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.

I can't figure out why this screen works

My 2 cents thoughts on why it works. It isn’t screening for the normal financial factors it’s looking for the characteristics of the large cap companies that are swallowing their smaller competitors.
This week picks META, NVIDIA, PDD, Broadcom, Netflix, Palto Alto NetWorks, Crowdstrike are not that different from the ROE_Cash which has a similar bias for total Cash less LTDebt which favors the larger companies. GOOGL, META, TSLA, MSFT, CISCO, COST

Nytimes, Bloomberg and others have also commented on this trend.
