Happy New Year! - Revised YE Table

I hope everyone had a happy & healthy New Year. I know we had a good one. Actually watched the ball drop. Now on TV we're going to start seeing all the resolution ads:

1. diets - Jenny Craig
   
2. exercise = Ballys
   
3. stop smoking - nicotine patches

I also feel a little abashed at needling Wall Street for being closed 4 straight days. I now understand they're closed on Tuesday in honor of Gerald Ford, may he rest in peace.

Seems apropos to show the most recent list to start the year (I own 13 on this list in my MFI portfolio):

I did find a slight mistake in my year-end tables. I have been saying my % gain on sold positions was 23%. It is actually 18% as I had failed to include the PTSC fiasco. It didn't change my actual total numbers. Here is my new and improved way of looking at my holdings. I now include the date the stock was bought as I'll be starting to sell as I come up upon my 1st year.
