Hi,
Can you give me your opinion on what is the best way to set A.I.M. parameters for someone who just wants to buy index stocks such as SPY, MDY, DIA, QQQ, XLK, XLP, XLF
Pages 106 thru 115 show a 10 yr performance record of AIM with the NYSE index.
Buy and Hold $472 loss.
AIM $4459 profit.
If you don't mind high risk, IMO two of the SPYDRs you mention could be replaced with Mutual Funds.
ULPIX to replace SPY and UOPIX to replace QQQ. The indices they represent are the same but because of the use of futures they produce double the profits (as well as the losses). This is like manna from heaven for the AIM investor. It is recommended that you open an account with ProFunds as they do not charge any transaction fees compared to brokers who charge anywhere from $25 to $75 per transaction. I have my safes set at 8 and get plenty of action.
Hope this helps.
Bernie
