5/13/16 Contest update
Yes! Another outstanding week for biotechs! Hey, we would have been fine if the market had been closed Wednesday & Thursday. Well, at least biotechs bucked the broad market on Friday and managed a small gain. Not impressed? I don’t blame you. But keep your spirits up, biotechies. Next week is my birthday week, so it’s sure to be winner
At Friday’s close, the Contest median was down -31.58% YTD (vs. down -30.34% YTD a week ago), the Nasdaq Biotech Index (NBI) was down -24.98% YTD (vs. down -24.48% YTD a week ago) and the smaller-cap S&P Biotechnology Select Industry Index (SPSIBI) was down -28.28% YTD (vs. down -28.42% YTD a week ago). The Nasdaq Composite Index (NCI) closed down -5.79% YTD (vs. down -5.42% YTD a week ago).
