Hi Guys, The response to get a Free copy of the AIM program has been enormous. I had over 75 people request a copy. Wow! Did not think there were that many people interested. I hope it serves you all well and produces the results you are after. If you see any bugs or things that can be improved please drop me a message or post it here. I am not shy to discuss it here. I have split the list into three sublists to keep the number of names in the mail message to a reasonable level. I have also, sent an old copy of pkunzip.exe program for those folks who are having trouble extracting the AIM files. Thats all for now, hope to hear from you all soon. Enjoy, Ben

Hi TC, You've read my harping about "buying power" and AIM before, so you already know that old song. But, after a couple of nasty days in the market place, doesn't all that Cash Reserve feel nice and cozy??? I've been buying as AIM calls out for more shares to be added to inventory. I'm only surprised by how LITTLE I've bought so far! In the 1987 decline, I was amazed at AIM's reserve in the face of a tremendous market decline. It bought some stock in late October, bought more in November, and emptied its wallet, pockets, money belt, check book and looked for small change behing the sofa by early December!! It spent the most money at the Bottom and the least in the first part of the decline. AIM's one heck of a fine Purchasing Agent!!! December of 1987 was the last time I was 100% invested. AIM's kept my cash reserve in tune with the market ever since. 1990 my cash reserve was drawn down to about 15% overall from being around 40% mid summer. Since then, only the tech stock "crash" of 1995 has brought my overall cash reserve under about 30%. Before last week, it was again at about 39% to 40% overall. Looks like it's time to recycle some of those greenbacks again! AIM's a proportional control algorithm that reacts in proportion to the market's move. It has as its driving force 20/20 Hindsight rather than some 50/50 guess about the future. It's only under times of severe market stress that this becomes really apparent. Thank you Mr. Lichello, wherever you are!!! Best regards, Tom Veale execpc.com (AIM Users Group Pages)
