MFI Index, Mini Contest & Current Holdings

Schloss Rules

Just got done raking my roof.  Not sure if that is done everywhere, but after a heavy snow (we had a foot on Wednesday), it is recommended that you rake some snow off your roof.  Not the most fun thing to do when it is 15 degrees outside and a Saturday.

I thought I would include several lists that I maintain as an update.

MFI Index YTD and February

Here is how the 50 stocks greater than $100m have fared since the start of the year.  As I have commented  elsewhere, the MFI approach has been stalling a bit of late and you can see it on this table:

Recall in mid December I made my own top ten list and then pulled in top ten lists from Barron's and a few others.  I also brought in Eric's list:

Eye balling the list, it is admittedly a lot of holdings. But that is a fallout of having three discrete approaches. Then it is also apparent that GTAT position is out-sized. Frankly, that is a problem I can live with. I think as more and more rumors go out to general investing public of GTAT's role in new iphones that there is still large upside there.

Invest By Portfolio Type

I still have a large cash position.  As people know, this probably tends to flucuate between 15 and 30% of the total.

Portfolio	Proportion
Dividend	22.7%
