Nah, This is the BB (Big Boys locker room), not the "Lets get to Know Our Feelings Thread". It's a great discussion and at a very good time. All the posts on the subject are good. FWIW Keith

Hello Tom, Nope, no offense taken. I've always viewed you as being passionate about AIM and putting forth your ideas to better the AIM world -- not for attacking others' point of view. And that's how I read your previous post. As I mentioned in my previous post, your method can be superior in some instances just as Bernie's can be superior in other instances. My point is that from a strictly logical perspective, what you suggest should not be limited to only people who have lost money. If it consistently works better than Bernie's method, it should be used by people starting an AIM account with any good stock that has declined significantly in the time period immediately preceding the start of a new AIM account. And it's equivalent to starting an AIM portfolio with a different PC and cash/equity ratio (which, as you know, I'm certainly not adverse to doing if it works). However once you start down that road, there are so many other variations that it makes my head spin just thinking about them. And I do have some good reasons for leaning towards Bernie's method. I'd like to expand on the running discussion between you and Bernie, but unfortunately I'm out of time at the moment -- so I'll post more details in the near future. regards, mark.
