Hi Adam,

I played a bit with TCK using Google-Finance prices(adjusted).
Started at 15 Jan 2008 and bought 1000 shares of TCK at $33.15

Also added $33150 cash and started an inverted AIM machine.
Using standard parameters, buy and sell safe is 10%, minimum buy and sell is 5%. Evaluated once per month, so the next check date is 15 Feb 2008 etc.

On 15 Oct 2010 I sold my last share. At that moment cash was $161344 and share number was zero.

At that point in time you would have had options, reset the machine or use another stock or whatever. Just for fun I continued, did not reset parameters and waited for my first buy. That first buy came on 15 May 2012.

The last action was on 15 June 2016, cash was $75911 and there were 6214 shares.

During this period the lowest amount of cash held was $5452 on 15 Mar 2009. A recent low on 15 Feb 2016 was $15261.

So no parameters were changed during this run. Also one could add interest and maybe dividend, but I did not do that.

TCK is an interesting stock. Looking at where it is on the price curve, one could even start a machine now.

Best, K
