Amazing - I'm beating the median (barely) even though I made the mistake of thinking Chinese biotechs (2 of them) were worth investing in. Unfortunately, I still have one of them (SKBI), tho at a lower price in real life than in the contest.

11/25/11 Contest Update Despite the dismal mood on Wall Street, Gilead’s buyout offer for Pharmasset at a hefty premium was enough to propel the Nasdaq Biotech Index back in the black. And the buyout gave the Contest a new king! At Friday’s close, the NBI was up 2.30% YTD (vs. down -1.23% YTD a week ago) and the Contest median was down -12.32% YTD (vs. down -9.49% YTD a week ago). The Nasdaq Composite Index was down -7.97% YTD (vs. down -3.03% YTD a week ago). Strapped to the VRUS rocket, MCBIO’s portfolio (up 59.40% YTD) blasted into the Contest lead, with JIBAC’s portfolio (up 49.15% YTD) now in second place and ROCKY’s’s portfolio (up 33.90% YTD) holding on to third place. At Friday's close, a mere 9 of the 38 Contest portfolios were in the black, while the same 9 were beating the NBI. Below is the Top Ten list. Also below are the Top 5 & Bottom 5 Stocks ranked by % Gained and % Lost for the week (foreign stock prices are not converted to US$ in these two tables).
