The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Hello.

I'm not an expert in GTR1 and I would like to inquire about the possibility of conducting a study that might be interesting.

Could GTR1 be used with a specific universe, providing an Excel file with weekly picks from the past 15 years?

Let me explain further: I follow a guru who publishes a list of stocks every week. I have this list of stocks week by week in an Excel table for the past 15 years. I would like to perform two types of backtests:

1.- Check the result of buying and selling all the stocks every week in equal proportion, in order to compare it with another benchmark index.

2.- Apply a simple 'screen' to that universe of stocks to see if applying a screener to the universe could yield interesting results.

Please, could GTR1 be fed with that Excel table containing weekly picks from the past 15 years?

Do you know of any other backtester with which I could do this?

Thank you very much.
