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.

Tails,

This is the Radiscript that is used to pick the Tech_Growers.

Define {Tech_Growers}
Uses [Price] [Market Cap Q1] [Price Change 26 week] [Sales-Growth from Q5 to Q1] [Industry]
Deblank [Price] [Market Cap Q1] [Price Change 26 week] [Sales-Growth from Q5 to Q1] [Industry]
Keep :[Price]>5
Keep :[Market Cap Q1]>1000
Keep :[Sales-Growth from Q5 to Q1] > 30
--Keep :OR([Industry]="57201010 - IT Services & Consulting",[Industry]="57201020 - Software",[Industry]="57201030 - Online Services")
Keep :OR([Industry]="451020 - IT Services",[Industry]="451030 - Software",[Industry]="502030 - Interactive Media & Services")
Sort Descending [Price Change 26 week]
Top :25
End

That last Keep statement is the one that that eliminates the stocks that no longer qualify. The statement right above it (commented out) is the one that was used before SI Pro switched their sector/industry definitions. In either case VTEX looks like the only one qualified to pass. Adding "Ground Transportation, "Financial Services", and "Distributors" could be added but I'm sure many undesirable stocks would then also get by.
