Update of Tracking Portfolios

As my readers know, I create a tracking portfolio once a month tracking the top 50 MFI stocks over $100m in market cap.  My approach does require some manipulation at the start and at the end, but otherwise it is pretty automated.  It does rely on pulling dividends from Yahoo Finance and stock splits as well.  I am a bit worried that with all the special dividends this year end, that Yahoo Finance may miss some, and I am not sure I have the desire to look them all up.  If people know of any special dividends on MFI stocks this year end, could you please let me know?  DLB is the one I know about. It does appear to me that one is working fine.

I do track the year end monthly portfolio more intensely as I use it for my uncopyrighted MFI Index.  Here is how it looks so far, with a week to go (it is trailing the Russell Index by about 6 points):
