Hi LH, I guess the answer to that question has quite a bit to do with the individual equity. If you feel 1999 is going to be a good year for the stock/fund, then I'd suggest setting up your account with a slightly reduced Portfolio Control. Then let AIM be your guide to building your cash reserve. I would suggest using 90% of the current equity value as Portfolio Control. This will "trick" AIM into thinking that you are nearing a Sell Market Order. It effectively shifts the "Hold Zone" down. ( execpc.com ) By doing so, you'll start selling much sooner than buying. Since you are at a break-even point, all these first sells should be profitable. Each successive sell will be that much more profitable and this is a nice way to build cash. If you don't feel comfortable about the stock for 1999, then selling some portion of it now makes some sense. If you're not feeling comforable about it, however, maybe you should think about whether it is compatable with AIM and meets your long term objectives. You don't want to give your Equity Warehouse Manager (AIM) crummy inventory to manage! Hope this helps, Tom
