Hi Ray, Similar to you I wish I had actually read the book when I bought it back in 2002! Oh, well.

So on with the show. At

investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=88614114

there is a bunch of information to check out. Also at

http://web.archive.org/web/20120609073103id_/http://www.aim-users.com/calculator.htm

there is an online calculator for your buy/sell calculations.

Then at

there are a bunch of spreadsheets and other info about AIM, Syncrovest and Twinvest that are worth spending some time with.

I suggest that you look at Tom's (OldAIMGuy) profile at

Tom has been very generous in helping a number of us who are new/newish since I came on the board last September.

I have found it quite useful to just read old posts to get a handle on a variety of issues/problems as I stumble upon them.

The one thing I'd suggest is that you stick with the basic hand calculations for a bit to get the process drilled into your brain, then check out the variations, LD-AIM, AIM-HI, delayed buys/sells, etc.

Then ask questions as they occur. You'll get lots of help here.

An additional tip is to look at ETFs that pay a dividend as a starting point. I'm finding better overall results happen that way. Mostly I've looked at things by backtesting but of the couple of AIM positions I have the one that has a dividend above historical inflation is doing better than the two which either don't have a dividend or a low dividend.

Time spent backtesting is very worthwhile.



Best,

Allen
