01How the bot thinks
Every Nasdaq 100 company is ranked on what the playbook cares about. Its long score, for how well a company fits:
The closest fits to the checklist: high return on equity, fat margins, fast earnings growth. Score near 100.
A separate short score hunts the worst fits: low return on equity, thin or negative margins, slow or falling earnings. Re-ranked every quarter, at the close. Loss-makers are allowed long.
How far a company sits from the checklist: low return on equity, thin or negative margins, slow or falling earnings.
02Model output
Long: #1 of 100 on Bill Ruane's long-minus-short score (0.876).
Short: #1 of 50 shorts on Bill Ruane's long-minus-short score (-0.973).
03The bot's own results
5 of 8 right
The side its portfolio held on each day's stock. The bot doesn't pick: it holds all 100.
04The full book
Equal weight: $1,000 a position. Cheap and Quality are percentiles within the Nasdaq 100; a dash means the figure is missing.
05Method and limits
The 100 Nasdaq 100 companies. Anything outside it can't be held.
Long score: Return on equity 3, Net margin 2, Earnings growth 2, Revenue growth 1, Earnings yield 1, Cash-flow yield 1. Short score: Return on equity 2, Net margin 2, Earnings growth 2, Revenue growth 1, Earnings yield 1. Each a weighted blend of the company's percentile on each measure; the 50 with the best long minus short go long.
Always 50 long and 50 short. No market or rate bets. Changes fill at the next close.
Some tickers are missing figures and sit mid-pack on that measure. This profile is a draft and has not been reviewed yet.
Modeled on Bill Ruane's published approach. It is not Bill Ruane, and its picks are not Bill Ruane's. A free game on real closing prices, not investment advice.
