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.

Can someone post the yearly returns for this strategy or a version like it (by year)?
I'm curious if astronomical returns in this wave and prior waves drove all or most of it ...
In other words, how consistently does it produce positive returns by year.


Asking for a firehose to take a sip of water from. ;-)

Here is what you really want to see. The rolling N-year CAGR returns beginning every month and not just January. For a few numbers of years. There are a lot of bad 1-year periods but fewer bad 3-year periods. And the bad years are really bad.

No timing, 52 week momentum Nasdaq 100 stocks, top 10 HTD 12, 21 day hold, worst cycle. Data from GTR1.
