There have been a few opportunities to make money elsewhere on AIM this year,but it has consisted of fleeting bursts upwards than as people snatch desperately at it,they go right back down again.With some exceptions,you might know of some.This shows we aren't missing any real AIM push up as yet.Chasing the rainbow really or sitting in shares is your choice.It's highly difficult.Whenever how long it takes,enough other shares do well,you'll get plenty of cash-richer people casting about for undervalued shares to put newfound cash into.At present the cash is coming from reserves not these types of gains,as there's hardly any- as above.So volume is low.I can't give any timescale,like the AFE directors it has been a case of going on for years without taking income,but sticking in there.When it eventually comes it will be obvious,you won't need to snatch at shares as you do now,monentum builds and newcomers move in and out.A new AFE investor might come in at 2p and out at 10p for example after making money somewhere else.Then off again.That's how a fairer market than the present vicious one in AIM might emerge someday.I'm highly interested in watching the peaks on the FTSE/DJ and SP500.Where do they go,and what then for AIM ? At least (though Buffet never liked miners) we have his methods to copy.
