Hot Life Sciences Stocks To Invest In 2017

Whether you have an index fund, an actively managed portfolio or a tactical portfolio, for the past year or so, your portfolio probably has been doing so-so. Not performing poorly, but not doing great either. The portfolios of most investors aren��t crashing; they are sort of running in place.

But we have witnessed huge rallies in recent weeks. And also huge declines. So what��s going on?

To start with, the markets peaked about a year ago. Since then, investors have been on a volatile rollercoaster that has a downward bias.

The Dow Jones industrial average peaked at 18,351 a year ago and has had two major declines since then. Each recovery rally has not been able to surpass the peak.

Hot Life Sciences Stocks To Invest In 2017: Fitbit, Inc.(FIT)

Advisors' Opinion:

    Fitbit is the latest tech gadget sensation. It has 22% of the wearables market and it looks like this holiday season could be huge for the company. Fitness and wellness are a big market globally which Fitbit is only beginning to tap.

    Giving credit where it's due, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) got the party started with just the mere rumor of its smartwatch. However, whereas Apple defined itself at the art of the wearable world, Fitbit Inc. (NYSE:FIT) attempted to position itself as the science side of the new category. Granted, it ultimately failed do so in a successful way, with its PurePulse heart-rate monitoring technology not being accurate enough to trust for health-related reasons. At the very least though, Fitbit confirmed there is an interested market for healthcare-oriented wearables.

    Where Fitbit failed, a young up-and-comer called Biotricity Inc. (OTCMKTS:BTCY) is positioned to find success.

    Biotricity is the name behind two different though related technologies. One is called bioflux, and the other is called biolife. Both are heart-monitoring devices... the former for use by caregivers in a clinical setting, while the latter is for use by individuals outside of a clinical setting. Neither is on the market yet, but both are projected to be on the market next year. The company recently filed a 510k request with the FDA for its bioflux technology (the 510k path is for medical devices rather than drugs, and as such doesn't require a lot of regulatory deliberation), and has heard back from the FDA about a key part of the device already - it got the green light. Another arm of the FDA must look at other aspects of the device.

    And the odds of a complete approval of bioflux are strong.
