Good morning everyone. I am in Pittsburgh this morning, serious Steelers country. Everyone has their sweat shirts, jerseys and hats on, showing their team pride.
It was a very flat week for my portfolio, while the market was up under a percent. I continue to be extremely boring - no transactions (other than reinvested dividends) on the week.

The earliest tranches continue to do very well. Just about a month left on 11/15. But the 5/6 tranche is a mess (as I mentioned yesterday). CBI was down very sharply yesterday - not sure why as I was traveling. The August tranche is back in the red - a bit disappointing.

You can see that my current spread between the index is one of the highest marks in history. So it is working for me.

QCOM really had a nice week. Three of my four open tranches are trailing. But the 12/31 is up by so much that I am ahead.

Looking at the differential table - you can see it is working, but not enough yet to party like it is 1999.
MFI Micro
This portfolio had been making a mini comeback, but that was slapped down last week. Like I said before, I need one of these five stocks to be a two bagger.
| 8/28/2015 | Start | Current | Dividend | Pct Gain | R3K Gain |
| VNCE | $8.50 | $4.20 | $0.00 | -50.6% | 2.1% |

Dividends & Warrants
At least BAC had good earnings this week. The warrants on that stock will test your patience.

I know that this was a speed update, but I do have places to go and people to see. Have a great weekend.
