Magic Formula Investing Anniversary - Overall Return

I know - I am celebrating too often for my 1 year anniversary - but yesterday was the actual date - and I got lots of numbers to throw around:

Return of the original 20 purchases = 31.2%
Index comparison are at about 15%
Mutual Fund comparison would be Small Blend -- Category 1 year return is 12.8%

I bought more stocks as the year went so my current actual overall portfolio is at 29.1%. If I would have bought with equal $ amounts throughout the year, I would be at 25.4% ( you can see that I got a little lucky with the Feb purchases) - that is a number many mutual funds use when they do their returns.

The overall return numbers are VERY good -- there are only 2 mutual funds in the Small Cap category that have done better than 30%. And even the 25% number would still be in the top1% for mutual funds in that category - with expenses at.25%

No need to say that I am moving ahead with my Magic Formula investments - although I am not expecting (of course one can always hope) to duplicate this success.
