Stock Rank

I had a little spare time today and decided to rank my 36 MFI stocks. I calculated their ROIC & EY per my worksheet. Then I ranked them scoring each one 1 to 36 for each statistic.

26 HW 14% 57% 11 33 44
27 PDS 15% 38% 8 36 44
28 DGX 9% 126% 27 20 47
29 CHCG.OB 7% 193% 35 13 48
30 THO 11% 76% 20 30 50
31 FDG 10% 93% 26 25 51
32 ANF 11% 52% 18 34 52
33 UG 8% 136% 34 19 53
34 ASEI 8% 94% 33 24 57
35 TGB 10% 65% 25 32 57
36 WPCS 9% 79% 29 29 58

While my scores are generally in line with the MFI website, I did find it curious that I rated JTX so high and they were not on their list. KSW still looks super cheap, despite being up 29% for me. VPHM also looks great, I think they are a super buy... though pharmas do have the issue of their drugs coming off patent. I don't remember this being a huge item for VPHM, but it should be checked. And then RAIL is head and shoulders above everyone. That is why I renewed them. I sure it is also why Pabrai owns them.

Conversely, TGB did not score that well - I suppose that is due to 85% run up. I am tempted to sell ANF from time to time. They were "renewed" so I have actually held more than a year. But I am trying to stick to the plan.

Note these scores do not necessarily reflect the rankings of the stocks in a 2000 stock universe. For instance, TGB outranks ANF in the website. It doesn't mean my calcs are wrong. It could be that the outranking of TGB in ROIC is a bigger difference than ANFs outranking in ROIC across 2000 stocks as opposed to 36.

Finally, I was curious to see where MEOH would rank. Randy H on the Yahoo board was pretty bullish on them. They seem interesting with a 2.5% dividend and growing sales. Hmm they'd be middle of the pack. 18th overall. 2nd in EY at 29%, but near the bottom (36th) in ROIC.

What criteria are you using to generate those results through Fidelity, I can't seem to get anything similar.

Ryan, I a post made on the Yahoo Groups Board about how I calculate the stats from Financial statements in Fidelity:

It doesn't show up well here. It is post 6454 in the magicformulainvesting group
