Hi SF

You may think you need to change your investing methods to keep up with the times but that is the biggest mistake you can make.

I was talking to an older friend years ago when I just started Aiming about how momentum investing is so opposite AIMing. His statement to me is that both methods can work but you can NOT switch from one method to another.

Most people use Aim to avoid emotional decisions, if you change any of the parameters AFTER you start an Aim program you are making an emotional decision and risk data mining for something that only worked in the past.

If you try to maximize your returns, you also risk maximizing your losses.

Have you even started Aiming yet, or are you still looking for the holy grail?

Aim has me buy on the way down and sell on the way up. It works good enough.

It is safer with funds than with individual stocks.

Some diversification of sectors or industries is good.

Keep it simple

Simple is good.

Not always

Take the road less traveled. It will make all the difference.
