New MFI Select Tranche: 2/1/2019

New MFI Select Tranche: 2/1/2019

Today I started a new MFI Select tranche.  But it is more than that.  I have decided to tweak my approach to MFI Select going forward.

First, and most important, I am making a material increase in funds going to all my MFI approaches.  I have been tip-toeing into this the past couple of years, but will accelerate here in 2019.  So non-MFI will be going down substantially in 2019 and MFI commitment up.  It is the area I know/understand best.  And my track record since 2012 is pretty darned good => time to increase the stake.

Concurrent with the increased stake, I am going to (largely) keep my MFI Select picks to stocks with a market cap of $3 billion and more that also pay a dividend. I will be picking some of my MFI Select with a random number generator (50% ish). Finally, I am going to increase the number of holdings per tranche from 5 to 7.

So without further ado, here are my 7 holdings (WDC and AGX are carried over from 2/1/18 and I rebalanced shares).


2/1/2019  Start   Current   Dividend   Pct Gain   R3K Gain

 RTN  $166.65 $168.09 $0.00 0.9% 0.3%
 VIAB  $29.40 $29.30 $0.00 -0.3% 0.3%
 WDC  $44.99 $46.24 $0.00 2.8% 0.3%
 Totals  0.7% 0.3%
