Quick Update from MCO

Traveling with the fam over Easter Break in Orlando. Have a short time here at the airport and thought I'd punch in a quick update... it has been a great vacation. WAIT, not that kind of update, this is the MFI Diary! Seriously though, took the first hot air balloon ride of my life yesterday and I highly recommend it. Just spectacular.

First, a bit on the KHD/TTT + KWG thing. It has worked out very well thus far. What I am doing is I code everything uder TTT (the "new" KHD) and then add in 1 share of KWG.F for every 3.5 shares of TTT (that is the ratio that did end up in my Fidelity Account). As my readers will recall, KHD was at 14.90 a couple days before the split up. Combined the pieces are now north of $17. It seems to be "unlocking" the value as promised. Here are my current holding and how they are doing:

TTT	81%
CBI	82%
WILC	179%
SHE	60%

Then here are all the stocks I have ever bought using the "mechanical" approach. As you can see, I have steadily outperformed the Russell 3000:

No regrets selling JTX after last earnings, at least I got about $2.25 a share.

No new stocks came on this weekend to the mechanical portfolios that I track (new stocks to top 30 or top 50 in past 52 weeks). It has been a stagnant list of late. Here are the open stocks in top 50 (I need to update some dividends).
