The Federal Reserve Playing Analyst Damaging to Biotechnology Companies
ACCESSWIRE - Wed Jul 30, 9:06AM CDT
WHITEFISH, MT / July 30, 2014 / The July 15 U.S. Federal Reserve report on monetary policy touched off a barrage of barely polite and not very muted commentary from one end of the web to the other this past week with 32 simple words: "Equity valuations of smaller firms as well as social media and biotechnology firms appear to be stretched, with ratios of prices to forward earnings remaining high relative to historical norms." The release of the report to Congress coincided with the start of Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen's testimony before a Congressional committee. NBI, the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index, slumped from around 2,700 on Tuesday to a low of 2,536 on Thursday, a 6% nosedive, before paring the losses with an up day on Friday. Of the 120 companies in the NBI, 101 closed in the red last week, including Ligand Pharma (NASDAQ: LGND) shedding 19.4% and Raptor Pharma (NASDAQ: RPTP) falling 18.7%.

The Federal Reserve Playing Analyst Damaging to Biotechnology Companies
ACCESSWIRE - Wed Jul 30, 9:06AM CDT
WHITEFISH, MT / July 30, 2014 / The July 15 U.S. Federal Reserve report on monetary policy touched off a barrage of barely polite and not very muted commentary from one end of the web to the other this past week with 32 simple words: "Equity valuations of smaller firms as well as social media and biotechnology firms appear to be stretched, with ratios of prices to forward earnings remaining high relative to historical norms." The release of the report to Congress coincided with the start of Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen's testimony before a Congressional committee. NBI, the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index, slumped from around 2,700 on Tuesday to a low of 2,536 on Thursday, a 6% nosedive, before paring the losses with an up day on Friday. Of the 120 companies in the NBI, 101 closed in the red last week, including Ligand Pharma (NASDAQ: LGND) shedding 19.4% and Raptor Pharma (NASDAQ: RPTP) falling 18.7%.
RPTP: 10.99 (+0.02), LGND: 51.89 (-2.34), CTIC: 2.56 (+0.15), ATHX: 1.37 (-0.03), ACOR: 35.06 (+0.60)
