Taking a cue from President Trump who wants to “get rid of the ballots” in the upcoming election, if we get rid of Monday, Wednesday & Thursday, biotechs would have had a good week. We’ll see what happens with the ballots in about 5 weeks. As for getting rid of biotech loser days, you may want to write a letter to the SEC. Meanwhile, at Friday’s close, the Contest median was up 9.07% YTD (vs. up 17.51% YTD a week ago), the Nasdaq Biotech Index (NBI) was up 12.99% YTD (vs. up 15.15% YTD a week ago), the smaller-cap S&P Biotechnology Select Industry Index (SPSIBI) was up 18.77% YTD (vs. up 24.41% YTD a week ago), while the Nasdaq Composite Index (NCI) was up 20.98% YTD (vs. up 19.65% YTD a week ago).
