Entry Points for AIM I agree with Barry on nearly every point. Since we cannot KNOW that a repeating price trend will continue, we make the decision to jump in when we have the cash to start a new AIM and we have narrowed our choices down to one. Where the stock price is in its current cycle is irrelevant. Getting in and staying in is the important point. If we KNEW that the repeating trend would continue, as Barry said, we would go 100% stock at the bottom of the cycle and to 100% cash at the top. I knew people at Texas Instruments who attempted such, the rumors had it that the people in the middle to upper levels were doing so successfully, but I never knew anyone who could claim to have done this successfully. My own attempts were not very fruitful. As a result, I was READY for AIM when I was exposed to it. Robert - Mr AIM Aggressive

NO MATTER WHERE YOU START YOU WILL MAKE A TON OF MONEY ... SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT AND JUST JUMP RIGHT IN. I have to disagree with this statement somwhat - I have done simulations buying IBM at 160 (or whatever the high was) and following it done to 44 - my thought was that the trading action on the way down would substantially mitigate the decline - WRONG! it was a nasty decline and took years to recover from - so, buying at the top is not very healthy - but I do agree that it isnot necessary to get in at the exact bottom - for example anyone entering UPOIX now, which is about half way in the recent range, will do quite well IMO Bob
