AIM is better than BUY and HOLD when the market is going down. That is because at the top of the market AIM will have you holding quite a lot of cash and you will be buying at lower prices as thwe stock goes down.
In an up market BUY and HOLD is better because you haven't sold any shares at low prices as the stock goes up.
AIM really shines over multiple cycles.
If you believe in G-D and think G-D is benevolent then why would G-D let bad things happen if G-D knew they would occur.
If G-D doesn't know what is going to happen in the future why should we!
Unlike many other methods of investing AIM does not have you invest with the expectation that the market will and needs to move in the direction you predict. AIM reacts to the movement of the market but does not predict it.
