Free Advice is Worth What You Pay For

At the start of August, I mentioned that I was toying with the idea of going back into MFI with dividend/MFI stocks.  I then listed the current group of stocks that would have "qualified" and commented that I could not hold my nose and buy some of those stocks.

Well, it has turned out so far that it would have been a very savvy buy.  The average stock is up 9.5%.

Ticker	Mcap	Dividend	Price	Yield	Initial Price	Change
GNI	105	15.00	73.75	20.3%	68.40	7.8%
PDLI	927	0.45	7.31	6.2%	6.68	9.4%
PETS	195	0.60	10.24	5.9%	9.50	7.8%
STRA	862	4.00	65.36	6.1%	69.98	-6.6%
HRB	4,674	0.75	16.42	4.6%	15.60	5.3%
STX	11,737	1.28	32.65	3.9%	29.96	9.0%
SAI	3,981	0.48	11.99	4.0%	11.44	4.8%
MANT	773	0.84	22.30	3.8%	20.25	10.1%
GME	2,121	0.60	20.62	2.9%	15.75	30.9%
RTN	18,230	2.00	57.02	3.5%	54.28	5.0%
NSU	678	0.10	4.34	2.3%	3.33	30.3%
JCOM	1,356	0.86	29.03	3.0%	29.55	-1.8%
MSFT	246,485	0.80	30.39	2.6%	29.19	4.1%

Then if you toss in the next two stocks on my list (BKE should have been on the list as the Yahoo "official" yield is always too low due to rgeular "special" dividends), the return jumps to 11.0%!
