Hi Gang, and Tom, Then I went back to SPY and tried the same routine starting in 1993, the oldest data on Yahoo. No luck at all. Buy and hope outdid AIM by more than 50%. Even trying a shorter period for AIM did not work as the "down point" was not for several years, and though the overall percentage for that later period per year was over 9%, AIM just could not keep up.

So, it proves volatility and a relatively short range - SPY had a range from $44.40 up to $236.77 and the lowest intermediate point was $70.53.), but that did not happen until April 2009 so sitting on your hands was not a viable option.

Best,

Allen
