Thanks You so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -AJ - Alwin Thu, 01 Oct 2009 10:14:20 +0100 http://www.biomedreports.com/200909108862/qaa-qhow-do-i-make-money-in-this-sectorq.html#comment-909 Mr Garza Thank you for your response. Once I identify a promissing field like biomakers for ex ,how do I found cpnies working on therapeutics in that field. Do you have books ,articles(even if it costs) ,websites( free or not )that you would recommand me in order to learn( I have some science education;I am a french dentist although I don t practice here) Thank you for time and information - bernard Thu, 17 Sep 2009 15:25:16 +0100 http://www.biomedreports.com/200909108862/qaa-qhow-do-i-make-money-in-this-sectorq.html#comment-900 Kim Le, I think both those stocks have significant room to run up and are both still undervalued. Dave, I tend to agree with you, actually. This is a rigged game in many respects and the quicker you get on the right side of the game, the better. One way to do that is good market intelligence and knowing the playground rules. This article touched on both those things. This sector of the market has the power to make us all very wealthy, in my opinion more quickly than any other sector, but you have to learn what certain events mean for the companies and stocks involved. You can't learn that on your own. You need guidance from books, others. Jose, Glad to hear you are making money. That is my absolutely favorite part. I think this could be a big week or even month for BIEL. It's up to the company to screw things up, really. They have a lot going for them. If things continue, I see no reason for it to be a big success for both the company and investors in months/years to come. I'd consider leaving some of the huge profits in for the long term once you hit your goals with the current run. I did that with CTIC and others that i had gotten into at the five cent level and it proved to be a better choice than others where I had taken my profits and gotten out way too early. Still, follow your own plan and gut. - M.E.Garza Sun, 13 Sep 2009 06:16:05 +0100 http://www.biomedreports.com/200909108862/qaa-qhow-do-i-make-money-in-this-sectorq.html#comment-898 I am a very new and also a foreigner, and just start to invest about two months. I have found BMR site by accident. I am losing money on my stock selection... that make me very cautious of spending money. I wonder with your membership, is there any trial period that I could try first, before I buy to become the member? One thing that I am afraid is, to understand your report... since some of your members have a difficult time to understand. thank you in advanced - Moto Sun, 13 Sep 2009 03:01:11 +0100 http://www.biomedreports.com/200909108862/qaa-qhow-do-i-make-money-in-this-sectorq.html#comment-895 It suck so bad... I tried to buy some BIEL on Friday and Scottrade said "Can't Buy... It set to sell only" Does anyone has the same problem? - Johnson Sat, 12 Sep 2009 16:47:11 +0100 http://www.biomedreports.com/200909108862/qaa-qhow-do-i-make-money-in-this-sectorq.html#comment-883 I bought Biel in the 0.0057-.0061 bc of that report and i bought millions of shares and im doing really good... waiting for it to hit a 0.25-0.50 or even a buck to cash out big... - Jose Arroyo Sat, 12 Sep 2009 09:12:58 +0100 http://www.biomedreports.com/200909108862/qaa-qhow-do-i-make-money-in-this-sectorq.html#comment-876 Your site is awesome, you guys definitely are on top of the biotech industry. Although the calender is sort of annoying because I cant cut and paste, it is totally worth it and I've made 50 times the cost of joining since I've started 1 month ago! - kirchart Sat, 12 Sep 2009 01:55:13 +0100 http://www.biomedreports.com/200909108862/qaa-qhow-do-i-make-money-in-this-sectorq.html#comment-873 You don't make money in the stock markets unless you work on Wall St. The whole system is skewed agaisnt us retail investors.Really were all just breaking even unless you have professional help and insider information. - Dave Fri, 11 Sep 2009 10:20:34 +0100 http://www.biomedreports.com/200909108862/qaa-qhow-do-i-make-money-in-this-sectorq.html#comment-872 the site is great i check it several times day you guys need to fix the forums page or have some means by which members can communicate with one another - plutomania.inc Fri, 11 Sep 2009 07:23:35 +0100 http://www.biomedreports.com/200909108862/qaa-qhow-do-i-make-money-in-this-sectorq.html#comment-866 Hi; I'm a new investor too, with about 40+ trades to date over a few months, and am currently abut 15% down due basically to stupid mistakes. What I have found tremendously interesting, though scary, is using real-time quoting software like e-signal, with which you can have up to 200 cos. on the screen, and to see those numbers dance red and green is amazing. That way you can surf stocks shooting up, and by quick I mean 10s of % in minutes, if you catch them at the right time, or catch them at bottom if they fall badly. You need real-time software because so many times I've read tips on this site, then failed to observe them-50%+ gainers! It's highly nerve racking, and I've kicked my self so many times for not buying, but for now am just watching. I have a question. I live in Japan-how on earth do I buy OTC shares? Thanks. Great site Garza and Havrilla! - Tom Hamilton Thu, 10 Sep 2009 16:17:07 +0100 http://www.biomedreports.com/200909108862/qaa-qhow-do-i-make-money-in-this-sectorq.html#comment-865 I really enjoy the research and articles from BMR. The only thing I would like changed is too much of the information is given out on seeking alpha free when I would rather have members get a 2-3 day preview. - Pitt4Rx Thu, 10 Sep 2009 15:32:37 +0100 http://www.biomedreports.com/200909108862/qaa-qhow-do-i-make-money-in-this-sectorq.html#comment-864 Like many others, I want to say thanks. Your website is great, and the cost of being a subscriber has already paid for itself 10 times over in the last month since I joined. I look forward to making more money with a lot of help from your great research. Keep up the good work and good luck to all!!! - alankorskey Thu, 10 Sep 2009 14:12:43 +0100 http://www.biomedreports.com/200909108862/qaa-qhow-do-i-make-money-in-this-sectorq.html#comment-862 [quote]Before BioMedReports, investors were paying tens of thousands of dollars a year for this FDA calendar information. We gather, update, organize and make the information available to our subscribers for a very reasonable fee. BEWARE of sites promising free FDA Calendar information. They do not update the data and often publish outdated or flat out wrong information and that will quickly cause you to lose money. Their intentions are often malicious, and while they pride themselves in giving away the information for free, the truth is that they actively hit their members up for "donations" and harvest e-mail accounts and personal data for other uses. Worse yet, they end up causing damage to the bio investment community by flooding the market with bad intelligence. at the end of the day, you get what you pay for.