Hi Again
Sorry but I didn't get the second message either.
Ever since I downloaded the most recent Windows
update I have had nothing else but trouble with
my e-mail.
I've been in contact with my ISP but the problem persists.
If you sent your replies as a reply, would you please
try sending them as new mail.
Sorry for all the inconvenience.
Thank you.
Hi Again
Sorry but I did not get your reply
Hi There:
As a matter interest, did you get the spreadsheet?
Tried to reply to your request but the format I used
won't work here, so i'm going to have to try something different.
The "PRE" to the left here did not work.
Unfortunately, this may take a while.

Hi Toofussy
Preliminary indications are that it will
not only tell you how much to buy and sell,
it will certainly fix the cash issue, but
at this point, at the expense of what?
Hopefully, with a few of us putting
the thing under a microscope and digging
for flaws, we will be able to move
this beyond an idea.
Hi Toofuzzy:
Please consider the following:
Invt 7500 75%
Cash 2500 25%
Start
Invt 7500 75%
Cash 2500 25%
Tot 10000
1St Review
Invt 9500 79%
Cash 2500 21%
Tot 12000
Re-balanced
invt 9000 75%
Cash 3000 25%
Therefore sell $500 to bring equation back to 75/25 split.
Hence share growth is possible.
HI TOOFUZZY
SORRY MY MESSAGE ENDED UP BEING ALL BUNCHED TOGETHER.
IT CERTAINLY WAS NOT THAT WAY BEFORE I SUBMITTED IT.
I WILL HAVE TO LOOK AT A DIFFERENT WAY OF PRESENTING IT
SO THE BUNCHING DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
HI TOOFUZZY
THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY. I HOPE OTHERS WILL DO LIKEWISE
PLEASE CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING:
ASSUME AN INVESTMENT ; $7500.00 75%
CASH 2500.00 25%
START 1ST REVIEW
INVESTMENT 7500 9500 PLEASE NOTE WE NO LONGER
CASH 2500 2500 HAVE A 75/25 SPLIT
TOTAL 10000 12000
RE-BALANCE
INVESTMENT 9000 75%
CASH 3000 25%
THEREFORE SELL $500 TO BRING THE EQUATION BACK INTO A 75/25 SPLIT
HOPE THIS CLEARS ANY CONFUSION.
Hi OAG:
Thank you so much for the info on buy-sell ratios.
With cash being such a problem in AIM, and since
AIM is really a re-balancing program, has any thought
ever been given to substituting the cash reserve for the
portfolio control?
Your thoughts,critique and ideas would be most welcomed.
HI OLDAIMGUY:
Thank you so much for the info.on safe sell.
From your many years of experience with
AIM, what would you say the buy sell ratio
has been for each of the following:
1. Overall:
2. Bull Market
3. Bear Market
Thank you.
Hi again Old Aim Guy:
Thank you again for the info on safe buy.
As a matter of interest, have you ever experimented
using the +/- 5 with Safe Sell ? If not may I ask why?
Thank you and have a great day.
Hi Old Aim Guy
Thank you so very much for the info
on safe buy safe sell.
By leaving the safe sell at zero, doesn't
that build your cash too quickly in
good markets? Have you ever tried a
a +5 on each sequential sell? If not
may I ask why?
Found your approach on the safe buy very
interesting. As a matter of interest what
was the highest you have ever got to?
Thank you once again
Hi Folks:
What is absolute highest you would set the safe buy & safe sell at?
Your comments would be greatly appreciated
Hi SFSecurity
I am new to AIM but when I saw the comments on SAFE, I thought about the VIX.
Given my limited experience with AIM, it is all a matter of trial and error
at this point
Weekly sounds reasonable.
To keep the adjustments to a reasonable level,you might want to consider adjusting the safe only when the VIX moves in multiples of 5?
Do you have a couple of files you could back test, preferably files that moved in opposite directions? If you are using a spreadsheet, I am sure the SAFE/VIX adjustment could be incorporated in the formula.
Thank you for your interest.
WHAT ABOUT ADJUSTING THE BUY/SELL SAFES ACCORDING TO THE MOVEMENT OF THE VIX?
Hi Again OldAIMGuy:
Great Idea! I have an old XP Laptop, but how and where do I get Newport?
Thanks a million.
Best regards.
Hi OldAIMGuy

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE

Hi OldAIMGuy:
Thank you so very much for the detailed reply to my query regarding PC incremental increases.
By increasing the PC from 50% to 100% of the system generated buys, would it not slow down the depletion and ballooning of cash or would it be tooo
slowly?
Your comments would be appreciated.
Best regards
I am new to AIM but I did note that when starting out the PC equal 100 % of shares x price whereas the addition of shares is only 50%. As Shakespeare would have said there seems to be something wrong in Denmark.
Could someone please explain.
I am new to AIM but I couldn't help but note that When starting out in AIM, Portfolio Control equals 100% of dollars invested,yet when you add shares only 50% of the value of the new shares is added to the Portfolio Control. Why the inconsistency?
