The model portfolio simply reflects the result of the screener on January 1 of each year. At yearend, the portfolio is liquidated and the money is invested in the a new set of stocks.
BUT
A stock that was in the portfolio before and shows up in the screener on January 1, is left untouched. It is left to compound. One example is World Acceptance Corporation (WRLD). This stock was bought in 2009 and has been in the model portfolio ever since. The reason for this is that the screener has consistently "recommended" WRLD on January 1 of each year since 2009.
The newsletter does not generate ideas for the model portfolio. It's the reverse. Any stock in the model portfolio has been consistently profitable over many years. The newsletter is low-level analysis of the drivers of past profitability. This should help to understand the sustainability of profitability going forward.
Hope this helps.
Feel free to drop me a message if you have further questions about the newsletter, the portfolio or the screener. You can find my e-mail adress in the newsletter or on my profile on this site.
I am trying to understand how the annual rebalance on the gurufocus model portfolios works. Can you please explain how GuruFocus rebalances at the beginning of the year. For e.g. lets assume we start with 100K and there are 24 stock picks by year end in the Buffett-Munger newletter recommended for 2012, How does Gurufocus determine which stocks to sell from its existing portfolio and which ones to add in Jan?
Thanks for the assistance

Actually the problem may be that when you click on the excel download icon the data that comes out is different to the above (in fact there are 30 stocks in teh excel file, not 25 as above).
Why is the new portfolio above different to the results of the Buffet-Munger screener as of today? The screener currently outputs :
ATK
ANSS
ATRI
ATW
BBBY
BIG
BJRI
SAM
BKE
CRR
FCFS
FLIR
FOSL
GD
HSIC
HUM
JOSB
MTD
MTSC
ORCL
PNRA
RL
RAVN
RGLD
TSCO
TYL
VMI
WMT
WAT
WRLD
the equal weighting only applies to new stocks at rebalance. if a stock is still in the portfolio at rebalance, its weighting is not changed.
In the Portfolio the Stockprice is lower ($44.4)
Same for ITT Educational Services Inc.
Is that becouse of the rebalancing on 1st january?
Also, Dionex is not valued at $0.... it was purchased at a value of $118.50/share, per WSJ. (deal completed May 17, 2011)...so the short portfolio is even better that +13% YTD

Based on results, guru bargains seem more like guru mistakes. Though some of the stocks here may have strong upside going forward assuming worst is behind us.
I am new. How are other members using this screen?
Since this portfolio did the best, is there any prior data to see how it performed in other years and how it did in up markets vs down markets.
