Hi Bernie
"Underwent surgery which seems to have been totally successful. The last test showed zero signs of the big C."
It's really good to hear from you and that's great news. My father-in-law had the same thing when he was 55 so he retired early to enjoy life, well he is now 78 and going strong.
This group is a bit adventurous with there AIMing but I understand the need to try and improve AIM trouble is you never know when its a bear or bull market.
I'm a blackjak player and over the many years you learn the most important part of the game is money management and of course making the proper plays. I play perfect statistically and it doesn't matter whether you have a $5 bet of a $1000 bet you always hit that 16 against a dealers 10, unless you are lucky enough to find a game with surrender. That's the discipline part of the game.
That is also what I have learned about AIM. Money management is very important. If you run out of $$ too quick you are out of the game. If you have pulled too many vealies(without building the proper cash reserve) you will run out of money on the down side. And you must have the discipline to stick to your program rules. The one rule I now live by is that on the buy side all trades are at least 30 days apart. Right now AIM wants me to buy some AOL and CREE but I must wait until May 10th so I will wait. On the Sell side I will sell as often as AIM wishes.
May health be with you.
