Below are the results of our curated screens through Aug. 21. Following the market rebound of the last couple of weeks, the 1-year returns are looking better for most screens. But only 2 screens - Naz Cons and VG Horse - continue to crush the market on both a YTD and 1-year return basis. 6 out of the 9 screens continue to beat the market on a 10-year CAGR basis.
In case you wander over to this thread again: I have been reading the “GTR1 for Dummies” document. One question I have is–there are a number of links to posts on TMF by Robbie Geary (between 2004 and 2020) that appear to be stale. (I haven’t checked all of them.) Are those lost and gone? Or available somewhere else?
By the way, anyone who would like to chime in with a reply, please do!
hrolfkraki,
Thank you. I assume I have subscribe for SI-pro and download GTR to run the screens? Somehow that is what the screen told me, except for
naz-cons!
Find the latest data update file named with a Friday date. Right now, the Friday file to use is dated 8/16 and named stockinvestorinstall_20240816.exe.
Assuming you are on Windows, if you click on the file name, it will be downloaded to your Downloads folder.
Bring up Windows Power Shell by searching for it in your Windows Taskbar.
Type the following commands into Power Shell.
cd '.\Downloads'
Get-FileHash -Algorithm MD5 .\stockinvestorinstall_20240816.exe
assuming that 816 is the latest available update file that works.
7. Copy and paste the MD5 hash value you see to the field named Passwords in gtr1.
8. Then click the Run Screener button to get the picks,
You may have to go through one or two of the latest Friday files to figure out which one works, because there may be a lag when gtr1 gets updated. Hope this helps
Thank you very much for the guide to running GTR1 !
I have a few more questions, if you don’t mind. I see that AAII has several membership options. There is what you point out–AAII Plus membership.
I also notice that there is a AAII Stock Investor Pro. One year of either seems to be about the same price ($300). Are these distinct subscriptions?
When one signs up and downloads a file, as you suggested, like stockinvestorinstall_20240816.exe, does it bring in the actual data? Or does it simply fetch data from AAII’s server?
I ask because I might want to import the Nasdaq or SP500 data myself (if that’s possible) and play with programming myself. I’ve done some of that with Yahoo data.
Does AAII allow full price-quote datasets to be downloaded? And if so, do you know which subscription one needs for that?
