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.

Based on the picks of the updated screen, I checked the top 15 picks at Fidelity today to see what shares would be available to short:

Ticker Shortable Fee (% annualized)
BYND Y 40%
LAZR Y 52%
RSLS Y 192%
IRBT Y 0%
WOLF Y 50%
NBR Y 0%
WULF Y 0%
JELD Y 0%
AMRC Y 0%
CABO Y 0%
STSS Y 105%
KSS N
TROX Y 0%
VSTS Y 0%
DNUT Y 0%

Of the 15, 14 are shortable, but many at a very high fee (Hard To Borrow cost). However, 9 of the 15 are available to short at no cost, which honestly was a bit better than I thought it might be.

I plan to continue to research this screening idea a bit, and if I find anything else of interest, I'll be sure to post.

Appreciate everyone's input - and especially lizgdal for the screen definition, and recent picks.
