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.

The difficulty with Advance/Decline studies is different sources use a different number of stocks even though it is fo the same exchange. This was discussed with NH/NL calculations. WSJ has different numbers than Barchart that is different from other sources.

Using GTR1 and the following steps:

excd.a = 1
styp.a = 10!11!18!48
dspo(1) >= 1
trp(1,1)<0 (<0for decline, >0 for advance)

and using the count feature there have been 102 times when the sum of the last 10 day advances divided by the sum of the last 10 day declines exceed 2. Seventy occurred from 19441231 onwards.
