Top two gainers for the day were The Carlyle Group, LP (CG) and Drew Industries Inc. (DW). The top two sliders for the day were Louisiana-Pacific Corp. (LPX) and Skyline Corp. (SKY). Killam and Deer Valley held steady, as those stocks are only being bought/sold periodically. (Notice: ALWAYS look at the date on the Bloomberg chart below, as some stocks aren’t traded daily, etc.).
