    Will M&A Activity Boost PowerShares Dynamic Biotech & Genome ETF? [view article]
    I agree that there will be continued play in the sector given the desperation of the majors to develop their own drugs internally to offset the massive patent expirations occurring over the next few years.

    Interestingly, there's a pretty strong seasonality to the biotech sector and we're still in the trough. Generally such trends are spotted quickly and evaporate due to efficient markets within a couple years, but this one's still in place it seems (I had used BBH as my proxy due to longer tenure, but trade with XBI due to better representation of the sector and less reliance on AMGN, DNA).

    The sector outperforms big time in the late fall/winter on a pretty routine basis:

    General Discussion on MLNM
    With all the talk about the buy out of Millennium.....What are your thoughts? Would it be a good idea to sell out or maybe buy up some more stock. I have held MLNM for the last 5 years and I am pleased with it's performance. Reply

    Efforts by payers to lower healthcare expenditures point to the need for medical products companies to re-orient towards cost-effectiveness. This is not necessarily bearish for med-tech companies Reply

    General Electric's Healthcare Disappointment [view article]
    Insurance is nothing more than privatized socialism. The patient has no incentive to be efficient because he "paid his premiums," and the medical providers desire to extract as much money as possible from the pools of premium monies is hardly restrained by a bureaucrat far removed from the patient/doctor exchange.

    Because of the patients lack of incentive and the medical providers unrestrained incentive, health care costs have escalated to bubble like proportions. So much so that the word doctor has become synonymous with millionaire.

    Both privatized insurance and socialized insurance, are doomed to collapse because both circumvent the consumer/producer negotiations.

    Are we approaching that point? Is the bubble bursting in the health care industry? Politicians sure have been talking up solutions to rising health care costs over the last number of election cycles. The problem is that their solutions are what created the bubble in the first place (ie socialized medicine in the form of medicare and medicaid.) Now they want to expand the program to cover everyone beyond just seniors. If the politicians get their way, there may be another leg up for the health care providers with the expanded pool of new monies brought on by coercing all to participate in health care socialism.

    Millennium Has Nothing to Fear from a Takeda Takeover [view article]
    Totally agree with you that Takeda will leave current management alone in managing the company. Japanese pharmas are not very good with finding new drugs and they are definately buying this biotech to enhance its ability. To allow Millennium to perform to its full potential, I am sure Takeda understands less invlovement is actaully the better way. Reply

    Bad for stockholders. Cash deal creates tax impact while a stock swap would give a choice. Also, I think the pipeline is worth much more. Velcade alone might well be one of the greatest blockbusters of history. I think this is deal suspect. Reply

    MGI Pharma, then PHRM, then MLNM -- BMRN is next, we think. Also hearing BIIB is still trying to get something done by year end.
