Top 200 List - August 1st, 2014

Top 200 List August 1st, 2014

It has been 6 weeks since I last created a top 200 list. I am not sure if it because I am shell-shocked over recent stock market losses, or I have been very busy and traveling.  I also have the additional incentive of a new MFI tranche in just two weeks.  I need to put my thinking cap on.  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!

I have included for your viewing pleasure a picture from Murren, the charming Swiss mountain village I am in today.  Today is also Swiss National Day, so if the weather holds, fireworks tonight.

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 two months ago 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 #114 (CBI) is the highest, and a "50" would be perfect. So that is not so good. 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. Not sure why GIB is nowhere to be found. Hmm, they just come up with errors in my data pull. I will dig further if happens again.

Using the top 200 list and keeping just those with a Div yield above 2.6 and a market cap above 900M from the post the other day showing those criteria outperform, here is the list I got, ranked by MFI order.
