Biotech posted sharp declines. You are up $970,282 across your basket of names
as of yesterday's (3/24) 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.
