Thanks j.

What a ride indeed.

With a volatile stock like AXAS, I require at least a 25% LIFO return or no less than a 15% higher price than my previous Sell.

So yes, that kind of move does trigger a large Sell typically between 9 and 12% of my programs holdings (Actual + Virtual).
I've AIM'd AXAS since 2005, so the Actual shares outnumber Virtual by almost 14 times at present. Given that, the % of Actual vs the % of total is minimal.
The use of virtual in LD-AIM allows for less expensive entry to a program and was designed to do that.
But the virtual's impact on the program diminishes over time. It all gets back to my original thesis of never having to buy most of a core position if the likeliehood is you're never going to sell it.
