These Jamaican Stocks Look Cheap — But the Market May Be Right

🎙️ Ryan Strachan returns for Part 2 with Dr. Matthew Preston and Dr. Thaon Simms for a wide-ranging conversation on Jamaica’s stock market, investing, entrepreneurship, and wealth creation. 📈 Why are many Jamaican financial institutions trading at relatively low valuations? 🏦 Ryan argues that the market may be sending a message: banks and investment firms need to become more aggressive about M&A, investment banking, dealmaking, and creating new revenue streams. The conversation also dives into Carreras 🚬, Dolphin Cove 🐬, Sagicor’s proposed APO, JMMB, Lasco Manufacturing, the JSE Micro Market, Junior Market investing, and market makers. Ryan also explains why investors should focus on underlying value rather than market noise—and why stocks deserve the same long-term mindset many Jamaicans already apply to real estate. 🏠📊 The episode closes with a bigger lesson on entrepreneurship, opportunity in Jamaica 🇯🇲, persistence, relationships, and the extraordinary results that can come from simply being consistent for long enough. 🚀 📊 Highlights & Chapters: 0:00 - 1:51 | 🎙️ Ryan Strachan Returns for Part 2 1:51 - 19:48 | 🏦 Why Jamaican Financial Stocks Are Struggling 19:48 - 29:14 | 🚬 Carreras, Vaping Growth & Illicit Cigarettes 29:14 - 41:12 | 🐬 Dolphin Cove & Jamaica’s Need for Bigger Deals 41:12 - 49:14 | 📈 The JSE Micro Market & New Company Listings 49:14 - 1:06:10 | 🌎 Sagicor APO, JMMB & Finding Hidden Value 1:06:10 - 1:18:23 | 🏭 Lasco, New Products & Manufacturing Growth 1:18:23 - 1:29:37 | 💹 Market Makers, Junior Market & Retail Investors 1:29:37 - 1:42:57 | 🏠 Stocks vs Real Estate for Building Wealth 1:42:57 - 1:59:19 | 🚀 Opportunity, Entrepreneurship & the Power of Consistency 🎧 Listen to more episodes: https://limitlesspodcast.buzzsprout.com 🐥 Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Limitless_pod 📷 Stay connected on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/limitless_pod/ 💲 Get exclusive insights: https://bit.ly/Limitless-MMJA-Discount 👍 If you enjoyed this episode, please like, subscribe, and share! ❓ Do you think Jamaica’s next major investing opportunity will come from financial stocks, the Junior Market, or a new generation of companies coming to the JSE?
