Hi TooFuzzy

Google Altman Z score for the definition. The Higher the number, the less likely the company is to go bankrupt. I get my numbers from a paid site that provides stocks to sell covered calls on.

Like I mentioned before, I have had two stocks go belly up on me, but that was pre internet and knowing about numbers like the Z score. Google, Z score SLW or any ... stock.

AltZ > 3.0 Bankruptcy not likely
1.8 < AltZ < 3.0 Bankruptcy possible
AltZ < 1.8 Bankruptcy likely

My preferred choice to AIM, like yourself are ETFs, but sometimes there are some stocks that are just worth the risk.

Regards,
Ray
