Welcome to The MoneyMax Market Insight for this week.
What have we noticed?
- One of the surprising top performing stocks for January is KEY – up 15% to $3.68 on the news of an $2.01 per share takeover offer by GK.
- VMIL was one of the most traded stocks over the last few days, but it ended up falling 23% this week, erasing most of the gains it made after going as high as $13.45.
- Is KLE (the best performing stock this month), up 31% because of the news of the change in their local franchising strategy?
- How much lower will BPOW go? At $3.79 it’s probably at it’s lowest point ever, and it looks like it’s going lower.

Look at how often the payment is made and also consider if they have done it in prior years, or did it for special reasons.
Bid-Ask Spreads
Bids > Close Price. Bullish
These stocks are expected to appreciate in price. There is strong demand (smaller spreads) and bid and asks are above the previous close. Bid-ask spreads indicate demand and supply / market liquidity. Bid represents demand and ask supply.
| Company | Close | Bid | Ask | Spread $ | Bid-Ask Spread % |
Bid Vs Close |
Ask Vs Close |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DCOVE | 10.04 | 11.17 | 11.38 | 0.21 | +1.88% | +11.55% | +13.65% |
| SJ | 73.38 | 83.33 | 83.38 | 0.05 | +0.06% | +8.95% | +9.02% |
| VMIL | 10.14 | 10.81 | 10.85 | 0.04 | +0.37% | +7.99% | +8.38% |
| JBG | 36.22 | 38.46 | 38.51 | 0.05 | +0.13% | +6.85% | +6.99% |
| QWI | 0.93 | 0.98 | 0.99 | 0.01 | +1.02% | +5.38% | +6.45% |
| KEX | 10.88 | 11.36 | 11.41 | 0.05 | +0.44% | +5.24% | +5.70% |
| LASF | 3.72 | 3.91 | 4.01 | 0.10 | +2.56% | +4.84% | +7.53% |
A small spread exists when a stock is being actively traded and has high volume – this is normally prefered as it allows orders to be filled quickly at the prices we want.
Bids < / = Close Price. Bearish
These stocks have bids (and possibly asks) below the latest close price. These tend to be stocks with low volumes and/or wider spreads. Small or unknown companies frequently exhibit lower trading volume because fewer investors are interested in relatively unknown firms.
| Company | Close | Bid | Ask | Spread $ | Bid-Ask Spread % |
Bid Vs Close |
Ask Vs Close |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ISP | 22.10 | 15.00 | 29.50 | 14.50 | +96.67% | -32.13% | +33.48% |
| MTL | 0.31 | 0.26 | 0.36 | 0.10 | +38.46% | -16.13% | +16.13% |
| 1834 | 1.02 | 0.90 | 1.03 | 0.13 | +14.44% | -11.76% | +0.98% |
| GENAC | 6.17 | 5.50 | 6.71 | 1.21 | +22.00% | -10.86% | +8.75% |
| CPFV | 41.33 | 37.02 | 42.01 | 4.99 | +13.48% | -10.45% | +1.62% |
| MDS | 6.69 | 6.00 | 7.50 | 1.50 | +25.00% | -10.31% | +12.11% |
| MJE | 11.17 | 10.05 | 11.60 | 1.55 | +15.42% | -10.03% | +3.85% |
Large bid-ask spreads on illiquid shares are also used by market makers to compensate themselves for assuming the risk of holding low-volume securities. A wide spread represents a higher premium for market makers.

Note: As stocks start to rise, there can be more and more greed in the stock market. You see more and more people thinking, ‘Oh yeah let’s put money on that stock because it’s going up.’ Watch out for that.
YTD Bears
(Worst performers)
Excluding new listings
Stocks losing the most value since the start of the year. Note the number of lows they’ve hit for the period as well
| Company | Open | Close | Chg $ | Chg % | # Of Highs |

| SVL | 25.50 | 21.57 | -3.93 | -15.41% | – | – |
Note: Being ‘bearish’ is a sign of pessimism – thinking a stock is going to lose value. ‘Bearish’ investors, therefore, are likely to sell. In some cases (with research) you can take advantage of fear and greed – buying when there’s fear.
