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.

FWIW, I set up a paper account of the top 10 stocks in the S&P 500 on 1/16/2025.
No selling.
Currently (10/13/2025) that is up 19.25% vs. SPY up 11.74%. XLG up 13.89%

The worst performers are
AMZN -1.13%
TSLA +4.27%
BRK.B +6.98%
AAPL + 7.77%

Getting free data is tricky. For some reason I am allergic to paying for subscriptions.

From VL you can get Timeliness (T1-T5 but not the actual T number), and _order_ of P/B, but not the values. And a few other criteria values.

From barchart you can get P/B values for S&P, Russell 1000/2000, NAS100 stocks.

------------

Looks like the top 10 T1-T5 stocks by P/B (lower is better) are:
AGO
EG
GNW
VSAT
SSRM
MT
IVZ
UNFI
HMC
NAVI
