about dan watson
about Dan Watson aka, danwatson888
Since 2010 I have been focused on researching and investing in Pharmaceutical, Biotech, and Medical Technology companies. I focus on companies that are developing medicines or have developed medicines for diabetes, Alzheimer’s, cancer, hepatitis, Crohn’s disease, and others. I have been very successful with this investment strategy since 2009. My first successful healthcare/biotech investment was on March 12th, 2009 when Roche® purchased a biotechnology company that I held stock in - Genentech®. Roche’s purchase of Genentech for $46.8 Billion was the motivation to review the entire healthcare sector. Highlighted below are companies that I have or have had long positions in since 2010 and I will occasionally trade in and out these companies. From my perspective the biotech sector has been on a bull run since 2009.
On February 7th, 2018, 2 days after the ^VIX inspired high volatility crash/correction on February 5th and 6th of 2018, I again went “all in” on the Healthcare sector. More importantly the cancer death rate in the U.S. fell 13% from 2004 to 2013 according to those who track such information. On 2/6/2018 the ^VIX was at or near 50?! To put this ^VIX # in perspective the ^VIX on 3/8/2022 ranged between 34.32 -36.45. On this date 3/7/2022 Russia is raging full scale war on Ukraine, WTI crude oil is between $110-$119/barrel, wheat prices are skyrocketing, almost every major city in Ukraine is being bombed by the Russian military, the Russian rubble is now worth less than 1 cent and the Russian economy is in freefall!
Please be advised that I am not a financial adviser/investment adviser, and I have no business relationship with any of the company’s who are mentioned below. I have worked for Unilever®, Grey Advertising®, Hasbro®, Toys R Us® and other companies prior to 2010. I consider myself, insightful regarding trends and products, market timing, identifying long-term value situations, long-term brand development, and identifying technologies and products that will be highly profitable. I do not “blog” often, as I spend more time processing information then communicating data. I have been following many Seeking Alpha writers as a member since 2012. I also gain information/data/charts from many other sources. And have many business and company alerts directly sent to me on their products, and product tests involving new medicines. All of my Healthcare blogs can be found here = https://seekingbiotechalpha.com/blogs and here at Seeking Alpha = https://seekingalpha.com/user/5205071/instablogs#instablogs
These are extraordinary times for investing and processing new products and ventures and is not limited to the healthcare sector. However, the amounts of money being devoted to new medical technologies and new medicines is remarkable. This site is not financial advise, this site does highlight my investments in the healthcare sector.
As of 6/24/2022 I remain 100% invested in biotech/medtech companies, My reasons are as follows:
1. Healthcare is the right category for growth over next 10+ years, as I agree with comments from Russ Koesterich of BlackRock® on September 19, 2018 www.blackrock.com/...
"At $3.5 trillion per year, total healthcare spending (public and private) makes up roughly 20% of the U.S. economy. The nation's 80 million baby boomers provide a stable source of ongoing revenue growth for healthcare companies throughout the value chain. Demographic tailwinds are widely expected to continue to propel this secular story in the United States."
2. Healthcare is the right category for mergers; e.g. ($BMY) recent acquisition of ($CELG) and ($LLY) recent acquisition of (LOXO) and on 6/17/2019 Pfizer is buying Array (ARRY)
3. Healthcare is also a defensive category if things turn south as many company pipelines and product development will continue to progress.
4. The biotech sector is increasingly becoming an effort to seek stronger partnership (seeking biotech partnerships). Many companies are developing new drugs that can in many instances work better in combination with other successful/newer drugs or help other drugs work better against specific medical issues when used in combination.
5. Both biotech and medtech companies are also increasing their partnerships with biotechnology focused colleges and medical universities/hospitals towards successful co-product development partnerships. This is occurring on a global basis. The www.biotechVORTEX.com section of this site covers these partnerships and mergers in the biopharma sector.
I like following companies that have dividend growth and great new products and pipelines - ($LLY), ($MDT), ($PFE), ($MRK), ($AZN), ($A)
my current holdings as of 6/24/2022 =
(GILD) (AMGN) (JNJ) (ABBV) (BMY) (AZN) (MRK) (LLY) (PFE) BGNE MRNA MDT BCTX BNTX NBIX
my top growth picks (no dividends) - (ISRG), (ABMD), (ILMN), (BIIB), (REGN), (VRTX), ARRY, (SRPT) AMRN VAR DXCM PODD VCYT NVAX GALT BGNE MRNA BCTX BHVN VIR SGEN BHVN BMRN XLRN BNTX NBIX
Before February 5th, 2018 I was a passive investor, no longer. I am now an active supporter of all the healthcare, medical, and biotech companies that I hold stock in or trade in.
Please be advised that this is not investment advise, these are my investments. Thank you for visiting seeking biotech alpha and please feel free to send me comments/feedback/questions - to danwatson888@gmail.com
My best to all in 2022, as we will continue to see chaotic volatility again and we will definitely see vilification of the entire healthcare sector by politicos, for the fifth consecutive year. We will also see continued attacks by state AG's filing lawsuits against bio-pharma/biotech companies for huge sums to off-set their declining state finances. There is no doubt 2020 will go down as the worst year for bio-pharma companies from a political/PR standpoint as the 2020 election year brought the greatest number of targeted political ads against the bio-pharma sector. Positive product news regarding the virus has had little effect on countering the continued vilification of the bio-pharma sector in 2020. I keep track of this at www.biotech-WARS.com and www.biotecWARS.com and www.biotechSTORM.com
I also keep track of the SARS-CoV2 virus and Covid-19 news and updates here at www.biohazard2020.com / www.BiotechSTORM.com and will continue to do so in 2022. This is the latest page I have on the www.BiotechSTORM.com = https://seekingbiotechalpha.com/biohazard2021-6 and unfortunately the third year of this pandemic and the seventh page on this virus is here = https://seekingbiotechalpha.com/biohazard2022-7
The seventh and eighth pages on the SARS-CoV2 virus also include other medical/healthcare issues facing the industry i.e. baby formula, Monkeypox virus, food supply, MRNA patent issues and more = https://seekingbiotechalpha.com/biohazard2022-8
Bio-Pharma/MedTech companies that I invest in = I keep track of their products/meds at the www.biotecMAX.com section of this site, most recent info is here = https://seekingbiotechalpha.com/2021-3 for many of the most successful meds I keep track of at www.biotecNOVA.com - latest is here https://seekingbiotechalpha.com/biotecnova-3
And I am working on a new medicines page with all top meds by illness - it is a work in progress at this point = https://seekingbiotechalpha.com/medicines
These are the primary companies I invest in and keep track of;
VAR ABBV, ABMD, ABT, AMGN, AMRN, AZN, BGNE, BIIB, BLUE, BMRN, BMY, GILD, ISRG, JNJ, LLY, MDT, MRK, NVS, PFE, REGN, RHHBY, SGEN, SRPT, VRTX (ILMN) (PODD) (DXCM) (RARE) VCYT NVAX XLRN SRNE GALT BCTX BNTX MRNA BHVN

