If your 20, 30 or even 40 years old risk can be ingored but when 50+ you must take it into account because time is not on your side. Well, risk should never be ignored, IMO (the best bet is the sure thing), but volatility certainly gets more important as time goes on. But I wonder, as a volatility-reduction strategy, how does AIM compare to simpler portfolio-diversification methods like 50% equities, 50% bonds at all times? I would just worry that the frequent buying and selling of AIM would give Uncle Sam too much of your gains?
