Tom et al., I have managed to squeeze in the AIM book and almost finished it. Due to personal taxation reasons, I will only be able to use it for my 401K account. I currently have my 401K managed by Fidelity and one other small outfit. The reason I did not dare to manage my own 401K until now is my reckless investment style, which I expect to continue on the non-401K money. My reasoning was that in the worse case when I managed to zero out my after-tax money, I still have something to fall back on in my old age. My plan now is to consolidate two small 401K accounts of about $25K into a 401K at my broker or mutual fund to test out my discipline first. If I do well in following AIM from a discipline viewpoint and hopefully also from a result viewpoint, I will consolidate everything into that account a year or two hence. How many stocks should I diversify in with about $25K? Thanks so much for everyone's help so far. -Al

Tom and All: I just received my Newport program and had a couple of questions. I have accumulated shares for a couple of years now (TWCUX) and around the 5th of Jan I coverted 30 % to cash, do I use the Jan 5th price or todays to start the program? This is a 401K and there are no limits on trades I wanted to limit trades to once a month or less so do I update prices weekly? I am using your advice with a Buy Safe at 0.0% and Sell safe of 10%. I also have access to a US Treasury fund or several Bond funds, would that be better than a cash fund yeilding 4.5%? I hope you I didn't ask to many questions. Thanks for all the help : Ray Jahn (a Newbee)
