Hi Tom, I wonder where I got it. Having been a bit brain dead at times due to illness, I have no clue where exactly it came from. I suspect, since I generally am quite good at Internet searches, I may have stumbled upon it as I was looking for all things AIM.
The reason why I though it was yours is because it uses the Adjusted Closing prices, something I've never quite understood how they work and why one would use them. My understanding is that they take into account dividends (perhaps other payouts as well) and deduct them from the price. My question is, why, as the position never trades at that price? The brokers, at least TDAmeritrde does, do the same thing for the day they dividend is paid and then go back to the actual market trading price, so why would one use it for AIM?
As to the spreadsheet with Vealies I'm going to redo it with the current listed Yahoo prices at close of day and run some of the same tests and see what happens.
In looking over what I have already done it is clear to me that one needs to split the buy and sell percentages as well as increase the percent of stocks sold a bit to get the best results. One thing I noted was the results I got with 5% SV and 9% Safe were exactly the same as 4% SV and 10% Safe, showing that they are clearly interlocked.
BTW, I'm guessing it would be okay for me to forward that spreadsheet to anyone who wants it. Just drop me a note at 60e20f21@opayq.com.
Warmest Regards,
Allen
