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.

Value and Low-Beta screens have done well lately. YEY top 10 monthly 1-year return was 63% (P123) vs. 17% for RSP, with today's picks:

Ticker  cEY  Mo   MktCap  SalesA              Name
ECO 23% 208 2,731 392 Okeanis Eco Tankers Corp.
PBF 28% 204 8,882 29,332 PBF Energy, Inc.
NAT 13% 184 1,512 292 Nordic American Tankers Ltd.
INSW 17% 170 5,139 843 International Seaways, Inc.

UGP 12% 122 8,136 25,483 Ultrapar Participaoes SA
TNK 21% 115 3,190 952 Teekay Tankers Ltd.


That is a strange list of companies, with some hidden high risk. But the total returns have been high (as reported by P123):

  Year   YEY  RSP
2021 45% 31%
2022 21% -12%
2023 16% 14%
2024 35% 13%
2025 11% 11%
2026ytd 74% 14%
