Welcome to the Barron Streetwise Podcast, listener question edition. I'm Jack How.

Typically on this podcast we look into a particular subject, maybe talk with a big company chief or other

guests and then I answer a listener question but this week we're doing nothing but

listener questions because for one thing we've compiled quite a few of them and for another

another our audio producer Meta listening in as always is going on vacation

Hi Meta.

Hey Jack.

I'm not going to tell everyone where you're going because I know they will all meet you there to say hello because

our listeners love you.

But I'll just say, beaches, lighthouses.

I'm going to guess big hats, umbrella drinks.

Yes. Have I said too much?

No, let's throw in sand castles.

Good. Now, I just want to mention Meta that I'm using this new microphone that you sent me. I broke my original microphone. I don't know how someone breaks some microphone podcasting, but I did. And in looking at the manual, apparently I've been using the microphone wrong for the past six months,

you're not supposed to hold on to it like you're eating an ice cream cone.

So, sorry for that. How do I sound?

You sound good, and I think you just wore your old microphone down from all the effort of podcasting.

Let's put some mileage on this microphone to get right to our first question.

Who do we have?

Our first question is from Orr, who says he's doing a PhD in biomedical sciences?

Hi Jack, I'm a big fan of your podcast been listening since the beginning.

My question is about the biotech stocks.
