7/17/09 update With Goldman Sachs bringing home the gold, it was party time on Wall Street. And when the trading week ended, the Nasdaq Composite Index was up 20.04% CYTD, or Contest Year To Date, (vs. up 11.74% CYTD a week ago). Biotechs also joined in the merriment, with the Nasdaq Biotech Index closing Friday up 3.72% CYTD (vs. up .44% CYTD a week ago) and the Contest median closing up 13.08% CYTD (vs. up 6.93% CYTD a week ago). RKRW's portfolio held on to first place, but No. 2 GENE's portfolio is now nipping at RKRW's heels and MIKE's portfolio has taken third place from GEORGIA's portfolio (which was creamed by OSCI). (Guess which portfolio has galloped into the No. 4 slot.) The week's closing CYTD percentages are: RKRW up 71.85%, GENE up 68.99%, MIKE up 60.92%. At Friday's close, 22 of the 32 Contest portfolios were in the black and 19 of the 32 were beating the NBI. Have a fun weekend biotechies! Below is the Top Ten list on 7/17/09:
