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.

You can also use their figure for ROE latest quarter, which is I think the trailing four quarters (?), with very similar results in backtest.

I think it's just the number for the latest quarter, so typically it's a bout 1/4 of the annual figure. And I've found some inexplicable garbage in the quarterly numbers, so I've gone to using the annual ROE as you have.

As for which version (Value Line or SIpro or other) is best, I can't comment.
I have not really looked at the results of the SIpro version which is in the regular postings.


The SIPro version is no longer being posted or produced, since GTR1 is broken. The rankings that I post weekly now are VL based.
