THIS WEEK'S TOP -- AND BOTTOM -- PRICE PERFORMERS This week, unfortunately, there were far more losers than winners. In fact, there were only 25 winners in all (not counting JRM, with a "gain" of .1%). A few things stand out about this week's list of winners, for what it's worth (perhaps nothing): 1) not one driller on it (but quite a few of them on the big losers list); 2) the list is dominated by small caps, 9 of which are true micro-caps (under 20 mil.); 3) 17 of the 25 have institutional ownership of less than 50%, and with the exception of WAI, IO, and NR, they are followed by a minimum number of analysts (from 0 to 5); 4) ADR's are booming for a third week in a row. This is the third week I have made a winners' list, and the second week I have made a losers' list. An asterisk () will be used to denote companies that were top price performers in week one; a plus sign (+) will be used to denote those that were top price performers in week two; and a pound sign (#) will be used to denote companies that were among the worst price performers in week two. (Note that five companies on the winners' list this week -- including the top two -- were among last week's biggest losers. I suppose the message is: where there's life, there's hope!) THE TOP 25 #DXPE: +20.5% #UFAB: +19.0% +OMNI: +18.7% WAI: +9.9% +GIFI: +8.5% +BTJ: +7.6% +GMRK: +5.5% VTS: +5.5% #IO: +5.4% RES: +5.2% +CDIS: +4.9% DPSI: +4.6% +SMV.A: +3.8% MIND: +3.4% #DALY: +3.0% +HOFF: +2.8% CXIPY: +2.7% (Don't have data for previous weeks.) MDR: +2.5% DIVE: +2.4% MTRX: +2.4% #NR: +1.7% +BWG: +1.6% TOK: +1.2% NOI: +1.2% THE BOTTOM 25 #WNS: -18.8% #EGEO: -11.2% #OII: -10.7% +FGII: -10.3% CDG: -9.7% VRC: -9.3% TBI: -8.8% OLOG: -8.6% BHI: -8.3% HP: -8.3% #MAVK: -8.1% #MDCO: -8.0% DI: -7.6% PDE: -7.3% GSCI: -7.2% #PESC: -6.8% #HAL: -6.6% #TESOF: -6.5% +TBDI: -5.8% +UTI: -5.5% FLC: -5.7% #BJS: -5.6% TMAR: -5.4% *SII: -5.2% ICOC: -5.0% (There were more losers than that, of course, but the list is limited to 25. Besides, ain't that enough already?) jbe
