Amazing how much things can change in a week. Last week I was talking about a downward slide and now this week I am up 2.6%. Go figure. Jim Cramer had an interesting segment looking at the minute by minute activity on Tuesday afternoon around 1 pm when the markets bottomed and then shot upward like a slingshot. He at one point suggested the markets are manipulated. That is possible, but I think what happens is that many traders use algorithms that are very similar to each other. And when something happens technically, it floods them all relatively simultaneously.
MFI Portfolio
It was a blowout week for this portfolio, up 3.5%. It really helped having SNDK pop 9% Thursday (and almost 13% on the week) on great earnings (SanDisk soars after results top expectations, margin forecast raised). I was asked whether it is too late to buy SNDK. I do not think it is too late. Their results were SO good, that even with the run-up I still think they look very reasonable. This could definitely be a $95 to $100 stock. WNR and SYNA both jumped more than 10% over the week as well. I am not sure I saw major news on either one.
Here is a table showing month-by-month movement of MFI portfolio:

Discretionary Portfolio
When this portfolio does well, it does well. Definitely some of my higher beta names. GTAT was actually flat on the week, though that really surprised me. On Monday it opened trading at $16.48. On Tuesday it dropped as low as $14.47. I had the good sense to buy 4,000 shares (with my multiplier) on Tuesday at $15.10. Which I then sold the next day at $15.78. Now it is $16.17.
GNW went up 5% on the week, LMNS got as low as $8.30 on Tuesday and closed the week at $9.56. This portfolio did have a little action during the week, as besides the swing trdae on GTAT, I also made 3.5% on a similar trade with TZA.
For the record, here is how all my stocks fared during the week:

Dividend Portfolio
Not always my sexiest portfolio, but every week I am collecting dividends on this portfolio for real in my account. And let me tell you, there is nothing like real income that I can use to take the family to Chili's with to make it real. With my multiplier, in April so far $3,600 of dividends have been received in my brokerage account! Maybe I will take the family to Ruth Chris' Steakhouse instead!
