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.

If you don't mind, how did you reproduce the list with the free version? I have access to it as well.

Were the results similar to the paid?


These are the notes from a year ago. Apologies if it makes no sense.

Screener

Ranks & Ratings Timeliness - All 5 # Stocks 1457
Annual Ratios Dividend Yield 0% or above # Stocks 965
Annual Ratios % Return on Shareholder's Equity Top 30% # Stocks 292

Make these any:
Balance Sheet
Cash & Market Securities # Stocks 269
Long Term Debt - From 0 # Stocks 250
No Long Term Debt # Stocks 19

Display 500
Sort by Name - IMPORTANT!
Copy header and drag down

In Excel:
Paste Special Unicode Text
Sort by names to remove spaces
Fix the units for Long Term Debt
Add column 'Cash - LTD'
Sort by 'Cash - LTD'

IIRC you do this twice, once for 'Long Term Debt - From 0' and once for 'No Long Term Debt'.

This produced a list similar to Jim's but not the same.
The top 32 of the 40 stocks were the same as Jim's with one exception, and it was clearly an error in the data.
The 8 missing stocks didn't make my list of 269 stocks.

Good luck!
