As a reminder to my new readers (actually, more people have been following lately) I have a spreadsheet that replicates extremely closely the official MFI top 50 lists. (MFI being magic formula investing from the little book that beats the stock markets by Joel Greenblatt).
I get a few more on my list as I suspect they throw some from other countries out, there may be other reasons (like I retain health insurers along with some asset managers and MFI clearly pitches them). But virtually all of the official top 50 are in my top 80, so correlation is very tight.
My list is in descending order. I also show dividend yield (actually not this time, Yahoo Finance was having some indigestion this weekend), though I'd encourage anyone using the list to double check those as Yahoo Finance is not the most reliable source. So without further ado, here is the list:
