Weekend Update 1/30/16

Weekend Update

Much better week.  I was down 8.5% going into last week, now I am down 4.5%. That was all pretty much accomplished on Friday, where my entire portfolio was up almost 4%!  That included 5 stocks up by over 10%, including SJT at almost 23%.

I also had a lot of activity yesterday as I began to retire my 1/30/15 MFI tranche and set up a new tranche for 2016.

MFI Select

Looking back, I was down 10.3% YTD a week ago, I am now down 10.5% (hmmm, not so good)!

You will note I have greyed out the 1/30/15 tranche.  I have sold the UIS and VIAB.  I have added to VEC and QCOM - they will be in the 2/1/16 tranche.  I will sell the NHTC on Monday, but for purposes of this tracking, it is closed  out.  I have three stocks to buy on Monday.

For the record, here are all my closed tranches. This was the first negative:

 NHTC  $12.44 $19.95 $0.05 60.8% -2.6%
 Totals  -14.3% -2.6%

So I have had 11 closed tranches with an average gain of 28.9%.  The benchmark average has been 15.0%.

Here is how I have done in total, assuming a 100,000 start spread over first 4 tranches:

 Category/Tranche   August   November   February   May   Total 
 Initial Investment         25,000          25,000       25,000        25,000      100,000
 Current Tranche  -1.7% 5.3% -14.3% -27.0% -9.5%
 Previous Tranche  11.2% 69.4% 8.5% 18.3% 46.2%
 Tranche -2  41.4% 14.2% 78.3% 33.0% 41.7%
 Tranche -3  14.1% 43.7% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
 MFI Overall Gain  76.3% 192.8% 65.7% 14.8% 87.4%
 Current Balance         44,087          73,209       41,426        28,706      187,428
 R3K Current Tranche  -8.0% -5.9% -2.6% -7.4% -6.0%
 R3K Overall Gain  46.0% 48.4% 33.2% 24.2% 37.9%
 R3K Balance         36,491          37,089       33,303        31,051      137,934
 Annualized IRR  17.8% 39.8% 18.4% 5.2% 22.0%

So the bottom right  hand annualized IRR of 22.0% reflects the 11 closed tranches plus the open tranches which are generally doing worse. Next week, the -14.3% in the February/Current tranche cell of the table will drop down to the "Previous tranche" row.

MFI Formula

Recall that this is an approach I started at q3 of 2014.  It is formula driven - stocks over $600m market cap from $100 screen that have a dividend of 2.4% or greater.  So far, it has been in a dead heat with the benchmark.  This year, it is down 4% (off 6.8% last week).

 VIAB  $40.93 $45.64 $0.00 11.5% -6.1%
 Totals  -6.0% -6.1%

Here is similar table showing all tranches:

 Category/Tranche   October   January   April   July   Total 
 Initial Investment      249,820        249,939     250,180      249,728         999,667
 Current Tranche  -11.2% -6.0% -5.3% -12.9% -8.9%
 Previous Tranche  0.5% 11.0% 0.0% 0.0% 3.0%
 Tranche -2  0.0%                 -                 -                  -   0.0%
 MFI Overall Gain  -10.8% 4.4% -5.3% -12.9% -6.2%
 Current Balance      222,754        260,888     236,923      217,409         937,973
 R3K Current Tranche  -0.7% -6.1% -7.5% -7.5% -5.5%
 R3K Overall Gain  -1.3% -6.3% -7.5% -7.5% -5.5%
 R3K Balance      246,613        234,136     231,386      231,060         943,194
 Annualized IRR  -8.2% 4.0% -6.3% -21.0% -6.5%
So a start with $1m is down to 937,973.  The same amount started in IWV would be at 943,194. As I said, almost a dead heat.


MFI Micro

These are two micro portfolios I started in 2015.  They are micro cap stocks and I have less invested here than "normal".  They have done relatively well, both beating the benchmark:

8/28/2015  Start   Current   Dividend   Pct Gain   R3K Gain 
 VNCE  $8.50 $5.17 $0.00 -39.2% -3.3%
 ONE  $1.99 $3.49 $0.00 75.4% -3.3%
 TPUB  $11.60 $9.34 $0.18 -18.0% -3.3%
 LQDT  $7.26 $6.51 $0.00 -10.3% -3.3%
 PERI  $2.45 $2.45 $0.00 0.0% -3.3%
 Totals  1.6% -3.3%
12/15/2015  Start   Current   Dividend   Pct Gain   R3K Gain 
 MGIC  $5.38 $5.68 $0.00 5.6% -5.8%
 BSQR  $6.00 $6.15 $0.00 2.5% -5.8%
 SPCB  $4.52 $5.21 $0.00 15.3% -5.8%
 WLDN  $8.64 $8.56 $0.00 -0.9% -5.8%
 MNDO  $2.58 $2.36 $0.00 -8.5% -5.8%
 Totals               -   2.8% -5.8%
For the year, they are down 2.2%. Feels like a win.

Dividends/Warrants

The SJT pop really helped this group.


 Div and Warrants   Start   Current   Dividend   Pct Gain   Pct Gain Last Week   Year End 2015 
 BAC-WTA  $5.86 $4.25 $0.00 -27.5% -33.5% -3.6%
 AOD  $7.65 $7.12 $1.19 8.5% 5.9% 15.3%
 JQC  $7.82 $7.51 $0.10 -2.6% -4.2% 0.9%
 CSQ  $9.04 $8.89 $1.50 14.9% 11.3% 27.3%
 NTC  $12.06 $12.83 $1.29 17.0% 15.3% 16.1%
 TGONF  $10.24 $9.20 $1.19 1.5% 0.1% 8.3%
 HIG-WT  $21.24 $32.40 $0.00 52.6% 44.8% 72.9%
 O  $22.83 $55.79 $17.96 223.1% 214.5% 205.7%
 OIBAX  $5.04 $5.50 $2.15 51.6% 50.8% 51.9%
 SJT  $8.79 $6.22 $0.16 -27.4% -46.0% -51.6%
 REXI  $5.59 $4.36 $0.07 -20.8% -21.2% -2.8%
 Totals  0.5% -4.7% 6.2%

Pretty telling to go from -4.7% to +0.5% in just a week.  And of course, this portfolio is generating an ever increasing income stream as I reinvest all my dividends.
