August 15th 2016 Tranche Closes

Closing of 8/15/16 MFI Select Tranche

My tranche from a year ago has hit it's one year anniversary.  And that means time to sell and buy 5 new stocks.  I sold GNC, GILD and CSCO today (CSCO was actually a carry forward from August 2014, so will be taxed as a long term capital gain).

I will sell the MSGN and VLO tomorrow or Wednesday.  Here is the final tally of the tranche:

8/15/2016  Start   Current   Dividend   Pct Gain   R3K Gain 
 CSCO  $31.20 $31.84 $1.10 5.6% 14.6%
 GNC  $19.79 $9.62 $0.38 -49.5% 14.6%
 VLO  $54.73 $66.79 $2.70 27.0% 14.6%
 MSGN  $16.68 $20.40 $0.00 22.3% 14.6%
 GILD  $79.33 $72.81 $1.98 -5.7% 14.6%
 Totals  -0.1% 14.6%


Not very good.The 14.7 point loss is my second worst in MFI Select (May 2014 was the worst).  Obviously GNC was a horrible choice.  When I bought, there was a lot of speculation they would be sold - and the price went to $26 or so.  Then they crashed and burned over Christmas and dropped under $7 for a stretch.

Rejects

I had 9 stocks that I "almost" bought instead last August.  They were up about 12%.  AVID was the big loser, down 51% - but KFY was up 38% and WNC up a bit over 50%.

August 2015 Tranche

The five stocks I sold last year did not fare well the past 12 months. They were down in composite about 6%.  Tough sledding for MFI. VDSI was the big loser, down 28%.
