Since we last looked at the performance of our IC Insider Buy Rated Stocks two weeks ago on 23rd September 2013, there have been some gain and losses. It’s been a full three months since we boldly started to ‘name names’ and now is the right time to do a full recap to see how we’re doing — or not!
Of the eleven Buy Rated stocks on the Trinidad & Tobago Exchange, only two are down, namely Guardian Holdings, off 5 percent and Neal & Massy 4 percent. Trinidad Cement is up 115% and still has room to grow based on its PE Ratio. First Citizens scored a whopping 52% for the short one month timeframe it made the list. Grace Kennedy is up 9 percent, JMMB 10 percent, Sagicor Financial 7 percent and Scotia Investment 6 percent.
So far, Buy Rated selections listed on the Jamaican market are not as successful with no gains to speak about. Meanwhile, Lasco Financial is down 19 percent and Jamaica Broilers is off by 14 percent.
It’s still early days yet. The Buy Rated selections are meant to identify stocks that will do well over the next twelve months. Short term pull backs are not negatives and are in fact buying opportunities for the serious investor.
