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.

For those few of you doing weekly trading this is a weekly-traded strategy to buy 5 stocks from the Nasdaq100 with
a CAGR over twice the Nasdaq100's 11.5% and S&P's 12.5%,
with a better beta than both (.8 v. 1.2 for the Nasdaq100 and 1 for the S&P)
and a sharpe of 1 (.975 v. .57 for the Nasdaq100 and .44 for the S&P).
-51% max drawdown is also better than both Nasdaq100's -80.7% and S&P 59.7%.

You take the Nasdaq100's stocks
Narrow to 1 year top 15 momentum.
Narrow by requiring two day rsi under 50.
Narrow by requiring one week return under 1%.
Then keep 5 by lowest ratio of 1 week/1 year return.

I took the old ones I already reported on and was curious if we could get the beta down below the S&P, and did, and still have a good sharpe, drawdown (relatively speaking of course), and excellent CAGR.
