Stock market investing into Big Pharma companies

[Raju]

I've been giving a lot of thought to the best ways to invest. I thought that may be as pharmacists our knowledge + access to info and gossip of latest products may help us make a fortune in pharmaceutical investing.

Anybody got any experience or views in this regards?

Yes, I've dabbled. Our 'specialist' knowledge about what new drugs are being released/price/population size can lead to very informed decisions. All the information you need is in the public domain, but we know where/how to use it better than Joe Public.

Never had the guts to invest in generics companies (always stuck to Big Pharma) - but wonder if you keep your eye on what patents are expiring if you could get good money there.

Only advice I can give is to start small, only with what you can afford to lose, then work your way up from there.
