I agree with your assessment. If someone has been in tech stocks and lost money the last two months I doubt they will switch money to biotechs unless they are familiar(already involved) with the sector. Why would anyone who has lost money and is fearful of losing more, shift funds into a sector with which they have no direct knowledge or familiarity?
The only gains of funds invested in the biotech sector are going to be from those already in it, that understand and are looking for a great opportunity or directed by an investment advisor.
Even this may be tempered. I personally am a tech investor that believes in ligands potential. I have slowly switched dollars into ligand. I have great faith in this company and Ligand represents a core long term hold for me, however, I do not now feel compelled to continue my investing immediately. All my investments will now be opportunistic.
Unless there is compelling news released, this stock could languish with the market for some time to come.
