Hi Mark,
Your explanation of reporting features explained some things aabout Automatic Investor that I hadn't realized.
Tell me this can you change the minimum investment parameter after initiating an AIM program without changing all the preceding entries? Is it possible to add cash to an already established AIM program?
Bernie

Mark, thanks for the two features on Automatic Investor. The following are my experiences with both.

1. The historical analysis feature was very helpful. I developed a spread sheet and used the program's analysis results to check if my entries were correct. I eventually got "close enough" as the differences may have been in rounding.

I would have preferred to print the AIM historical analysis as it appears on the screen with all nine columns. I would very much like to review it again and again as you stated. However, when saving it to file and printing, the result is a text version without the important portfolio control number. I wish this printed out like the IBM example but with all the columns. That would be great for us "new learner" types.

2. I assume you are talking about the main panel, making sample entries and then transferring the entries, account status results and recommendations to a spread sheet?

Thanks Mark. I can't tell you how much I appreciate yours and others help with learning this AIM process. I noted there are others going through the same learning experience. We all seem to be willing to do the due diligence, use the process and then follow the example you and others are doing in helping the next group of new people.
