You can also use Chapter 15 "Twinvest" to get to your initial amount for AIM. With Twinvest you are accumulating shares and cash over time, so you just need to throw the switch and start AIM once your seed capital has accumulated.
Hi 3vis, Given your short supply of money to start with perhaps you should consider using Twinvest or Synchrovest to start with so you can build up your available funds.
Twinvest in in the AIM book and lostcowboy has a spreadsheet for Synchrovest and some info on how to use it. I don't have the link for his stuff handy, sorry, but I do have a copy of it if you'd like. Drop me a note at 60e20f21@opayq.com and I'll send it to you.
