Hi Toof.

Steve: Anything to add to the above?

Not really but I will ammend one! :-)

It is a good idea to use 5% (instead of 10% as your BUY and SELL SAFE. It is also a good idea to use 10% as your minimum trade size.
That will keep you from running out of shares to sell too fast.


I don't agree that one should use the settings to 'extend' a program's selling. Rather, I set up my new LD-AIM programs for 'X' number of consecutive sales at my usual settings and let the chips fall where they may.

LD-AIM can be more of a trading vehicle rather than accumulation. However, I have numerous LD programs running for many years and still haven't sold out.
SNDK is over 9 years running on LD-AIM and is definitely my largest program (about 15% of my total portfolio value).
I've sold out of it once in Jan, 2006 but bough more actual shares to the program one month later. I currently own more than 6X my 'actual' purchase on that reboot and have had 37 trades on it since then (20 Buys, 17 Sells). My actual shares exceed my virtual by almost 4 times.
Like I've said in the past, once an LD-AIM program runs through a few cycles, it's almost like Classic AIM.

Your other comments really relate to AIM and investing in general and don't pertain specifically to LD-AIM versus Classic.
All FWIW.
