Hi Dave, I got a chance to upload the graphs of Vanguard Special Energy Fund (VGPMX) to the AIM web site. execpc.com Just this week it made its first buy in some time. This fund has both oil refiners, producers, oil service and other energy related stocks, so isn't as volatile as more specific sector funds. I also uploaded Computer Associates' (CA) graphs for everyones entertainment and amazement! It really got wholloped the other day. execpc.com After years of being a steady climber, CA seems to have become lost in the Rockies!!! Best regards, Tom

Dave, Thanks. This is a very nice thread. In classical math we have lines, planes, and solids and we call these objects being one dimensional, two dimensional, and three dimensional. In a branch of modern math, Fractals, we allow for fractional dimensions, such as 1.057, 1.136, or 1.294. A straight line has dimension 1.000. A line like a stock price chart has many wiggles. Its fracctal dimension is 1.xxx. A higher xxx value means more wiggles in the chart, or more up and down stock price movement. The AIM is not limited to cyclical stocks. When we want a list of up and down stocks, fractal dimensions may be useful. Julius
