The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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 too have switched to primarily to ETFs using Tactical Asset Allocation for the last few years. But I do replace some ETFs with a stock screen in a risky environment.
Interesting that IJR (IShares Core S&P Small-Cap) has not done well compared to the S&P or even worse compared to the the NASDAQ for the last 3, 5 or 10 years.

But by contrast if you look at the best performing AAII screens for the last 3 years O’Shaughnessy’ Small Cap Growth & Value had a 37.8% CAGR and his
Tiny Titans Screen had a 34.6 CAGR virtually all of it coming in 2021 an 2022. Even the Foolish Small Cap 8 screen had a CAGR of 41.9% for the last 5 years!
That’s a 5.75:1 gain.

Interesting but useless information unless there someone has the methodology to select the best screens for the present time.
