Hi Bill, Just when I thought I was getting caught up....... I just yesterday put your address up at the AIM web site under the AIM Software info and now I guess I'll have to go back and add something about the new "Fundsystem" for DCA, TwinVest and VCA. My brother helped many of his clients move money from maturing CD's to mutual funds using a modified TwinVest for a limited period. He used the name TermVest for it. If the client was unhappy about plunking $100,000 into a mutual all at once, he would suggest that they phase it into the fund over a 12 month period. It was still TwinVest, but with just 12 additions to make the total. It worked just fine and at the end of a year, the account was then ready to be managed by AIM, since it had a ready Cash Reserve available. It reacted to any market swings that came along and gave my brother's clients great comfort. Speaking of comfort, did you take a look at my now fully invested VLSI account? I noted that you use it as an example at your site. What you see in my account is the results of being invested in a massively volatile stock over a period of 8 years. As Mr. L likes to remind us, being 100% invested means we've been good shoppers and we should be happy! I'll be much happier when the Semi market decides to value my VLSI shares at the same Price/Book Value as INTC or LU!!! Bill, I know others here appreciate your hard work as much as I do. Thanks for your contributions. Best regards, Tom
