Rules for constructing the Club Biomed Virtual Portfolio:

The list of stocks used to generate the Random Portfolio is below.

History:

After a spurt by Cyan that resulted in a 16% gain in early augusst, Cyan reverted to its purchase price. Vertex dropped at first, but gained with the Aug rally. By Sept 4 the protfolio had a 6.82% gain, which was due only to a change in Vertex.

By October the portfolio was off about 6% and VRTX was the only winner. We added JNJ and CTIC for a total of siz stocks. This portfolio is close to the mutual fund benchmark, which is also down 6%.

We added TLRK and TNOX in November. The portfolio is up, largely due to a huge surge in CTIC, which is up dramaticallyIt has had some sucess with a novel cancer target. VRTX continues to do well.

In January, 2003, we added IMCL and QTRN. The portfolio is now down 7.67%. Everything is down except CTIC. We have reached 10 stocks, so we will start buying two and selling one for the next 5 months. QTRN is a contract organization and their stock price has increased substaintially for the last few months.

In Feb 2003, we added Diversa and king Pharmeceuticals and sold Vertex. The sale generated a loss of $1266, but created a cash ballance, which is listed in a new table (above).

The quick turn around of Diversa netted a nice profit. we added Sepracore, which is on an up trend and Nuvelo. We had picked Hyseq Inc. but that company vanished in a merger, so I added the new company. It has a low share price and a larger per share loss each year.

Meetings were too croweded in April and May to make changes. In june we sold Syan, which was a wash. We bought AVGN, which had a spirt, but seems to bee loosing its postion.
