A Great eXample

Wow, my MFI tranches continues to rocket upwards.  Good thing as my dividend portfolio has been slacking off.  But overall on MFI (recall I started with 4 100K tranches (using my factor) in Aug 2012, Nov 2012, Feb 2013 and May 2013) has gone from $400k to $536k, a 34% gain (and most money has not been invested even a full year).

AGX is a stock I added literally at the 24th hour in my most recent August 2013 tranche.  Recall I was bullish on the US and wanted stocks that were perhaps growth candidates, with perhaps a little less focus on value. AGX is a smallish construction business.  I was already buying FLR, as I felt construction was going to be a beneficiary of build out in USA.  I was going to buy IQNT, but got a bit worried about some of the allegations against them, so switched to AGX at 24th hour.

AGX is up about 6% today and is up 35% in the month I have owned them.  NUS is up 2% today and is starting to near the century mark, which I predicted based on their momentum after last earnings.  I know I commented that if I was not in MFI, I would probably lock in their gains (127%), but I am really trying to follow the rules and not my instincts (which are often wrong).

Look at the continued acceleration of the out performance of MFI month by month over Russell 3000.  It is stunning.
