Kind of a rainy, windy, chilly one here in New England. We will not get out of the 40's today. I am trying out Google Chrome today, they do have a snappy advertising campaign. And the good news is my Indiana Pacers beat the Miami Heat last night!
Just wanted to give everyone a quick update-roo on my portfolios as we near the end of May. The markets continue to steadily rise, a few road bumps here and there - but pretty hard to complain. Overall I am up about 16.9% for the year. That is about 1/2 a point better than the R3K. I am also sitting with a decent pile of cashola, 27% to be precise. While I am enjoying the positive returns, I sleep very well at night knowing I am 27% in cash. Should there be a correction, I can pretty much stand pat and look for bargains.
Dividend Portfolio
This portfolio has been a bit of an under-performer for the year. It is up 12.8%. It has been hurt by FCX, RIG, STO, AAPL and NEM. That is ok, I am comfortable with all my holdings. I have really cut down on my trading and churning of late. That is in part because I have been very busy/distracted, but also because I am at peace with my portfolio. I think all five of those down-trodden holdings are solid. I will simply collect the nice dividends and reinvest them at buying at lower prices. I have no problem with that.

I will actually be accruing my first RIG dividend on the 29th (Wednesday). It will be 56 cents or $700 smackers.
MFI Tranches
I published earlier today that the average open MFI tracking portfolio is ahead by about 4 points over the Russell 3000. I am seeing exactly the same thing. My 20 positions are up by 3.1% on average. That tends to prove that it is easy to over-think, when a dartboard does as well or better than me!

Hmmm, looking at these, I think I missed a 7.5 cent dividend on NVDA. I will go in and fix that. But not in this table right now.
Discretionary Stocks
This portfolio is shrinking a bit. i did sell a bit of my GNW a couple weeks ago.
| Stock | Gain | Cost | Price |
| GNW | 45.7% | 7.10 | 10.35 |
| SD | -4.9% | 5.33 | 5.07 |
| GTAT | 29.2% | 3.39 | 4.38 |
| Grand Total | 18.5% | 5.06 | 5.99 |
SD has been the real stinker. GTAT and GNW have made me a lot. Every week I consider paring my SD position. It is not a "typical" holding for me. It is not cheap by a earnings yield basis or book value basis and they do not pay a dividend. I just think there is embedded value under the right management and I am encouraged by savvy activist investors being in there with me.
