I got an interesting question today.

<<2: What will be the effects if i stick to a twice a month schedule of investing which might mean ignoring a buy or sell recommendation?

The Great Debate. Should an AIM investor use a "time" strategy, plugging his stock into the system at a regular interval, or should he determine the next exact buy and sell points and place limit orders?
Is it better to catch the exact point at which a trade will be signaled and move right away, or would it be possible to capture a far superior price for your shares by entering only the daily, weekly or bi-weekly closes. Maybe we will have to ask Tom.

Each line of thought has it's merits. To this day, I have not been convinced that either is superior. Anyone capable of back-testing both strategies on each stock in the S&P?
