Hi Nitelord: In answer to your question:

YES

But seriously:

Lets say you bought the DOW, S+P500, or QQQ about seven years ago(just for arguments sake).

When the market went up to (in 20-20 hindsite)rediculus levels would you have sold out? Would your forehead hurt a year later as the market kept going up?

Or would you have held on past the peak and have looked at the drops as buying oportunities and about a year ago have your forehead start hurting as you bang it against the nearest wall or desk.

Would you have any fingernails left?

I started AIMing about seven years ago with two mutual funds I already owned. For the first five years all I did was sell. I was kicking myself that I was giving up 20% profits per year(on paper)for 5% in a Money Market fund. But that has given me the cash to buy in durring the current downturn.

I have made two mistakes (which I will not elaborate here as I have posted about them in the past) and both have to do with not following AIM "BY The Book".

AIM has allowed me to invest unemotionally and without thinking "Should I wait till it goes a few points higher till I sell" or "Should I wait till it goes a few points lower before I buy". AIM tells me when to buy and sell. I "JUST" have to decide what to invest in.

Still
