Biotech's Risk-Reward Profile
- Biotech offers high upside potential with buyouts and successful drug launches.
- However, it's risky, with potential for significant losses due to negative clinical results.
Long-Term Focus and Diversification
- Focus on multi-year clinical and commercial momentum instead of short-term catalysts.
- Look for companies with multiple drug candidates to reduce risk.
Don't Be a Hero; Manage Risk
- Avoid going "all in" on any specific stock or sector, especially in biotech.
- Diversify your investments and manage risk according to your comfort level.
