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.

P123’s Ultimate at $200 /mo has 20 Y of backtests,

Wow.

And it's not 20 years of backtest, I believe. It's back to 1999.

I was grandfathered in from my stockscreener123 account at $20/mo, when they folded SS123 into P123. I could backtest all the way back to 1999.

Cancelled it a few years later because it wasn't worth $20/mo to me.
They were pushing to get you to sign up for blackbox screens that other subscribers had invented. At an additional cost.

Their database seemed to be really really good, totally free of survivorship bias. But $2400/year is a lot.
