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.

Is there a trading platform that would make doing something like this easier and possibly automated?

M1.com can do this.
You just add/remove the stocks from the "pie" that the "portfolio" uses, then select all and click "equal weight" in the "pie". It doesn't take a list, though, you have to manually remove & add.

Ignore their weird terminology. ;-)
The next trading session they effectuate all the trades in all the portfolios that use that pie. By default it will not sell any existing stocks that are over-weight.

============================================
One tip: do NOT use an up to date list of S&P 500 constituents as your "universe" of eligible stocks. The easiest free money in the world is using the list from 6-12 months earlier, which means you include things that have been ejected and skip those that are new entrants. If you duplicate the whole index with its own weights (but a stale list) you'll outperform the official index by quite a bit.

But using our screens instead of "duplicate the whole index", how many of those added & removed stocks would even pass our filters? Generally we are only picking 5-10-20 stocks.
