A few observations:

1. Magic formula takes a lot less work.

2. Rule 1 is doing better so far.

3. More stress with Rule 1. I have no problem picking the magic formula investments and holding the losers. But I did sell a few that had huge gains and then showed that they were about to go down per Phil’s Tools.
Wait til you read "The Intelleginet Investor" then you will be really excited j/k. Try Monringstar's 5 Rules for stock market success though it's a good read
