Just 11 Trading Days Left

May 6th 2016 Tranche

Just 11 trading days left on my May 6th MFI Select tranche.  This has been a relatively (and absolutely) good one.  Up right at 23%.  I have mentioned several times that the stocks I did not pick have fared even better.  My five "rejects" (AAPL, LDOS, AGX, AMAG and IQNT) are up about 52%.  Oh well.

I am also starting to ponder my next five stocks.  As this is my "select" portfolio, I have total free form - so long as it fits characteristics of an MFI stock.  I will likely run a top 200 screen at the start of May to see if anything interesting percolates.

Here is the current tranche:


5/6/2016  Start   Current   Dividend   Pct Gain   R3K Gain 
 BRCD  $7.97 $12.57 $0.17 59.7% 17.3%
 CBI  $37.82 $29.90 $0.00 -20.9% 17.3%
 HSII  $18.51 $26.25 $0.39 43.9% 17.3%
 RHI  $38.51 $45.49 $0.90 20.5% 17.3%
 UTHR  $107.99 $121.05 $0.00 12.1% 17.3%
 Totals  23.1% 17.3%


CBI does actually have some very modest dividends (28 cents) so I will fix that.  So 4 pretty good picks and the CBI failure.  BRCD is being acquired by AVGO.

When I look at stocks currently on the list (and a few that are not) - these ideas quickly come to mind:

  • BIIB
  • CSGS
  • MPAA
  • NLS
  • QCOM
  • UTHR
  • VEC
  • TGNA
  • CAH
  • RHI
  • MSGN
  • YRD
Obviously will do more research.
