Hi Tom, Thanks for the list of possible income positions. Here is what I found that seemed might the best for an income position by doing a volatility check for about the first half.

Symbol        Volatility	 High/Low Ratio	       Income 
 PSK		9.37%		    1.19/1		5.89% 
 BIV		6.83%		    1.35/1		3.62% 
 BKLN		4.67%		    1.12/1		4.09% 
 CYB		3.84%		    1.08/1		4.08%

As you can see volatility does not always follow in direct parallel with the high/low ratio. The one with the lowest volatility also has the lowest ratio, but you might not want to select it as it is a currency ETF, WisdomTree Chinese Yuan Strategy ETF (CYB). This somewhat explains why the volatility is low because the Chinese are maintaining a stable, low, fixed exchange rate to maintain their exports.

Anyway, the volatility calculations give one another handle on selecting the appropriate position for either a "bank" or a higher volatility to let AIM work its magical management skills.

Best,

Allen
