By Lou Basenese
Tuesday, June 22, 2021 Remember that biotech resurgence [I told you]( to expect at the end of April? Well, itâs happening â and itâs an urgent trend that requires your immediate attention and investment. The only problem, of course, is trying to figure out what biotech stocks to buy out of the roughly 700 available on major exchanges. But fear not. Today, Iâm stepping in with an easy-to-use tool to help you find only the most compelling biotech stocks. Before I get to it, though, I first need to prove this boom isnât about to go bust any time soon⦠ADVERTISEMENT

All We Need is a Spark As I shared [two weeks ago](, sentiment always matters. And a single event or data point can spark a major change in market direction. That happened on June 7, when the FDA approved the first drug in 20 years to treat Alzheimerâs disease. Sentiment and, more importantly, trading activity, changed immediately as investors rushed in to scoop up shares of the major biotech ETFS â the iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF (IBB) and the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (XBI). Hereâs the chart I shared to prove itâ¦

At the time, I also told you that this resurgence in biotech bullishness wouldnât be short-lived. And it wasnât! Look no further than the IPO market for the additional confirmation. Record-Setting Pace Following the FDAâs historic approval, Wall Street institutions funded more than 10 new biotechs via IPOs in a single week. As Endpoints Newsâ Max Gelman noted, it was âone of the busiest [biotech] IPO weeks of the year.â Indeed. And that doesnât happen if the âsmart moneyâ isnât bullish in the short- and long-term. Thatâs clearly the signal theyâre sending with their capital. Consider: Year-to-date, biotech IPOs have collectively raised close to $9 billion, according to Endpointsâ tally. And that doesnât include nearly $15 billion raised via SPACs focusing on biotech.

âWith the end of the second quarter rapidly approaching,â notes Gelman, âthe industry is well on its way to eclipsing 2020âs record IPO figures.â Of course, a boatload of newly public biotech companies means there are more and more choices for everyday investors. And sorting out the promising biotechs from the most promising ones keeps getting harder. But here's a simple way to narrow the list down to only the most promising biotechs... Follow the Smart(est) Money All great companies have some form of financial backing. For example, for decades, Warren Buffett has been heralded as the premier financier. And throngs of investors have simply followed his lead and earned market-beating returns. In the case of biotech companies, theyâre often backed by venture capitalists first and then other private funds. Both groups are typically off limits to everyday investors like us. But just because we canât invest directly with these funds doesnât mean we canât invest directly in the biotech companies they own. You see, just like we can track Buffettâs moves, we can track the moves of the smartest investors in biotech. For example, I track the investments of a biotech fund called RA Capital Management. Since 2008, RA Capital has averaged annual returns of over 35%. Thatâs an incredible, better-than-Warren-Buffett track record. By almost double. Hereâs the thing: over the course of my career, Iâve compiled a list of other super successful biotech investors, which Iâm including below.

Thanks to SEC regulations, these funds must disclose all their trading activity every quarter â new purchases, additions, and sales via [Form 13-F](. And we can track these filings at sec.gov or via specialized websites like whalewisdom.com. Slight Delay, No Big Deal Now, itâs true these filings arenât required until 45 days after the end of each quarter, meaning thereâs a delay in us following the moves of the smartest biotech investors. But it doesnât matter. You see, most biotech stocks donât just blast-off within 45 days of investment by these funds. Since these funds need to buy such large stakes, they typically get positioned earlier, ahead of key catalysts, building positions over time. That leaves us plenty of time to⦠- Track their filings. - Do our own due diligence. After all, I donât believe itâs smart to blindly follow the smart money. - Invest in the best of the best, based on our research.
Bottom line: Youâre now armed with a list of top biotech investors. And now, in an instant, you can track them to dramatically reduce the universe of biotech stocks down to a handful of the most promising ones. And in about 45 days from now, weâll get a fresh batch of 13-F filings. So get ready! Ahead of the tape, [Lou Basenese]
