12/28/12 Contest Update
A good gain by CLSN helped GENE’s portfolio, up 145.78% YTD, widen its lead over second place RKRW’s portfolio, up 126.89% YTD. BIOMAV’s portfolio, up 58.92% YTD, remained third place.
With only one trading day left before the Contest ends, it seems highly probable the GENE portfolio 19% lead will hold and it will wind up in the 2012 winner’s circle. I’ve sent a PM to Geneguru asking that he consider posting his charity choice early so those who want to take a 2012 tax deduction for their donation will be able to send it off in time.
Looks like Santa Claus fell off the naughty fiscal cliff and won’t make it to Wall Street this year, bringing his annual rally time tidings to investors. At Friday’s close, the Contest median was up 23.00% YTD (vs. up 26.22% YTD a week ago). In comparison, the Nasdaq Biotech Index was up 29.79% YTD (vs. up 32.86% YTD a week ago), while the Nasdaq Composite Index was up 13.63% YTD (vs. up 15.96% YTD a week ago).
At Friday's close, 6 of the 38 Contest portfolios were still in the red, with 15 of the 38 portfolios beating the NBI.
Below is the Top Ten list. Also below are the Top 5 & Worst 5 Stocks ranked by % Gained and % Lost for the week.
