As early as the 5th February 2020 there was news about Gilead’s involvement in research for a COVID-19 treatment. Here is an article on the start of a trial with their drug Remdesivir.

If you entered at the breakout level, it would be a good idea to set a trailing stop loss to lock in some profits. Note: this is a short term trade idea for me, not a long term investment. Do your own further research if you are looking for a longer term holding period.

NOTE: Many Biotech drug trials fail. The idea is not to believe the hype, and trade the moves, in and out quickly. If you do believe in a company, at least lock in profits by using a (mental) trailing stop loss, or take partial profits.

These are NOT stock tips. Please note these are just trade ideas that I may, or may not take. It just helps me to focus by writing them down. I also do not give exits as I have various readers from Day Traders to long term Investors. Each of you have to do your own research, and use your own exits that suit your style of trading.
