re: btk. (excerpted from b.c story on seasonal sector strengths)

"The biotech sector is not only ending its best stretch (Dec through Feb for an avg gain of 25.8%) but March also marks the start (and fortunately the end) of its worst period for an avg loss of 8.4%. The components include: AFFX, AMGN, BGEN, CRA, CEPH, CHIR, DNA, GENZ, GILD, HGSI, IDPH, IMNX, IVGN, MEDI, MLNM, PDLI, VRTX."

don't know if it'll be true this march, but, i'll certainly have AFFX in my sights.

The smaller the bio company, the more important are the various market sources for money.
IPO and Venture Cap money is easier to find with good markets.
Small bio companies need funding so they need good markets and the funding it brings.
This may explain the lag you have observed.
