1Q07 Summary
From the word go, the markets went on a spectacular run from the beginning of 2007. After some false scares (eg. a brief market correction after Indonesia's sand ban was initially announced), the big one came almost right after the Year of the Fire Pig was heralded, leaving many roasted. But amazingly, we are now almost where we were before this massive correction set in.

If we examine the sector indices below, it is clear that small caps have done very well. And the broad theme that has shown strength appears to be domestic reflation, as encapsulated in the performance of property, construction, hotels --- all recording >20% sector index gains over the quarter.

Also included below are the best and worst performing stocks over the quarter. They are arranged first by absolute amount gain/loss, then more relevantly for many, the percentage gains/losses. Note: several stocks appear to have gained/lost massive amounts but this is because of corporate moves like share consolidation, stock splits etc, so be careful (eg. Time Watch, Genemedix were shown as top gainers but the reason was in fact due to share consolidation).
