It was a difficult decision, primarily because of this blog. But the fact remains that I have been pretty faithful for 5+ years and I am down over 10%. That is real money for my family. My "MFI Index" is essentially flat over the 5+ years, so the method has not exactly been high-flying.
I am not sure what I'll do about my blog and all my score-keeping etc. I will likely continue, but probably not every week. If anyone wants to take it over from me, that would be fine. I will give out the spreadsheets I have created.
Here is the current top 200:
