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'd be in favor of keeping the screen name as Tech Growers, and not adding a separate screen. If you look at the list of "outliers", they are all primarily tech driven. For example, DUOL, TOST, RBLX and GLBE built businesses around their softwareL to serve the industries, like Retail, that they're classified under. Amazon did the same.I would classify all of them as Tech, and would want to see them included in Tech Growers.

The tickers you mention are no longer on the Tech_Growers screen because of the identified Industry issue. We are trying to come up with a solution to keep those kinds of companies on the screen. The problem with keeping the name Tech_Growers, but adding in the other industries, is that it's possible for non-tech companies to (now) show up on the list. The screen user thinks they is getting Tech, but unless they check the company specifics, they may not be. By adding a Tech-Growers_Plus screen, it alerts the potential user to check, a caveat emptor type of thing.
