Hi BJ, The reason I keep Thomas Phelps book "100 to 1 in the Stock Market" as recommended reading at my AIM site is that it's the ultimate Buy & Hold discussion. It was with careful reading that I noticed several times he mentioned that the price rise wasn't linear for these long term (up to 40 years) investments. The non-linearity is where AIM comes in. Given time spans long enough AIM usually has a chance to build the portfolio. Given decent volatility, AIM has the chance to beat even buy & hold by eventually accumulating more shares than B&H. My main reason for using AIM is that I'm retired and therefore don't have "fresh money" to add to my investments when prices are best. There are other ways to limit risk exposure, however this one "fits" best with me. Best regards, Tom
