Big Pharma, Bio, Energy industries

I am looking to diversify my portfolio, mostly containing technology stocks at the moment.

What companies do you think I should keep a watch for in the pharmaceutical, biotech and energy industries?

I personally think oil companies are overvalued at the moment and will get superseded by greener energy companies as the new stars in energy.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record,buy commodities on dips.They are negatively correlated to your tech holding and would offer the perfect hedge.Look at RJI.

Diversification is for your long term retirement portfolio. If you can manage a high-risk portfolio, I suggest staying with sector you're mostly comfortable with to maximize return.

Take a look at GETG, looks promising but I only recommend a small % or your port. ...LONG... but it may prove to be 'tradable' for short term gains.

Take a look at coal companies in the energy sector. Even though it seems counter to the clean energy trend I think there may be a longer term growth story there. Maybe JRCC
