How do yall invest into biotech and medical stocks without having a doctorate degree?
Buy and hold in the majors or spread across an ETF is the only sure fire way.
If I have learned anything investing in the biotech industry is that you buy the rumor and sell the news to the extreme. The second they have a breakthrough drug in the works is the euphoria phase. Once they Stage 2 trials and start inching towards 3 and FDA approval is when the rosy picture becomes much more grim. As they either fail completely during trials, or struggle to get on any PBM formulary due to costs. By the time FDA approval rolls around and they start selling, the stock has sold off and will continue to unless it is an absolute blockbuster drug. Even then its a long tail because no one believes it, so its a slow rise instead of a quick flash like at the beginning.

This is so great for longterm daytrading. Much better than anything stocktwits will tell you.
Stocktwits: The tutes are massively short and should be in prison.
The market: Heading to zero.
Winner every time: The market
Here is another ticker: CLPT. Retail has bought this stock up for years just because there is a rumor that neurosurgeons buy this stock. Retail is identifying that neurosurgeons have the alpha or the edge, so they are just piggybacking into a feast or slaughter. I cant invest any more without an edge.

I’m still holding for a double from here.

2025 will be an interesting ride. Also analyst raising price target to $10 from $5.

It's snowing in New Orleans but this just warmed me up!

$1.1 billion market cap will double current valuation. Doesn’t seem very far fetched.

Anyone buy the dip yesterday?
I picked up another 2k shares in the 1.50s - 1.70s range.

Looks like 2 different analysts raised their price targets. One to $6 and the other to $7.50

Kind of like how analysts lowered IMMU price target to $5 and it was bought for $88/share soon after.

Completely bucking the negative trend. AKBA up ~28% on the year.
Yesterday’s close at $2.40 is the highest close since March of 2022. Could be breaking out finally. TBD.

New 52 week high!! Hit 2.50 today so far. Looking forward to the next quarterly earnings report. Hopefully Davita and Fresenius can get their stuff together real soon. Ramp up that revenue!!
