Tom, Bernie: Thanks for the heads up on ALD and all of the REIT's and ETF's. I started an LD-AIM program yesterday on ALD. 125 actuals shares purchased. 335 Virtual Shares purchased.

Settings using the spreadsheet are:
- Cash Available: $10,000
- Initial Purchase Price: $21.75
- Sell Side: 5, 5%, 6.15%, $500
- Buy Side: 5, 5%, 5%, $500

Outputs include:
- Capital @ Risk: $2,719
- Cash Reserve: $2,352
- % Down Payment: 50.7%
- $ Available for next AIM program: $4,929

Basically I will now be able to diversify more by starting my AIM programs using the Low Down method. I still think AIM-ing individual issues will get more 'action' than in ETF's or standard Mutual Funds. I've already reduced my risk exposure by one half using LD-AIM.

Feedback on the (Beta) spreadsheet is still requested.

Regards, Steve
