I'm in shock!
Those are some of the most well thought out, insightful replies I have ever read in a forum on the Internet in my life! Thank you guys for your awesome replies. I couldn't agree more with 99% of the points you guys made. How refreshing.
I meant by the 2% loss just that if you wanted to limit risk, that's a guarenteed way to do it, I didn't mean to infer to do it within an AIM account.
As for my 'sure bets', the chance of a Walmart going out of business vs an XM Satellite Radio (I own both) is a 'sure bet' vs a 'risk' to me.
Being a hockey player, I completely understand your analogy and I have never heard if put that way, but what a brilliant way to explain it!
Thanks for the replies guys, excellent reading!
