Good morning all:

Was cogitating on AIM this morning (which I know can be dangerous).

Anyway, I know this has been discussed a while ago, but I would like to revisit the question of when to divest of an AIM holding.

My overall AIM approach (see previous post) is to build a diverse base of holdings, so that use of the algorithm is maximized. This being said, it stands to reason that divestiture and redirect of some of that base will be necessary from time to time.

I've considered stop loss, but that flies into the face of AIM. One other thought I've had is that since the AIM formula relies on volatility, an otherwise good stock which was volatile, may not be anymore. Would that be a good time to reallocate? Certainly one should not get married to a stock inside of AIM. Does anyone have a way to measure an individual stock's volatility? And if so, when does it call for total sell off?

Thanks in advance for the help in pondering this one.

As always, Up (too early) in Utopia
