Hi Chris

>>>>Seems like you want more volatility then a market that goes straight up<<<<

I assume you are talking about AIM?

The purpose of AIMing is to take the emotion out of owning stocks (ETFs and funds are safer) and force you to sell as they go up and buy as they go down. If you have a long run you may achieve 80% cash but wouldn't you want to be in that position in 2000 or 2007?

AIM is the only method that I know of that doesn't try to predict the market but just reacts to it instead. With other methods you are buying because you THINK it will go up or selling because you THINK it will go down.

Have you been on the AIM board and Tom's website www.aim-users.com

Take the road less traveled. It will make all the difference.
