Weekend Update

Weekend Update + New Top 200 List

Another week in the books. I know that you, gentle reader, want to know how is it going?

  • MFI Index - despite being down 1.4% for the week, the MFI Index is up 12.9% on the year versus a mere 7.7% gain for the Russell 3000.
  • My Dividend Portfolio was down a mere 0.4% on the week. That was impressive as NSU was down 40% on the week, but MNDO was up 16% and PM was up 6%.
  • My mechanical portfolios have both turned into the black for open stocks.
  • The most recent six monthly tracking portfolios are all beating the benchmarks.

Earnings Headlines

PM - They had another great quarter (Philip Morris International Outruns Estimates Again). Not only did they say 2011 was good, but they were bullish on 2012, up 10 to 15%. I took a look back at my tobacco stocks I have owned, PM, MO and RAI and while you can correctly question the social correctness of tobacco companies, they have performed VERY well. Another one that I almost bought last Spring was LO (a member of many of my "MFI dividend" portfolios) is up 64% since the end of February.

ASTX - while not in my dividend portfolio, I did still own them as an MFI holdover. I commented a couple weeks ago when they shot up 20% in a single day on high late-day trading whether someone "knew" something. Well clearly whatever someone knew was wrong. The stock has dropped from $2.80 to $2.04 as the FDA publically commented on a drug trial (Astex Pharma confirms the FDA's ODAC Votes to not Support Benefit/Risk Profile of DACOGEN in Acute Myeloid Leukemia).

Marsh, where is CMTL? It's on the official site -- you're making me nervous :)

It isn't on the 50 stocks over $50m list I pulled up. I have them at #205.

My bad -- I'm always looking >$500MM. Thanks for the update.

Marsh, do you still post the latest file you use for the top 200 run? I'd love to check it out!

Thanks!

sleepswell - if you shoot me an email, I can give you the entire file. But I am not planning to post the entire file regularly (not even sure where to post... do you know a spot associated with blogger?)
