Hi Jim, I've posted lists before, but didn't feel they gave a good definition to the differences between funds. Using just FORBES long term histories and ratings I felt gave the list a good background. By weighting the various aspects of what makes up a good AIM account, it differentiates between good, volatile funds and good,steady funds.
After all, so few funds beat the S&P 500 regularly that just doing that makes the fund pretty good. Beating it with enough volatility to drive an AIM program is something else! I'm glad you enjoyed the list. I'll try to keep it up to date as more funds are "old enough" to make the list! Some funds are too new to have enough history to be rated by Forbes' methods. This excludes many of the Sector funds, and I feel this is unfair to that category. Certainly the list has something for just about everyone.
For those that don't know it, Jim and I have been electronic friends for literally years. Without his help and encouragement at some rather stressful times, I'm not sure I would have been able to keep the AIM topic alive. Thank you very much for your consistantly good reporting.
Best regards,
Tom
