Make your minimum purchase or sale 10 percent of your Stock Value. Another way to look at it is this: The amount you insert in your AIM-HI Action column must be at least equal to your Safe figure. Thus if your Stock Value is $2,000 your Safe figure would be $200. And the MINIMUM figure in your Action column must be at least that much: $200. Otherwise, just insert a zero in the Action column.
Lichello advocated AIM-HI for all types of investors, 80% stock, 20% cash initial allocation (i.e. cash reserve is 25% of the stock value initially), with any additional amounts added also being split 80/20. For retiree's he suggested feeding AIM stock/bond blended funds (and using a short term bond fund for the cash side of things (higher interest) rather than a money market fund).
