Brian,

I've only managed my own portfolio for about 3 months now (I've learned a lot). One biotech that has gone up over 33%...is GZTC. I believe that they have excellent technology and potential. Take everything you read with a grain of salt. If an analyst says that a biotech company is a buy in the short term or long...do your own research and come to your own conclusion. Some analysts just look @ a product nearing the end of trials...but do not analyze the science behind the drug...thus when the product does not get approved they are shocked and lose $$$. Also look @ the companies management and there actions. Are they stock holder friendly? What is there strategy for getting $$$? Are they experienced? Some of the biotech companies have poor management(in my opinion), and will waste $ pursuing approval of drugs that are doing lousy in trials...thus get rejected by the FDA. Try to imagine the impact that the drugs in development will have on the market...will people use the drug? Why would people use it over its competition? What is the potential market cap?

To me, great science + great management = great potential

...but it is still a risk because I'm sure that we all know people that do not live up to their potential.

I hope this helps.

Best of Luck

Where'd He Go?
