November 15th 2012 Runoff

One thing I do is not only track my MFI tranches, but how the prior year ran off. This is because JG in is book always said the one year sell date rule was arbitrary and driven by taxes, not performance.  Here is the performance of the one year runoff of the stocks in my November 2012 tranche:

11/15/12 Runoff	Start	Current	Dividend	Pct Gain
AAPL	75.35	109.40	$1.88	47.7%
ABC	69.23	86.90	$0.94	26.9%
VIAB	80.94	72.83	$1.30	-8.4%
WU	16.40	17.10	$0.50	7.3%
LPS	n/a	n/a	n/a	0.0%
Totals				18.4%

As a reminder, here was the actual tranche:

11/15/12 Stocks	Start	Current	Dividend	Pct Gain	R3K Gain
AAPL	$537.62	$527.28	$8.75	-0.3%	36.7%
ABC	$40.21	$69.23	$0.86	74.3%	36.7%
LPS	$23.89	$34.26	$0.40	45.1%	36.7%
VIAB	$49.12	$80.94	$1.15	67.1%	36.7%
WU	$12.77	$16.40	$0.50	32.3%	36.7%
Totals				43.7%	36.7%

You will note I did not track the runoff of LPS.  It was sold and only changed a little from $34 price.   Here is how my 2013 November tranche has done:

11/15/13 Stocks	Start	Current	Dividend	Pct Gain	R3K Gain
AVG	$17.22	$17.92	$0.00	4.1%	13.2%
ATVI	$17.71	$20.30	$0.20	15.7%	13.2%
GA	$9.04	$11.90	$0.23	34.2%	13.2%
RPXC	$17.04	$13.76	$0.00	-19.2%	13.2%
SYNA	$48.01	$65.72	$0.00	36.9%	13.2%
Totals				14.3%	13.2%

So a few days left, but I am trailing the runoff by 3 to 4 points.
