Top 200 List - June 20th, 2014

Top 200 List - June 20th, 2014

It has been 3 weeks since I last created a top 200 list. As I mentioned last month, 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 - I found it was also unreliable..  The main financials (from Compustat) have seemed very reliable to me.

Readers will recall that last month 3 IPOs (LMNS, MBUU and KING) made this list. MBUU has completely disappeared, I think I was correct about minority income being misstated. LMNS is just off the top 200, like #230. KING is still very high.  If they can create new games that make money and create a bit of a franchise, they could be very cheap.

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! I think #77 (WINA) is the highest, and a "50" would be perfect. TIME is the one strange one.  I know they just started trading.  I have not dug in really deeply yet, but I would advise caution on whether they actually belong on the official list.  I will let you know if I can confirm they are ok.  I find it interesting that AGX is still #5 overall and it has been a two-bagger for me.

Late addendum. TIME was not showing up for me as it was not in the FINWIZ data I use. I forced it in and it scored very well (see below). That being said, I know I read that they were going public with $1.5b in debt and that does not appear to be showing up on balance sheet yet. So everyone needs to be aware that stuff is not always 100% accurate.

I wonder if "return on assets average for 5 years" would help the top 200 list?

If it comes in the teens or greater it would show how consisstent the earnings had been. Also would eliminate some strange one time events.

I spent some time looking at the completed gray tranches and the open ones and am amazed you have been able to avoid a big stinker or two. If one of the tranches has a COH and loses 30% it really can hurt overall results and makes it hard to beat IWV.

Do you have a screen or check list that keeps you out of the value traps and falling knives?

Looking back on the charts it look safe to buy stocks that are trending up or have formed a base for 3 months or so.

Any help or insight would be appreciated.

John - not sure if an ROA would help. I am now capturing a 10 year median ROA with every month of data. But I have only be doing that for 3 months or so ==> it will take a while.

I'd suggest I have just been lucky so far to avoid a real stinker. COH and LQDT have certainly been on my idea lists. I think in MFI, you will certainly get those from time to time.
