Hi Jim, I guess this is "OT"... I thought you were the author, but maybe it was Huck Finn.<ggg> It's a sensible quote either way. Ole fisherman understand... Our club is an un official AIM (Automatic Investment Management) Chapter, we discuss different aspects of the market once a month for a couple of hours. We do not invest as a group but try to concentrate on improving or limiting our risk in the market individually. How did it start? Thxs for asking. I believe it was my desire to find a Risk/Reward system that I was comfortable with, then it became the need to share it with others so they could save me from myself. Sort of a Cub Scout learning thing if you know what I mean. wing it? That's another valid point. Do you ever not "Wing It"? I know there are as many truth's as non truth's to the market. For every system that is a hero today it is hell tomorrow! That's why I like the Risk Management value of AIM. I do not come here to preach AIM. You folks have a very respectable Thread and I recommend that the members of our club follow and read it. Always, read read read and think!!! What are your current holdings and do you have rules or some guidelines to invest by I don't have the info on this PC, but probably about 20 holdings at present. Mostly Tech, but some others like BUD and CCL, with AIM we prefer the volatility. The rules are simple, take a core position, buy and sell around it. I have six young guest coming Thursday night. I told one inquisitive fellow the following: There is no magic to AIM, there are many Risk Management Systems. I've made money and I've lost money with AIM as my guide, but I'm positive overall. There is a price for education, unfortunately few graduate. If you make graduation you can manage risk in any area for the rest of your life. Stay with it. FWIW Keith
