AIM...THE BIG PICTURE. .... The "Big Picture" is a weekly report on the AIM MANAGEMENT SYSTEM of the global markets. It evlauates what sectors offers the BEST BUYS and which ones are ready to give off PROFITS. This is an approach that I developed which takes AIM one step beyond just the selection process of choosing the best funds and stocks but what is the most discipline appproach in making important decisions in buying and selling of these funds and stocks. This week, AIM is recommending taking some profits in the FINANCE stocks and funds. Anyone holding funds for the past several weeks should have nice gains. AIM will in a structured format ask you to SELL a portion for PROFIT eliminating you from making that hard decision. AIM decisions are totally based on matematical calculations and has no love for any fund or stock. AIM just loves to buy LOW and SELL for PROFITS higher. We have been doing just that since March of this year. The FINANCE group as I have reported many times are the best performing group that I monitor for 1997. A BUY and HOLD approach would have returned a 28.2% on holding the average FINANCE fund since March 9 th when this system was statred. AIM's return is 21% but is holding 44% cash and is poised to add when the time is right. AIM has had 5 PROFITS SELLS in the FINANCE group since march. AIM perfers a more volatile approach, and will lag a BUY and HOLD in a BULL market but the RISK MANAGEMENT is just AWESOME. If you are holding FINANCE funds and stocks and have done so for the past 6 months are so, you should be congratulated. Have a great week. Jim

>>>Jim, that is a good move. My Star Signal has just given a new buy in the Finance area this past week. However the FINANCE group has been in the INVEST N BEST portfolio all year as it has been the best performer all year. FSRBX was purchased in the INB Portfolio 156 days ago and has a 15.6% return. That equals to a 40.27% annualized return. Isn't life grand. James, Retailing group has been a excellent performer also and is highlighted in many of my signal files . FSRPX is up 5.8% in the past 24 days which annualized to over 128% . I will probally be reporting my signals and returns more often so people can follow the funds they like. I offer everyone the best info available in funds without all the propaganda. I try to keep it simple and..and show people how they can get 30-40 % return each year by INVESTING in the BEST.<<< ************************************** Jim: I've also had my eye on the Retailing group... The Emerging Markets and Prescious Metals are also looking very interesting... Your SI thread has been of invaluable assistance... Keep up the good work... Jim
