I just closed the books on my most recent MFI tranche. Thought people might enjoy a pix out my window of the Brooks Mountains in Wyoming. This morning I climbed to the top of that ridge, a climb of over 2,000 ft ending at 11,700 ft. I was tuckered out when I got there!
I do like to look at various benchmarks when scoring an MFI tranche that ends for me. I like to see what would have happened had I not sold the stocks a year ago. I like to see how the stocks I did not pick fared. And then I like to look at the various MFI tracking portfolios.
Here is the final table on the tranche (I have actually included all my closed tranches for the record):

So you can see that this is my third straight tranche to close a loser (though 2 of 3 open are leading). But I give kudos to this tranche, it closed a lot of ground late. If we go back just a quarter the spread was -12.6% tp -2%.
If we look at 8/15/14 runoff, that was not very good. Those five names were down about 3%. CBI being the biggest loser, off 34%. AGX was up 16%.
Then it is time to count my blessings. The ten stocks I considered but did not pick were down 19%! Whew. I show them in table below:
| Stock | Start | End | Pct Chg |
| AGX | 40.52 | 46.80 | 15.5% |
| BRCD | 10.15 | 9.75 | -3.9% |
| CBI | 50.91 | 34.04 | -33.1% |
| KORS | 43.38 | 49.96 | 15.2% |
| MNDO | 2.72 | 2.28 | -16.2% |
| BSQR | 7.22 | 4.30 | -40.4% |
| BKE | 41.81 | 26.83 | -35.8% |
| VIAB | 43.67 | 42.82 | -2.0% |
| LCI | 52.71 | 32.02 | -39.3% |
| PERI | 2.51 | 1.27 | -49.4% |
Not many winners there.
Finally, a look at the nearest MFI tracking portfolio. The 8/28/15 tranche is up 5.3% versus 11.2% for the benchmark.
I will buy my five new stocks either tomorrow or Wednesday. Bit of a hectic travel day tomorrow, we will see.
