Hi aim hier,
I agree that this would not be a good concept with some funds that represent the broadly diversified overall 'stock market'. However, my original post was concerned with some ultra long/short 'sector' funds.....REITs.
I could be wrong, but I think that 'cyclical sector' funds could give the AIM concept of the fall, rise, fall, rise, fall, rise, etc. motion that enabled Mr. Lichello to develop his AIM formula in the first place. That is the 'juice' that he mentioned and what we are all seeking.....'volatility capture'. Especially cyclical sector funds that can go 200% long or short. They may not be good "pairs" candidates for previously mentioned reasons, but that does not necessarily make them poor AIM candidates, IMO.
Regards,
Ray
