A great week indeed! My method also let me jump in and ride the upswing! Buy low, sell high. That is the essence of any successful strategy. AIM does that with a long-term methodology. Now, I've put all kinds of mathematical models to the test looking for a generic long-term strategy for timing the overall market, and I can't find anything that beats buy and hold if you're trading the market indices. But, AIM provides buy and sell signals among individual stocks (and bonds). I'm trying to reformulate my methodology, which easily outperforms the market indices via short-term buy and sell signals, to provide signals on which days are best for buying or selling individual stocks. My hope is that, when you have stocks that look like good buy candidates, I'll be able to provide advice on the best timing for the purchase. Likewise for selling. It's almost uncanny how the AIM methods and my own very often have the same overall opinion of the market. A short-term methodology applied to the AIM guidelines could potentially enhance everyone's profits, by letting all of us buy at the start of a rally, and sell at the start of a decline. I'm working on this -- don't have a lot of time, but, it is a goal! Kevin
