Top 200 List - September 26th, 2014

Top 200 List

It has been 2 weeks since I last created a top 200 list. It does take some time, I do like to create a list concurrent with my tracking portfolio.  As I mentioned last month,  I am 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.

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 #67 (VIAB) is the highest, and a "50" would be perfect. So that is really so good.  Not sure why GIB is nowhere to be found. Hmm, they just come up  again with errors in my data pull. It seems to be a Fidelity issue..
