Hi Mark,
In my time backtesting X_DEV to get proper set-ups there are many many stocks that yield the 100%/yr. Most of these are safer stocks than I ever looked at to get AIM action. I was amazed really. You can eye-ball a chart and not expect such results but the back-test proves those results were acheivable. X_DEV makes quick and continuous profits from the smaller "monthly" bumps. RL based AIM essentially damps out these bumps and does not profit from them. Even looking at RMBS today was a delightly find. Hard to argue against >300% in 16 months with B/H at 21%.
As for risk - X_DEV takes the capital at risk off the table very quickly, usually in the first set of sales. That is hard to beat! It's bands tell you when it is safest to make the first set of buys, which has so far worked extremely well.
I don't know of any place where all the competing methods are putting their "FACTS" on the table (performance, cash stats, ...) so all I rely on is my own work and draw my own conclusions.
One fact is that X_DEV prompted virtually all of my holdings to go to 100% cash in early December (as it did RMBS as well!) where-as most AIM users are cheering having a single sale of 5% of their holdings in a small handful of issues. As the market has retreated 5% since then, 95% of AIM holdings have sunk with it, and most are completely out of cash to do anything once the "new" bottom is reached. That tells me A LOT.
