Inverse Correlation

Tom and all,

One of our common dreams is to find a pair of stocks or mutual funds that have a 'perfect' inverse correlation. That is, one rises and the other falls. The sells of the rising one generate the cash to make the buys on the other.

Well, I see a problem. The feedback loop in AIM is raising the bar with each purchase. Assuming that you started with a non-trivial cash reserve, i.e. 33%-50%, won't this feedback loop eventually run you dry of cash?

I have done a bit of simulation, and this appears to he the result. Can anyone confirm/deny this statement?
