December 20 Biotech Update

Well, this has been a strangely interesting day for the week before Christmas. I thought the bulk of news was done but I clearly spoke too soon. There is some good news for the sector as well as some good-well-maybe-bad-let-us-argue news. I am going to go through these as sort of quick hits as none […]

January 6 Biotech Update

The year is really off to a bad start and I am not sure what will reverse it. You have continued bad news with China, which is continuing the rout in commodities and strengthening the dollar killing emerging markets and it seems like the US market. Outside of some bright spots in the service sector, […]

March 27 Biotech Update

The sector is in bounce mode. While I certainly think there is room for a rally after the sharp selling, I would not read this as an all clear. Yes, the downdraft took some of the overvalued names down pretty far but this seems too orderly and easy for it to be done. Obviously, we […]

January 16 Biotech Update

Well, this morning started a little better but I am much more interested in how the market ends as we were due for at least a short term bounce. Ironically, the new focus on the Swiss currency has removed it from oil which is doing well (perhaps investors burned by the Swiss need to cover […]

January 9 Biotech Update

A weak start to the day but there seemed to be a lot of volatility, so it is hard to get a sense of exactly where the market wants to go. I suspect the early pressure is lower but a late day rally would signal that bulls are once again in charge- meaning that the […]

January 5 Biotech Update

It was a little more quiet on the news front than I would have expected but still some positive news to discuss as well as provide some color on my 2015 small cap views. I am going to use both CEMP and CNAT to start the discussion as they highlight a couple of interesting points […]

January 2 Biotech Update

It is a good start to the New Year and it is only a matter of time until we start seeing facts talking about years in which the market opened higher end positive X% of the time. In any case, it is nice to see a positive start to the year and it will be […]

December 19 Biotech Update

After a set of very strong rallies, it would probably be constructive for the market to trade sideways for a bit but the pressure for managers to chase may be too great as their benchmarks are that much higher after the recent rip. In any case, it was a relatively benign open to the market […]
