Welcome back Linda.

I'm afraid you have to jog my memory a bit. Were you waiting for something specific?.
What I have done to-date:

AIM Calculator (Mac OS-X only)
MacStoXs (Mac OS-X only, no AIM component)
XIAM (Java, all-platform, contains AIM, but the complexity is not very well hidden, i.e. its a bit of a pain to use. In addition it does not handle proxies when fetching stock data)

I am currently re-designing MacStoXs (under a new name) in Java and want to add AIM components to it. Since I don't get much work done during the summer time (just lazy!), it will likely take at least until next winter before something usable comes out of this effort. There is a bit of a silver lining to this this project, as it seems that I will have some assistance this time around. That will probably push things a bit.

Hi Linda, Thanks for coming back now that you have the time. Hope all is well with you.

I've still not seen any news on ACG. The price would have to drop considerably more for me to free up some cash to buy more shares. That will happen some day, but only after the FED does some raising of interest rates. ACG and other income producers have been a solid foundation for my overall portfolio for over a decade and certainly did a good job of keeping my overall portf. from tumbling during the 2000-2003 period.

I've taken profits along the way with ACG to rebuild its own cash reserve levels. I believe the price/share would have to drop to below $7/share before the wallet would come out for some exercise.

Best regards, Tom
