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.

Summary: 3 Nas100 momentum screens

Three different momentum screens on the Nasdaq 100. No timing.
RS-52: One year momentum (relative strength)
PHL-52: Current price within the 52 week high and low.
sum-of-ranks: The sum of the RS-52 & PHL-52 rankings.

The purpose here is to see what results can realistically be expected from an investable real-world portfolio, and not to tweak the numbers in order to show a high CAGR that is unlikely to happen.

Statistics are calculated from 2006-01-03 to 2025-11-28. 19 years and 11 months.
The start date was purposely chosen to avoid the dot-com boom and subsequent bust.
