AIM  SPREADSHEET  STUDIES

This section provides links to pdf files of Excel spreadsheets, including charts, corresponding to the examples in the Robert Lichello book
How to Make $1,000,000 in the Stock Market Automatically!

These spreadsheets were set up for recordkeeping of transactions made (hypothetically) after the fact.  They were not set up to calculate what the transactions "should" be.  For a flexible program to calculate your next AIM transactions given various SAFE, minimum order, commission, etc., values, see

• The "classic" 10-4-10 Cycle
  (Pages 64-71)
  This is Lichello's main example showing how a stock trader starting with a $10,000 stock trading account and using AIM could get it up to over $1,000,000 given sufficient time and volatility.

• Up-Down-Up
  (Page 75)
  This example illustrates how AIMing a stock that takes a round trip (pricewise) up and down and back to the starting price can result in a profit as compared to no gain at all if were just bought and held.

• Rowe Price New Horizons Fund -- 1966-1975
  (Pages 88-97)
  This example illustrates a mutual fund performance over 2x better by trading it using AIM, rather than just buying and holding the fund, over a ten-year period.

• Dow Jones Industrial Average -- Eight Sluggish Years
  (Pages 100-101)
  AIMing the DJIA shows a moderate profit.  "Buy and Hope" (Buy and Hold) shows a slight loss.  This assumes you could have bought the DJIA index then.  Now you have available exchange traded funds (ETFs).

• New York Stock Index -- 1965-1975 -- A Decade Going Nowhere
  (Pages 106-115)
  AIMing the NYSE index shows a moderate profit.  "Buy and Hope" (Buy and Hold) shows a slight loss.  This assumes you could have bought the NYSE index then.  Now you have available exchange traded funds (ETFs).

• Dow Jones Industrial Average -- 1974 -- "Doomsday Preview"
  (Page 147)
  AIM would have done better (not lost nearly as much) as compared to the "Buy and Hope" (Buy and Hold) of the DJIA in the stock market crash of 1974.  (Illustrative only -- assumes that one could have bought the index.)

  (Page 148)

If you would settle for getting rich steadily and surely (instead of trying for overnight and resulting in never), you need to read the book How to Make $1,000,000 in the Stock Market Automatically!   by Robert Lichello.   Don't let the "hokey" title put you off.   The book was first published in 1977 and is now in its Fourth Revised Edition (December 2001).   It's available on Amazon.com for about $7.00.   [2002-05-29]

In his best-selling book, Lichello details his "Automatic Investment Management" (AIM) method.   AIM is perhaps the most popular and well-known Core Position Trading method with thousands of successful practitioners.   For the basics of Robert Lichello's AIM methodology, see AIM Basics.
