12/31/14 Final Contest Update It’s Official: DEWDIL is the winner of the 2014 Biotech Stock Charity Contest!!! In a challenging year for smaller cap biotechs, DEWDIL’s portfolio finished the year with a remarkable 124.47% gain!!! Congratulations & Mazel Tov to DEWDIL!!! DEWDIL picked the Macula Vision Research Foundation as his charity. He has noted the following: “MVRF is unusual insofar as they apply 100% of received donations to research grants for leading ophthalmologists. (The Foundation’s overhead expenses are funded by the founders from a separate source.)” Here’s a direct link to where you can make a donation to MVRF: mvrf.org (If possible, please attribute your contribution to the 2014 Biotech Charity Contest.) In past years, a few contestants have wanted to contribute to a charity I chose along with that of the winner’s charity (no obligation, of course). As I did last year, I’m choosing the East Bay College Fund as my charity. Here’s the link to their website: eastbaycollegefund.org (If possible, please attribute your contribution to the 2014 Biotech Charity Contest.) Congratulations & Mazel Tov are also deserved by the No. 2 & No. 3 Contestants. In a race that went down to the wire, DIEGO’s portfolio, up 106.76% for the year, took second place & DOUGH’s portfolio, up 105.97% for the year, took third place. (DOUGH happens to be a top biotech Tweeter. You can follow him at: @dougheuringaria.) The Contest median finished the year up 18.55%! The larger-cap Nasdaq Biotech Index finished the year up 34.10%. The Nasdaq Composite Index finished the year up 13.40%. 32 of the 46 contestants finished the year in the black. 17 of the 46 contestants beat the Nasdaq Biotech Index. The median Contest portfolio stock (NVDQ) finished the year up .79%. *Below is the final Contest Top Ten list:* 12/31/14 Rank Name Profit/Loss 1 DEWDIL 124,472 2 DIEGO 106,756 3 DOUGH 105,973 4 WATCHIT 97,605 5 PGO 82,316 6 DONS 76,106 7 STEVEL 73,287 8 MCBIO 67,105 9 GHMM 54,654 10 GUERL 49,910 I’ll be posting additional 2014 Contest data over the next few days.
