Top 200 List - May 31st 2013

Top 200 List - May 31st, 2013

As my readers know, I like to replicate the official MFI site (Magic Formula Investing) every now and then.  I add a few extra elements such as (1) country, (2) yahoo yield, (3) my calculated stats, (4) ranking and (5) 200 stocks.

I think my approach is pretty darned accurate.  I use Compustat as well and formulas that were devised by a team on the Yahoo Groups board and detailed in my blog (MFI Diary: The Calculation).  I also cross reference my list with the official top 50 and they are almost always within my top 100 (I have more on my list as I do not exclude some stocks the official site excludes, such as some stocks in other countries).

Be aware that this is all formula driven, the dividend yields should definitely be verified as they come from Yahoo Finance which is not always reliable.  The main financials (from Compustat) have seemed very reliable to me.
