12/4/2020 Contest update
(Contest and Index YTDs are calculated from 1/3/2020 close.)
It may be a few more months before investors are Covid-19 vaccinated but clearly they’ve already been vaccinated against fear of a stock market swan dive.
At Friday’s close, the Contest median was up 23.25% YTD (vs. up 19.33% YTD a week ago), the Nasdaq Biotech Index (NBI) was up 25.05% YTD (vs. up 21.26% YTD a week ago), the smaller-cap S&P Biotechnology Select Industry Index (SPSIBI) was up 45.82% YTD (vs. up 40.79% YTD a week ago), while the Nasdaq Composite Index (NCI) was up 38.17% YTD (vs. up 35.31% YTD a week ago).
Although, this week, JBOG’s portfolio suffered a bit of a setback due to TRIL’s decline, it still leads the Contest with a 283.53% YTD gain. Both second place FILO’s portfolio, up 170.02% YTD and third place MASTER’s portfolio, up 125.13% YTD also got hit by the TRIL drop.
At Friday's close, 32 of the 42 Contest portfolios were in the green, with 20 still beating the NBI and 12 now topping the high-flying SPSIBI.
The 197 Contest stock picks have an average YTD gain of 36.39% with the median still in the green with a YTD gain of 2.11%.
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.)
For those who haven’t yet read my earlier post, after 15 years I’ve decided to retire as Contest scorekeeper. If you’d like to take over the 2021 Contest, please let me know and I’ll be glad to help with the setup. If you can’t commit to weekly updates but are able to post less frequent updates I imagine that would be acceptable to Contest participants.
Enjoy a safe and relaxing first December weekend biotechies.
Don’t forget to wear your mask and social distance.
Peace & good health,
Bulba
