Hi Bob, As Bernie mentioned, experience seems to be the best teacher of all regarding investing and specifically AIMing an investment. However, you have the benefit of learning along with the rest of the group here.

As I said, I'm not through settling on where or how I'm going to perform my miracle 2X to 1X to 2X switching, but I'm thinking of using the Idiot Wave's risk ranges as the signal. First thought was to use the 50% Cash recommendation as the point to switch from the 2X fund to the 1X equivalent. That's where the Idiot Wave heads into its High Risk range.

Initially I was thinking that I'd stay in the 1X fund until the next Low Risk point was hit. That occurs when the IW drops to 30% recommended cash for stock accounts. However, that happens so rarely that I might use a higher value.

I'll be experimenting using price histories over the next few weeks to see if I can pin this idea down to a good strategy. In the mean time, the IW's in the Average Risk range and there's no reason to think about switching at this point. Just make sure you execute AIM's good advice on selling as well as buying for now.

Best regards, Tom
