Idiot Wave and AIM are interesting. The analysis that goes into the IW is certainly similar to what I do in some ways. For example, I've spent a lot of time studying bond/stock relationships. But I've worked mostly with the 30-year Treasury bond, in part because it's an international instrument, and I'm interested in currencies as well as stocks and bonds. I'd like to put more graphs on my site -- finding the time is the problem. I'll definitely look into AIM more. Concern with risk is something of huge importance to me (note that I rank all my models on risk-adjusted return, not pure return) -- and I see that risk is right at the center of the AIM methods. Most forums and chat rooms are filled with people who want to tell you how they made 37% today or in the past few weeks. But, you never hear about the times they lose 37%. No one wants to go onto the internet when that happens. AIM sounds down-to-earth and cautious. I may trade frequently (except between November and January), but I'm actually a very cautious investor. I hate being caught in a market tumble. Thanks for all the info. I'll continue to research AIM and post my views too. Kevin
