Tom, thanks for the encouraging BSX chart. Although I am running low on cash, the stock leverage reflected by my share counts is running around 50-80% higher than when I started the portfolio's. Being a rookie, I did heed Bernie's admonitions to avoid trading too frequently, especially after the first couple of months where I was buying much too often. I have to confess that I have not yet forced myself into a rigorous once a month discipline, but I have insisted on no more than once a week, and a high premium on any buys until more time has passed.

Proof of the pudding will be if we can get a solid rally in the markets and get a bit of replenishment of the 'ol honey jar!

Hi Tom: RE: Boston Scientific

How do you decide it is OK to use money from another account as apposed to just waiting for the stock to climb and AIM letting you trade again.(let alone cutting your losses and selling the stock)

How do you decide you are not dealing with an Enron, worldcom, etc and that you should pull the plug instead and just sell everything?

My own feeling is that if the account was a VERY small percentage of your total holdings than you could afford to use the cash from another account but it increases your risk and potential loss. I would be more willing to go negative in a mutual fund or ETF.

Just wondering what your thought process was.

Did you AIM Worldcom? How did you decide what to do with that?

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