Aratana Therapeutics Inc (PETX), Geron Corporation (GERN), Kythera Biopharmaceuticals Inc (KYTH): Humongous Health-Care Stocks This Week

Page 2 of 2

Geron Corporation (NASDAQ:GERN) enjoyed nice gains this week, but I wonder how long-lasting that surge will be. The individual(s) who sold all of those puts could know something that the rest of us don’t. Maybe something big is on the way. It seems to me, though, that unless such a big event happens (like an acquisition or big partnership deal), Geron’s gains could be temporary.

Kythera Biopharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:KYTH) appears to have the best shot at rising substantially more in the near future. Of course, its chances hinge on the outcome of the phase 3 study. I’ll go with Kythera as the best of the bunch for this week. However, caution is advised with any of these high-flyers. What goes up can easily go right back down.
