<biotech=a risky endeavor> huh? <rant> Microsoft is down 30% YTD, so how is it that in the same article we see biotech tagged with "riskiness". I've noticed that just about every time anything is said about biotech these past few weeks, it is catagorized as being a "risky" sector, or a sector for "gamblers". What a crock, the whole market is risky--I especially love the bullshit cliches like "dollar cost averaging" and "diversification" etc etc--that might help smooth out the bumps, but it isn't going to help a bit if you suck. Buy a freaking index, or pick your stocks. Anything in between is giving the "industry" a cut of the action--why do that? I'll bet 90% of mutual fund "investors" don't know what the hell their funds own (after msft, csco, intc of course--heheh)--"investing" in Microsoft. What does MSFT do with their earnings--in part they buy small upstart companies, and lots of treasureies I suppose, I'd rather cut out the middle man here too. And another thing... If I hear McCamant drop Imclone and Isis again next time he speaks I am going to freakin' spew. Doesn't this guy have any new ideas? </rant>
