  • Yea, I’ve seen cashing out the principal+next investment and letting the rest ride.

  • Ah yea, biotech has been around for a while now and almost all best selling drugs are biotech drugs now a days.

  • Unsure if you’re genuine or trying to be edgy, but I’ll bite—-yes, most of them make significant profits currently.

  • Not op, but I’m in the field and can give you some things to read about:

    - CAR-T

    - CRISPR

    - PRIME editing

    - Base editing

    - Modified mRNA

    - PD-1 inhibitors

    - On the cusp of personalized cancer vaccines

    - ADCs

    - Structure correctors

    - Targeted protein degraders

    - siRNAs

    These have all really hit their stride in the past 15 years. Guess where all of them initially came from? Random ass government-funded academic research. Sure, you can split hairs with me on the 15 years and NIH/NSF etc funding, but it’s basically true. We are killing the golden goose…

  • This is a perfect analogy.
