1/17/2020 Contest update (Contest YTD is calculated from 1/3/2020 close.) Contest portfolios put on another peachy performance with the Contest median continuing to beat the biotech and Nasdaq Indexes. At Friday’s close, the Contest median was up 7.56% YTD (vs. 4.43% YTD a week ago), the Nasdaq Biotech Index (NBI) was up 3.01% YTD (vs. 1.91% YTD a week ago), the smaller-cap S&P Biotechnology Select Industry Index (SPSIBI) was up 3.06% YTD (vs. 1.67% YTD a week ago) and the Nasdaq Composite Index (NCI), was up 4.08% YTD (vs. 1.75% YTD a week ago). This week, ADAP was the object of biotech investors’ affection and cash. ADAP more than tripled for the week, with only FILO’s portfolio being a lucky holder. It’s no surprise that FILO’s portfolio, holding both last week’s and this week’s top performing stocks (TRIL & ADAP), is in first place with an awesome 43.93% YTD gain. JBOG’s portfolio, up 27.91% YTD dropped to second place and KMASTR’s portfolio, up 18.91% YTD, moved into third place. At Friday's close, 39 of the 42 Contest portfolios were in the green, with 30 beating the NBI and the same 30 beating the SPSIBI. The 197 Contest stock picks have an impressive average YTD gain of 8.60% and a median YTD gain of 3.90%. 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: 1) BOLD buyout closed. I used 1/15 close for reallocation. DEWDIL’s portfolio was only holder of BOLD. 2) ARQL buyout closed. I used 1/16 close for reallocation. DEWDIL’s portfolio was only holder of ARQL. (Note that 4 of 8 stocks in DEWDIL’s portfolio had confirmed buyout bids prior to the Contest submission deadline. So, in effect, the entire $100,000 (or close to that amount) was being bet on the remaining 4 stocks. Although this strategy was not prohibited by this year’s Contest guidelines, if I run the Contest next year I’ll probably include such prohibition.) (All corrections, especially adjustments for splits & mergers, greatly appreciated.) Enjoy a safe & relaxing Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend biotechies!
