right ear. Will call this the Bill Effect. I wore it like that for a couple of hours and I didn't really notice any significant changes good or bad. Kind of at a loss, I then decided to turn the bill 180 degrees so that it covered my left ear and almost instantly realized that by pure accident I had found the optimal setting. You see my terminal is to my right side and by turning the bill of my cap to my left side, I found that it blocked the glare from the light fixture behind me and improved my visual relationship with my screen 100%. Normally I have to sort of bob and weave my head around so as to get in a position where the glare is manageable but still not totally under control as it is with my new optimal setting. Now I have worn my cap all week with the bill to left side as I just described and the market has vastly improved. Although it has only been four days, I feel that I have pretty much proven that I have found the optimal setting for the AIM 2000 - AIM High & Keep Some Powder Dry cap. I know what you are thinking. Four days doesn't prove anything!!! But I thought it was significant enough that it showed a possible trend and wanted to encourage all AIMer's out there to try this with their cap's next week. Who knows what we might accomplish in mass numbers. I think that the key to the setting is that the bill of the cap must be positioned on your head exactly 180 degrees from your screen. Some of you may have your screens to the left, requiring the positioning of the bill over your right ear. And others may have the screen directly in front which would turn the bill directly over your neck. Some words or caution. There appear to be a few side effects, some bad and some good. Since I have had to run out about town quite a bit this week, I just noticed that my right ear is severely Sun burned. Will call this the Burn Effect. So depending upon your own individual optimal settings and if you choose to wear your cap out in public at that setting, please apply some Sun Screen exactly 180 degrees from the bill setting. For those of you that have your bills set to the back, be extra careful so that you don't get the Sun Screen in you eyes. One other side effect that I noticed is that when some one is talking to me from my left side the bill of the cap tends to muffle the sound making it hard to hear. We will call this the Baffled Zone. This effect can be both bad and good. The bad being that several times this week I've found my employees doing things that I really didn't approve of. Yet when I asked them, they would say something like "I spoke to you about this in your office not over an hour ago". The good I've found is that when my wife is speaking to me she is no longer able to interrupt my concentration like she could in the past. Now I must be totally honest with you. Most of you know me well enough to know that I've never had an original thought in my life. So where did this Revelation come from? I think it was a subliminal message sent to me by Barry Savage. I have this mental image of him at the very end of the AIM 2000 meeting with his cap on sideways. At first I thought it was a total accident because he was gathering up his material and just kind of threw the cap on his head. But this weekend it dawned on me that everything he does has a mathematical foundation. So that is what sent me on my optical quest. That's my contribution to the BB for the week. Remember the wise words of Saul, "What's a little optimizing among friends." Monday morning I will be visualizing AIMer's everywhere with their Caps Optimized (the Bill effect), and the market continuing on with it's gains. Keith PS - remember that you can not verify this theory unless you test it out your self.
