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 (+1,71 %)

$MSFT (+0,07 %)

$GOOGL (+1,96 %)

$META (-0,09 %)

$UNH (-5,16 %) (I removed this because the PE LTM was too close to 40)

$NFLX (-0,25 %)

$QCOM (+2,05 %)

$PGR (-2,96 %)

$BKNG (-0,44 %) (I removed this one total return 5Y was too close to 100%)

$LRCX

$KLAC (+2,85 %) (added the next one to replace the removed one)

$HCA (-2,73 %) (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 (+2,84 %) , $VST (+1,04 %) , $SMCI , $HWM (+0,22 %) , $CEG , $TRGP (+1,49 %) , $LLY (+0,43 %) , $IRM (-0,28 %) , $NRG (+0,93 %) , $GDDY (-1,66 %) and no crypto,)

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

Hope it helps
