Tom, You know, one of the best things you have added to AIM is the concept of Vealies, but after pondering it for a while, I can't help think that you might be applying Vealies in the wrong part of the AIM buying mechanism. You seem to rebuild the cash level first, then pull Vealies. Have you ever looked at allowing the cash level to be low and pull a vealie or two on the way up and rebuilding the cash in the later part of the upcycle? Take a look at JBL. You correctly bought JBL during the collapse only to sell the shares in the low $30's to rebuild the cash. Have you ever considered doing a vealie the first sell signal after a purchase, then letting AIM go on as normal? Just thinking off the top of my head. If the underlying tone of the market is positive it just seems like you should allow your profits to run a bit before you start to sell. ---- Dave
