But Trump’s blaming the pharmaceutical industry for pushing his impeachment didn’t help. At Friday’s close, the Contest median was up 2.22% YTD (vs. up 3.47% a week ago), the Nasdaq Biotech Index (NBI) was up 2.83% YTD (vs. up 2.42% a week ago) and the smaller-cap S&P Biotechnology Select Industry Index (SPSIBI) was up 6.67% YTD (vs. up 6.02% a week ago), while the Nasdaq Composite Index (NCI) was up 20.30% YTD (vs. up 19.66% YTD a week ago). BULBA’s portfolio continued as Contest leader with a 74.38% YTD gain. ARTHUR’s portfolio, up 43.50% YTD, edged into second place while ANDRE’s portfolio, up 42.74% YTD, slipped to third place. At Friday's close, 23 of the 39 Contest portfolios were in the green, while 18 were beating the NBI and 15 were beating the SPSIBI. The 167 Contest stock picks have an average YTD gain of 6.87% and, back in negative territory, a median YTD loss of -2.13%. 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.
