Correction – Since my IRA#1 is invested in only one fund, currently CashReserves, it is going to invest in the best fund, SBiotechnology, rather than in SmallCapGrowth.
Since IRA#2 is invested in five funds, and currently has an investment in SBiotechnology, it is going to invest in SmallCapGrowth.

 

Receptos, Inc. (RCPT) is a biotech stock with total revenue of about 5M none from sales. It went public about 2 years ago at a price of 15. It closed this week after receiving a buyout offer which created a 15% increase to 229. At that price it has a total market value of 7B+. In it’s 2+ years it has not had any product sales. Anyone see a biotech stock bubble here? There are 100+ biotech companies with no earnings. This activity looks exactly like 1999 when the bubble was in any stock ending in .com . Enjoy the gain, but be ready to sell when the investment starts to go down. From the end of 1999 to the summer of 2002 the NASDAQ Composite declined 78%.
