Weekend Update 4/30/16

Weekend Update

Wow, tomorrow is May 1st.  Just crazy. I was down about 1% last week.  That was actually good as the benchmark was down 1.6 percent.  So I am now up 3.8% for the year - I guess I should be pleased with that.  But frankly it is not MFI carrying the water.  My MFI select is down 7.2%, MFI Formula is up 2.1% and the MFI Index is basically flat.

Earnings have been pouring in. I touched on a few of them earlier in the week. VDSI announced Thursday night (VASCO Reports Results for First Quarter 2016) and they were decent. This is a cyber security stock that I am less and less excited about.

MFI Select

As I mentioned, this approach is down 7% this year. My most recent tranche is really torpedoed by PERI (down 31%). They announce earnings soon, hopefully that will turn the tide.

MFI Formula

The struggle continues here.

You can see April was bad, going from $102,371 to 99,774. I need to think about why R3K went up in April here, but down in MFI select. Something seems wrong.

Weird/bad Perrigo luck. It seems like the Gotham Funds and QVAL all did pretty decent last month.
