Well, February was, overall at least, not kind to stocks. Still, my MFI portfolio held up better than the benchmark Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI), though both were down.

Regular readers of this blog know I routinely sift through SEC filings for stocks in the MFI universe that may be potential targets of activist investors. While I haven't made such stocks a significant focus of my personal approach to MFI, I haven't shied away from them, either. There's just something fundamentally intuitive, even exciting, about investing in companies that are potential acquisition targets, particularly if you have the chance to get in on them before they have been brought to the collective awareness of the masses. <> This past weekend, this screen revealed an interesting oppo...
