Hi again HT, For the majority of index funds you would do well with a 10% SAFE (resistance) for Selling and 0.0% for buying. In most cases a max of 33% should be plenty. If you're going to used one of the "souped up" funds like UOPIX, it will require better balance between the buy and sell SAFE levels. I'm currently using 8% for both and Cash Reserve at the level recommended for "Stocks." Last Fall's dip proved to use that cash very effectively when back-tested. AIM will do its best during a bull market, but will rarely beat methods with a higher risk level. It's hard to de-couple Risk-Reward!! However, given enough market cycles, AIM will eventually beat Buy&Hold. Time and the number of cycles is what AIM needs to prevail. If you have the ability to add cash to the system periodically, they you can get away with a lower cash reserve starting point. Those who are working should be able to do this. Those of us who are effectively retired must make due with what's already there. Hope this helps, Tom
