Funny How That Works

I took a look today at my open MFI monthly tracking portfolios.  They continue to smoke.  The average open portfolio is up 21.7% versus the Russell 3000 being up 11.4%.  That is a 10.3 point differential.  Amazingly, that matches my MFI differential of 10.5 points.  Te August 2012 portfolio is about to "come of age".  Here are the 50 stocks:

Still have some Education stocks at the "ahem" back of the class, though CPLA would have been a solid choice a year ago. It is interesting to see that while I have done very well with GTAT in 2013, on this portfolio it is essentially flat.

2013 Purchases

Here are my current open positions (with my multiplier).  Note I have a 23% cash position currently (probably shrinking when I pay credit cards for this vacation!).
