Create Your Own Diagnostics ETF
 
<> With HealthShares closing shop at year-end , including the former Diagnostics fund, investors who are interested in the space can create their own ETF comprised of companies from the ETF Innovators Preventive Medicine and Emerging Diagnostics Indexes. Below is a list of companies which have stocks listed for trading in the U.S. at over $1/share with a market cap of less than $10B, focusing on smaller companies which are more leveraged to diagnostics and represent possible takeover targets for larger players such as Roche (...

Analyzing Sequenom's Offer for EXACT Sciences

<> Since I profiled EXACT Sciences (EXAS) in late December as part of the ETF Innovators Emerging Diagnostics Index , EXAS announced that its stool-based DNA [sDNA] screening test was added to the colorectal cancer screening options in 12 more states + Washington DC and the Company received an unsolicited, all-stock buyout offer from Sequenom (SQNM) after the market close on Friday, which is valued at $41M or $1.50 per share.

It has not been an easy ride for EXAS since I first wrote about the Company in October 2007, ...

Every once in a while, a press release crosses my desk that catches my eye as something more than a vain attempt by PR flacks to keep their jobs. <!---->Maybe it contains some new widget I can get excited about, or maybe it just contains something that makes me think. This time is definitely the latter.

ETF Securities released a press release on June 4, 2008 that had some interesting numbers in it. Numbers like 475% and 2,700%. Now, those numbers look interesting all on their own - but they tell you nothing without context.

...Again, I am going to try to be extremely brief with a post. Looking through the top % gainers on the NYSE today, I came across an old favorite of mine, Laboratory Corporation of America (LH) which closed at $80.00, up $5.56 or 7.47% on the day. I do not own any shares of this stock, nor do I own any options.

I first posted LH on Stock Picks Bob's Advice on June 20, 2003, as one of the earliest posts on this blog. At that time, the stock was trading at $30.68. With today's close at $80.00, this represents a gain of $49.32 or 160.8% since posting.
