Hi Tom, Great job on your most recent success. You sure do know how to pick them. My wife and I just returned from Burlington,vt. I discovered as of this past November Waterhouse had opened a local office. I finally opened an online account. I also had an opportunity to visit Fraser Publishing . It's a great spot to purchase out of print books. I didn't dare buy any as I had earlier visited Barnes & Noble and loaded up the cart. Regards to all on the board. Bob

Tom, Congratulations on VLSI. From your price graph, it's quite obvious that AIM only makes buys when the price is below the moving average, and only sells when the price is above the MA. Like you I got the urge to do some spring cleaning (I've got too many different stocks to manage effectively, spread over too many accounts). Unfortunately, I decided last week to sell off the VLSI I had in my trading account. While I had a nice 40% gain over 6 mo, it would have been nice to have a 100%+ gain this week. Then to add insult to injury, the VLSI in my IRA acct has a basis around $19. I'm not sure what happens to that batch of VLSI if Philips buys it @ 17.
