It is around 5:20 am, January 1st 2016. I hope everyone had a happy & safe New Year's Eve. I did doze in and out, but was awake for Ryan Seacrest and then Jimmy Buffett (worth a surprising $400 million).
For this blog, today is always a very busy day. I always "reset" my spreadsheets today. I track a lot of YTD info. I also will have to reconstitute the MFI Index. Then a tracking portfolio also hits a year.
So I have my coffee. My computer is plugged in so battery stays charged. I am using a wireless mouse instead of track pad. You get the picture.
The Numbers
- My portfolio overall ended up 5.3% (last year I was down 9.6% with the GTAT and GNW meltdowns).
- My MFI Index was down 9.0%.
- The Russell 3000 was up 0.4%.
- My MFI Select was up 20.7%.
- My MFI Formula was down 3.8%.
| Annual | Inception to Date | |||
| Year | Russell | MFI | Russell ITD | MFI ITD |
| 2006 | 11.40% | 15.03% | 11.40% | 15.03% |
| 2007 | 4.09% | -6.69% | 15.96% | 7.34% |
| 2008 | -37.05% | -37.97% | -27.00% | -33.42% |
| 2009 | 32.51% | 45.18% | -3.27% | -3.34% |
| 2010 | 18.38% | 22.77% | 14.50% | 18.67% |
| 2011 | -0.56% | -10.47% | 13.87% | 6.25% |
| 2012 | 16.43% | 9.70% | 32.57% | 16.56% |
| 2013 | 33.01% | 51.70% | 76.34% | 76.82% |
| 2014 | 12.26% | 12.07% | 97.95% | 98.15% |
| 2015 | 0.38% | -8.95% | 98.33% | 89.37% |
A bumpy year at best. With my being down 10% in 2014 and up just 5% this year, it does show that with all this effort that I am not doing particularly well. That is frustrating. Ok, I went back.
- 2013: up 45%
- 2012: up 18%
I feel better, though a bit of the "what have you done for me lately syndrome".

Just skimming up and down the list - both YTD and QTD, you can see this approach is not for the faint of heart (note the YE prices should include dividends during 2015).
MFI Select
While my 20.7% is a great result, it was largely due to NHTC being in two of the tranches for most of the year. Not that I am complaining, but I am just trying to explain the difference of my results versus the -8.9% shown above. Just a couple lucky picks. For the record, I will show all my MFI tranches going back to my 2012 reboot:

| 1/1/2016 | 63.33% | 209,514 | 146,186 |
In my month by month table, you can see December was not a great month going from 223k to 209k.
MFI Formula
The struggle has been more pronounced over here - down close to 4% on the year felt more in line with MFI overall underperformance. Again, I show all the tranches since I started this approach in September 2014. Including my new born tranche of yesterday.

MFI Micro
These two tranches are actually doing surprisingly well. But they are volatile. I could be down 10% next month.

Dividends & Warrants
I will make an effort in 2016 to get a YTD figure on this portfolio. I have not tracked as closely as MFI, as this is after all the MFI Diary.
| Div and Warrants | Start | Current | Dividend | Pct Gain | Pct Gain Last Week |
| BAC-WTA | $6.04 | $5.80 | $0.00 | -3.9% | -0.3% |
| AOD | $8.08 | $7.69 | $1.64 | 15.4% | 16.0% |
| JQC | $7.82 | $7.82 | $0.05 | 0.7% | 0.0% |
| CSQ | $9.32 | $9.91 | $1.96 | 27.4% | 29.3% |
| NTC | $12.06 | $12.68 | $1.24 | 15.5% | 14.9% |
| TGONF | $10.24 | $9.90 | $1.19 | 8.3% | 4.0% |
| HIG-WT | $21.24 | $36.72 | $0.00 | 72.9% | 71.4% |
| O | $22.72 | $51.95 | $17.82 | 207.1% | 203.4% |
| OIBAX | $5.04 | $5.52 | $2.14 | 51.9% | 52.3% |
| SJT | $8.82 | $4.19 | $0.13 | -51.0% | -43.5% |
| REXI | $6.35 | $6.16 | $0.05 | -2.3% | -26.7% |
| Totals | 6.3% | 5.7% |
Certainly SJT was the disaster pick here. Even with a double down off over 50%. REXI, on the other hand, really shot up this past week.
Other Stocks
In full disclosure, I own a few other positions that I view as temporary. GNW (blech), DEPO (just got too cheap with the bio tech fall out in Q4 and WILN (small position, had a limit price of $1.35 last week and it kept brushing up against it).
Have a great day everyone.
