Are you going to keep them? Or sell as the Greenblatt strategy mandates? I've held UST for over 6 years now, since it was $16 or so. Bought it when Michael Burry "picked" it on the value investing thread. doug5y

Paul, looks like you did well sorting through the options available to you though. I'll take that performance just about any year. Here's a sample test I setup 2-28-06 on marketocracy. I posted somewhere on the thread what stocks were intended to put in here in a static portfolio and just let it ride. I probably had to deviate a tad due to liquidity in some of the small caps, but should've been pretty close match not counting mergers/buyouts that may have occurred in interim. (Note it's not been a full 12 months yet and these portfolios were trying a different set of tests prior to the 2-28-06 test startdate) I had a bias to higher ROE and higher Return on total capital stocks in my picks so that could've screwed up the results.
