Thanks Robert, Yes, it's good to go back to the reason I started this thread. It was to pick companies with great historical growth presence over the last decade and attempt to buy them when they are terribly out of favor. Certainly if one looks at the stocks listed and goes back to March of 2000, one can see that the PIC strategy avoided a tremendous beating before starting its investing. AIM's proactive efforts will help contain whatever damage that might occur after the initial investment is made. The only "timing" involved with my list is that I have used the Friday closing price of the week the stock first gets listed as a #5 for timeliness. You guessed correctly a while back about these stocks disappearing and then reappearing from the HGS list. Molex is the most recent example. It dropped to a #5 and shortly thereafter was knocked off the HGS list. Now, I note it's back on again. Even Friday's closing indicated paper loss is modest compared to the major indexes this year. AIM's conservative methods have shown up as a reduced loss. A couple of the AIM/PIC accounts are now fully invested. Some are still cash heavy. I'll be updating the graphs for the web page soon. I'll make note here when they're ready. BEst regards, Tom
