The ten winning stocks this week advanced between 5.97 percent to 37.74 percent, with real estate and insurance companies being prominent. The ten top losers fell between 5.53 percent and 28.97 percent. Financial service sector is heavily represented.
The remaining five were the Palace Amusement at 9.09 percent, A.S. Bryden at 8.21 percent, Proven Investments at 7.43 percent, Mayberry Group at 6.95 percent and Massy Holdings at 5.53 percent. Six of the ten losers were investment or financial companies, which points to selling pressure in that segment. It is notable that Mayberry Jamaican Equities was among the biggest winners while its related company, Mayberry Group, was among the decliners.
The forecast also overlaps with the past week’s movers. Berger Paints, Margaritaville and 138 Student Living were all winners this week, which suggests recent momentum is consistent with the ICInsider.com forecast. but, QWI Investments and Palace were both among the week’s losers, but are forecast to enjoy gains of 433 percent and 300 percent respectively. Investors may see this week’s declines in those two companies as a potential entry point, though forecasts of this size should be treated with caution given the volatility the Main Market showed this week.
