Well, I just added another $100 to my account because it has no cash to trade with. Yes, we have a week and a half before the day comes up, but the prospects of AIM telling me to invest more are almost certain. Besides, I haven't had the funds to do what AIM told me to do last month, so the account is starting a bit lower than it would be had I invested what was instructed. Most likely, I will be even more in the hole after this month's trade.
I don't like to be adding money to the account just to have cash in there. The way this is supposed to work is as a closed system. There should always be sufficient funds to put into stocks when the low times come. I am finding that I am paying for the months back in the fall when I was doing a trade whenever the Stock Value went down low enough to send a signal. This is why one of AIM's rules is to only trade once a month (at the most frequent interval) - it gives the market a chance to move between trades...besides the fact that this system is supposed to SIMPLIFY your life with regards to stock trading, not complicate it. I guess I needed a life lesson to prove why this rule exists. I'm kind of a tinkerer, you know :)
