Re:Testing and optimizing etc.

The problem that I see is that even if you could tell what the exact price that EVERY stock would be next week (or whatever), how many people would you let know. When would that knowlege begin to affect the price. At what point does it become a self furfilling prophecy?

If everyone knows that there is a January effect then people will start buying in December and then it becomes a December effect!

AIM will ALWAYS work because it REACTS! It does not predict. The worst that could happen is that the volitility of the stock market would go down because everyone (or enough) people are using AIM.

AIM says in ADVANCE: I will sell if it goes up or I will buy if it goes down but it does not predict which will happen or when.

In the short term in a rising market buy and hold is better than AIM and in a falling market selling everything you have is better than AIM. But can anyone with any certainty tell me what will happen tomorrow let alone between now and the end of the year?

If you can please let me know! This market is killing me!I feel like that guy in the monopoly game who is pulling his pockets out of his pants!
