11/23/2018 Contest update
Stocks continued to be battered this week but at least we now know who is to blame: thehill.com
As for biotechs, thanks to a welcome post-Thanksgiving Friday rally the sector was off a bit less for the week than the broad market.
At Friday’s close, the Contest median was down -4.68% YTD (vs. down -4.51% YTD a week ago), the Nasdaq Biotech Index (NBI) was down -3.14% YTD (vs. down -1.56% YTD a week ago), the smaller-cap S&P Biotechnology Select Industry Index (SPSIBI) was down -7.62% YTD (vs. down -6.19% YTD a week ago), while the Nasdaq Composite Index (IXIC) was up .52% YTD (vs. up 4.99% YTD a week ago).
First Place THID’s portfolio, up 57.16% YTD, second place KEOKA’s portfolio, up 54.80% YTD, and third place SPTAD’s portfolio, up 54.02% YTD, all managed gains for the week and held their Contest rankings.
At Friday's close, 26 of the 62 Contest portfolios were still in the green, with 29 beating the NBI and 34 beating the SPSIBI.
The 230 Contest stock picks now have an average YTD loss of -7.56% and a median YTD loss of -23.83%, with 78 still 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.)

Enjoy a safe and relaxing fall weekend biotechies!
Peace & good health,
