AIM v. B&H - Buying at lows...

I found this to be an interesting exercise...

With all special cases enabled, AIM'ing at the lowest price does not beat B&H starting on same date (over selected datasets.)

First panel is QQQ over 17+ years, allowing cash to go negative.

Second panel is AAPL over 37.6 years, allowing cash to go negative.

Third panel is AAPL over 37.6 years, not allowing cash to go negative.

Fourth panel is AMD over 4.5+ years, starting at the lowest point over the past ~40 years, allowing cash to go negative. AMD was selected as it has the highest Beta in the SP500 (2.98).

Fifth panel is O over 25.2 years, allowing cash to go negative. O was selected as it has the lowest (positive) Beta in the SP500 (0.01).
