In this episode of HedgeD, we replay the November 30th, 2023 HedgeD, With A Capital “D” webinar where Mark Yusko and Cory Lester talked about why they are so constructive on the outlook for Biopharma stocks. The fundamental disconnect between where Biopharma stocks are trading and the innovation and advancements in treatments reached an extreme level in 2023, in their opinion. They believe it is only a matter of time before investor attention returns to the sector focused on the science rather than the macro environment. We hope you enjoy the conversation.
