*OT* That is certainly what we saw with Incyte...I was kicking myself for not catching the move from 19 to 26...and by gosh, now it's below $18--you know, a fellow pointed out I'd get another chance, looks like he was right.
I'm sure Yahoo and all that other crap was up today however. Dang, let's get the rotation underway. Hmmm, many of the third tier biotech stocks have market caps of 50M, and a number of these should have 200M/year drugs out in a few years. Let's see...should I pay something like five bucks a share for a typical third tier biotech, or 200 bucks a share for Yahoo? Where is the real growth going to come from...we have gone over and over this. The boomers greying, biotech valuation, incredible change and discovery in the biotech sector etc etc, it all adds up to the obvious choice. Just have to be patient and keep buying shares.
Sure, Yahoo (at 40B marketcap) does pull in 200M right now, and you don't know for certain which of the third tier biotechs will have drugs on the market several years from now. But it does seem that the risk reward is very reasonable. Even if only 1/3rd of my picks have a drug on the market in a few years, I'll still have done spectacularly.
All you can do when you think about the comparison between these two sectors is shake your heads and cry tulips!
I have to say, tulips are pretty, but it's only a matter a time before they drop their petals, wilt and bend over, then melt back into the ground...gone by summer they will be. |
