Hi Steve, Have you read Jack Park's writings on AIM? He spent quite a bit of time working on Portfolio Control tweaks. It might be a good point of reference. The furthest extreme was possibly in the MyWay program from the '80s. It was AIM after a fashion, but included the ability to have PC shrink with sell orders. This meant forced liquidation of the holding at some price extreme. You got to choose at what price you wanted "out" and it calculated the rate at which PC needed to be depleted. Interesting stuff, but again, the shortcoming was that eventually you were left with no shares of your best performer. That would have been a disaster with VTSS, for instance. Best regards, Tom
