Back Home! Top 200 List and Other Thoughts

Back In The Nutmeg State

Got back home about 4pm on Saturday. Just in time to see my son and his date off to the prom. They looked great together.  Funny story, I was talking with the mother and found out she grew up in my home town (Bloomington, Indiana) until age 5, when she moved to Connecticut.  Small world after all.

Interesting that I had more flame outs that usual. Both DHX and ACHI show goose eggs in Fidelity. FLR just reported Thursday night, so that could be a timing issue. MSB has been a problem for quite a few months.

My Tranche

Here are the five stocks I am leaning towards:

1. MNDO
2. DEPO
3. HPQ
4. PSDV
5. KORS

A couple of smaller cap stocks in there. I could also be convinced on UBNT, CBI, ASPS and PERI.  We shall see.

	Total	19,816	19,969	20,304	2.5%	1.7%

So up 2.5% for the year and 1.7% since March 31st.  All over the map. WTW and TZOO were terrible in the 1st quarter, but great thus far in 2nd quarter. Sometimes it pays to pick a loser.

The Russell 3000 is up 3.2%, so MFI is trailing.  The real loser has been GARIX, which is Gotham Fund that is long/short by Greenblatt.  It is down 1.65%.

New Computer?

My Lenovo X220 is about to hit 4 years pretty soon.  I am thinking about an upgrade; although this one does still work quite well.  Just some are out now that have such a stunning battery life, are lighter, have the touch screen and more memory on SSD.  The Dell XPS 13 actually has gotten rave reviews.  Maybe an early Father's Day gift...
