11/12/10 Update
Was it the deficit commission that inspired Mr. Market to produce a deficit in investors’ brokerage accounts? Or was it that Daylight Savings Time mantra, “Fall behind,” which somehow infected computer trading algorithms? Well, whatever the cause, it was not a good week for the Bulls.
At Friday’s close, the Nasdaq Composite Index was up 10.98% YTD (vs. up 13.65% YTD a week ago), while the Nasdaq Biotech Index was up 7.26% YTD (vs. up 9.23% YTD a week ago). The Contest median suffered the most damage, closing up 6.58% YTD (vs. up 11.41% YTD a week ago), for almost a 50% YTD haircut.
ROCKY’s portfolio (up 42.00% YTD) held on to first place, with FILO’s portfolio (up 37.94% YTD) and DEWDIL's portfolio (up 33.99% YTD) remaining in the No. 2 & No. 3 slots.
At Friday's close, 23 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!
