Hi Byculla,

"You mentioned that you were going to upgrade AI with VSS algorithms. I would have waited for that but the track history is not too good."

I take it you mean the delay in getting PI 3.0 done? If so, then you are correct. I have no scheduled release date for a new AI (other than I plan to do it) and I would think it will be done later rather than sooner (however when the upgrade is done, it will be far better than AI 3.0 -- which I believe is already the best AIM software available).

"At the same time I am reluctant to invest in partially overlapping tools"

I understand your point. If it will help, I'd be willing to give you $147 off VSS 4.0 if you purchase AI 3.0 before November 11, 2010. So you'd pay $50 for VSS 4.0 instead of the $197 price.

To take advantage of this, just purchase AI 3.0 and VSS 4.0 before November 11, 2010 and then email me. I'll immediately credit $147 back to your credit card for VSS.

And to be fair, I'll leave this offer open to anyone who wants to take advantage of it until Nov. 11, 2010.

"Buying put and call leaps could be a profitable strategy dependant upon % of correct stock forcasts"

I'm actually looking at a strategy that mainly involves selling puts for use with AI (but buying calls is also a possibility). BTW, there are LEAPS longer than 2 years (e.g. 30 months) for some stocks.

"When I finish my present stack of books (4) I intend to purchase your PI book to see what your PI software is all about."

After you read the book, you'll have enough information to implement the PI strategy on your own (without the software). So if you're inclined that way, you actually don't have to wait for the PI software.
