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 (-0,67 %)

$MSFT (-1,85 %)

$GOOGL (-2,03 %)

$META (-3,79 %)

$UNH (-0,68 %) (I removed this because the PE LTM was too close to 40)

$NFLX (-0,67 %)

$QCOM (-7,2 %)

$PGR (+1,27 %)

$BKNG (-2,47 %) (I removed this one total return 5Y was too close to 100%)

$LRCX

$KLAC (-9,8 %) (added the next one to replace the removed one)

$HCA (-0,65 %) (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 (-7,42 %) , $VST (-6,6 %) , $SMCI , $HWM (-3,85 %) , $CEG , $TRGP (-0,81 %) , $LLY (-0,25 %) , $IRM (-8,36 %) , $NRG (-2,49 %) , $GDDY (+1,89 %) and no crypto,)

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

Hope it helps
