Hi JP,
folks, notice we don't use Hi Jack.
I was thinking the same and, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have :-)
I find the numbers you have derived very interesting. Let me see if I understand your trial. If TSE300 is a particular exchange and you "traded" it, then your results would be the equivalent of trading a mutual fund with the same stocks. Yes?
Yes, that's correct, it's very much like trading a low MER index fund with no commissions for buying/selling/switching.
One could do very well just AIMing the Nasdaq, which is what some here are doing with Profunds, etc.
Your idea of a contest sounds interesting.
Apart from getting the AIM settings right, I feel that in order to beat a particular index, one has to make judgement calls about a few things, such as when to enter, and when to exit. Other approaches might be to take more money off the table than indicated by IW (Idiot Wave), or to AIM bear funds when the risk is extremely high.
I feel that with AIM and good judgement, one could beat an index.
Sincerely, Jack |
