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.

The problem with keeping the name Tech_Growers, but adding in the other industries, is that it's possible for non-tech companies to (now) show up on the list.

I hear what you're staying. However, non-tech companies were already showing up in the "classic" Tech Growers screen. For example, the TG list from back in June included GCT, TOST, and MELI.

These would now be excluded if we used the new industry classification. So if we go back to including these "non-tech" companies, we would be more in keeping with the picks from the classic Tech Growers screen. That's why we don't need a Tech Growers Plus screen if the intent is to continue to have picks similar to the classic screen.

That being said, it's because of lohill's generosity of time and effort, that we get to see these screen listings. So I will defer to whatever decision he makes.
