Since it is doubtful that many look at the 2016 biotech contest page any more, I thought I would make a notation here about the use of the money from last years contest. Thanks to the many who sent in their pledge money to Catalyst Gardens, I learned today that they are using that money along with other donating money to purchase and install a greenhouse. This was beyond their dreams only a few months ago. The greenhouse will allow them to extend their growing season both earlier and later than they were previously able to do. Growing these vegetables at either end of the season means they will be able to offer more food to the local food bank for a longer season. So to those who donated; "Thanks"! You did good and you should feel proud. To Bulba who keeps this going through good biotech times and bad, a special "Thanks"! ........Catalyst Gardens is a 100% volunteer project so all the money donated will be used for the greenhouse building.

4/28/2017 Contest update Tweeting about high drug prices has apparently become a bore to Trump, putting biotech investors in an excellent mood. Consequently, the Contest median and the biotech indexes racked up big gains for the week. At Friday’s close, the Contest median was up 18.59% YTD (vs. up 12.83% YTD a week ago), the Nasdaq Biotech Index (NBI) was up 12.33% YTD (vs. up 8.53% YTD a week ago) and the smaller-cap S&P Biotechnology Select Industry Index (SPSIBI) was up 20.75% YTD (vs. up 14.81% YTD a week ago). The Nasdaq Composite Index (NCI) closed up 12.34% YTD (vs. up 9.80% YTD a week ago). Another week with no change in the Contest Top Three, but both BIOADD’s & TOMP’s portfolios closed in on first place ROBO’s portfolio. At April’s final market close, ROBO’s portfolio, up 56.83% YTD, remains our leader, with BIOADD’s portfolio, up 53.98% YTD, in second place and TOMP’s portfolio, up 51.64% YTD, in third place. At Friday's close, 42 of the 48 Contest portfolios are still in the green, with 36 beating the NBI and just 18 beating the booming SPSIBI. The 195 Contest portfolio stock picks have an average YTD gain of 14.77% and a median YTD gain of 9.73%, with 113 of the 195 picks up for the year. Below is the Top Ten list. Also below are the Top 5 & Bottom 5 Stocks for the week ranked by % Gained and % Lost YTD. (Prices not converted to US$ in these Tables.) Portfolio adjustments: None. (All corrections, especially adjustments for splits, greatly appreciated.) Have a relaxing last weekend in April biotechies!
