On BioBizNet.com, the weekly or monthly closing prices of selected biotechnology stocks or indices are given along with various stock tables. The tables list some early stage biotechnology companies of interest that are conducting extensive research and development but have not yet entered into advanced clinical trails in any major market. The immediate success of these companies depends on discovering specific genes and protein pathways involved in disease mechanisms and their ability to capitalize on these findings.
Some biotechnology companies listed on the tables are closer to marketing products. For these companies, news regarding marketing approvals of new products in the United States, Europe, and Japan will be important.
For the mature companies that are listed, news regarding their performance versus expectations will determine short term performance. However their ability to introduce new products into the marketplace or get new indications approved for existing products will be the key to their long term success.
In addition to the above, some companies may prosper from increased U.S. health and defense initiatives and special U.S. and state targeted funding.
Also, recently, our strategy has been, in part, to add lower-priced stocks that might have more upside potential. However, these stocks will have more volatility. Considering all these factors, we are still advocates of individual stock picking. We hope that the links provided on these pages will be of help to you in this endeavor.
