Rolling the Dice on Bird Flu Stocks -- One Year Later

Description:

From 10Q Detective

"In 2006, scientists fervently working on a treatment for H5N1, or bird flu, fearful that infected humans in China might be the start of a possible pandemic. This interest in experimental drugs and vaccines drew investors to any biotech stock that was remotely doing anything avian-related in nature. Sadly, like Tulipomania, dot-coms, and nanotechnology stocks, investors who ro! lled the dice on bird flu stocksâ€"for the most partâ€"have lost."

These are a few companies that may pay off big if the bird flue epidemic ever becomes a serious worldwide problem.
