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.

The 90% closest to 52-week high, top 100 by ROE, top 25 by 5 Yr sales Growth. 25 HTD30 Trade monthly, no rebalacing.

I don't know the specific post, and I would hate to claim someone else's idea, but that kinda smells like it has my fingerprints on it : )

A tip for a simple screen with a momentum step:
If you have the ability to test it, try it as an SOS of two or more variations of the screen, identical but for the momentum metric. e.g., one using price/high, one using price/low, one using 26 week, etc. The reason this seems to help (in smoothness, returns, or both) is that it does not react as strongly to any specific rhythm or frequency of direction changes in the market.
