12/11/2020 Contest update
(Contest and Index YTDs are calculated from 1/3/2020 close.)
Biotechs had another excellent week, with the likely approval of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine presumably helping the sector.
At Friday’s close, the Contest median was up 29.32% YTD (vs. up 23.25% YTD a week ago), the Nasdaq Biotech Index (NBI) was up 27.01% YTD (vs. up 25.05% YTD a week ago), the smaller-cap S&P Biotechnology Select Industry Index (SPSIBI) was up 52.13% YTD (vs. up 45.82% YTD a week ago), while the Nasdaq Composite Index (NCI) was up 37.22% YTD (vs. up 38.17% YTD a week ago).
As the the week’s 4th worst losing Contest stock, TRIL did major damage to portfolios holding its shares. Although JBOG’s portfolio remained Contest leader its YTD performance was hit hard, finishing the week with a still impressive 187.41% YTD gain. Second place FILO’s portfolio, up 147.59% YTD, was also hurt by TRIL’s decline and DOUGH’s portfolio, up 104.52%, moved into third place supplanting MASTER’s portfolio, another victim of TRIL’s drop.
At Friday's close, 33 of the 42 Contest portfolios were in the green, with 21 now beating the NBI and 11 now beating the SPSIBI’s awesome YTD performance.
The 197 Contest stock picks have an average YTD gain of 36.71% with the median barely in the green with a YTD gain of 0.34%.
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.
