1/14/11 Contest Update Quite a few of the Contest portfolios came flying out of the gate, with the Contest median’s Friday close showing a 4.49% gain for the first two weeks of 2011. This beat the 3.86% YTD gain for the Nasdaq Composite Index and the 3.22% YTD gain for the Nasdaq Biotech Index. Super-charged by CRIS, our Contest leader is RRGE’s portfolio, up an astounding 17.97% for the year’s first two weeks. The two-week gains of No. 2 ROBERT’s portfolio, up 12.97% YTD and No. 3 MCBIO’s portfolio, up 12.50% YTD, are almost as remarkable. At Friday's close, 36 of the 38 Contest portfolios were in the black with 27 of the 38 beating the NBI. Below is the Top Ten list (to my surprise, I made it). 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). Portfolio adjustments: None Have a terrific weekend biotechies! (All corrections, especially adjustments for splits, greatly appreciated.)
