7/7/2017 Contest update
On his way to Paris, when President Trump was asked why he wants his Mexican border wall to be transparent, he gave this explanation:
“When they throw large sacks of drugs over, and if you have people on the other side of the wall, you don’t see them — they hit you on the head with 60 pounds of stuff? It’s over. As crazy as that sounds, you need transparency through that wall.”
Incroyable! Just add the word “Street” after “wall” and President Trump has also explained how the stock market works and why Wall Street should be regulated.
Meanwhile, at Friday’s close, the Contest median was up 24.71% YTD (vs. up 21.49% YTD a week ago), the Nasdaq Biotech Index (NBI) was up 19.46% YTD (vs. up 17.92% YTD a week ago) and the smaller-cap S&P Biotechnology Select Industry Index (SPSIBI) was up 33.72% YTD (vs. up 32.44% YTD a week ago).
