Hi Tom:

Thanks for your reply.

I don't mean the below to be as critical as it sounds.

One of the things I like about AIMing is the consistent rules that get rid of the emotion of investing. You react to the market instead of hoping the market does anything particular.

You set up the pick list with certain rules to follow. If you are going to add additional "rules" (close out account if 3-5 year expected growth less than 50%)I wish you would add them in the masthead of the investorhub PICKLIST thread and also on your website.

This is taken from your website:

>>>>>As more stocks from the VL Highest Growth Stocks list fall to Timeliness #5 they'll be added to this list. Should stocks get bumped off the Highest Growth Stocks list, they'll remain on the PIC list just to keep continuity and to give AIM a chance to manage the holding. (Note the list below shows whether they remain on HGS) These are candidates for study as possible investments. (Disclaimer - Some of the stocks shown are owned by me in my personal account.) They are usually very far out of favor when they are listed and well off their previous 52 week highs. As may be the case, they might just fall further before gaining back any of their previous glory. The worst case is that they'd be "delisted" by falling off the "Highest" list. Even so, these companies could well be managed with profitable results. Here's what Value Line does to compile their list of 100 growth stocks:<<<<<

As I understand the "rules"

1)Buy when on "highest growth list" and Timeliness #5
2)Sell when Timeliness #1
3)Keep AIMing if thrown off list

Nowhere in the paragraph from your site (above)does it say to sell if the expected growth is less than 50%

I know in the past that you threw a few other stocks(that weren't doing well) off the list, I believe for some other reason but I don't remember why off the top of my head.

Anyway I am just reqesting that the complete rules be posted.

Take the road less traveled. It will make all the difference.
