biotech bubble

Wall Street pundits are claiming we are on the precipice of a biotech bubble because biotechnology stocks have been soaring. The Nasdaq Biotechnology Index has climbed 44% in the last year. The Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 have climbed just 9% and 11% in the same time.

But it's the last week that has traders panicked about "bubble" territory.

From March 20 through March 26, the Nasdaq biotech index dipped 7%. The S&P biotech index dropped almost 11%.

These tremors could signify a correction in the coming months - but make no mistake - the "bubble" is not about to burst on biotech stocks...

There Is No Biotech Bubble; Here's the Real Story

By , Biotech Investing Specialist, Money Morning -

Some analysts feel that the biotech sector's recent tumble is evidence of the biotech bubble bursting.

But they're wrong; the market is simply in a period of adjustment.

The premise behind the bubble idea is that biotech companies as a group are overvalued, that their market caps aren't supported by performance. In other words, that their perceived value is all smoke and mirrors.

The problem with that argument is, these analysts are using a mass of technical indicators to support it. Anyone who's followed start-up biotechs knows that's a fool's errand.
