7/13/2018 Contest update
Bears expecting a triskaidekaphobic tumble were disappointed, with Friday being another green day for most stock indexes. An exception, the biotech indexes, still managed small gains for the week but not the Contest median.
At Friday’s close, the Contest median was up 20.84% YTD (vs. up 23.44% YTD a week ago), the Nasdaq Biotech Index (NBI) was up 10.95% YTD (vs. up 8.93% YTD a week ago), the smaller-cap S&P Biotechnology Select Industry Index (SPSIBI) was up 18.48% YTD (vs. up 18.31% YTD a week ago) and the Nasdaq Composite Index (IXIC) was up 13.36% YTD (vs. up 11.37% YTD a week ago).
Contest leader, KMASTR’s portfolio, up 81.97% YTD, had a rough week as its top gaining stock pick, ARQL, priced a secondary at a discount. ALIAS’s portfolio, up 68.51% YTD, continued in second place, while THID’s portfolio, up 62.92% YTD, moved into third place.
At Friday's close, 50 of the 62 Contest portfolios were in the green, with 43 beating the NBI and 33 beating the SPSIBI.
The 230 Contest stock picks have an average YTD gain of 13.00% and a median YTD loss of -3.07%, with 109 showing a gain 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 YTD. (Prices not converted to US$ in these Tables.)
Portfolio adjustments: None.
(All corrections, especially adjustments for splits & mergers, greatly appreciated.)
No Contest update next week as I’ll be up north consorting with our "backstabbing" neighbors.
Enjoy a relaxing July weekend biotechies!
Peace & good health,
Bulba
