9/20/13 Contest Update
Apparently, the A to the Q&A on QE depends on which FRB member is queried. On Wednesday, investors were pleased with the A; on Friday, not so much. Nonetheless, despite investor ambivalence, it was another winning week for the Bulls.
At Friday’s close, the Contest median was up a sizzling 59.06% YTD (vs. up 55.84% YTD a week ago). Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Biotech Index was up 53.34% YTD (vs. up 51.36% YTD a week ago) and the Nasdaq Composite Index was up 25.01% YTD (vs. up 23.27% YTD a week ago).
Our leader, RKRW’s portfolio, continued to dazzle, finishing the week with a breathtaking 149.17% YTD gain. However, second place BLADE’s portfolio, up 132.51% YTD, also had a hot week and remains in contention. FILO’s portfolio, up 104.22% YTD, held on to third place.
At Friday's close, 38 of the 39 Contest portfolios were in the black with 23 of the 39 beating the NBI.
