Nearly empty ATTIC
this week. Only one system generated buy and sell in 4 days. Soldout of a position but that doesn't count.
Hi Jack,
I just asked Mark over on his board,,, where are we if something happens to him? As aimster said, with a great piece of software that won't work. I asked if there was a better or different way? Ken
Hi Mark,
Not really sure how the whole thing works, but Aimster asked a great question on the AIM board today. Where are we when something happens to you? Without you our software doesn't work. AI contains all my current records. Is there another or better way? Ken
Hi Aimster,
Glad to see AI back up so I could update today. Not much to say though, its been slow this week. Ken
Hi Aimster,
I emailed him too, switch seems to be back on,, its where all my records are currently,, Ken
Hi Jack,
yes its up and running again. Thanks, Ken
Hi Aimster,
Is your AI working? Is that license server thingy down again? I can't even get in mine. Ken
AI Help Please,
AI not working,
Hey Mark, keeps asking me to register, of course I did that 3 months ago,, then says no internet,, oh ya then how am I sending this to you? Then says error and closes on the ok button,,,, so what's up? Help! Ken
Just posted that on his board, anyone else with this problem too? Any suggestions? Thanks, Ken

Hi Steve,
Congrats on that sell. I don't post all my trades either. I did close out on Etrade(ETFC) today and took a larger stake in EGOV. But it wasn't a program related sell or buy, just changing horses. Ken
Big sell
on Etrade today put me back to 76.46% cash. I see it fell all the way back to $5.01. I'm looking around for another
horse to ride right now. I might be in a good spot with $100 oil
out on the table now. Ken
Hi Steve,
They got it fixed.
Hi Matt, Help
I had a pic on my signature, it was removed and I got this message,,, ///Please, do not put sounds in signatures and keep images as small as possible. No racy/sexual/scantily-clad pictures. No mention of specific stocks or links to stock specific boards. No links off the site. No solicitation. And finally, no political or religious images/text. Thanks.///// My pic was too large and I apologize for that. I'm a little puter challenged here at times so I'll do my best. I did download that resizer thingy so I can keep pics to 68k or under from now on. I had a closeup pic of my mint Pioneer SX-1080 Receiver Watt Meters,, any thing wrong with that pic? Just a pic, it didn't play music or anything,, can I use it? Also the upload link is gone/ dead so I guess I won't do anything if you don't want me too. Thanks, best regards, Ken
Hi Sam,
52.65% cash here after today's close. Nothin happening in Extended Hours so far.
Hi Sam,
How low is your cash % ? Ken
Hi Sam,
5.02% is fantastic for a parking place last year. No sells here even though the market was up. Once again I own the wrong non participating stocks :) I did come within 4 cents of one. Down in extended hours, so not looking good, Ken
Hi Jack,
Congrats on the program buy. 3 minutes left and I've missed a sell by 2 cents and a buy by one penny. Fishing pole out for Extended Hours. Ken
Hi Sam,
idle cash at Etrade is getting 4.1% in the complete savings acct,, easy switch to brokerage,, just hit the button. Ken
Hi Sam,
I had one sell this morning, followed by 3 buys this afternoon. Restocking the backroom for more sales I hope.
Hi Slow,
thanks for the update. Plan your trade and Trade your plan. Looks like system is working well. Ken
Hey Sam,
throw me one of those money bags, I got a son
in kollege skool :) Ken
Hi Byron,
Aimster probably forgot more about investing than I ever knew. He will make you think, and that's a good thing. Ken
Hi Sam, Congrats
on that sale. That my friend is a Grand Slam! I'd like to thank you in public for providing liquidity on Jan 17th when that shipper's stock needed you the most,,,, and also for parting with some of those shares to those greedy folks that insisted on buying them from you. Good Job , Ken
Hi Byron,
welcome aboard the AIM ship. Tom has the best board on Ihub. Everyone listed up there with him are some of the best. We all want you to beat the averages over the long haul and with less risk. Aimster gives great advise. Read, read, read this site and its links. As toofuzzy says, learn the system by hand too, by paper and pencil, so you understand it in your sleep. Best always, Ken
I got
home so late today I didn't get to place that order for Extended Hours. Looks like the fish weren't biting though. Not a bad idea if your only within pennies of a strike price. Angling your way, Ken
Hi Steve,
Its wild for sure. I had three large sells today, no buys, bringing me back to 30% stock and 70% cash. I'm alot more comfortable than 2 or 3 days ago. Cash burn was getting me worried with my new ATTIC system. Coming out on the winning end(selling) sure makes one feel good. Is this fun or what? Ken
Extended Hours,
Didn't catch any fish with my for-sale pole in the water but ya just never know. Ken
Nice Trades
you both had there. I had 2 sells today bringing me back to 52/48. We made need that cash to provide liquidity tomorrow. Ken
Past 2 days,
6 buys and 2 sells in the portfolio, 64% stock and 36% cash as of start today. 4 buy orders in and 2 sells for the open, we'll see if any trip an execution. Ken
Busy Day,
I like it. Ken
Hi Tom, Re: No Statement Yet
I was going to load in my new TurboTax but my 07 tax statement is not ready to download yet,,, so I'm still waiting too. Toof needs to wake up and get on the ball and get this stuff done :) Ken
Hi Jack, IAG
Did the price trip your buy order on Fri? Buying is the work,,, selling is the fun :) Ken
Hi Steve,
I agree with you. No way has MSFT played or offered their last offer yet. A 20% premium on last yrs high would be $40-41. Hang in there for more $$$ to come. Ken
Hi Jack,,, ATTIC
I've named my new goofy little system ATTIC. All 5 of my holdings are in a portfolio of that name. I haven't set my parameters in concrete yet, but tried to keep flexible as condtions changed. I do have a goal. It's a 25% return by 12/3/08 while only having 25% avg exposure rate. Lofty, you bet, stupid? ,, maybe,, but I'm on my way to blow out that 25% gain, its the exposure I need to work on a little more. Ken
Hi Tom,
Yes you have to be fair. If its fair that we get charged for re-stock fees on special orders at the parts houses, its only fair that you can do the same. Nice trade, take some of that money off the table on these run ups. The bear is still lurking. Oh, we did go thru 1365 SP today,,,, 1394 last I looked in the last 1/2 hr or so,,, I'd say that's a positive going forward,, Ken
Update 12/03/07 - 02/01/2008
2 Month Results -----> Simple Return = 8.19%, ROCAR = 21.50%, Avg. at Risk 38.12%, 39% Stock, 61% Cash, 26 Buys, 22 Sells, Jan NPD = 6, Jan NPD% = 28%, 5 stocks used are QQQQ, ETFC, NITE, XLF, EGOV
Congrats Steve,
You've hit it over the buildings on Waveland Ave(Cubs). The left fielder never even turned and went back to the wall. Ken
Hi Al,
good questions. Very good. I assume the mortgage holder is paying the taxes. Or the Sherrif will seize the property. Sherrif selling about 25 per month here, that's down from 35 a year ago,,,,, but not sure how that is to historic norm. Ken
Hi Tom,
Did you explain to those nice folks your return policy? Usually a 20% discount fee for all cash returns. I'm working on my 2 month update. Ken
A big
buy today followed by a much smaller sell. What a crazy day. I'm off early tomorrow, maybe I can catch the last hour or so live.
