The author shows you specific methods for researching and selecting your biotech investments, without having to have any type of indepth knowledge in the biotech world. He even gives you advice on organizing your research data. The author then goes on in providing different detail methods in evaluating and implementing your investments. The author provides clear cut examples of how to make your biotech investments using options (both puts and calls) and how to hedge your investments to minimize risks while maximizing potential gains. The author does assume you have an existing knowledge of options, and he tells you this early in the book. If you do not have an indepth knowledge and understand of options and the different option strategies (which I did not) I still highly recommend this book. Then do like I did and find a separate book that simply deals with learning to understand options. If you are like me though and are thinking about focusing on biotech investing, or perhaps are already investing in biotechs, and want to learn how to improve your results while hedging against the risks... then I highly, highly recommend this book. I definitely feel it is the best investment I have ever made on the subject of investing in biotechs. One last comment, to those reading my review: I have absolutely no connection with the author, the publisher, or any other associated party related to this book. I am simply an individual investor that was, and is, trying to continue to advance my knowledge and improve my own investing skills. I simply came across this book on desertcart, while looking to see what books were available on biotech investing.

Life is to shot I read about ten books in options, but which is the best? I think the books are like an exercise machines most of them collect dust in the corner, except for ones that you actually use.

For example, how exactly to 'handicap' a phase III trial? It goes into no detail on the though process to establish a bullish, bearish, or neutral bias. Although it does clearly explain the ancillary information that might be required in analyzing a biotech company (cash burn, potential value, insider activity, and potential dates) it has no chapter or discussion on how to even begin to determine if a specific drug will pass/fail Phase III trial. Now granted that may be impossible to do in reality with a high degree of probability, but there is not a single case study of a trade to go through the entire process. Also missing is any discussion of how to obtain analysts estimates as a retail trader since most is only available to institutional clients. That being said the book does do a decent enough job explaining what it does have chapters on including analyzing the cash positions of a firm and creating trading strategies around a specific bias. Unfortunately it never goes into how to exactly establish the bias via explanation or case studies. Finally the author alludes to many possible potential short term trading opportunities such as a tendency for stocks and volatility around or after a specific announcement, but never elaborates on any. A chapter on this alone would've been worth 10x the price. Mr Pelz has done a pretty good job with this one but it's only HALF COMPLETE.
