Another year/quarter has whizzed by. And that means saying fare thee well to my 5/2/2018 MFI Select tranche and wishing a warm welcome and good fortunes to my5/2/2019 tranche.
As I have mentioned, I am moving more and more of my total investments into MFI approaches. So my bump here in May is pretty much a record, 40% additional dollars (gulp). Part of it is my commitment to my MFI approach, and part of it is because May has (for whatever reason) been my poor-performing tranche, so I need a bigger add to right-size it with my other tranches.
Here is how May 2018 closed.
| 5/2/2018 | Start | Current | Dividend | Pct Gain | R3K Gain |
| CAAP | $12.19 | $7.61 | $0.00 | -37.6% | 12.1% |
| TGNA | $10.51 | $15.83 | $0.28 | 53.3% | 12.1% |
| DISCA | $23.85 | $30.89 | $0.00 | 29.5% | 12.1% |
| FTSI | $19.39 | $10.25 | $0.00 | -47.1% | 12.1% |
| ICHR | $21.96 | $25.04 | $0.00 | 14.0% | 12.1% |
| Totals | 2.4% | 12.1% |
Clearly there were issues with two of my picks. And while I lost by 10 points, the 2.4% gain looks good compared to how my MFI tracker did May to May (down about 6%). And the five other stocks I considered (AGX, PBH, EVC, SYX and ALSN) were down about 5%. So polently of poor performance to go around.

Newest Tranche
I ended up buying 6 stocks in the newest tranche. Before I cover the new stocks, here are my rejects (ones I almost picked): ICHR, CBS, VIAB, WW and AMAT.
I did roll over two picks, FTSI and TGNA. So they are simply added in at the closing price from yesterday. Then I bought 4 new names, MO, KHC, EAF and DXC. For them I show my purchase prices around noon today.
