Hey J.
Congrats on your sells.
I am curious about the 10-yr performance of your AXAS AIM program and how you managed to stick around all this time. My back testing shows that an LD-AIM program, 2X leverage, with 63% cash reserves (played with the settings to end up with 10X-11X fold number of shares) would've had a CAGR is ~5.75% assuming VFISX cash. That would have been a very tough hold for me.
I'll have to go back through the records to assess where I am at after all these years with SNDK.
But 2 facts could help explain the differential you note.
1. Between Oct, 2007 and March, 2009 I had 11 consecutive Buys starting at $49 / share and ending at less that $10. So I guess I did hang tough through the great recession.
2. I run a common cash reserve and it was very low during most of that time. But I do recall allocating much of it to SNDK as it seemed to be a no brainer as far a long term outlook.
I'll take a look at the whole life of the program when I get a chance since the info is spread around a bit since I changed the way I track all of my activity a few times over the 12 years since I began LD-AIM.
Best Regards, Steve (The Grabber)
