In this week’s special edition of State of the Market, Chief Income Strategist Marc Lichtenfeld sat down with Associate Franchise Publisher Rachel Gearhart to tackle a tough question…
After pharmaceutical companies’ run higher in the wake of positive COVID-19 news, has the ship sailed for biotech investors?

After sharing his thoughts on the impending mRNA revolution, Marc reveals the three top qualities he looks for in a biotech company.
