Here's some recent week's NASDAQ Advance/Decline values for all to ponder: Date Advances Declines Total IssuesTraded Nasdaq Comp. 6/29 2732 2404 5798 1869 7/6 2644 2411 5742 1894 7/13 2425 2741 5785 1943 7/20 2584 2570 5792 2008.76 7/27 1539 3688 5774 1931 8/3 1481 3713 5780 1872 8/10 1597 3642 5775 1846 8/17 1566 3645 5753 1790 8/24 1718 3427 5737 1797 8/31 705 4648 5746 1639 9/7 1464 3807 5717 1566 9/14 2658 2388 5639 1641 We'll see how the numbers turn out for this week. The last two weeks show a bit of firming up, so maybe the worst is over. The brokers have certainly made a bundle trading all the shares that have changed hands recently! Best regards, Tom

You can call it my "World of Contradiction"!! The ACM and Wave are two entirely different approaches to investing. Sometimes, however it seems to be similiar, yet other times completely opposite. It is gear toward "momemtum" in the market where AIM is gear toward selection and volatility. As I have repeated for years on the boards. there are many ways to make money in the market...You just have to find a program you are comfortable with. The ACM is calling for 25% cash levels at this time. The TVR which I show on my members edition is going to change this week to 22% cash. This is based on Lichello 66/33 plan. I calculate this by taking the latest DOW high closing of 9338 times 66= my multiplier for this period. That is 6163. Therefore if you divide the CURRENT DOW into the multiplier you will get what your equity position should be . At the close this week it will read 22%. At the lowest Drop in the DOW this past month, one would have been invested 80% in the market. I guess the bottom line, risk is less when making a purchase with AIM compared to mid July. However the ACM is still considering the overall Market "high risk" (without AIM)..because there is a potential to lose money... sorry for the contradictions....but the market is full of contradictions.....
