4/12/2019 Contest update
It was one of those “singin’ the biotech blues” Fridays. Despite gains by the broad indexes, the biotech indexes were down with the Contest top pick, FGEN, suffering a 9% collapse.
When Friday's closing bell finally brought an end to the biotech bashing, the Contest median was up 17.80% YTD (vs. 23.04% YTD a week ago), the Nasdaq Biotech Index (NBI) was up 14.57% YTD (vs. 15.40% YTD a week ago) and the smaller-cap S&P Biotechnology Select Industry Index (SPSIBI) was up 24.72% YTD (vs. 25.71% YTD a week ago), while the Nasdaq Composite Index (NCI) was up 20.33% YTD (vs. up 16.49% YTD a week ago).
BULBA’s portfolio, up 74.25% YTD, wasn’t exempt from the biotech drubbing but remained in the Contest lead. RKRW’s portfolio, up 58.61% YTD, slipped into second place and OHMS’s portfolio, up 58.22% YTD, moved into third place.
At Friday's close, 36 of the 39 Contest portfolios were in the green, with 24 beating the NBI and 13 beating the SPSIBI.
The 167 Contest stock picks have an average YTD gain of 27.99% and a median YTD gain of 20.35%.
