The LAFDI had a poor week last week under-performing weak global markets. As markets price in the possible beginning of a rate tightening cycle in the US it could be that this sector suffers, as investors fear the consequences for this young sector.

Medallion Financial Corp further built on impressive recent gains and now looks to have a chance of escaping the downtrend that has dogged the shares since late 2013.
