Hi Gang, In looking for two different things; a place to park my spare cash and have it earn a bit but not have very much volatility so when money is drawn out per AIM's instructions there is little, if any loss, and positions that have high volatility to get the most from AIM's strategy. This also might find those sectors/industries that are most out of favor at the moment. I decided to see if I could spreadsheet this.

First I gathered a bunch of ETFs and punched them into Netstock. Then I took that data and added a couple of calculations, the 52 week high/low % change and then, since I would want to buy in near the low, the percentage above the 52 week low. I left in the column for dividend. volume.

The one that was the winner for the bank was:

	          52		 52		  %			 
 Symbol	 Name	 Week 	Current  Week 	Range 	Above 	Dividend 	Dividend 	Volume 
 		 Low	 Price	 High	  %	 Low	 $/year	           %	 
 HYG   iShares   89.21	 92.05	95.43	6.97%	3.183%	  5.21	          5.67	      1,780,735 

The rest of what I've done so far is below.



As you can see, PXI is the highest volatility and the lowest % above the 52 week low but don't count on much income. The next step is to back test it and see how AIM likes it. As a follow up I'll put MORL into a wait and see mode because it has a high dividend. It also looks like IEZ and IXC, both in the energy sector, may be out of favor and might be worth following. Granted none of them have a 100% low to high range but 1x leveraged ETFs seem to be relatively low volatility.

Now the grunt work to put more ETFs into the table.

Best,

Allen