Ukrainian opera singers perform heartwarming national anthem in Lviv
Mar 14, 2022 The Independent
Opera singers gathered in the centre of Lviv, in western Ukraine, on Sunday to sing the country's national anthem. It was a demonstration of harmony that underlined the mood of national pride, as Ukraine seeks to resist Russia's invasion. The brief but moving performance took place hours after Russian missiles pounded a military training base in the Lviv region, killing 35 people in an attack on a facility that has served as a crucial hub for cooperation between Ukraine and the NATO countries.

Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) | Karolina Protsenko | Singing and Playing Violin

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood, His mercy rains
Unending love, Amazing grace
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures
My chains are gone
I've been set free (been set free)
My God, my Savior has ransomed me (ransomed me)
And like a flood (like a flood) His mercy rains (mercy rains)
Unending love, oh, Amazing grace
The Earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, Who called me here below
Will be forever mine
My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood, His mercy rains
Unending love, Amazing grace (grace)
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind (was blind), but now (but now) I see

From prison to park: Camden's Cooper's Poynt Phaedra Trethan
A Prison Falls, a Playground Rises in North Camden By Matt Skoufalos | June 5, 2017
Overhauling the site was a project that took decades and millions of dollars. The Delaware River Port Authority allocated $8 million for demolition of the prison, and the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (EDA) supplemented that with $5 million in planning and infrastructure grants.
The Wells Fargo Regional Foundation kicked in $750,000 for a neighborhood planning grant, and the William Penn Foundation added another quarter-million dollars for the bikeway improvements.
There are plans to construct a mixed-use commercial-residential development on the surrounding property at Cooper’s Poynt, but the EDA still hasn’t found qualified developers to take on the project.
Maureen Hassett, EDA senior vice president of governance, communications, and strategic initiatives, said the agency is evaluating options for the land, which is still owned by the New Jersey Department of Corrections.
Rodney Sadler, Executive Director of the Save Our Waterfront neighborhood coalition, recollected the years of work that went into salvaging the property, from opposing construction of the prison to the day it was leveled.
“It made a difference,” Sadler said. “It made it possible.”

“There needs to be that other connection,” Sadler said. “It has to start somewhere.”
