Great company, bad stock
Article Abstract:
Genentech and Amgen are among 40 biotech companies, which have remained independent and reached the sales and market value heights of top pharmaceutical makers. Genentech, however, is far from a great stock, as the problem for investors willing to pay for a premium for Genentech is that the stock price reflect future earnings growth and a high multiple that there is limited room to improve and greater risk of disappointment.

Article Abstract:
The biotech enzyme and microorganism world offers the opportunity of steady annual return for ten years with lower risk of loss. But there are few exceptions, investing in a biotech drugmaker which means they have to wait for 10 years or more for a first drug and then, if the drug is approved and successful, they would enjoy some nice returns.
