11/14/14 Contest update
Biotechs were headed for a small weekly gain when they succumbed to the “Friday the 14th” hex. And when they rang the closing bell, both the Contest median, now up 3.98% YTD (vs. up 4.50% YTD a week ago) and the larger-cap Nasdaq Biotech Index, now up 27.24% YTD (vs. up 28.15% YTD a week ago) wound up down a bit for the week. The Nasdaq Composite Index, however, managed a small weekly gain, closing up 12.26% YTD (vs. up 10.92% YTD a week ago).
Clearly, there was no jinxing of DEWDIL’s portfolio this week as it vaulted into the Contest lead with a 90.01% YTD gain! DIEGO’s portfolio, up 85.15% YTD, slipped to second place, while WATCHIT’s portfolio, up 73.65% YTD, held third place.
At Friday's close, 28 of the 46 Contest portfolios were in the black, while 12 of the 46 beat the NBI. The median Contest portfolio stock (KARO.ST) is down -8.22% YTD.
Below is the Top Ten list. Also below are the Top 5 & Bottom 5 Stocks ranked by % Gained and % Lost for the week. (Prices not converted to US$ in these Tables.)
