6/5/15 Contest update
On Wednesday, Harvard announced they named a building after hedge fund billionaire John Paulson in exchange for $400 million. Earlier in the year, Chinese billionaire Gerald Chan paid Harvard $350 million to name a building after his dad. Here’s my idea. How about the winner of this year’s Contest picks Harvard as her/his charity on condition they name a building after yours truly. It would save me the tsuris of making a billion. And either Bulba Hall or Bulbaman Hall would be acceptable. Thanks in advance.
Meanwhile, riding a team of immuno-oncology biotechs, Contest portfolios continued on their merry exuberant path. The Contest median closed Friday up 35.55% YTD (vs. up 30.70% YTD a week ago), the Nasdaq Biotech Index was up 20.93% YTD (vs. up 20.27% YTD a week ago), while the smaller-cap S&P Biotechnology Select Industry Index was up 30.74% YTD (vs. up 27.77% YTD a week ago). The Nasdaq Composite Index was up 7.02% YTD (vs. up 7.05% YTD a week ago).
Helped by a booster shot from Advaxis, Contest leader, DEWDIL’s portfolio, up 96.52% YTD, edged nearer a double for the year. MCBIO’s portfolio, up 83.20% YTD and GUERL’s portfolio, up 78.90% YTD, held on to the number two and three positions.
At Friday's close, 50 of the 51 Contest portfolios were now in the black with an impressive 38 beating the NBI and 32 beating the SPSIBI. The 206 Contest stock picks have an average YTD gain of 25.81% and a median YTD gain of 11.00%.
