Hi Bud, I would like to make a suggestion. Take a look at a graph of UOPIX. In particular notice the period from July '99 to March of 2000 after the split the price soared from 39.90 to 128. That's about 330% in 9 months. Today it sits at 24.76. That's a decline of about 80%. HORRORS!!! For people who have been using AIM correctly, it doesn't have to go all the way back to where it was in March it really only has to get back to where it was in December '99 to make them even. If they have been AIMing for any period of time on this one, even is way ahead.

Hi Bud, Here is the UOPIX post. Message 15116992 I've re-configured my AIM account by dropping the Portfolio Control level quite a bit. I would have needed to see about $61/share for AIM to trigger a Sell. Reducing PC allows me to "restart" AIM at a lower level. Now, I'll be selling my "Last In" shares at about $41.00. This will be a profitable LIFO transaction and will also be at a point that the account is about 43% profits overall. $41 is a long way off, but this is a long term investment. I'm only pointing this out because I plan to try this with VNWK. As you mentioned, there is no tax advantage to selling at a loss in an IRA. So I might as well experiment with this puppy and see if I can generate some AIM trades to bring it back to profitability. Already I can see that I could have made two trades that would have doubled in the last month. That would have added to the bottom line for sure. clearstation.com I would only consider this move on a drastic drop of 75% or more. FWIW Keith
