Running the same GTR backtests, Sp500 rrs(1,252) top 10, HTD 12, for 20 days and same for 252 days,
top 10 is CAGR 16.0% vs. 13.8%
Top 5 is CAGR 19.7% vs. 14.1%
Nasdaq100,
top 10 23.6% vs. 14.5%
LTCG tax rate is 15%
Sort term rate is same as ordinary income rate, generally for most of us, 22% or 24%.
12% if you are broke. But broke people don't generally invest. ;-)
So, which is better? 15% tax on 13.8% or 22% tax on 16.0%.
