Ever tried gorgonzola cheese? I did... once. It was really stinky. Not unlike what unfolding this morning at CHKE.
Bad Headlines
This was the first headline I saw this morning on CHKE (CHEROKEE INC Files SEC form 8-K, Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Creation of a Direct Financial Obligatio). I did not like it as this mentioned that CHKE and their Executive Chairman were going different ways. What I really didn't like was the golden parchute, where he got a lump sum payment of $2.2m and his 400,000 shares of CHKE bought at Friday's closing price of $18.15. Those two items add up to about $10m, which is a huge chunk of change for an efficient company like CHKE with a $161m market cap.
The 2nd headline I saw later made me mad as opposed to unhappy (Cherokee Inc. Announces New Chairman and Quarterly Dividend). They cut their dividend from 38 cents to 20 cents. Now this was not a "surprise" to me, as I had always felt their dividend was at risk for a cut given their income levels. But I was mad because it triggered (not surprisingly) a sell-off of about 10%. My question is that if they knew about the resignation and the lowering of the dividend, why should the chairman get paid at $18.15???? He should be taking the same $2 haircut we stockholders are taking, which would hit him by about $800,000!

Top 200 January 29 2011
Another week, another top 200. It was a week that ended a bit rocky. Watching the news all weekend on Egypt has made me more nervous as well. My MFI portfolio was generally crushed on Friday and I went from up over 3% Y-T-D to essentially break-even.
Without further adieu, here is the top 200 this week:
MFI Index
Here is how the MFI Index is faring:
Here is the chart of the index since January 2010:
Mechanical Update
This mechanical portfolios continue to be extremely stagnant. On the top 30 and top 50 lists, there was not a single stock on either list that has not been there sometime in the past 52 weeks.
Monthly Tracking Portfolios
Every month I create a portfolio of 50 stocks over 100m and hold them hypothetically for a year. Here is how the portfolio of January 22nd 2010 fared:
Here is a listing of every portfolio since January 2006:
Here is how you would have fared putting $100,000 in evenly over the first 12 months of 2006 (note I have three approaches, all stocks, "new" stocks to my tracking portfolio in past 12 months and stocks with a yield greater than 2.5%):
