Hi, The more I looked at the chart, the better it looked to me also. What I finally did was got MS investor and download a 1 yr weekly price history. (By the way, with the newest explorer and excel when you download a price history it automatically sets up an excel SS with column titles and everything when you download a history.)I was totally surprised. In any event I did my AIMing weekly which is more often than I personally do because that's the way you guys do it and came up with the following at the end of 52 weeks: Started with 775 shares at 12.9375 ($10,026.56), $5000 cash. Had total of 14 AIM based transactions at $12 (WH)Total $168. Went into negative cash of $1241.67 on 4/14/97. (Negative cash makes me uncomfortable) Added cash $1241.67 4/14/97. Ran out of cash later in program forgot to record when. Ended up 2/2/98 with net profit of 104.81. 1394 shares at 10.0625 and $2345.91 cash ($16373.04). My lame attempts at any kind of analysis say that it looks like it's ready for a comeback of some kind also. By the way, my biggest mistake in investing so far has been ATCT which I paid way too much for originally. I AIMd it and kept adding more and more cash to AIM program after cash ran out. When it went from 23+ to below 4 I decided enough was enough and got out at 4. Right now it is 1 and a few sixteenths. I decided after that experience that a discipline I had to add to AIM was "No more than one extra infusion of cash to a sinking ship no matter how good it looked". FYI I intend to do a little fundamental analysis on BOBJY myself. I would be very tempted to start an AIM program myself at about 9.5 Bernie P.S. Hopefully the extra 619 shares will be a big bonus when it does make its move. BTW if it went to 8 5/16 AIM would have me use all my cash and purchase an additional 283 shares that would really grease the wheels of AIM. Let's see!!! 1677 shares at $16 =$26832 or 35%profit NOT BAD!
