2/8/13 Contest Update
The Reverse Super Bowl Indicator turned out to be as false a prophesy as the Mayan Calendar foreboding. This not only caused consternation for 49er fans but also confused investors, as they now wondered whether the standard Super Bowl Indicator as well as the January Barometer were equally unreliable. So, not surprisingly stocks followed a zig zag pattern much of the week.
At Friday’s close, the Contest median was up 7.35% YTD (vs. up 7.32% YTD a week ago), while the Nasdaq Biotech Index was up 6.96% (vs. up 7.82% YTD a week ago) and the Nasdaq Composite Index finished the week up 5.77% YTD (vs. up 5.29% YTD a week ago).
Although CYTK gave up some of its gains, MOPGCW’s portfolio, up 23.30% YTD, held on to the Contest lead. RKRW’s portfolio, up 21.58% YTD, moved to second place and FILO’s portfolio, up 19.94% YTD, fell to third place.
At Friday's close, 33 of the 39 Contest portfolios were in the black with 22 of the 39 beating the NBI.
Below is the Top Ten list. Also below are the Top 5 & Bottom 5 Stocks ranked by % Gained and % Lost YTD (foreign stock prices are not converted to US$ in these two tables).
