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 don't know how VL could be that far off. Maybe a transcription error?"

It appears to be because of the wild swing in shareholders' equity at PRU. ... it looks like they are treating some part of the GAAP net income as exceptional and therefore to be excluded.


There are ~800 stocks in the Russell 1000 & 2000 that have a VL timeliness rating. You cannot realistically do that sort of digging into all the potential candidate stocks.
I think you have to decide upon a decent data source and go with it.

I think I'll watch this screen for a while, run a paper portfolio for the next few month, also see how much the picks change from month to month.
