 Genzyme Rejects Bid From Sanofi Aventis

Are Biotechs Too Cheap?


genz genzyme 300x176 Genzyme Rejects Bid From Sanofi AventisThis morning people woke up to shares of Genzyme Corp. (NASDAQ:GENZ) trading sharply higher in pre-market trading. On Sunday, Genzyme received an $18.5 billion offer from Sanofi-Aventis (NYSE:SNY) which comes to $69 per share.

The bid was rejected by the Genzyme Board despite their recent manufacturing issues. This decision could send a sign that many bio pharma stocks, including Genzyme are undervalued. We will probably see some increased volume and news flow early in the week from this sector. Especially with the mid and large cap names.

This M&A activity also bodes well for some of the unknown and under followed names on the OTCBB. Unlike most other sectors, excluding mining penny stocks, tiny microcap biotech and bio pharma stocks do get funding from larger companies from time to time.

For instance, giving a potential hot biotech penny stock $5 or $10 million dollars in R&D money is a small risk to take for a multi-billion dollar corporation looking for a new that could potentially become part of their pipeline.

While I can’t say for sure, it is probably safe to say that you will see some of the top penny stock newsletters writing about this trend in the next few weeks. Please keep in mind that the vast majority of biotech and biopharma stocks are very risky, and shouldn’t be owned by the feint of heart. However, this group has offered some investors some of the most massive gains.

So if you decide to buy one these biotech names of of a penny stock list, make sure you invest small. Also, when investing in a biotech always check their cash position and burn rate. These two numbers will tell you how much money the company has and how quickly they go through it.

 Biotechnology Stock Genzymes (GENZ) Hostile Takeover

Another Way to Play Genzyme (GENZ)


biotech stocks genzyme genz1 Biotechnology Stock Genzymes (GENZ) Hostile TakeoverBiotech company Genzyme (NASDAQ:GENZ) was the subject of takeover rumors. CNBC’s David Faber broke the story on a possible hostile takeover bid from Sanofi-Aventis (SNY-NYSE). Shares of Genzyme rallied sharply and are up roughly 17% at the time of this entry.

As many of you know, the vast majority of takeover rumors don’t happen. However these rumors offer both traders and investors the opportunity to make fast, short term profits on both the long and short side. Sometimes the best way to play hot stocks like GENZ is through an ETF. For instance,there is a biotech ETF run by Merril Lynch (AMEX:BBH). Shares of BBH represent ownership in several different biotech companies, including GENZ. Genzyme accounts for roughly 7% of BBH’s holdings.

When a stock like GENZ gets hot, volatility increases too. While shares of takeover stocks often offer more liquidity than penny stocks, they are just as risky. If an investor is right, he can attain returns that are only usually seen in hot IPO’s or hot penny stocks. If wrong, 20-30% intraday pullbacks happen frequently. In other words, the wishy-washy trader is usually shaken out.

This is why ETF’s are attractive, and keep in mind this doesn’t only apply to BBH. Buying shares of an ETF in lieu of buying a takeover stock offers less upside, but it also offers a less risky way to trade. The rationale is very simple. Many investors are afraid to jump is a stock that has moved up in a short period of time. Even if they think the equity will continue to move higher. So many times, the investor just passes on the idea and kicks them self later for being on the sideline. Now, by buying the ETF that contains the same equity, they still get to participate. Not fully, but they are represented. This strategy isn’t for everyone, but it decreases risk and small gains add up. So get familiar with a few different ETF’S and their symbols. Remember, when stocks that are in an ETF moves, the ETF sometimes lags behind. The rules of supply and demand still apply, but you have to be quick and prepared. SO add in addition to your large cap and penny stock lists, throw a few ETF’s on your stocks watchlist too.
