Detailed Look At 2014 MFI Index

Thought my readers would be interested to see how the MFI Index has performed so far in 2014.  In a word, flat.  Almost exactly on par with Russell 3000.

	Total	17,682	18,324	17,908	1.3%	-2.3%

As you can see, up 1.3% overall. But down 2.3% in April. Three stocks (APOL, LQDT and GTIV) have sort of imploded this month.  Then for the YTD figures, GNI is down a crushing 70%.  But people have warned on this blog many many times (Eric Y for one) that GNI had a limited shelf life.  It shows you how inefficient markets actually are with the market over-pricing GNI for so many years.

Dividend Stocks

I wanted to provide a little more color on my dividend portfolio, showing the average yield and expected annual income:
