Biotech stocks and index - Good years to come!

An index of biotech drug companies shares has climbed nearly 50 percent in the past 12 months to all-time highs as the industry starts to launch drugs developed by identifying genes associated with disease.
The rise at such a fast pace is triggering the inevitable talk of a bubble. Although it can follow the opposite direction. Manly because of a problem of the insdustrie itself.  90 percent of experimental drugs that reach mid-stage testing in humans do not make it past that point.
Compared with a year ago, the Nasdaq Biotech Index, which is weighted by market cap, is up 45 percent. Over the same period, the S&P 500 Index has gained 25 percent.


BEST AND WORST BUSINESS

English: Wall Street sign on Wall Street

Gilead Sciences, the world's largest maker of branded HIV drugs, is viewed as the leader in a race to develop a more safe and effective therapy for hepatitis C, a market Wall Street expects to garner billions of dollars in annual sales.
Short interest in biotech companies with market caps between $2 billion and $10 billion has fallen to 9.2 percent from 11.3 percent in the past 12 months, while short interest for companies with market caps of $500 million to $2 billion has increased to 15.2 percent from 12.7 percent over the past year.
Wall Street analysts estimate that shares of large-cap Gilead, which have more than doubled over the past year, trade at about 26 times 2013 earnings and 12 times 2015 earnings.
The question is how long the rally will continue.
Consensus estimates call for average combined annual earnings growth of 21 percent for biotechs in the next three years, compared with 9 percent for S&P 500 companies, according to Deutsche Bank.

"Biotech is both the worst business in the world and the best business in the world”. The decision is on you to invest or not to.
