Well...the first Q is over and the rankings are as follows: Hopper still leads with a gain of 15.1%. Close behind is RRanney with a nice 13.9% gain. These are the only two with double digit increases, but Rick just missed out with a cool 9.9% gain. In total, there are 15 portfolios in the GREEN and 13 in the RED. Bringing up the caboose is Elmer with a drop of 17.5% in his portfolio. It appears that Nigel has the best % gainer, with PDGM being that stock. PDGM is up a whopping 123.4%...however, it is a penny stock. The best stock up that didn't start as a penny stock (under $1.00) is FLML (Up 64.4%)..and that is one of my selections. Sure wish it wasn't a French company...so that I could brag about it! (:>) So I guess I will have to go to CIPH as it is the second best gainer of the over $1.00 shares, as it is up 63.5%. This has been one of Hopper's best selections. The stock that has benefited the most portfolios, is VPHM (Up 56.8%). It is in 4 portfolios. May the second Q be better for us all...especially for the stocks that we actually own.

This information and 50 cents will get you a cup of coffee at the local diner.... USA Today posts a quarterly performance ranking for the various sector mutual funds. The first Q's Health/Biotech ranking of 23 funds shows that the best for the Q was Profunds (Up 11.3%) The lowest ranking was Munder with a negative (8.8%). Of the 23 funds, 15 were positive for the Q and 8 negative. The average return for the 23 for the Q was a meager 1.2% gain. The past 12 months performance for the 23, shows a negative (23.1%). Now compare these results to "Our Gang" and you find that as of today, 9 of our members have beaten the Profunds gain of 11.3%. Those being....Iceberg (30.0%) Does this man have ***** of steel, plus a crystal ball? RRanney (15.9%) TexasDude (15.8%) Hopper (15.3%) Tuck (14.3%) JackH (14.0%) Raul (13.3%) J.D.Kelley (13.2%) Wilder (12.2%) Move over Warren Buffett, we have a new kid in town and even the Titanic knows he is bad! To all a good weekend....(:>)
