Big Tick BioTech: fingers are a disease of the hand

Ahh, Big ticket biotech!  The gambler’s hand – the old

Question:

What do you do with em? 

           those mind-like hands

           those schizophrenic fingers?

Fold em in? 

Or quicken em at play!?   

            These fucking stocks,

                     what are they?

Presience & science?  A roll

          (fist closed on the rosary) of golden dice?

Big ticket: deserving of the name? 

Or more importantly:

Deserving

           of a slice of your retirement?

Ok check out CELG, DNDN, and DNA, and tell me

Their volatility ain’t crazier than mackeral in May (late May).

Shit yes it’s like fishing:

There’s a big one down there somewhere:

Hands of God: the sperm whale’s fingerprints;

          giant squids and sunfish,

          maybe still some Megaldon in Argentinian/Australian deeps.

Cryptozoology

          & biotechnology

Rhyme –

          and in more ways than one;

For, many have spotted fins

Of some impossible leviathan.

But as for legendary monsters: kraken, Jörmundgandur,

Aspidochelone, even Tiamat herself: A great Sea Google?

         who can say

         oh who can say for sure?

 

Celgene, CP; Dendreon Corp; Genentech,

The sector’s leaders 

         a’leadin like punchdrunk archdukes in an army made of anarchists,

         “from bird-dogs to bar-hounds” as they say.

Look at Biogen Idec Inc, BIIB.  Or,

For a more biblical, conservative approach, Gilead Sciences,

GILD – there’s a name that at least looks kinda a little sane at least (ignore the splits). 

         though not sure if I’d say a hill of testimony or a mound of witness.

But for every Gilead, there’s

          brace yourself

If you’re not weak of heart look at the chart of CRA

From ‘99-’01:

         that was Craig Venter’s babe - mapping human DNA

But ambition got the best of them:betting

Upon the human genome foreclosed more than a few homes

(Oh if only they’d the aid of my brave trading poems!)

And caused more than four or five divorces

(Though good riddance to those would-be kids!).

Bids?

You’re feeling lucky?  Fine.  The bottom line:

A lottery ticket is a tax on stupidity

         and a biotech stock is like a tax on lottery’s modality.

Or, if you don’t get my meaning, try this:

         a biotech stock may tax your health,

         but then DNDN could discover something that will let you live forever

         and make you a millionaire simultaneously — and believe me

         you’ll need that money in eternity!

 

Ok, Investors, stay away,

No matter how much you think you know your stuff

          or know your stuff

Avoid these stocks.

They’re the realm of the day-trader’s mists and mazes.

But if you absolutely must,

In GILD we kinda trust? 

And for some reason DNDN. 

          call it a hunch.
