One biotech's 80% single-day plunge: A case study for investors

Season 1 Episode 860 Published 4 years, 6 months ago
Description

Biotech Kodiak Sciences (KOD) plunged 80% in one day after a major drug trial setback. 

In today's episode, we focus on why this company captivated Wall Street… and what investors can learn from the selloff. [1:45]

I've been following Kodiak for a while… We once bought and sold it for a gain in Curzio Venture Opportunities. Even recently, the Baker Brothers—some of the best biotech investors—were buying heavily. [3:40]

But this week… the Phase 3 study for its most exciting drug missed expectations. [7:50]

The situation is a strong example of why investors must pay attention to expectations—both high and low… and be willing to adjust as facts change. [11:00]

When expectations are leaning either bullish or bearish, consider the contrarian trade… It's how you make the biggest gains as an investor. [26:00]
