Biotech Stocks 2016 – Below is a list of my top biotech stocks for 2016. Biotech Stocks are very volatile because companies are constantly releasing drug data which could make or break the company. Finding the best biotech stocks is not an easy task. The top biotech stocks to buy are probably biotech stocks that have missed a key trial but will eventually rebound. Less risky biotech stocks are probably your best option because they likely already have a good drug or two and have solid earnings. I will highlight the top biotech stocks to watch right now but do your own research and understand that these biotech stock picks can rise or tank with one piece of news.

Top Biotech Stocks 2016 – Stocks to Buy – Biotech Stocks – Bluebird bio (BLUE) – The best drug stock to buy in 2016 is still Bluebird bio (BLUE). Bluebird bio, Inc. (BLUE) is back trading in the $50’s after recently hitting $100. BlueBird’s Beta-thalassemia drug Lentiglobin, replaces the defective gene with one that is fully functional. It’s a one-time treatment with the goal of freeing patients from requiring chronic blood transfusions, or reducing the volume of blood transfusions. BLUE will be a top biotechnology stock in 2016 and I’m expecting shares to again rally up to $80. but expect a lot of volatility.
