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.

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.
