For investors it was the latter, as their appetite for stocks grew following Thursday’s three-hour Nasdaq nap. At Friday’s close, the Contest median was up a smashing 50.32% YTD (vs. up 41.36% YTD a week ago), while the Nasdaq Biotech Index was up 40.97% (vs. up 37.13% YTD a week ago) and the Nasdaq Composite Index was up 21.14% YTD (vs. up 19.32% YTD a week ago). BLADE’s portfolio, up 112.22% YTD, had another hot week, extending its Contest lead, with RKRW’s portfolio, up 106.44% YTD, holding on to second place and FILO’s portfolio, up 95.42% YTD, still in third place. Meanwhile, my own portfolio, up 70.86%, got some SSH sunshine and leapfrogged into the No. 8 spot. At Friday's close, 37 of the 39 Contest portfolios were in the black with an impressive 24 of the 39 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. Portfolio adjustments: None Have a safe & fun weekend biotechies!
