Hi Tom,

..on selling and buying frequency... Excellent post, Tom. Very clear and well thought-out.

Mr. L is enamored of the trend, as I recall from his book. He argues that one trade a month, or even a quarter, should yield the benefits of AIM. I have always wondered about this point. As you note, inflection points come and go quickly and we don't want to miss them or try to outguess them. A more rapid AIM cycle (I have been using every two weeks but may accelerate that to every week in light of this discussion) addresses that.

Scaling back on buys (ie preserving cash) when prices drop sharply is prudent, even as we take the money and run on the up-tick sale orders.

best rgds,
Jonathan

I can't pay my bills with lost opportunity, just with profits.

That says it all. Great post and very well thought out.

That's why I have decided on a tiered approach to using the Cash Reserve. I should probably write a formal description of it and place it at the AIM Users web site for reference.

I feel this is of utmost importance. I've got some notes and pie charts if I can be of assistance.

Keith
