6/10/16 Contest update
Judging by the week’s market action, investors are less than enthused by their presidential candidate choices in November. And then there’s a worrisome much earlier vote; Brexit on June 23. How about those Warriors!
Meanwhile, at Friday’s close, the Contest median was down -26.47% YTD (vs. down -21.31% YTD a week ago), the Nasdaq Biotech Index (NBI) was down -20.95% YTD (vs. down -16.76% YTD a week ago), while the smaller-cap S&P Biotechnology Select Industry Index (SPSIBI) was down -20.83% YTD (vs. down -17.52% YTD a week ago). The Nasdaq Composite Index (NCI) closed down -2.25% YTD (vs. down -1.30% YTD a week ago).
We have a new leader! MASTER’s portfolio got a big boost from SPHS and is up 14.18% YTD. In contrast, DNAJOE’s portfolio, up 11.76% YTD, had a lousy week and slipped to second place. GENE’s portfolio, down -2.29% YTD, moved into third place.
At Friday’s close, 56 of the 58 Contest portfolios were in the red, with 19 beating the NBI and 18 beating the SPSIBI (now down a bit less YTD than the NBI). The 224 Contest stock picks had an average YTD loss of -20.43% and a median YTD loss of -23.03%, with 46 of the 224 Contest portfolio stocks up for the year.
Below is the Top Ten list. Also below are the Top 5 & Bottom 5 Stocks for the week, ranked by % Gained and % Lost. (Prices not converted to US$ in these Tables.)
Portfolio adjustments: ONTY (Oncothyreon) symbol & name change to CASC (Cascadian Therapeutics).
(All corrections, especially adjustments for splits, greatly appreciated.)
Have a safe & fun weekend biotechies.
Peace & good health,
