Hi, Steve,

A thought for an LD-AIM implementation using Automatic Investor:

Couldn't one simply define one's position as say 10 X the number of shares and then just use 1/10th the AI buy and sell recommendations? Granted, it would make (ahem) your portfolio seem a lot larger than it is, but it would seem to me to be an easy way to leverage a virtual component.

In other words, if you buy 100 shares, enter it into AI as buying 1000 shares. I think the 10 X makes the results more intuitive than a more odd multiplier like 300 shares for the 100, though a 10 x magnification would have a serious impact.

Any thoughts - or comments from any other AI users?

Best,

AIMster
