BiQ: Weekly Recap for February 16, 2025 (Premium)

Welcome to the BiQ Weekly Recap #4!

First, I'd like to welcome all the new Biotech iQ members who joined over these past few weeks--thank you for joining the BiQ Community. I've been a biotech investor for over two decades, but BiQ is a new service, and I'm humbled and grateful for its warm reception from the biotech community.

BiQ is 100% subscriber supported. I am not beholden to any outside interests, don't write for any other publications, and this service doesn't derive any revenue from any source other than member subscriptions. I also do not need to "dress up" my short-term performance for sites like TipRanks, or publish a required number of articles for sites like Seeking Alpha. This allows me to provide my subscribers with the best service and unbiased information I can--and maintain my focus on long-term value creation rather than short-term "window dressing". None of this would be possible without your support.

If you haven't already done so, I encourage members to join the BiQ Community Chat Server on Discord. Premium members have access to the Public and Premium channels. BiQ Community Chat is the quickest way to receive updates from BiQ in real-time. It's also a great place to discuss biotech/medtech investing ideas, ask questions, and connect with other biotech/medtech enthusiasts.

It was another relatively flat week for the XBI, but with plenty of volatility along the way. The index opened Monday trading at 91.84 and closed Friday at 91.39, hitting a low of 87.90 on Wednesday morning but mostly recovering through Friday's close--with heavy volume coming in during the last few minutes of trading.

Fortunately, the BiQ Active Portfolio performed somewhat better, as we can see from the weekly performance chart below, with 14/20 BiQ tickers closing green for the week.
