Short list of these under performers

Hi James and Team. Your comment in this afternoon's report (31/03) was of particular interest. "There can often be some serious book squaring at the end of each quarter and that generally hits the stocks that have had a tough period i.e. fund managers want them off their books before having to report on the losers. It would be nice if you could publish a short list of these underperformers - for a couple of reasons... They could be in a subscriber's portfolio but not necessarily in an MM portfolio, or , they could be on a subscriber's purchase / sell radar and this information would be very useful in their decision making. As always, thanks for the insights, market commentary and MM convictions. Cheers, JanP

Answer

Hi Jan,

We covered 4 names in Friday’s report that have underperformed in Q1 of this year. Here is a list of the 15 weakest stocks in the ASX 200 this calendar year to date (NB it includes 1st April).

The 1st column looks at return for the period, the 2nd looks only at the last months return and the 3rd column looks at what the return would be if the stock traded up to the consensus broker price target.
