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.

I've been trying to boil this thread down to something I understand and can calculate on my own using BarChart and Stockcharts websites.
Could I get a reality check? - Does the below seem reasonable or am I missing something important?
Many thanks in advance!

Nasdaq-100 stocks:
* Each month, trade on the 2nd to last day of the month, using the previous day's Nasdaq-100 closing prices
* On Trading Day (at or near open), check to make sure that SPY is above its 325 trading day MA. If not, sit in Ultra-Short Bond ETF while out of market
* Keep any existing holdings that are still in the top-12 9-month performance rankings (let winners run)
* Pick/Hold the Top 9-month performance Nasdaq-100 stocks, filling to five positions (Note: 9-12 months performance all seem to work)
-- Don't enter a position on trade day if that particular stock's 5-day share volume (not dollar volume) is less than its 60-day share volume;
-- Alternative to improve recovery time with small loss of CAGR: Skip a pick if its dollar volume ADV20/ADV700 is declining (Question: 20-day ADV < 700-day, right?)
* Buy each month (and continue to own unchanged stocks) as long as SPY is above its 325 MA on trading day.
-- TS Option: Place a 35% trailing stop on each stock
