Jack; My opinion may be a minority...nevertheless, you asked for responses..... 1. Would you trade, i.e., buy or sell shares based on the RSI, ROC or Bollinger data, instead of the AIM recommendations?? If you would, there are web sites that provide that information on any stock or fund, plus many other indicators that might help you make a buy/sell decision. If you want to follow the AIM recommendations, why would you want to clutter the buy/sell calls with TA....by definition, TA is an art, rather than a science, and requires emotional decisions......the true beauty of AIM seems to me to be its emotionless decisions... The prevailing response may well be, why not?? why not add more information, it can't hurt...if thats what happens I can ignore the extra signals, and those that want to make the calls based on the TA can....it can work that way.... If TA (beyond the present 26 week MA) is added to Newport, I hope it would be on a separate screen, so that the present clean presentation is not affected....then those that want to look at the TA data could access it as they desired......and those of us who want to follow the AIM recommendations could do so without the clutter of extra data. Just my 2 shekels... Regards, Bud
