Hi Conrad
Below are my results.
Hopefully I did not make any mistakes either with using a hand calculator or in typing the #s in to this post.
Buy and Hold would have been better with this price set. Since this is a comparison and not a contest the results will let you see how AIM works and the differences.
Some insight from me:
1) Hopefully you don't make a habit of buying stocks that proceed to drop more than 50% in a straight line!
2) This price list is more volatile than anything I invest in.
3) I tend to use 5% MIN ORDER SIZE (not 4.5%) 5% might have allowed me to buy at one more lower price.
4) $15 was my last buy of a minimal amount of shares
Then started selling at $26
$38 was then last sell price.
Then a few buys and sells
Ended run at $50 with
SV of $124000
shares 2480
Cash $68279
Total account value of $192279
I guess B+H would have had $200,000 but would they have had the discipline
At $50 AIM is ordering the sale of 332 shares (2480 - 332)
Format:
price, PC, SV, Shares, (PC-SV), 10%SV, (PC-SV)-10% SV, .045 SV, buy or (SELL) advise in shares rounded to whole shares
PC in next row is increased by 1/2 ( shares bought * price) That will be slightly different that the sell advise in Dollars (sometimes more or sometimes less)
