Hi CH, One of our contributors here - Bill; aka "Dataminer" - is from StockSystem.com that has an Excel template for running AIM accounts or simulations. It has a feature that allows you to import price histories and see "what if" AIM had done the management of the equity. The name of their template is PCA (stands for Position Cost Averaging) which is a good way to describe what AIM does.

If you want to run simulations, you should probably check out their software. It's a great way to learn how AIM reacts to real world investing situations. It will also help you to differentiate between good investments and good "AIM" investments!

Matching the personality of the equity to AIM's rather strong personality is important. Such "what if" studies really help to weed out the portfolio as to what's good for AIM and what is a waste of time. Take a look at their site: stocksystem.com and see what you think.

Best regards, Tom

Best regards, Tom

Hi CH,
There are a lot of people who try to time the market with AIM which as far as I am concerned is an exercise in futility. AIM works best if you buy stocks and follow the program for at least 3 years. I'll run the PCA sheet on AMZN and let you know how it works.
