Jeffrey -
Biotech posted sharp declines. You are up $970,2.82 across your basket of names as of yesterday's (3124) close
(detail below along with chart of Nasdaq Biotech Index and your holdings). Consider unwinding or hedging now and
watching for entry point via total return swap or zero cost risk reversal as this negative momentum bottoms out. Note:
Ariad an outlier (incrementally positive news on drug, Iclusig).
The Financial Times features an article this morning suggesting that the sell-off in Biotech is a signal of a broader
market peak.
A letter from congressional representatives to Gilead questioning its plans to sell a hepatitis C drug (named Sovaldi)
for $84,000 per dose has put the spotlight on Congress' concerns that the expense might saddle state Medicaid
programs with steep costs. US is the only major health-care market remaining without any meaningful drug price
controls — increased risk for the sector once the Congress gets involved, especially if focused primarily on pricing.
