Grabber,

Wow, impressive! GIEW got 21.4% for 2010, I guess this thing (AIM) really does work.

As an illustration of the compounding effect of AIM, today's Sell was for over 80% as many shares as my initial purchase, but still represented only 11% of the total shares owned.

Is this only for your AXAS stock holding? Meaning that over the past 5+ years, you've been accumulating alot of shares? In 2008 - 2009, the stock price for AXAS really dropped, wouldn't AIM tell you to purchase then?

I noticed in your post 33466, GIEW has all stocks (though probably not a complete list) as opposed to ETF or Indexes. Is this a personal preference and/or one of the reasons for using LD-AIM? From what I'm gathering from recent posts, ETFs are probably better for a newbie to get started with as the total investment will be spread across multiple companies versus one or two. Is this correct?

Thanks for your replys and comments. It is really helpful for all us newbies.
