12/31/14 Final Contest Update
It’s Official: DEWDIL is the winner of the 2014 Biotech Stock Charity Contest!!!
In a challenging year for smaller cap biotechs, DEWDIL’s portfolio finished the year with a remarkable 124.47% gain!!!
Congratulations & Mazel Tov to DEWDIL!!!
DEWDIL picked the Macula Vision Research Foundation as his charity. He has noted the following: “MVRF is unusual insofar as they apply 100% of received donations to research grants for leading ophthalmologists. (The Foundation’s overhead expenses are funded by the founders from a separate source.)”
Here’s a direct link to where you can make a donation to MVRF:

In past years, a few contestants have wanted to contribute to a charity I chose along with that of the winner’s charity (no obligation, of course). As I did last year, I’m choosing the East Bay College Fund as my charity. Here’s the link to their website:
