I have a few biotechs also and have been disappointed in their returns over the past year. I also like Gilead Sciences (GILD). My Biotech Gamble is Genta (GNTA). GNTA has disappointed me continuously since I've owned it. I am hoping this October will be an updside surprise. Good luck on your Biotechs.

The biotech's have pretty much bottomed out. Take a look at the 1 and 2 year charts of the BBH and IBB. The downside risk is minimal. Looks like the group is slowly trending up.
