Hi Grabber,

ya, I have been experimenting with it and I see its benefits. Thanks for a great spreadsheet b.t.w..

It seems to me that LD-AIM beats classic AIM in a sideways, range bound environment and the current market may be the right one for this method. But who knows ...

In reading what I previously wrote, it was poor wording on my behalf.

By sideways market i meant to say a market that keeps zigzagging, rising enough (above the hold zone) to generate a few sells, but also falling enough (below the hold zone) to generate a few buys. Rinse and repeat. This way, LD-AIM will do what it does best.

What I am trying to say is that not only does LD-AIM beat classic AIM on an ROCAR basis; in some cases it matches/beats it on an ROC basis, esp. when classic AIM never sells its core shares. Exactly the reason that got you thinking about the strategy to begin with.

My ultimate goal is to match buy&hold with less risk and AIM does it for me. LD-AIM is even a better risk management system than classic AIM. Hence the reason I am quite attracted to it.

I've been using LD-AIM exclusively for 11+ years now.

If you started in 2003, then it was the beginning of an big uptrend and I can see how that would've resulted in too many sell outs.

Thanks again Grabber. This is a great improvement IMO.
