5/24/2019 Contest update
May will soon be gone, both Theresa and the month. We can only hope June will be less trying for both Brits and biotechs.
Meanwhile, although it was mostly a down week for stocks, biotechs managed to hold the line. At Friday’s close, the Contest median was up 10.71% YTD (vs. up 10.43% YTD a week ago), the Nasdaq Biotech Index (NBI) was up 7.60% YTD (vs. up 7.05% YTD a week ago) and the smaller-cap S&P Biotechnology Select Industry Index (SPSIBI) was up 15.14% YTD (vs. up 14.49% YTD a week ago), while the Nasdaq Composite Index (NCI) was up 15.10% YTD (vs. up 17.80% YTD a week ago).
BULBA’s portfolio, up 82.81% YTD, lost a couple of percentage points for the week, but still held a comfortable Contest lead. OHM’s portfolio, up 58.53% YTD and ANDRE’s portfolio, up 54.02% YTD, held on to second and third place.
At Friday's close, 29 of the 39 Contest portfolios were in the green, while 22 were beating the NBI and 14 were beating the SPSIBI.
The 167 Contest stock picks have an average YTD gain of 20.26% and a median YTD gain of 10.73%.
Below is the Top Ten list. Also below are the Top 5 & Bottom 5 Stocks for the week ranked by % Gained and % Lost YTD. (Prices not converted to US$ in these Tables.)
Portfolio adjustments: ONCS did a 1-10 reverse split.
(All corrections, especially adjustments for splits & mergers, greatly appreciated.)
Enjoy a safe & relaxing Memorial Day long weekend biotechies!
Peace & good health,
Bulba
