Isn't that the general idea here?

But WHAT is new about bailing out when prices are high and getting back in when prices are low? That technique is as old as investing itself and you can do that without using the AIM PC as guideline. It is a known alternative to AIM type investing.

Am I the one that doesn't "get it". . . (using the AIM PC as an indicator). . . or don't some of you "get it" that one can look at the stock price itself to decide to delay buys till a price reversal at the bottom occurs and to bail out if a price reversal at the top occurs?

Th primary purpose of AIM is supposedly to follow up the Buy and Sell signals it gives. Other than that it makes sense to use other Market indicators to delay buys and/or trigger bailouts.

So, the part I do not understand is the idea that if the the PC of AIM BTB no longer rises then this is a direct result of the fact that the price dropping has stopped and the Buy Signal is zero(not considering residuals). My point is that you can see this directly form the price behavior. . .why look at the PC to make that observation? If the price stops dropping you already know that this FACT for the price it self.

It like walking outside and it stops snowing. Then you go insode and watch the news on TV, which states that it is no longer snowing in the place that you were when it stopped snowing. Then you say: "Good Lord" it is no longer snowing! Good thing I watched the news on TV or else I would not have known it".

That's the way this PC method as an indicator appears to me. It does not give any more information that the price behavior itself does.

I don't get it!
