Hi all

I have found that even though I am selling, in a rising market, it is hard to raise my cash PERCENTAGE because the whole account is increasing. So my cash is not increasing as fast as I might think it should.

Anyone else realize this?

Hi lostcowboy, Actually that is why it was a question, not a suggestion. I could not make "negative portfolio percentage increase (actually a decrease)" work in any way other than a blind guess.

As to your other points, I'm doing reasonably well with AIM though I'm not getting a lot of trades, but that's okay, but it is why I'm playing around with a bunch of ideas, not all viable, to see if there is any way to improve volatility capture.

Thanks for the suggested readings, but your link for the CASH BURN RATE for AIM table doesn't work. I get:

"Hrm.

Wayback Machine doesn't have that page archived.

Want to search for all archived pages under www.aim-users.com:80/ ?"

One actual link is:
