6/11/10 Update Another wild week on VIX Street. But when the bell rang a close to the latest five-day round, the numbers showed slight evidence of the battle's ferocity. At Friday's close, the Nasdaq Composite Index was down -1.13% YTD (vs. down -2.20% YTD a week ago), while the Nasdaq Biotech Index was down -.50% YTD (vs. down -1.91% YTD a week ago) and the Contest median remained in positive territory, up 2.37% YTD (vs. up 2.85% YTD a week ago). Partly from an IDIX booster shot, DEWDIL's portfolio (up 32.16% YTD) zoomed from 6th place last week to take the Contest lead, with FILO's portfolio (up 31.51% YTD) moving to second place and JACKH's portfolio (up 25.68% YTD) barely beating out FRED's portfolio (up 25.52%) for third place. At Friday's close, 19 of the 32 Contest portfolios in the black with 20 of the 32 topping 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). Have a wonderful weekend biotechies! (All corrections, especially adjustments for splits, greatly appreciated.)
