Newest MFI Tracking Portfolio - Play Along At Home

Newest Tracking Portfolio

Well,  I have started a new MFI tracking portfolio.  I had a  little trouble yesterday with the official website. But this morning, everything was cool.

Dividend Stocks

Here are the stocks I have identified as dividend stocks (2.6% yield or higher):

Stock  Initial Price  52 week low  Mkt Cap  Yield
BBY              35.03               28.32       12,059 2.6%
CA              27.71               25.16       12,035 3.6%
CALM              53.46               34.03         2,593 7.4%
CLCT              17.29               11.66            154 8.1%
CPLA              45.15               43.58            541 3.3%
CSCO              28.85               23.03     146,702 2.9%
GME              46.07               31.69         4,879 3.1%
IILG              17.65               17.05         1,014 2.7%
IQNT              20.72               14.31            699 2.9%
KING              14.96               11.32         4,709 6.3%
LBMH                2.42                 1.96            129 5.4%
PBI              20.65               18.59         4,089 3.6%
PDLI                4.58                 4.40            749 13.1%
PETS              16.82               12.93            342 4.3%
PPC              18.99               17.39         4,924 30.4%
QCOM              59.42               52.17       93,765 3.2%
VIAB              49.31               36.32       19,620 3.2%


New Stocks

Stock Initial Price 52 week low  Mkt Cap  New
AMAG              40.00 31.84         1,235 1
BBSI              48.98 20.05            350 1
CALM              53.46 34.03         2,593 1
UTHR            146.63 117.88         7,038 1
So CALM is new and a dividend stock. My readers will know I have already bought AMAG.  BBSI was a regular on the list for many years.  I know they have some form of self insurance on workers comp that blew up in their faces a year ago and they dropped from $50+ to $20. It seems they have battled back. UTHR has been on many times before, might be an interesting round out to a pharma portfolio.

Dog Stocks

Stock  Initial Price  52 week low  Mkt Cap  Dog Flag
VIAB              49.31               36.32       19,620 1
PDLI                4.58                 4.40            749 1
LQDT                8.19                 6.65            246 1
BCOR                9.80                 8.85            401 1
APOL                7.26                 6.83            784 1

In looking at the dogs, I realized I had been making a spread sheet error the past 5 months in identifying new dogs (I am just a guy with a computer). It didn't really change any conclusions or the results of the Dogs approach (which has been surprisingly effective). I do own LQDT and VIAB, LQDT I bought below this dog price. Sadly, my cheapest VIAB is at $64. Note it dropped below $37. That would have been a good time to buy.  BCOR is going through a transformation. I do wonder if APOL will bottom out at some  point.
