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.

One year GTR1 backtest results for standard SIPro screens (monthly hold 5) are below. Sorted by CAGR.
(From 20230707 to 20240708, 21 day hold, 0.4% friction, 5 deep.)
The short screen results have no friction and are held long (negative results are better).
I included blends of the short screens (20% short screen combined with 80% S&P 500 market cap weight index).

Average of all 51 long screens underperformed the S&P 500 indexes, but outperformed the S&P 1500 benchmark. There was a wide range of results, with CAGR ranging from -38 to 67. (Standard deviation of CAGR for the 51 screens was 20.)
