I will keep looking for S&P500 strategies.
The characteristics of the universe of S&P500 stocks is very different from that of the universe of the Nasdaq100. I'm sure there are relatively simple screens of the S&P500 that will beat SPY event even though fall behind Nas100 screens. But beating SPY by even 4+ points is nothing to sneeze at.
OTOH, the list of the top 16 stocks of the SP & NAS screens I recently posted, 10 of the top 16 stocks were in both screens.
The sumofranks Nasdaq100 strategy remains the winner at 30% cagr 10/93 forward and and average year 26% with lots of other nice stats in the timed version.
Much as I would like to believe 26%+, I just can't.
Demosthenes (384-22 BC): “Nothing is easier than self-deceit. For what each man wishes, that he also believes to be true.” In other words, there’s a powerful tendency to believe that which could make one rich if it were true.

But... the Nas100 screen I've run since Jan 2025 is currently sitting at 58.9% CAGR. Scary thought: Does this mean it is likely to lose big over the next few years so as to bring the CAGR down to ~20-25%?
