1/8/16 Contest update
Not a fun way to start to 2016 – unless, of course, you were a “Big Short.” Oy vey!!!
With hopes for a Friday rally crushed, at the close of the year’s first week of trading the Contest median was down -13.01% YTD, the Nasdaq Biotech Index (NBI) was down -10.74% YTD and the smaller-cap S&P Biotechnology Select Industry Index (SPSIBI) was down -13.90%. The Nasdaq Composite Index (NCI) closed down -7.26% YTD%.
Week one bragging rights, if one cares to brag about a loss, goes to FRED’s portfolio. It took first place with a mere loss of -3.23%. Second place goes to MASTER’s portfolio, down -5.59%% YTD, with PGO’s portfolio, down -5.68% YTD, in third place.
At Friday's close, all 58 Contest portfolios were in the red, with 15 beating the NBI and 31 beating the SPSIBI. The 224 Contest stock picks have an average YTD loss of -12.00% and a median YTD loss of -11.85%.
Below is the Top Ten list. Also below are the Top 5 & Bottom 5 Stocks for the week ranked by % Gained and % Lost YTD.
Portfolio adjustments: None
(All corrections, especially adjustments for splits, greatly appreciated.)
Have a safe & relaxing weekend biotechies!
Peace & good health,
