Biotech stocks might be the movers next week. There's going to be a biotech industry confernece next week that should put the focus on biotech stocks. Does anyone know of a good biotech stock to play? Fall Rally In Biotech Stocks? Industry Experts, Execs To Give Updates At Investor Forums In NY/NJ, Boston Sept. 12 and Sept. 15 ENGLEWOOD, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 9, 1998--Has the long-awaited biotechnology stocks rally finally begun? Or has the buying wave driving up other stocks in Monday's gigantic stock market rally merely hoisting up the biotechs, too? To find out the latest developments in this potentially exciting, but long-depressed industry, company executives and industry experts are addressing individual investors at Informed Investors Forums in Englewood, N.J. and Boston on Sept. 12 and Sept. 15, respectively. Executives from eight public companies in Englewood, and 12 companies in Boston, plus industry experts at both sites, are taking time out of their busy schedules to give individual investors the same presentations normally dedicated only to institutional investors and industry analysts. Also, those who cannot attend the forums can either order audio tapes, get transcripts, or, in the case of the Boston Forum, hear the presentations via audio-streaming. ''This is an important week for biotech investors in the Northeast,'' said Steve Chanecka, president of Sacramento-based Informed Investors (www.informedinvestors.com), ''because they are getting their first opportunity to have exposure to our Forums. Attendees at our Forums simply love them because they are inexpensive, interesting and very worthwhile in uncovering excellent companies. To hear the executives themselves and ask questions, that's a real value in our Forums.'' Capsule summaries of the two Forums are listed below: NY/NJ Biotech Stocks Forum, Sept. 12, 1998 TIME: 8:30 a.m.-12:45 p.m. WHERE: Englewood, N.J. Radisson, 402 S.
