Tough week for index
It was a losing week for most of the companies in the Bloomberg Honolulu Star-Bulletin stock index, with only three stocks posting gains.
The three that did come out ahead for the week were topped by Mera Pharmaceuticals Inc., gaining nearly 6 percent. But that still left Mera at only 1.6 cents a share; it has been in the penny range since October and hasn't been higher than 4 cents in the past year.
Rounding out the gainers for the week were Hawaiian Electric Industries Inc., up 0.88 percent to close at $26.25, and Bank of Hawaii Corp., up 0.74 percent to close at $52.77.
