I suspect AIM would have done better than me simply because I bought the majority of my holdings in 1995 and 1996 on those violent drops and have yet to get back to Jan 1999 prices where the returns were quite acceptable. Overall MO has been a disappointment for the past two year in my world, but AIM'ers would have done much better than Mr. B&H in this timeframe. ---- Dave PS, LUV return is error, I typed in wrong purchase date. return = 12.8% ARGH! Mr AIM would have definately smoked me here also.
