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.

He is making an excellent point.
Using GTR1, From 19570228 to 20250110 13 week quarterly hold 0.15% friction:
No BCC or any other criteria.

SP500 all 500 12.1% CAGR MDD -59.6% AT 0.3% ? seems like a high turnover for holding all 500
SP500 tr(1,252) top 20% 14.3% CAGR, MDD 53.5% AT 1.67
SP500 tr(1,252) top 10% 15.1% CAGR, MDD -58.3% AT 1.96
SP500 tr(1,252) top 5% 15.8% CAGR, MDD -64.2% AT 2.15
SP500 tr(1,252) top 5% HTD top 10% CAGR 16.4% MDD 88%

For a top 5% HTD 10% CAGR looks good at 16.4% but MDD increased to 88%!

Interesting observation, and for holding top 10% there has been 3%more gain, slightly less MDD
than holding the entire SP500.

Ges, Galtassar’s tinyurl link works for me.
