[Aim Or Bust]

Hello all...

So I am ready to start aiming a sector fund. I have chosen the AIM RRSP discovery fund, it has lots of volatility, as can see below...

So when do I start aiming? At 2.72 its well off its 52 week low of 2.18, but is also still down quite a bit from its high of 3.77.

So my question is should I jump in now, using the idiot wave as my guide, or should I wait for a lower idiot wave, indicating a short term market low?

It seems to me the initial purchase price is very important, too high and the initial purchase will drag results down for a long time.

Thanks

todd
