Not exactly a home run, though thankfully I invested less $ in CHCG. I have bought some new stocks. As I mentioned in my blog earlier this week, I bought TNAV and FLL, and then Friday I decided to get way defensive with PM, my second (along with RAI) tobacco stock. So here are my current holdings, it should be quiet the rest of the month.

Finally, CHKE reported earnings mid day Friday right in the midst of the huge sell-off. I did not think their numbers were all that great, nor did the street (Cherokee Announces 1st Quarter Fiscal 2011 Financial Results). But if you subscribe to my dividend stock theory, probably a good time to buy as the dividend is now 7.8% (that was a driver behind my PM purchase... a 5.2% yield).

Hi,
could you explain how you follow MFI rules in your portfolio?
I see you have currently 51 stocks (i.e. much more than the 20-30 suggested), and that you buy 1 stock almost every 1-2 weeks (instead of 5-7 stocks every 2-3 months on the same day) and that you sell stocks even if you havent hold them for 1 year.
Thanks
I clearly do not follow the rules. I buy more stocks as I found individual stocks in the smaller portfolio of stocks was too volatile for me. With the larger basket, a single stock has a much smaller impact, which suits my investing appetite. I do still hold for a year. I do not think that my approach should materially change results from the book, which actually picked 25-30 stocks a month.

Why do some of your return percentages not calculate correctly, such as PFE and BKE, but others work fine?
I expect it is dividends, I do not show them in the table.
