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.

Define beating the market? CAGR DD SHARPE?

My model has done very well. Covid DD ~18% and since then matched SP. Since 2012 it's about 13% CAGR. BUT I think of it as a comprehensive stock selection. In other words, it replaces having to think about large cap small cap mid cap growth or value. It just picks stocks with factors I deem important.

If I weren't using that model I would use dual momentum with large, mid and small cap growth and value ETFs and select top 2 or 3 with short look back. I just ran it on port visualizer
Portfolio Initial Balance Final Balance CAGR Stdev Best Year Worst Year Max. Drawdown Sharpe Ratio Sortino Ratio Market Correlation
Dual Momentum Model $10,000 $56,464 9.41% 11.94% 35.26% -13.04% -20.56% 0.70 1.14 0.66
Equal Weight Portfolio $10,000 $55,845 9.35% 17.20% 34.47% -36.53% -51.18% 0.53 0.77 0.98
Vanguard 500 Index Investor $10,000 $56,985 9.46% 14.93% 32.18% -37.02% -50.97% 0.59 0.87 1.00

As I tell my kids, 'sometimes good is good enough.' Perfection has a cost. ;-)
