Hallo Adam,
I agree with you 99,9% :-)

It is 32 C in my home with all the doors open. . .there is no wind. . .Outside there is a Heat Wave hanging around, refusing to move. Everything outside that melts as 35 C is flowing down the street. I am sweating like a work horse. . . and I am almost naked while I write this. . .Good thing I am alone. . it would freak out somebody. . .I will go out, fight the heat, and find a place to have a cool drink.

I can no longer think of AIM, nor Vortex, nor Enron-ites, nor anything practical. . .after my post to Fuzzy today. . .I am at my last minutes of my life . . .so it feels!

The 0,1% has to wait. . .Maybe I made a mistake and 0,1% = 0%

Hi Adam

>>>>
If the stock does not recover no method helps. AIM just breaks down and results in a big loss either way. You say you can avoid this by stock selection, but I doubt it. For example I've had stocks that bottomed out because of accounting irregularities, and there is no way for an outsider to know these things. <<<<<<

I agree and we have discussed this common problem with AIM. We also discussed the solution of buying funds (they won' go to zero)


>>>>It can also hurt you with the most common situation: a stock that makes a drop not far below your hold zone and recovers. In that case the filter will block the buy and poison the AIM mechanism.<<<<<<<<

That was a possibility I saw also
