Mr S. would agree, I think, that a major index is a stable pyramid with a large base. I also prefer the use of a major index.
Sometimes I get the urge to AIM some individual stocks, there is more volatility, and good profits are a possibility. At this moment I am up 90% with my individual stocks. A good business case would be to sell the stocks and buy the index. That is the same as an AIM buy with a nearly 50% drawdown, what would normally be a good point of entry. It enhances the growth of the AIMed index.
