Bernie, that has crossed my mind before and been working on it. This the only time I have seen the "Bear Funds" make any decent money due to the recent market drop. The best strategy which is a little contrary to AIM philosophy is to move assets to a "short fund" during a downturn. You would need to liquidate a portion of your stock fund and cash to open a new account. I will try to run some numbers. I know that you can switch from Rydex OTC to Ursa and have the potential to gain 20% in the market. It is one of my strategies on my site. However, have not develop one for AIM yet using short funds. Will attempt to work on a back test model and if it produces any worthwhile results will report on it. I know for a fact during this recent move down, it will show some merit. But can we wait 10-12 years for such Bear Markets? AIM wants more volatility than that.
