AIM has done wonders Tom. We need a definite uptrend now because cash levels are depleted!!!Looking back to 1995 when you started the account, a BUY and HOLD looks like they would be just above even, or a few bucks above... But you show 35% plus with the AIM strategy from Newport. Great Work!!! I included your chart on my site for review in the BUY LOW/SELL HIGH page under the 9/12/98 comments. Thanks again for sharing your nice work. Jim investnbest.netmegs.com investnbest.netmegs.com

Hi Jim, That account was actually started in 1994. The 35% isn't that grand on a "time-value" basis at this point, but as you say, it's better than Mr. Buynhold would have done. That account was originally started with 80% invested and 20% in cash. This time around, AIM/Newport owns 38% more shares than when the account started. That should give AIM/Newport quite a head start if the market turns positive for these stocks. AIM/Newport invested about $26,000 in this fund just since January. The account started with a total value of $50,000 in '94, of which $10,000 was in cash at the start. The additional $16, 000 of cash was realized profits in the account. We've planted the seeds, now all we have to do is wait for the harvest!! Best regards, Tom
