Greg, I manage a certain number of my long term stocks with AIM, which is a system devised by Robert Lichello. Basically, you're supposed to keep a certain amount of cash when you start, and AIM "tells" you when to sell some of your shares and add to that cash fund and buy some more from that cash fund. You eventually reduce your average cost, increase your number of shares and it usually will beat buy-and-hold. Thing is I borrowed my cash funds from my AIM stocks to buy other stocks and then feel bad if I can't support the AIM stocks. I'm managing stocks like DIGI, VLSI, PIXR, along with the ones I mentioned, under AIM. I started to use AIM with VVUS, too, but had to stop. It wants me to buy over 1,000 shares of VVUS right now and I can't afford it. If I did have the cash, it probably would be a darned good idea to do it, though. Instead I'm weighing selling it altogether. Thanks for looking at the charts for me. If you notice GENZL bottoming, let me know? Linda
