Had A Bad Week

Had A Bad Week

Just a week ago I wrote about how the first two months were off to a good start for MFI.  The wheels came off a bit last week.  I don't even understand why MFI stocks in general were more beaten up.

Here are the 50 stocks in my MFI Index for the week.  As you can see, down 6.1% on average while the Russell 3000 was down just 2.7%.  I know, depressing.  Hopefully just a short term aberration.

I also started a MFI > 3b tracking portfolio last FRiday. It was down 4.1% on the week.

MFI Tracking

Here is another way to look at recent struggles.  Here is a table showing my 11 open MFI Tracking portfolios as of 2/26/19:

3/29/2018	1.3%
4/27/2018	-2.9%
5/25/2018	-4.7%
6/29/2018	-4.1%
7/27/2018	-3.3%
8/31/2018	-6.4%
9/28/2018	-6.8%
10/26/2018	2.4%
11/30/2018	2.4%
12/31/2018	15.5%
1/25/2019	5.6%

So you can see in aggregate they're basically flat.  Now move the clock forward  two weeks:

3/29/2018	-2.7%
4/27/2018	-6.1%
5/25/2018	-9.4%
6/29/2018	-8.9%
7/27/2018	-8.5%
8/31/2018	-11.1%
9/28/2018	-11.9%
10/26/2018	-2.9%
11/30/2018	-3.8%
12/31/2018	7.8%
1/25/2019	-2.4%
2/26/2019	-7.2%

That is shocking.  Basically a 7 point drop since 2/26.  Sometimes I feel like pulling out the little hair I have left!
