3/15/13 Contest Update
On Wednesday white smoke wafted over the Vatican in Rome, signaling the selection of a new pope who reportedly likes to cook his own meals. Meanwhile, on Wall Street, where J.P. Morgan Chase reportedly likes to cook its books, it’s still a mystery what investors have been smoking.
At Friday’s close, the Contest median was up 15.85% YTD (vs. up 16.24% YTD a week ago), while the Nasdaq Biotech Index was up 13.76% (vs. up 13.55% YTD a week ago) and the Nasdaq Composite Index was up 7.60% YTD (vs. up 7.45% YTD a week ago).
FILO’s portfolio, up 35.35% YTD, held on to the Contest lead, with NIGEL’s portfolio, up 34.99% YTD, remaining in second place and RKRW’s portfolio, up 34.15% YTD, moving back to third place.
At Friday's close, 34 of the 39 Contest portfolios were still in the black with 21 of the 39 beating the NBI.
