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.

Comparison between similar screens.

Two similar screens, using the Nasdaq 100.
First is ranking by "price/(52wkHIGH + 52wkLOW)", top 10 HTD 15
Second is "52 week relative strength", top 10 HTD 12
Recast monthly, equal balance of only the new picks.

The latest picks at end of November, 7 of the 10 stocks were in both screens. Probably not a huge surprise, but much more of an overlap than I expected.

The backtests show the first has about 21.7% CAGR and the second about 20.0%.
The first has a bit lower GSD, and a bit higher turnover.

The relative performance is the same with starting dates of 1990, 2002, 2015 with end date of 10/10/2025.

Using the S&P 500 the relative performances are the same, just with lower CAGR.
