Thinking of investing in biotech? Put your money on the 3.30 at Chepstow instead
Article Abstract:
London Stock Exchange listed biotechnology firms have fallen in value by 55% since May 1996. The development of a new drug may cost 400 million pounds sterling. Some companies are very successful, such as Amgen which has made two drugs valued a total of $2 billion. Many biotechnology firms have been quoted on the stock exchange as a method of raising funds to pay for research projects. Biotechnology companies are a high risk investment. The value of their shares rises quickly when there is good news about a drug but can then fall rapidly if it is not followed by successful clinical trials.
