Gilead Biotech Aiming High

Although the ideas I share with you all revolve around currency pairs, I thought I'd share another specialty of mine: Biotech and pharma stock. If you're in the field, you may have already heard about Gilead having one of the best price to earning ratio of the major biotech companies. You may have also noticed the sharp decline that they experienced in the summer of 2015 which has largely been attributed to a loss in momentum due to the expiration of their patents and increased competition in the market. One could also argue that investors selling their stock contributed to the snowballing drop that seems to still be underway.

Despite all this, there has been a lot of positive news recently with current projects that were once in the pipeline (such as Harvoni and Sovaldi) that have now been approved for the treatment of Hepatitis C. This puts them squarely back in competition with AbbVie and other similarly sized companies. In addition to other projects, the temptation of selling put options on Gilead at this very attractive price should yield dividends within the coming years. That said, the reversal is still not quite there yet but this is a very long term play that you should be ready for.

As with currency pairs, this idea can turn on a dime so you should always take the necessary precautions!
