As my readers know, I keep an MFI Index.  It is really struggling in 2015. Down about 1.9% for the year and down about 5% in the 3rd quarter:

You can see a bit of my dogs theory. Some stocks that are very bad for the year are good for q3 (such as WTW, STRA and LFVN).

I am struggling a bit as well recently, but have been fortunate with a few of my picks.  

• MFI Select is up 10.8% for the year 
• MFI Formula is up 5.9%
