"Biotechs are the ultimate recession-proof market segment," says Michael Shulman, who recommends Alkermes (NASDAQ: ALKS).
The editor of The ChangeWave Biotech Investor explains, "As investors flee companies that will be hurt by a credit crunch, money has flowed into many biotechsFears of an economic softening are pushing investors to recession-proof companies that can grow despite the economy."
Further, he contends, many biotech companies are cheap. He says, "They are at technical as well as fundamental bottoms, and sitting on large cash balances."
The bottom line, he notes: "Start considering bottom-fishing, right now. Go with growth, and companies with cash, and a good chart." One stock that he believes is "getting ready for an interesting few months" is Alkermes, the drug-delivery company.
