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.

I do not rebalance, let the winners (and, sigh, the occasional loser) run. I don't want to trim the winners, and the losers generally drop off in a month or two.

I run the screen every month, trading on the first. 25 HTD 30.
For April there was only 1 stock that changed. Sold one, bought one. In March, 7 sells and 11 buys. (7 full and 4 underweight)

Despite the HTD, there are sometimes a stock that keeps dropping out and in.

FWIW, here is are my current holdings and their gains. I don't bother to keep track of the trade dates, this is in an IRA at M1 Finance. When a profitable stock is sold, some of its proceeds gets distributed to the stocks that are underweight, so many of the stocks have been bought several times.
