Before I start, I did want to give a shout out to my Hoosiers. We have been the doormat of the Big Ten in football for more than a decade (and even before that not exactly covered with glory). I feel like we're turning the corner (How's this for openers? Indiana football decimates Indiana State 73-35, and stadium record tumbles)!
Happy Labor Day everyone. I decided to take the fam for a quick three day weekend into the White Mountains. Just a beautiful morning here.
It was a tough week for my portfolio last week. I gave back 2.1%, which was a bit worse than the R3K, which lost 1.9%. Still, am doing quite well, up over 21%.
I did make a few transactions during the week. I sold my SAI and then I added to my warrant positions in HIG-WT (21.40) and BAC-WTA (5.85). Not much else exciting, though I did buy some more AOD with reinvested dividend (the beat goes on).
So I am now at 23% cash. Speaking of transactions, I did an analysis last week to measure whether I would have been better off to have performed no transactions at all in 2013 (ie am I just churning or have they helped)?
I was glad to see that they have helped. If I had stuck with my portfolio at the start of the year, I'd be up just 13% versus my actual of 21%. Some of my early purchases in 2013 of GTAT and GNW helped juice the 2013 returns.
MFI Portfolio
August is in the books and MFI cooked during the month. The table below shows the differential at each month between the sum of my MFI tranches and the R3K:
| Date | Differential |
| -2.20% | |
| -1.78% | |
| -2.26% | |
| -2.23% | |
| -0.43% | |
| 2.00% | |
| 4.75% | |
| 7/1/2013 | 4.29% |
| 8/1/2013 | 6.91% |
| Current | 10.46% |
Pretty eye-opening, the acceleration of the differential by month!
