Quick! Take A Picture!

When I went to Indiana University, we had a terrible football team.  We were (actually still are) regularly trounced by Michigan and Ohio State.  They once asked our football coach (Lee Corso back then, glad he found a gig at ESPN) if he had ever read Woody Hayes' book "Winning Football".  Corso's response was , "no, but I saw the movie!"

In that same vein, one rare year, we were beating Ohio State 7-0 at the end of the first quarter.  Corso actually had a photographer snap a photo of the scoreboard.

I feel like that with my MFI portfolio.  I have steadily been trailing the indices.  With 15 stocks, it can be difficult to catch up.  Just 2 months ago I was down over 2 points.  But guess what?  Today I am leading!  if only by a 100th of a percent!  It was worthy of a photograph.
