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).
