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.

I do not rebalance, let the winners (and, sigh, the occasional loser) run. I don't want to trim the winners, and the losers generally drop off in a month or two.

I run the screen every month, trading on the first. 25 HTD 30.
For April there was only 1 stock that changed. Sold one, bought one. In March, 7 sells and 11 buys. (7 full and 4 underweight)

Despite the HTD, there are sometimes a stock that keeps dropping out and in.

FWIW, here is are my current holdings and their gains. I don't bother to keep track of the trade dates, this is in an IRA at M1 Finance. When a profitable stock is sold, some of its proceeds gets distributed to the stocks that are underweight, so many of the stocks have been bought several times.
