5/22/2020 Contest update
(Contest YTD is calculated from 1/3/2020 close.)
What’s that? Judging by the performance of their stocks, you might think that’s how small-cap biotech investors would respond to a question about Covid-19. Here are the week’s copacetic statistics.
At Friday’s close, the Contest median was up 10.97% YTD (vs. up 6.26% YTD a week ago), the Nasdaq Biotech Index (NBI) was up 12.78% YTD (vs. up 11.66% YTD a week ago), the smaller-cap S&P Biotechnology Select Industry Index (SPSIBI) was up 13.69% YTD (vs. up 9.74% YTD a week ago), while the Nasdaq Composite Index (NCI) was up 3.37% YTD (vs. up 1.11% YTD a week ago).
JBOG’s portfolio, up 104.81% YTD, remains our Contest leader, but second place FILO’s portfolio, up 92.38% YTD, had a big week and closed the gap by quite a bit. IPOL’s portfolio, up 70.88% YTD, held on to third place.
At Friday's close, 31 of the 42 Contest portfolios were in the green, with 18 beating the NBI and 18 beating the SPSIBI as well.
The 197 Contest stock picks have an average YTD gain of 24.71% with the YTD median at 5.54%.
