Top 200 List 12/13/18

Top 200 List 12/13/18

Well, I felt like running a top 200 list this morning.  We've been in correction territory, so some stocks are probably starting to look like pretty good buys.

This is my version of the official magic formula screener from Joel Greenblatt's book.  I believe I come very close to matching the actual calculations.  When I first developed this, the official screen gave more earnings yield and ROIC data - so that is a large reason for confidence.

The formula details can be found in my blog post "The Calculation" if you want to see more.  I had a lot of help developing it from people on the Yahoo MFI board back in the day.  Also Randy Harmelink, of SMF fame, helped me automate workbook once the formulae were all working well.

I do give more info than official site.  I use Fidelity for data source and they use Compustat, so that matches what official website uses.  I do provide earnings yield and ROIC.  I also typically have more names as I do not throw out as many non-US firms and I keep some insurers and investment firms.
