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.

*** 2. Current Universe Size ***

P123 and GTR1 have about the same number of stocks (coverage) on 20251128. GTR1 had 1% higher coverage before using SIP fields, but 4% lower coverage after the salesq1.s > 0 step. SIP is missing a few stocks. I compared the tickers passing the screens, and calculated the Jaccard Index.

  size of:     UnivZero  UnivOne  BaseAlt  Base
GTR1 5465 3784 2902 2790
P123 5402 3927 2977 2843

GTR1 N/A 89 67 66
GTR1 blank 3 0 0


The Jaccard Index is high for these screens, indicating good agreement between the GTR1 and P123 ticker lists.

For example, using the {Base} screen, GTR1 lists 2790 tickers on 20251128, and 2688 of these tickers are on the P123 {Base} list. That leaves 102 {Base} tickers in GTR1 that are not in P123. 66 of these are N/A in GTR1. Some of the others are multiclass tickers. I did not match multiclass tickers. For example, GTR1 has BRK.A and BRK.B, while P123 only has BRK.B.
