The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" 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 speny a bit of time over the last few days going over a bunch of these screens that have been discussed in the last several weeks.

A thing that pops out is that we are basically looking at a few ways of tilling the same ground. You don't really need to do that.

Case in point:
Screen 1: Nasdaq 100, 1 year momentum divided by 63 day downside volatility.
Screen 2: Russell 1000, 1 year momentum divided by 20 day Average True Range.
Of the current picks,
Top 10 had 6 stocks in common.
Top 7 had 4 stocks in common.
Top 5 had 3 stocks in common.

One screen's universe is the Nasdaq 100.
One screen's universe is the Russell 1000.

I would say that all these screens that use the Nasdaq 100 universe are going to pick almost all the same stocks. Because whether it looks at 9-12 month momentum or where the current price sits in the range of 52 week high/low, these are just different ways of looking at the same thing.

AI isn't going to help us here. The data is the data, however you choose to view it.
