Biotech Investing Do's and Don'ts Biotech is exciting as all heck, extremely risky, changing faster than teen fashions, and challenging to understand. But if you've got passion and time and can follow high school biology, it could just be for you. If so, you're already on your way to learning about biotech.
Excitement is a good thing.
All it takes is desire, time, and high school biology. But, the company better have a plan to make enough money to justify your investment. DON'T buy because you read in the papers or saw on TV or read on a website that a company has something interesting that worked in the lab. It will have to work in humans, and that takes years of testing and a lot of money . Other countries have their counterparts, too, so the new thing isn't going to just slip through elsewhere.
