Welcome to The MoneyMax Market Insight for this week.
The insights for the week ending Fri Apr 17, 2020 are below.
- The JSE dipped -4.3% in the last 3 days of the week, bringing its 7-day run to an end for now. This may be due to new fears of a recession and how a surge in new Coronavirus cases locally will affect the economy. Apart from that some investors may have decided to take profits from the 7 day rebound.
- KEY saw some movement after its acquisition by GK was completed
- WISYNCO, FTNA, WIG and NCBFG continue to be popular stocks in terms of how often they are traded. WISYNCO and FTNA declined this week, a sign that the previous rebound and optimism in the market may be waning
- ICREATE, EFRESH along with others released results this week. The auditors for both raised concerns about their outlook. You can view comments in the stock-chat. ICREATE closed down -16% and EFRESH declined -30% this week
- JETCON hit a 52w low this week. JMMBGL raised concerns in its rating about the company and its prospects in the period ahead

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| JETCON | 0.93 | 1.00 | 1.02 | 0.02 | +2.00% | +7.53% | +9.68% |
| RJR | 1.32 | 1.40 | 1.56 | 0.16 | +11.43% | +6.06% | +18.18% |

| LUMBER | 1.14 | 1.14 | 1.16 | 0.02 | +1.75% | 0.00% | +1.75% |
| FOSRICH | 3.00 | 3.00 | 3.10 | 0.10 | +3.33% | 0.00% | +3.33% |
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 % |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

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

Stocks losing the most value since the start of the year. Note the number of lows they’ve hit for the period as well

| CPJ | 5.20 | 3.09 | -2.11 | -40.58% | – | 8 |
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.
