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.

Strategy	CAGR	Beta	Sharpe	Sortino	Ulcer	Max DD	MDD recovery	Longest other recovery
Timed Top 1 16.5% 0.88 0.54 0.63 45.7 -73.6% 4,945 days 1,596 days
Timed Top 5 23.8% 0.84 0.78 0.92 20.5 -55.1% 176 days 1,782 days
Timed Top 10 19.2% 0.79 0.73 0.85 18.2 -50.9% 175 days 1,532 days
QQQ 10.2% 1.19 0.50 0.66 43.7 -83.0% 5,446 days 716 days
SPY 8.2% 1.00 0.51 0.65 16.0 -55.2% 1,773 days 2,407 days

So 5 stocks bought the last day of the month and held 1 month, paying .1% spreads, and on your next trade date exiting the market if SPY<325day SMA, is the best of the tested #1, or #1-5, or #1-10 9 month momentum stocks in the Nasdaq100 as it changed over time, within the database I have (gtr goes back further).

You would have doubled the indices with lower beta, higher Sharpe ratio, smaller max drawdown, and faster recovery from the max drawdown.
