'IVGN' is no longer valid. It has changed to LIFE ======== Invitrogen brings good things to life... Okay, that's either something from a commercial or a Frankenstein movie. [No endorsement, product placement, nor offense intended to anybody.] In any case: HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!

11/28/08 update Appropriately, investors had something to be thankful for Thanksgiving week. At Friday's close, the Nasdaq Composite Index was down -42.10% YTD (vs. -47.81% YTD a week ago), while the Nasdaq Biotech Index was down -19.29% YTD (vs. down -25.13% YTD a week ago). And the Contest portfolio median closed down -38.74% YTD (vs. down -46.92% YTD a week ago). By week's end, two of the contest portfolios had moved into the black YTD and 5 of the 33 are beating the NBI. First place Gene's portfolio closed the week up 11.8% YTD, with No. 2 ROBERT's portfolio closing up 2.0% YTD. I'm assuming the contest end date will be Friday, 12/19. So, with three weeks to go, it's certainly possible for longtime leader GENE's portfolio to be overtaken. Enjoy those Thanksgiving leftovers folks! Below is the Top Ten list on 11/28/08: 11/28/08 Rank Name Total 1 GENE 11,758 2 ROBERT 1,963 3 JACK -11,115 4 CASA -17,643 5 ROCKY9 -17,690 6 SJEMM -22,928 7 LJM -28,263 8 TECHNET -30,042 9 HAMMER -31,199 10 RCMAC -32,350 (All corrections, especially adjustments for splits, greatly appreciated.)
