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 (-0,07%)

$MSFT (-0,15%)

$GOOGL (-0,67%)

$META (-2,33%)

$UNH (+1,57%) (I removed this because the PE LTM was too close to 40)

$NFLX (-1,05%)

$QCOM (-0,19%)

$PGR (+0,74%)

$BKNG (-0,28%) (I removed this one total return 5Y was too close to 100%)

$LRCX

$KLAC (-2,65%) (added the next one to replace the removed one)

$HCA (+0,44%) (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 (-0,8%) , $VST (-0,3%) , $SMCI , $HWM (-2,96%) , $CEG , $TRGP (-0,43%) , $LLY (+2,04%) , $IRM (+3,37%) , $NRG (-0,81%) , $GDDY (+0,88%) and no crypto,)

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

Hope it helps
