Gordon, You're right that AIM is based on Lichello's book and your critique is accurate. However, I've found the AIM system to be the best to use for managing long term investments. I haven't tried everything and I know that writing covered calls has been successful for many, so I certainly can't compare it to that. I haven't learned how to write covered calls successfully, personally, yet. There's an AIM discussion group on SI and I'd commend it to your attention. The leader of our discussion group, Tom Veale, has a web site with a weekly letter and graphs of stocks and mutual funds with which he's used AIM over several years. It's really quite a conservative method of management. Due to a quirk I can't figure out, I can't give you the url of the thread here, but this is the exact name, so you can search for it, if you're interested: A.I.M Users Group Bulletin Board (no period after the "M" in "AIM"). At the top of the thread you'll find the url to the website. Linda
