Crash & Burn

Crash and Burn

I mentioned over the weekend how the wheels had fallen off a bit of late.  Yesterday was one of my worst days ever.  I have recovered some today, but I am now sitting down 6% on the year.

he R3K is  down a bit more than 5%,  so I am trailing.  It has mostly been my discretionary picks as MFI Select and MFI formula are each down about 1.6%. But my MFI index is down 9.3%.

Then look at the MFI tracking portfolios,it is getting a bit ugly:

8/29/2014 -6.3% -2.8% 0
9/26/2014 -2.0% -1.3% 0
10/31/2014 -4.2% -3.3% 0
11/28/2014 -9.4% -5.6% 0
12/31/2014 -9.5% -5.6% 0
1/30/2015 -7.1% -3.0% 0
2/27/2015 -14.5% -8.1% 0
3/27/2015 -12.5% -6.8% 0
4/24/2015 -16.2% -9.3% 0
5/29/2015 -12.3% -8.9% 0
6/26/2015 -12.1% -9.0% 0
7/30/2015 -8.9% -9.0% 1

The first column of percentages are MFI and the second are the benchmark.The benchmoarks are down an average of 6% versus 9% for MFI.  It is a struggle.
