Just One Day Left

Just a single day left on the 2/26/16 Magic Formula Investing tracking portfolio.  It has been solid, up 28.5%.  It does have about a 3 point edge over the benchmark - we'll see if that holds up on day # 365.

Hmm, looking at the fifty stocks, I already see a problem as TSRA changed names yesterday to XPER and Thursday's 10% sell off is not captured. Wow, MKSI was a great stock. Pity I did not buy it.  I was also late on WNC (in my 2/1/17 tranche).  Retail (KORS, GME and BKE) continue to get thrashed. IQNT, TIVO and OUTR were all acquired.

FIT at -50% was the big stinker. I managed to step around that pile - never tempted even though i own one.

"FIT at -50% was the big stinker. I managed to step around that pile - never tempted even though i own one." Was there something in particular that caused you not to consider holding FIT in any of your tranches?

JB - I am not a fan of companies that have a very limited product set. FIt and GPRO seem more to me like a division of a company rather than a stand alone company. I also like some form of recurring revenue.
