The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" 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.

TAZ, I ran your screen from 1/1/2002. You didn’t specify the universe of stocks you are considering but:

Using SP500 Large cap The Screen did 9.88% vs SP500 9.61 there were few stocks passing before mid 2011
Using SP1500 the screen 10.73% SP1500 9.58 still few stocks chosen before mid 2011
Using P123’s EasyTrade universe Screen 12.54% Total Market 9.87%, no stocks chosen before early 2002.

A standard P123 example screen Weighted Value might be a good example to start with. Over the same 2002 till present using the SP1500 universe it has a CAGR of 18.24% compared to the SP1500 9.58 holding 20 stocks.

I’m taking an investing time out for a few months but within a couple of months be committed to using Machine Learning for stock selection.
