HI Allen

You lost me at the end but no matter.

I meant to make my suggestion on the the SPY results and I commented because you reduced the BUY SAFE and I believe Tom only reduces the SELL SAFE (or at least to zero) for some reason.

I am surprised at your results. Somehow my personal results seem much better. I ha e to admit that when the market is in a long uptrend and I am holding lots of cash I wonder why I am Aiming.

Hi Gang, I sc#$%@d up some of the last post in that I did not correctly account for dividends for Buy and Hope. In actuality B&H would have beaten AIM in every scenario because of the 20% idle cash in AIM that did not collect dividends but B&H would have. So the total for B&H would be about $56,144, 7.296%/year for the full 1993-2017 span.

It's too much to go back and do the B&H figures for the other scenarios but I'm guessing the same holds true for them because 100% minimum trade size amounts to, almost, B&H with very, very, very few, if any trades.

Clearly, beating an index in what is a mostly bull market is difficult if not impossible.

Now to PRNHX, lets see what happens there.

Best,

Allen
