Hello AIM Board,

Haven't read or posted in awhile so thought I'd come back. I've been working with my PCA program today. I was in RYTNX for awhile,, Tom actually told me to be careful and let him know how it went. Well as you can imagine in a SP500 x 2 fund I of course ran out of cash,,, way to fast at that,, I've been cashed out for about 9 months now and started taking the time to see what went wrong and why? After much study with my PCA program its clear 50/50 was way too aggressive for RYTNX,,,, In fact the optimum would have been about 10% stock/ 90% cash,,, this was run from June 2000 until today,,,,,,, RYTNX, and funds like it certainly provide the volatility needed to put AIM to its best use. At 10/90 RYTNX would of had a 7% return with a near 65% loss in stock price,, current position would have been 72 % stock and 28 % cash. Tough place to start at 10/90! The key here is obvious,, DON't run out of cash!! Lots has gone on here since then, I do have a little home run going on with a bulletin board stock, I plan on re-running in RYTNX when I sell out.
