Mark, I don't know the answer just giving you food for thought. Tom has fund info on the BB and posts the results of the funds he is involved with. I have three funds of which two have just done great, but I believe if I had AIMed with them they would have done much better. I am doing that now. Are they more expensive? Maybe, I don't pay commissions but I do pay those C-gains... But I rather to pay taxes than to hold loosers. Which ones to pick? There are many more loosers than winners, but I believe the folks on this thread can help you find some of the best. Good luck to your AIMing, Glad to have you with us. Keith (Mexican quick step tonight, got to run...)

Take a look at this family of funds. firsthandfunds.com Specifically this fund for AIM purposes. firsthandfunds.com From the site: The Technology Innovators Fund ("TIF", ticker symbol TIFQX) invests in securities of companies in the electronics industry which we consider to be best positioned to introduce successful new products. We think of this as our "Up and Comers" technology fund. Key sectors include semiconductors and related equipment, software, communications and networking equipment, and electronic design automation. While the Fund's investments are not restricted by market capitalization, they tend toward newer, smaller companies which are likely to have a mid or small capitalization. It was up 97% in Q4. Not bad considering the draw down was 20% from the initial investment. This is the only fund I've seen that publishes it's holdings on a one month delayed basis. ---- Dave
