Smilin',

I put some stocks into AIM and I trade others, and when the trading fails, I put those stocks into AIM. lol

I trade stocks that I think are moving up, where I think I can make a point or two quickly. Stocks that are moving under momentum, where they may primarily be moving up, and don't have much of a retracement.

AIM is great when a stock is going up and down with some intensity, but if a stock is mostly going up, AIM doesn't give the best return: your shares dwindle, and you don't get optimal advantage of the situation. You are left with very few shares as the stock continues to profit.

Of course, no stock goes up forever and eventually there will be a retracement and an opportunity to buy again, under AIM. I'm trying to deal with the stocks through trading, which seem to be just going up. As I would if I were shorting now (I'm not) with stocks that seem to be primarily going down.

When I buy a stock for a trade, and instead of going up the way I thought it would, it goes down quite a bit, then I have been throwing those into AIM, where the situation gets salvaged. I'll buy more at the lower prices and eventually will be brought into a profit position, just keeping the stock in AIM from then on.
