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.

As a nervous owner of NVDA I have been wondering about selling before the earnings report. My record on previous occasions has not been good. Holding sometimes when selling would have been better and selling when holding would have been better.

Using GTR1, I have tried to see on average the best course of action for NAS100 stocks. The time between earnings reports is not constant, so I choose to sell if it has been greater than 82 days since the last report and by after 3 days.

Buy and hold all 100 NAS100 stocks equal weight since 20000403 (the date GTR! has the first data on earnings date).

CAGR 9.3%
SAWR 4.15%

Selling if the earnings date was more than 82 days ago and buying 3 days afterwards.

CAGR 7.36%
SAWR 3.41%

I guess I will hold NVDA through the earnings day.
