Just wanted to share a little test I'm using as benchmark:

I selected by screener the biggest 10 companies by Market Cap with these parameters:

• ROIC > 15%
• Net debt / EBITDA LTM <3x
• Total return 5Y >100% (20% CAGR)
• PE NTM <40x
• Analysts Estimated EPS Forwards 5Y CAGR >12%

Equal weighted buying in January 2nd 2024

Results:

$AAPL (+3,13 %)

$MSFT (+1,44 %)

$GOOGL (+1,57 %)

$META (+3,28 %)

$UNH (-1,26 %) (I removed this because the PE LTM was too close to 40)

$NFLX (+2,16 %)

$QCOM (+2,93 %)

$PGR (-1,75 %)

$BKNG (-0,87 %) (I removed this one total return 5Y was too close to 100%)

$LRCX (+4,37 %)

$KLAC (+5,09 %) (added the next one to replace the removed one)

$HCA (-0,31 %) (same)

I know that in January the screener results maybe wouldn't be these, and that most companies are the easy ones, but... 30% returns YTD, without using the 10 best performance of the SP500 YTD ($NVDA (+4,97 %) , $VST (-0,22 %) , $SMCI (-0,23 %) , $HWM (+1,68 %) , $CEG , $TRGP (-0,18 %) , $LLY (-0,3 %) , $IRM (-1,89 %) , $NRG (-0,42 %) , $GDDY (+2,52 %) and no crypto,)

If I reached half of it every year, I will be very proud of myself.

Hope it helps

The price is going down, ok, I’m sure the company is doing business well, nobody will stop feeling bad

Im keeping adding safe actives.

The hospitals will never be empty, it's an opportunity.

The company is making acquisitions sometimes, providing buybacks, it provides value to shareholders.

I don't like the debt level, even though the history shows they know how to manage it.

Price might be a bit hot, but I feel better with these guys.

Anyway, it's the pick 13 in my main wallet. Im expecting at least the same revenue at 2027, 4-8% cagr so as to bit inflation.

Hello getquinners!

It’s been a turbulent start to the week, so let’s see how the rest of it goes :

𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 - 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲🇫🇷:

1. French elections

On Sunday, the French presidential elections will be drawing to a close. This year, there were 12 candidates, including Emmanuel macron and Marine Le Pen. Macron belongs to the liberal political party “La République en Marche” and Le Pen to the right-wing populist party “Rassemblement National”. In 2017 voter participation was at 77%. The two parties with the most votes enter the second round, and it is in this round that the winner is chosen as France’s head of state for five years. Re-election is only possible once. Candidates must have at least 500 signatures from elected representatives, coming from at least 30 departments, including overseas territories. With this, they can both join and represent a party, as well as run independently

The winner of this election will be France’s head of state for a period of 5 years.

2. Stripe jumps into crypto

Online payments unicorn, Stripe, have made the leap into cryptocurrencies by introducing a feature which would let Twitter $TWTR users be paid in stablecoin. Starting today, this feature will be available to a select group of creators on the Twitter platform. Payments will be in $USDC (-0,3 %) and this will be Stripe’s first push into crypto since dropping support for Bitcoin four years ago.

3. Musk secures funding for Twitter takeover attempt

Tesla $TSLA (+6 %) CEO Elon Musk has secured acquisition financing. The billionaire is aiming to take the social media platform Twitter $TWTR private in a deal which would include the “biggest acquisition financing ever put forward for one person”. It would be a majority equity-financed takeover, contrary to most buyouts, as banks do not believe that the San Francisco Twitter $TWTR has enough cash-flow to justify more debt exposure.

4. Coinbase launches beta version of its NFT marketplace

"ATTN: INTERNET: Our beta is officially live!" - that was the tweet announcing Coinbase's NFT marketplace.

Collected NFTs can be presented on profiles and you can connect other wallets like Metamask.

6. 15,000 litres of chemicals leaked at Tesla paint shop in Grünheide
