Hi Everyone on this LAST(?) day of counting.(LOL) I have some Newport questions which I need help on. 1. I have set up a Newport account, but made a mistake on the number of shares. When I go into maintenance and correct the number, the program warns me that unless this is a split or dividend I should make a trade instead. What is the best way to correct a mistake and what happens if I just change the number vs. making a trade? 2. I have 2 portfolios with the same 3 Mutual Funds - since one is a Regular IRA and the other is a Roth IRA I want to keep them separate in Newport. Does anyone disagree? I understand if I keep them in separate Newport accounts I have to install Newport in separate directories. Correct? Since there are 3 Funds which are duplicated in two Brokerage portfolios, in Newport a) do I set up 6 accounts (one for each fund in each portfolio) b) do I set up 3 accounts (one for each fund combining the two portfolios) c) do I set up two accounts with 3 funds each (one for each portfolio containing the funds that are in each)? 3. When I set up a new security in Newport it wants to know how much cash I have in reserve (the dollar amount not the percentage) Do I enter the actual amount of cash in the portfolio which is zero because all the funds in the portfolio are invested and I actually do not have any cash reserve OR do I calculate what the cash reserve should be based on the AIM reserve percentage and enter that number? Thanks in advance, Larry M

Hi LH, I've not yet let my 13 year old near my computer at work with the DSL line. So, instead, she's been tying up all sorts of memory and time on the computer D/Ling and U/Lind music with Napster. I think it's a different world we're forming. Maybe it would be fun to take a look in the high tech catalogs that are piling up around here. Best regards, Tom

Keith, There for awhile this summer, we were afire with discussions of AIM 2001 Clan Gathering. Now it seems that the flames have gone out, and the ashes are cold. Did we get to a decision? If not, should we revive the discussions? If its Vegas in May w/Money Show, I'm there by myself. If its some event in Jan-April, I'll be at work, unable to attend. If it is some other time, some other place, depending on expense, both my wife and I will be there (Sandals is TOO much) Robert Mr AIM Aggressive - Feeling LOTS of PAIN

Hi Keith; Apparently the MP3 technology is amazing.....good for you to get involved.... Wasn't, or isn't there some litigation under way to stop the free access of music from the net?? I heard something about it, but not if its resolved. I followed your turkey recipies and cooking techniques.....fortunately I was able to avoid turkey entirely...since the kids had dinner with their in-laws, Dee and I were free, so I took her out to dinner.....and I had blackened halibut which I liberally doused with Tabasco......now that was a fine meal! Regards, Bud
