Hi DLL, Don't know the company. I'll take a look. Since you are comfortable with the company and already own some shares, AIM would be happy to manage it for you. Keep in mind that the percentage lost from a peak to a bottom is about equal to the percentage of Cash Reserve you will need near the top of the market. So if SUBX fell 50% from a previous high to its October lows, then you would have needed about 50% Cash Reserve last summer. The Idiot Wave was suggesting about 54% Cash Reserve last summer, so if you'd been able to sell to that level, AIM probably would have endured the dive to 1/2 price. Best regards, Tom

Dear DLL, If you feel comfortable with any stock, especially if you have a "feel" for it, there is absolutely no reason not to apply the AIM investment strategy. As Tom and Dataminer both responded, over the long term AIM would do very well as long as you stuck to the system. Everyone is different when faced with fear and greed. I sure had some sweaty times when I first started using AIM, but I'm much more comfortable with it now. It took a good year, however. And, yes, I like to pick AIM stocks like a technician, by observing their past performance on a chart. My introduction to charting was in the commodities market, so I just love volatility! Good luck and keep AIMing! Sincerely, RFH
