How to Invest in Biotech Stocks -- Everything You Need to Know

Biotech is notoriously risky. The odds of a drug getting FDA approval are staggeringly low, and even then companies aren’t in the clear. Investors might just think biotech is just way too risky to bother with… but it doesn’t have to be.
In this week’s episode of Industry Focus: Healthcare, host Shannon Jones and Motley Fool contributor Brian Feroldi share three methods that can get you exposure to biotech-style gains without taking on so much of that going-to-zero-overnight risk. Listen in to hear the pros and cons to investing in sector-wide ETFs, contract research organizations, and picks and shovels plays -- plus, of course, some companies to add to your watchlist in each of those categories.

Thank you. Good content. Would be good to list the stock tickers at the end for the companies discussed in the podcast.

[@curtmiller3339]

It's great that more people are interested in investing in biotech. My recommendation is to look for companies that can offer you good returns and that are growing as FSD.

Thanks for sharing this video. I know something about Biotech. Biotechnology is a broad area of biology, involving the use of living systems and organisms to develop or make products. Depending on the tools and applications, it often overlaps with related scientific fields.

Biotech is the future ...

[@leihoa]

Interesting, but most of these stocks are now bubbles, with P/E at 250 or so. 2020 is madness.

[@yollagelsin2553]

[@scottpostma6392]

How in the world is this a video about how to invest in biotechs?? All you did is list biotech companies you like to invest in. You need to retitle the video.

[@killoreo]

Why are ROE on biotech companues so negative (-) ??? Ex: SRPT(-75.87) or BLUE (-41.20). Yet people have made so much money off them in past couple of years??? I dont get it.

[@Cainoah]

Short sell or options

[@BorisGligorijevic]

There is a reason, here is my take on it:
If a biotech company is losing money, people still hope they will turn around with some new patent etc. During this „hope“ period, investors push prices higher and higher. Who bought earlier and sold later - earned nice money. Similar to Bitcoin. For me this is more speculation than investing, so I stay away from it, but some people still earn money in the process.

[@lexiemaep7930]

You have to buy before it pops, sell after. It will pop depending on the phase

[@djseoz5158]
