Hi Barry, In Value Line we can see two measures of price movement. One is BETA and V/L's is very steady, changing only slowly over time. The other, less used one is "Stock Price Stability." This is more like your frequency and amplitude idea. I don't have the information any more that tells how they calculate it, but I'm sure one of the AIMers that has V/L's service might be willing to look up its definition and formula. This value (from 5 to 100 with 100 being the most stable) is found in the lower right hand corner of the page. Generally I've found that ratings of 20 or less make for exciting times on the AIM front. Best regards, Tom

Barry, your knowledge and wit never cease to amaze me (100% of the time). Thanks for the insight. My AIM selection criteria is heavily weighted to frequency and amplitude as seen on a long term chart (five years if possible). By the way, I've finally had another sell in GUMM, my "cure for the common cold" stock. The sell was at 15 1/2, and the stock closed at 16 1/8. No other action this week so far, however. I've noticed that WCOM had a decent day, up almost 3 bucks. No selling for me yet! Sincerely, RFH elnet.com Sincerely, RFH
