12/6/2019 Contest update
The SAGE blow-up notwithstanding, the sagacity of Contest participants cannot be denied with the Contest median now handily topping both biotech indexes.
At Friday’s close, the Contest median was up an impressive 34.08% YTD (vs. up 29.59% a week ago), the Nasdaq Biotech Index (NBI) was up 23.84% YTD (vs. up 23.37% a week ago) and the smaller-cap S&P Biotechnology Select Industry Index (SPSIBI) was up 30.99% YTD (vs. up 29.76% a week ago), while the Nasdaq Composite Index (NCI) was up 30.46% YTD (vs. up 30.60% YTD a week ago).
HOOD’s portfolio, took a well-deserved nap this week but remained Contest leader with a phenomenal 205.96% YTD gain. BLADE’s portfolio, up 89.36% YTD, held on to second place and 2017 Contest winner KMASTR’s portfolio, up 88.53% YTD, was rocketed into third place by AUPH, the week’s top gaining stock.
At Friday's close, 33 of the 39 Contest portfolios were still in the green, while 25 were now beating the NBI and 21 were now beating the SPSIBI.
The 167 Contest stock picks have an average YTD gain of 35.31% and a median YTD gain of 8.58%.
