Thank you very much, Tom and Clive. I have discovered the 2x ETF's which will certainly provide the volatility that AIM seems to like. Also the 2x sector ETF's through Proshares. One thing that concerns me is the low volume. Is that a problem with AIM? Would a portfolio filled with 2x funds managed by AIM work well? It seems like that would be a way to deal with volatility- profit by it. However, many 2x funds lost 60% plus during the last year so risk management would be important.

I actually discovered AIM after I realized that the only thing that was making me money in this market was buying SPY when it was in low 80's and selling at 90. Slow but sure. Good to know all of you have been making money this way for years and in an ordered way.
Clive, Your suggestion is intriguing but a little too sophisticated for me at this time. Let me try the basic, then I will get back to you for more suggestions. Cindy
