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.

Eric: “What, though, are the results strictly post-discovery: 20000101 to 20241107?”
Just put a starting date 20000103 in lizgdal’s G-Score high GTR1 link and I got:

CAGR 11.6, GSD 20.6, UI 9.2, SAWR 9.9%

In the paper fundamental equity analysis “Man+Machine – The evolution of fundamental scoring models and ML implications”.
Evolution of Fundamental Scoring Models | CFA UK
They state:
“Despite their many weaknesses and newly developed scoring models challenging their dominance flourishing over the last two decades, both Piotroski’s F-Score and Mohanram’s G-Score have not been ditched by investors. A recently published study by Amor-Tapia and Tascon in 2016 tests multiple scoring models using four different European stock markets. Surprisingly, Mohanram’s G-Score and Piotroski’s F-Score were the only ones surviving an out-of-sample backtesting delivering statistically significant alpha despite the other rejected models being developed at a later date.”
You referenced P123’s Yuval Taylor post with his version of a G Score equation above which you can use in their ranking system or a simulation. But P123 Also has a Mohanram GScore Screen.
I just ran a Backtest using P123's GScore Screen for equities in the SP1500 from 1/3/2002.
25 stocks, 4 week rebalance, 0.25% slippage, CAGR 10.7% vs S&P 9.4% nice but not exceptional.
However almost all the outperformance came in the last 15 years.
