15 Top Ideas average 117% in total gains despite bear market for small cap stocks.
If you are an investor in small cap stocks you are glad that 2015 is
over with the hope that things can only get better this year.
The Investorfile blog has made 15 picks over the last four years
which, to date, make our basket of Top Ideas – Small Cap Value stocks. At the
end of 2015 Investorfile Top Ideas still maintain on average 117% in total
gains; this is after S&P/TSX Small Cap Index posted a loss of 15.84%, and
the S&P/TSX Venture Exchange Composite Index a loss of 24.42% in 2015.
Despite 2015 being a tough year for small caps, Investorfile’s top
three share price performers over the last 12 months:
- Quorum
Information Technologies Inc. (TSXV: QIS) +120%
- IWG
Technologies Inc. (TSXV: IWG) +69%
- RDM
Corporation (TSX: RC) +40%
Since the inception of the Investorfile blog four years ago, our Top
Ideas – Small Cap Value stock picks had:
- Average
high-point (highest close stock price) returns of 217%
- All stocks today still trade higher then their share price on initiating date
- Four
