William Chin Gilead Sciences Inc. GILD-Q WATCH May 09, 2016

In past years, biotech was the safe trade, but this year risk is back, so these stocks have fallen out of favour. Also, there are so many drugs in trials now and big pharma needs new product. She's looking at Gilead and Moderna, because they have low PEs and alot of drugs in development. However, the overall sector is risky. 

Has long owned this, because it's a value stock and keeps raising its dividend.

Chart pattern indicating weakness in the company.
Risk lower than the past year.
$60 share price a good time to buy. 

Healthcare is down 2% year. He likes the devices in HC, with Stryker his top pick. Surgeries are coming back, and the company has a new suite of products coming.

It's a biopharma which as a group did very well last year. Compare that to the smaller biotechs which have not done well the past 3 years. This year, biopharma and staples have underperformed. This boasts a high free cash flow yield and has a great product cycle coming. 

High flyer because of Hep C, so successful it isn't needed on an ongoing basis. Its HIV drug was equally successful. Ironically, success impacted growth of those drugs negatively. Decent dividend. 

The business isn't worth as much as the stock is selling, even though shares have recently bounced back.

Hitting 52-week highs. Caught his attention because last week they beat top and bottom lines. After consolidating 9 years, it's starting to break out. Doesn't know this well enough to see if this breakout will hold, but worth watching.

He waited a long time to see performance, but patience paid off. Earnings are accelerating, fueled by their HIV platform.

He had owned it for 10 years at a time when it had a blockbuster drug that cured hepatitis. Gilead took profits and invested them into HIV drugs. As with other drug companies holding patents on blockbuster drugs with expiry dates, don't buy this one.
