Mechanical Updates September 28

With my computer back, I'll give a quick mechanical portfolio update while wearing my Tony Romo jersey and watching the Cowboys/Panthers. As a reminder to new readers, a stock qualifies for my mechanical portfolios (I have two versions, a top 30 and a top 50) if it is new to the screen in the past year. It then gets held for a year and tracked versus the S&P 500. I have been doing this since January 2008.

Oh, I also meant to mention that another MFI stock was bought out today. ACS is being acquired by Xerox (Xerox to buy ACS in $6.4 billion deal). It was one of those deals with good news and bad news for ACS.
  • The good news is that ACS is being bought by XRX
  • The bad news is that ACS is being bought by XRX.
The stock ended up well short of the advertised $6.4b at under $5.3b today. The reason? XRX dropped 15%. Nothing like getting stock that is losing value.

But the deal (along with a couple others) I believe it what is keeping the market stoked. Look for MFI stocks to continiue to outperform as many of them are starting to look like takeover candidates.


Here is the top 30, open stock:
