TACH - AUTOMOTIVE STOCK INDEX
December 20, 1996
By Gerald Levinson CMA
"It was the best of times and it was the worst of times" so said Charles Dickens. The same commentary applies to this weeks' performance.
Even though the DOW average broke records all groups were down with the exception of oil stocks which seem to be gearing up for the winter and possible increases in heating oil prices.
This week's list includes Index's 3 Percent Plus TOP PERFORMERS and -5% WORST PERFORMERS.
