I don't follow the AIM that closely as I bought most of my juniors on the TSX. I know about one or two that my brother owns and they have been hammered just as bad, even the good companies. There is no hiding place on the AIM... for example:-

We also have the OFEX which is a step down from the AIM market so perhaps some of the very small start up exploration companies begin there (I'm just speculating though...)?
