Conrad: ... but the yield of -1,4% for the 191 day run could almost not be right.

Why not? It is about what I get. I can't completely duplicate the results (unless I change my min $$$ to min shares), but I get a small loss too, just under 2%. B&H lost more, so AIM did a fine job. This is one of those cases where the AIM action cushions a negative stock trend, but not enough for a profit.

BTW, B&H with 33% cash would have done a bit worse, about -5%, so AIM did a bit more than cushion (in that case it would have stood between B&H with 33% cash and plain B&H).

I don't think AIM is designed to beat all other methods in the market. It is designed to reduce your risk and to turn you a decent profit, even in markets that go nowhere. In case you want profits in declining markets, don't turn to AIM. You might get lucky, but that is about it.
