Weekend Update From White Mountains

Greetings From Glen NH

Well, it looks like I do have access to wifi, so I thought I'd knock out a couple quick posts before the fam gets up.  I am in Glen NH, home to Story Land, which looks great if you have kids 6 and under.  Just chilling here, it is a nice get-away spot for us that we visit once or twice a year.  Brought a Breaking Bad marathon if the family gets bored.

Last week was my 4th straight positive week, though diminishing.  I was up 81 basis versus 89 for the RK, so I treaded water with the averages. I am now up 16.3% on the year, which is very close to my high water mark. Actually, it is my highest week ending mark. That is sure to jinx it.

Transactions

This was not a strong week for stock picking. I bought just one stock, UEPS in the pre market Friday and it immediately dropped 11.1%.  They had great earnings (I thought) and this was a stock I have owned in the past and like. But right after I bought it, Bloomberg came out with a negative article (Net1 UEPS Focuses Beyond South Africa as State Reviews Tender). Then I did buy a few SLV options.  They also are off to a poor start, down 12%. Thankfully both these transactions were relatively small.  But I think I was too impulsive with both buys.

MFI Portfolio

August is officially closed and was a great month for my MFI, up 6.4%.  The newest tranche is off to a great start. And even my May tranche is now back in the black as RCII had  a very good week.  Hopefully it can still over take the benchmark!

Dividend Portfolio

This portfolio did well this week, helped by TCMCF and BBEP.  I seem to be losing my wifi, so am going to wrap it up quickly.
