COVID VACCINE STOCKS GET HAMMERED - 24 of 27 fall.
Taking us back to the dark days of July 23 -24, the red ink flowed today. There were only four COVID VACCINE STOCKS that eked out tiny gains. The rest of the stocks fell. Only PDS Bio suffered a double digit loss--down over 11%, but lots of stocks got hit hard.The average COVID VACCINE STOCK fell by 3.26%, which is less of a loss than we saw on the two down days last week. The excitement and mild controversy over Novavax Phase I results may have pushed these stocks into hangover mode. Perhaps we're into the dog days of summer. Let's see what happens tomorrow on the last trading day this week.

COVID VACCINE STOCKS take off! PDS #1
Happy days are here again! COVID VACCINE STOCKS take off with a vengeance.
It has been exactly two weeks since these stocks registering such a blow out day. These companies were up just under 5% on average.
Fully 22 of the 27 stocks were up - some way up.
PDS Biotechnology rocketed up the most, adding 17.5% to lead the way. GeoVax was next, up almost 14%. Both Biondvax and Dynavax were up over 10%. There were many companies up in the high single digits - including many of the big names like Moderna and NVAX.
This week's bottom COVID VACCINE STOCKS - DVAX out, TBIO in -- Emergent Bio moving up
Quite stable bottom 10 COVID VACCINE STOCKS with only DVAX climbing out and replaced by Translate Bio whose return fell from 138% to 100% since March 1.
Generex Bio remains at the bottom with a loss of 55% since March 1. Its numbers are poor based on the March 1 selected date as it had just popped up to $1.41 and then went straight back down.
Emergent Bio had the best week of the group with a strong close on Friday--going from a 62% return to 101%. The only other one of these stocks with a positive week was Adaptive Bio which went from a 29% to a 33% return.
