Magic Formula Investing

Using the Magic Formula for investing; based on "The Little Book that Beats the Market" I started a real life test with $50,000 of my own money. The blog described the process, thoughts, pain and ongoing updates on this adventure.

More Information for Magic Formula Investing - 1 year

Here are some detailed numbers of my portfolio compared to the SP500 -- the first number always represents my Portfolio and the 2nd is the SP 500 --- PLEASE COMMENT - I AM VERY INTERESTED IN OTHER OPINIONS HERE :

Stock Sectors - No real surprise here -- very much within the ranges.:
Information
20.79 19.98

Service
42.8 46.76

Manufacturing
36.40 33.25

Within Information - some differences, but I think one stock could make those differences:
Software 9.68 3.49
Hardware 6.18 9.53
Media 3.08 3.46
Teleco 1.84 3.50

SERVICES - of course no financial services - seems like that all goes towards business services
Healthcare 11.91 12.71
Consumer Services 10.96 7.72
Business Services 19.94 4.06
Financial Services 0.00 22.27

Manufacturing - little surprise here - I figured I would have more Energy stocks:
Consumer Goods 19.00 8.64
Industrial Materials 13.72 11.89
Energy 3.68 9.32
Utilities 0.00 3.40



STOCK TYPE -- lots of speculation - which I am not sure that makes sense. To me speculative stocks show future promise - but the screen makes sure these stocks do give a solid return ???

High Yield 15.03 12.23
Distressed 5.71 0.35
Hard Asset 6.81 10.54
Cyclical 11.44 11.26
Slow Growth 17.38 12.13
Classic Growth 16.70 40.20
Aggressive Growth 2.38 9.76
Speculative Growth 24.55 2.86

The last set of numbers -- SP 500 = 1
These are the most telling set of numbers. Forward PE ratio is the same as SP 500. That is somewhat surprising - the size of my companies is very small and 1/4 of them are spec. growth stocks. Then the projected EPS growth is 1.28 -- again that seems very solid. Price / Book ratio - this is where the MFI screens really start showing 2.58 vs. 1 - BIG difference. ROA is better and of course ROE should be very good - 1.61 vs 1 .

Price/Earning Forward 14.69 0.97
Projected EPS Growth - 5 yr % 14.25 1.28
Price/Book Ratio 2.58 1.01
Yield % 1.31 0.81
Return on Asset (ROA) 14.25 1.32
Average Market Cap $mil 760.37 0.02
Return on Equity (ROE) 31.69 1.61
