Hi EIK, Re: Graphs and software.............
Good to have another AIMer on board! Thanks for posting.

You should be able to create some nice looking line and stacked bar graphs in Excel which would nearly duplicate the histograms I usually post.

The summary part of the screen and the histograms come from the software called Newport, which currently isn't available. I capture the images directly from the software, crop and paste them together to get the composites shown here. It's badly in need of being updated for the newer Windows platforms and I'm not sure it will ever be done. The author has been gathering up the info needed to possibly get the work done.

It was first developed in 1993 in DOS, updated in 1996 and "fixed" for the Millennium, but no further development was done.

The http://www.automaticinvestor.com software will create similar graphs and I'm sure there's summary screens in it as well.

I've found the images instructive when trying to show what AIM does. Seeing the cash reserve being actively used tells the story best.

Thanks for posting. Please feel free to join in on the conversations or ask questions as they might pop up.

Best regards, Tom
