Tom,

I've just about decided to trade my GALTF shares using AIM, but I'm wondering how to convert the existing trades into an AIM spreadsheet. My experience is using the spreadsheet on paper trading of new positions where a fixed amount of money is used in the initial trade and all trades are used off of that basis.

Can I just take the average cost of the shares + cash reserve as my starting point, or is there some other method which would lead to more accurate results?

BTW, Does anyone know what the symbol of the new technology index is? I heard about it on CNBC this afternoon. Supposed to be the 80 technology stocks in the S&P. Might be worth a look as this might be a way to AIM technology stocks with a relatively low expense ratio, low turnover, and reasonably high volatility with less company risk.

Dave

Hi John, Not Excel, but an ancient Lotus 123 DOS template for AIM that I modified. Bob Norman and I created that template over a decade ago! Still works.

Best regards, Tom
