Replying to Mark19
But 147 stocks is too many to buy. How do you narrow it down to a manageable level?

ROE_RevGr5_GMI-Quality

Attemped 3 month test run as follows:(too short of course for any real "MI" data)
First Selected top 100 by Sum of Ranks
Second Buy top 25 by highest ROE
Replaced drop outs in a "My Fidelity Solo FidFolios" equal weighted account every 5 weeks

Sum of Ranks:
Quality
RevGr(5y)
RoE (TTM)

But that did have a lot of turnover.
The 25 was chosen for the test because that is the chart limit of symbols allowed(used for data export).
One year hold may be a better choice.
