Our First Newsletter of 2020, We Come out Swinging!
Yes, you read it right. Five of our favorite Biotech stocks that have the potential to double in 2020.
But what you didn’t read above is that these stocks have the potential to at least double in the next year – with one expected to gain ten-fold, within the next three years.
This is the first time since we launched the Biotech Stock Review in 2002 that we’ve issued price ideas on a ‘package’ of stocks. If we’re right on making a reputation risking call like this, we’re going to look pretty genius!
If we’re wrong or even way wrong..well, there’s always next time. We’ll add if it takes two years for the group to double, would that be so bad? We are nonetheless highly confident we’ll pull this feat off – and with flying colors.
By ‘expect’ as used in the headline, we really mean have ‘potential’ if everything goes right, which they rarely do – along with a continued robust stock market. Expect just sounds better! But in the legal world, hope is more applicable and accurate than expect.
We’re looking to make this a six-pack of ideas (of course), so send your candidates and rationale to Roland at InstitutionalAnalyst.com. Every idea below came from ‘others’ such as brokers, hedge funds and/or large shareholders at the time we first added them to the Watch List. We have no pride in authorship, we just want to hear good ideas and then share them.
We’ll add a page on our website dedicated to reporting the news and the progress of these stocks as well as the sixth if we find it.
May the force be with us, tell two friends.