[/quote] Well said! I've had to argue this point on numerous forums. As well, I've also had to call out many who directly copy and paste from biomedreports.com. I appreciate all the work you guys do here. The reports, blog, and FDA calendar has helped to make me a much more informed investor. - Alluvian Thu, 10 Sep 2009 12:12:04 +0100 http://www.biomedreports.com/200909108862/qaa-qhow-do-i-make-money-in-this-sectorq.html#comment-861 Mr. Garza, As you mentioned about BIEL, do you think it will have room to go higher and how high? i'm planning to add more positions but don't want to get caught in the pumps. I also have positions in SPPI as well in 6's, and planning to hold long but it's hard to see the pps going down. any thought? Thanks in advance. - Kim Le Thu, 10 Sep 2009 12:03:53 +0100 http://www.biomedreports.com/200909108862/qaa-qhow-do-i-make-money-in-this-sectorq.html#comment-860 I just recently joined biomed reports and want to say "THANK YOU"!! Prior finding this site, I was doing all of the research on my own. I was eating, drinking and sleeping research. Thank you for reassuring me on being patient. Panic set in on HGSI and didn't make as much as I should have. I am ordering one of the books right now to kick into gear. I find the site very user friendly and to say the least, extremely helpful, but I am sure any changes you make will be positive ones. The one suggestion that really hit me was having the stock ticker price next to stock. That would be GREAT!!!! Again, thanks for all of your hard work. - Joann Irvine Thu, 10 Sep 2009 10:15:58 +0100 http://www.biomedreports.com/200909108862/qaa-qhow-do-i-make-money-in-this-sectorq.html#comment-857 we need more updates an alerts during before an after a stock jumps or slumps....i took a huge hit on ACAD after i took huge gains i followed it up to 6 an since it rose so high on spec i thought ppl new something an i bought more after i profited an i got caught but so far im doin well keep up the good info i luv ur site im making money no complaints here just more info needed more updates more networking get everyone involved... - marc tino Thu, 10 Sep 2009 08:15:22 +0100 http://www.biomedreports.com/200909108862/qaa-qhow-do-i-make-money-in-this-sectorq.html#comment-854 Bernard, Finding diamonds in the rough- like BIEL and SPPI- require lots of research and hard work. We started talking about BIEL when it was under a penny, and it's now at .09 with more room to run. We are constantly looking for "gems." We call companies, speak to insiders, go to conferences- like the one we're at now here in New York City- all with one purpose. Find some great stocks to both trade and invest in. Mike Havrilla, has a fantastic track record of uncovering small cap biomed plays with bright futures. I've seen him post analysis for a particular company and the stock jumps to over 100% gains that same day. I like to find companies that have a great story to tell, as well as solid catalysts and news events that are going to drive the price higher. Today, for example, I stumbled upon a mindblowing opportunity in the small cap sector that is directly related to some of the big advancements being made in the Alzheimers field. I can't believe this opportunity, so now i go to work researching the company, talking to the CEO, trying to get a sense of where they are now and where they are going. I'll be happy to let you know how that turns out- by the way. It's a difficult sector too because unlike traditional stocks, many of these biotech companies are not profitable, some never have been- so the way you "value" a company is much different in this space. Most of the plays in this sector are speculative- based on potential news, development, approvals, discoveries, medical break-throughs, clinical trial data, etc... It takes getting a firm grasp of the rules and language first and foremost (that's why I recommend the books to start). Once you know the rules of the game and what they mean, then you can get a better feel for how to play a stock (long or short for example) given a particular piece of news or a development. It takes time, research and looking under every rock. Soon, when we launch some of these more interactive features, we'll ask YOU what stocks you like and why.. Then we can help do some of the investigation, evaluation and interviews if need be to polish up the find- or expose it as fools gold. I think this place will become way more interesting and profitable in the future. Keep the feedback coming. - M.E.Garza Thu, 10 Sep 2009 07:48:41 +0100 http://www.biomedreports.com/200909108862/qaa-qhow-do-i-make-money-in-this-sectorq.html#comment-852 I offer free stock advice and have worked in the industry for awhile now. Check out articles posted on Seeking Alpha. You can find my advice on the following pages. http://biopharmainvestor.blogspot.com/ Check out my 10 rules for investing BioPharma. http://biopharmainvestor.blogspot.com/2009/08/10-rules-of-investing-biopharma.html Good Luck. Watch out for FDA decisions. They are risky and can make or break a company even in Phase III trials with positive results in previous trials. Most clinical trials do not succeed. Diversify and only invest 5-10 percent of your portfolio in 1 trade. If you can afford to lose it invest more for more Risk/Reward ratios. - BioPharma Investor Thu, 10 Sep 2009 06:46:17 +0100
