April 25th 2014 Top 200 List

Top 200 List

As I mentioned last month, I am going to try and start creating a top 200 list when I do a monthly tracking portfolio so I can keep them in sync and pull data from the detailed listing.  I am also expanding the data I bring in... it will take time to build a database, but ten years from now I might be able to tell you something new!

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.

If anyone could think of any other stats that might be interesting, then let me know.  I have now started using price to tangible book.  The data is from GuruFocus.  I have brought in a ton of other data from Gurufocus as well.

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, I have tried using Gurufocus for dividend yields - we can see how they look..  The main financials (from Compustat) have seemed very reliable to me.

The price to tangible book (in my opinion) is interesting.  Note that some pretty highly rated stocks such as PDLI and CALL actually have a "-", meaning they have a book value below 0.    Always double check these figures before you make decisions.

Here is the Cross Reference List.  After a couple of runs where I had a few mis-matches, this one looks actually better than the official list!  In my view, CTSH should not be on the list. their stock recently split and I believe the official list cut their market cap in half (whoops - though people can double check, I see two sources at 15b and two at 30b).I think #72 (ATVI) is the highest, and a "50" would be perfect.  KING is a weird one.  PTIE for some reason has a zero in denominator, I will look into that.
