Hello David,

It is always a problem determining when to dump a stock for a better prospect.
Our main problem is that we can't forcast future volatility.
I'm assuming that the 4% return means very little trading activity? or is it just that you are at that point in the cycle where the return looks lousy but you have accumulated more stock?

Some stocks by their industry are less volatile such as Real Estate trusts, and other defensive type stocks.
Do the stocks you mentioned have a dividend? if so that would increase the return?

I have a few stocks that have not triggered any buys and sells for a few years but the dividend is good at around 5%, if I could also get them to trigger a trade once a year that would increase the returns.
LD AIM would still require the stock to be volatile enough to trigger a trade so even if I changed some of my stocks to LD AIM I still wouldn't be able to exit them.

Regards

Neil
