Hi Rob, Congratulations on seeing this one through. My own energy fund (VGENX) is up about the same amount since I started the account in February. Because I started it during a fairly high risk period, I had lots of cash in the account; therefore, instead of Sells, I've had two "vealies" in the last two weeks. I'm within $0.05 of the next Sell/vealie at this point. Thanks for updating the graphs. They look Marvelous!!! Sometimes we don't win as much with AIM as with other methods, but after a while we don't find any losers in our portfolio either! Sometimes winning all the games by a couple of points is better than only winning half the games by a shut-out and losing the rest!! ;-) Best regards, Tom

Hi Rob, I noted that you have built in a bias for Selling by keeping the Sell Resistance at 5%. Once you get close to fully funded with Cash Reserve, you may want to raise this value again. Sometimes when we've had a tough time like the last year it feels good to get the Selling going and rebuild the reserves quickly. Since your current Buy/Sell range is based upon the resistance levels from the past, just leave them alone until your cash levels come up a bit. Then, when it's time for a "vealie", just raise the Sell Resistance (SAFE) back to 10% for fatter profits. Best regards, Tom
