10/29/10 Update
Along with looming Halloween “trick or treaters,” next week’s election and likely QE II launch kept fear alive for investors. Yet both the Nasdaq Composite Index and Nasdaq Biotech Index were able to post small gains for the week, while the Contest median slipped back a bit..
At Friday’s close, the NCI was up 10.50% YTD (vs. up 9.27% YTD a week ago), while the NBI was up 9.96% YTD (vs. up 8.81% YTD a week ago). The Contest median closed up 8.46% YTD (vs. up 9.62% YTD a week ago).
First place ROCKY’s portfolio (up 49.37% YTD) maintained a substantial lead, while the next three slots were virtually tied: FILO’s portfolio (up 35.83% YTD), WILDER's portfolio (up 35.75% YTD) and DEWDIL’s portfolio (up 35.54% YTD).
At Friday's close, 25 of the 32 Contest portfolios were in the black with 15 of the 32 beating the NBI.
Below is the Top Ten list. Also below are the Top 5 & Bottom 5 Stocks ranked by % Gained and % Lost for the week (foreign stock prices are not converted to US$ in these two tables).
Enjoy the weekend biotechies!
Go Giants!
