If I had to buy one share of any biotech with no price restriction, I'd naturally gravitate toward the most successful companies in the industry. However, the exercise becomes more complicated if you stipulate a limit of $50 per share; most of the prominent biotech stocks are trading well above that amount. Those around that level are, disproportionately, relatively small and risky companies whose prospects don't look all that strong.
