Front Running the List

Front Running the MFI List

I found the inclusion of MNDO to the MFI list last week to be very interesting. It is up about 10% since I bought it last week. It got on the list via getting a market cap over $50m. The most interesting part is the daily trading volume on absolutely no news for a sleepy micro-cap stock. The average # of shares to change hands is about 55,000 daily. On Monday, 276,000 shares were traded. That was easily the most shares traded since May 6th, 2010! And today? 371,000! What is new with MNDO? Nothing except (in my opinion) people discovering it through MFI.

That made me wonder if there are other "gems" out there, just on the cusp?

So here are my top 20 stocks not on the list. Obviously one should think long and hard about buying any of these as my studies have show that these smaller cap stocks have generally been the worst performers of the MFI universe.

Of these stocks, INTT is one I'd pick to enter the list post earnings shortly.
