Weekend Update - August 26 2012

Beautiful Sunday here in the Nutmeg State.  Can't say I am crazy about the nickname of my state being "Nutmeg".  Not that the "Hoosier" State was necessarily better.

Things are good as we roll towards Labor Day.  As people may have noted, I have moved a bit more into cash through the summer rally that gets no respect.  Let me give you a few statistics, first on my dividend portfolio:

All-in-all, doing well, though I have watered down the annual dividend a bit with some of my recent sales (PM, LNC and SBS). Still, solid performance, up 18% on the year (I show the Russell 3k up about 13%). My open stocks are winning by over 7 points and all stocks are winning by 4%. Four points doesn't sound like a lot per year, but compounded it can start to add up to real money.

Funny, I am emotionally happy to be back in MFI.  I just think for me it is very important to not meddle, but rather let the formula work and try to make solid picks at the outset.  I do think my intent of picking stocks above $500m in market cap will lift me out of some of the volatility that ate me away before. Then I do have 2 of my 5 stocks (MSFT and NSU) that qualify for the dividend side of MFI.  So we will see how it goes and in a month I will start thinking about my mid November Tranche.

Happy Sunday everyone!
