The above total return data from Bloomberg includes capital adjustments and dividends over the year to 30 Dec 2016. 
The Business Times last Saturday published its version of top gainers some of whose figures are very incorrect.
The BT table (left) showed ISR Capital as the top gainer with 8,179% gain.
But from 0.6 cent to 12.7 cents is actually about 2,000%. (The stock has been suspended since late Nov and is under a cloud ).
Eucon, to which BT ascribed a gain of about 430%, actually had a negative return of 7% (from 3 cents to 2.8 cents).
Did Blumont turn in a 512% gain?
Nope, it was minus 33%. And Abundance International's gain was nowhere near as abundant as reported.
