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.

Elann and RAMc, If you can give me a Radiscript definition for that screen, I should be able to get the picks by using either Radiscreen or the program I wrote called Screen Picks

Here is boris's version he posted on 7/13/20 except using SP500 & 600. Reviewing boris's post I just noticed that from way on back I had played with several versions of the final sort. For a while the preferred sort was (cash-debt)/market_cap which is what I posted. But boris's version dropped the market cap devisor.
I should have looked at the version I have been using because I wasn't dividing by market cap.
The good news, I just backtested the screen w/o a market cap divisor. Much Improved:
